Dear Health Alerts Subscriber,

Has your doctor ever told you that you're at risk for diabetes? Americans of all ages, even young children, are more overweight and less active than previous generations, which puts them at greater risk for diabetes. Recent estimates put one 7% of the population as diabetic, with many more pre-diabetic, or suffering from metabolic syndrome.

Even worse, as yet, there is NO CURE for diabetes, only a holding operation to try to manage the disease, and keep its many side effects at bay.

Several preventive measures can significantly help reduce your risk of developing diabetes. Similar measures can help you if you already have diabetes, so you can keep your diabetes under control.

For the latest news and breakthroughs on diabetes, you need The Johns Hopkins White Paper 2008: Diabetes

The expertise you require in the layman's language
you can understand and apply.

The goal of The Johns Hopkins White Paper 2008: Diabetes is to show you how to prevent diabetes. Or, if you already have it, how to manage your disease and improve your quality of life.
