Diabetes Reaching Epidemic Proportions? Over 300 Million At Risk Globally!
Are You A Diabetic?
Are You A Statistic? Or What About Your Loved Ones? According to endocrinologist Frank Vinicor of the CDC (Center For Disease Control): "We're seeing the greatest increase in obesity and lack of physical activity in people in their 30's, so therefore it is not surprising to find the 70% increase in just 8 years. We are now beginning to see the consequences of physical inactivity and weight gain that go well beyond feeling good about yourself or cosmetic issues." Did you know that approximately 17,000,000 Americans have diabetes? Wow! What a figure. But not overwhelming isn't? Because it wasn't you. Let's see what happen annually in the US. You'll be surprise that research shows statically:- ~ 70,000 Premature deaths from hearth disease ANUALLY ~ 80,000 Amputations of the lower limbs ANUALLY ~ 115,000 Problems associated with kidney disease ANUALLY ~ 25,000 Loss of sight and blindness ANUALLY Every year there are DEATHS, Every year there are AMPUTATIONS, Every year people just get BLIND ... all this is because of Diabetic Problems. It might be you next year? Sadly, many of us losses friends and family before they are even diagnosed! Now you see the picture? So what can you do? Of course you need to see your physician or clinician and obtain the proper tests to determine your own risk factors. But, before you do that, you need to be informed. How?
