Managing Your Diabetes
A Whole-Person Look at Diabetes
You’ve heard of diabetes. But what exactly is it, how does it impact the body, and how can it be managed?
Diabetes is a condition that affects how the body processes sugar in the blood. People who have been diagnosed with diabetes spend about $17,000 each year on medical expenses. Out of that $17,000, over $9,500 is for diabetes treatment.
