Treatment and Control of Diabetes

May 20, 2019

Diabetes mellitus is a worldwide health problem characterized by the body’s inability to break down sugar due to an inefficiency of the hormone insulin.

According to the American Diabetes Association, the toll of diabetes is significant if left unchecked.

  1. Two out of three people with diabetes die from heart disease or stroke.
  2. Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure.
  3. Diabetes is the leading cause of new cases of blindness among adults.
  4. The rate of amputation for people with diabetes is 10 times higher than for people without diabetes. About 60-70 percent of people with diabetes have mild to severe forms of nerve damage that could result in pain in the feet or hands, slowed digestion, sexual dysfunction and other nerve problems.
