It is getting worse because people are not addressing the root causes adequately. It has an effect on virtually everybody, directly and personally, or indirectly by the heavy burden it places on society. You may be on the road to diabetes, especially if you have features of metabolic abnormalities such as hypertension, high triglycerides, high cholesterol, being overweight and/or sedentary, or with a family history of these problems. Need Motivation/Incentive To Live More Healthy? Diabetes Discovered is a glimpse into the reality of what happens to very many people who are getting sick by simply following the default modern lifestyle. You may think you understand the importance of being healthy, but are you doing what it takes to actually be healthy? Diabetes Discovered was created to motivate YOU to be healthy and help you make it a reality.
