Women and Diabetes

 

Diabetes is a serious illness that affects over 20 million people in the United States. Anyone can have diabetes. Many people have diabetes but do not know it. Diabetes can cause serious health problems like heart disease, kidney problems, blindness, stroke, and loss of a foot or leg (amputation).

 

There is good news. Diabetes can be controlled by maintaining a healthy diet, exercising, and using FDA-approved medicines, insulin, and devices every day.
