New York, NY - More than 23 million Americans, or 8 percent of the U.S. population, have some type of diabetes. While an estimated 17.9 million people have been diagnosed, nearly one quarter is unaware that they have the disease.
Diabetes is one of the most costly and burdensome chronic diseases of our time, increasing in epidemic proportions in the United States and throughout the world. The total prevalence of diabetes increased 13.5% from 2005 to 2007. In addition to the 23.6 million affected, 57 million people are pre-diabetic. Pre-diabetes occurs when blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but not high enough for a type 2 diabetes diagnosis. Pre-diabetes is also dangerous because long-term damage to the heart and circulatory system may already be starting to occur.
This increasingly common disease affects people of all ages, races, and genders. People with diabetes must address the challenges of eating healthy, exercising regularly, monitoring glucose, and administering insulin or other necessary medications. There is an abundance of conflicting information about the disease on the market. Mayo Clinic: The Essential Diabetes Book (http://www.diabetessymptomsonline.com/samples/mayo-clinic-essential-guide.php) cuts through the clutter and offers readers a trusted source of information about how to live and thrive with this condition.
This authoritative guide from the world's first and largest integrated, not-for-profit group medical practice offers clear direction on managing diabetes. Specifically, Mayo Clinic: The Essential Diabetes Book (http://www.diabetessymptomsonline.com/samples/mayo-clinic-essential-guide.php) arms people with diabetes and their family members and caregivers with important information, including:
How to control and prevent pre-diabetic conditions

A comprehensive update on medications and treatments

Diabetes-friendly recipes that dont compromise taste or quality
Guidance on how to achieve a healthy weight
"The good news is that despite the challenges that people with diabetes and their families face, there are multiple opportunities to improve and protect your health. Mayo Clinic: The Essential Diabetes Book (http://www.diabetessymptomsonline.com/samples/mayo-clinic-essential-guide.php) helps people identify and act upon the best practices to prevent, manage and control diabetes," said Maria Collazo-Clavell, M.D., the book's medical editor-in-chief and a specialist in Mayo Clinic's division of endocrinology, diabetes, metabolism and nutrition.
