Twenty-one million people in America have diabetes. The number is growing
to epidemic proportions. Are you at risk? Rose Resendes, RN, Diabetes
Educator for
St. Anne's Hospital
answered this question before an
audience made up of foster mothers at the Robert F. Stoico/FIRSTFED
Center for Breast Care at St. Anne's, part of the
"Just
for You" speaker series, held on March 29, 2006. Ms. Resendes explained the
what, why and how of diabetes and what anyone can do to prevent, delay
or control diabetes and to break the "diabetes cycle." Many of the
mothers in attendance were concerned about prevention of diabetes in
their children after hearing about the rise of Type II diabetes among
adolescents in the past ten years. |
