Diabetes is an insidious condition afflicting an estimated 24 million Americans. 
 
And more than one third of them don't yet know they have it!  When you think on a global scale, and consider all of the Emerging Nations the number of diabetics is staggering! 57 million Americans are pre-diabetic, meaning they are very likely to become diabetic within the next 10 years.

The latest statistics estimate there are approximately 266 million people diagnosed with diabetes worldwide, and that number is expected to rise to 380 million by the year 2025!

Diabetes is Life Threatening!

But, with early detection diabetes is manageable, allowing those afflicted to live long and fruitful lives. Although no cure for diabetes exists, proper treatment can control the disease and prevent complications.  Once identified as having diabetes, you should immediately:

  1. Consult with a diabetes specialist (Diabetologist or Endocrinologist). 
  2. Start on a supervised medical and nutritional therapy program.        
  3. Include an individualized physical fitness program into your lifestyle. 

All three are absolutely necessary for the proper management of diabetes.  logo stand as a constant reminder of these three facts.
