The Key is prevention

Doctors and scientists have devoted much effort in trying to address the problem of diabetes. Sadly, many diabetes who are undergoing treatment still end up with the variuos complications taht make their levs miserable, affect their work and finances, and shorten their life-spans. Only those who're perfectly controlled, with blood sugar levels nromal all the time, can expect resonably normal lives.

Unfortunately, this is rarely achieved. More worrying is that probably a third of diabetics don't even know of their diabetic condition.

To avoid being a victim of this scourge, the smart solution is prevention. As mentioned above, the oly un-modifiable risk factor is the genes you carry. Everything else depents on your commitment to your health.
