Diabetes - Type II
Approximately ninety percent of all diabetics develop type 2 diabetes. The most significant risk factors for type 2 diabetes are an individual's weight, family history of diabetes, age, and a nutritionally deficient diet. A poor diet for diabetics would include very little fiber and a diet largely made up of refined carbohydrates and sugar. Our diabetic educators can teach you how to eat a diet which is rich in high fiber and complex carbohydrates. Combining this diet with weight loss and management can offer one of the most effective ways to protect a diabetic's health.
