Diabetes

Diabetes, one of the oldest diseases known to humankind, was for centuries also one of the most deaded. It was dogged by myths, misconceptions and half-truths. Most people are vaguely aware that diabetes has something to do with sugar, and may wonder if it's caused by eating too many sweets. They may think that insulin injections was the only way to control diabetes, or believe that diabetes only strikes children. There are only half-right. So …

…understand what caused diabetes, let alone develop truly effective treatments. But still, there are very good drugs available to help control it and there is excellent treatment to reduce the risk or severity of complications. If you have diabetes, you have every right to congratulate yourself. Not because you have it, but because you've taken charge - you're coping with diet, you're coping with medication, you're coping with testing. You're coping with living with diabetes.
