Why should we care deeply about diabetes—a disease affecting how our bodies metabolize sugar into usable energy? Not only is it one of the deadliest and costliest epidemics of our time, it’s also getting worse. According to the CDC, approximately 15.9% of the US population has diabetes, and this number continues to rise dramatically each year.
Diet has a remarkable impact on the disease. The standard American diet, high in added sugars, processed foods, and fats, actively promotes diabetes. The good news is we can also drastically lower our risk with simple diet and lifestyle changes.
In this webinar, Dr. Milton Mills and Michael Como, BSN, MSN, CRNP, explain how diet can help prevent, treat—and potentially even reverse—diabetes.
