Diabetes is a nasty disease and when you consider it’s linked the leading cause of blindness and amputation in the United States, is associated with increased risk of Alzheimer's, associated with increased risk of Stroke not to mention that just having diabetes is not only an increased risk of heart attack, but means you are treated as if you’ve already had your first heart attack, you hopefully can see why I support this cause.
