Publisher's Synopsis
Diabetes is the sixth greatest cause of death in the United States, and it is responsible for more than 130 billion dollars worth of costs associated with health care.
The number of newly identified instances of the disease continues to climb.
It is anticipated that one out of every three children who entered the world in the year 2000 may get diabetes at some point during their lives.
Diabetes is expected to become one of the most frequent diseases in the world during the next couple of decades, affecting at least half a billion people.
Bringing attention to the devastating effects of diabetes may also encourage society as a whole to take action to halt the spread of the disease and improve the lives of those who are afflicted with it on a day-to-day basis. The collaborative efforts of multiple groups-including the government, industry, medical professionals, nutritionists, and people whose lives have been affected by diabetes-will contribute to the reduction of the diabetes pandemic, the limitation of its effects, and the guarantee of excellent health for a variety of populations.
The Complete Diabetes Code takes into account any and all non-pharmaceutical and inexpensive methods of combating the diabetes epidemic.
