Healthy lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, can help prevent or control diabetes.
Diabetes is a health condition that starts in the pancreas, but its effects can quickly spread from head to toe. According to the American Diabetes Association, nearly 24 million Americans have diabetes. But the scarier statistic is that almost 6 million people have the disease and don’t even know it. Diabetes increases your risk for heart disease, kidney failure, vision loss, nerve damage and more. The good news: You can keep the disease under control—and stave off its side effects—with healthy lifestyle habits.
