The CDC reports that 10% of Americans now have diabetes; a result of our obesity epidemic. Do you know 10 people? Chances are one has diabetes.
Diabetes can cause heart disease, kidney failure, Alzheimer's disease, strokes, neuropathy, peripheral vascular disease and amputations.
If you read my blog and facebook you know how important diet and exercise are if you want to be healthy as you age.
I exercise at least 4 times a week and eat fresh fruit and vegetables daily. Even when I was working full time I managed to cycle on weekends and evenings (in summer), and found time to go to the gym, play tennis and softball. You should too if you don't yet.
