I'm hearing this disease mentioned more and more. Early Symptoms of Adult Onset Diabetes (Type 2) are often subtle and may be attributed to aging or obesity. But we have control, nutrition and exercise are great ways to avoid this disease.

A person may have type 2 diabetes for many years without knowing it. If not properly treated, type 2 diabetes can lead to complications like blindness, kidney failure, heart disease, and nerve damage.


"41 million Americans are estimated to have pre-diabetes. Most people with pre-diabetes develop type 2 diabetes within 10 years, unless they make changes to their diet and physical activity that results in a loss of about 5-7 percent of their body weight." (By Presidents council on physical fitness and sports)


We need to stabilize blood sugar and here are a few simple things to avoid diabetes.

Avoid fatty or fried foods
No soda drinks, donuts, and candy bars
Limit intake of sugar per day

And please exercise at least 3 times a week. Even a 15 minute walk after dinner will make a great difference.
