I'm Janet Smith the author of this site. I've had
diabetes since I was 3½. I spent years studying and practicing good
diabetes control. I know what it takes to get diabetes control. I know how
difficult it can be to make the changes necessary to get normal range blood
sugar. I know just how frustrating and sometimes
hard to control diabetes can be.
Helping you understand what diabetes is, how it works, and how
to get control of your diabetes
is
the main goal of BeatDiabetesDaily.com is all about.
Topics such as taking your diabetic medications,
healthy eating for diabetes,
being active, checking and evaluating your blood sugar and
other
diabetic topics

We'll discuss
traditional treatments, natural alternatives and several
combinations...all to help you understand how to control your
diabetes. I will point out ways to help you understand your
diabetes, learn how to make lifestyle changes to get better control,
and learn how to adjust your attitude to make good diabetes control
a daily part of your life. Simply put you will learn how to Beat
Diabetes Daily. That's what it takes....daily control to beat
diabetes.
Daily control is the only way to beat diabetes. There's a host
of things you must control to beat diabetes. The efforts you
make for good diabetes control are the most important steps you can
take to ensure you have a healthy future. Here's why:
Diabetes is a serious chronic health issue that
can lead to many other problems.
Without proper control, diabetes complications can arise that are
much worse than the diabetes itself. With good control you can
live a long, active, and fulfilling life.
Diabetes, typ1 or type 2 is not a disease that is
controlled by just taking your medication and forgetting it. Just taking
your diabetes medicine won't control your diabetes. Unless you do more
you're setting yourself up to become one of the horrible statistics listed
below.
Diabetes Statistics
Each day:
·
4000 new cases of diabetes are
diagnosed.
· 600
people die from diabetes complications.
·
200 people undergo an amputation due to diabetes.
·
100 cases of kidney failure occur due to diabetes
These statistics were grimly uttered
by Ann Albright, Director of the Division of Diabetes Translation for the Center
for Disease Control (CDC).Additionally, she said that “of the children born in America in 2000, one in three will develop diabetes in their lifetime.”
In addition, according to the
American Diabetes Association (ADA), there are 21 million people in the United States who
are diagnosed with diabetes and if something dramatic does not occur in the next
20 years, this number will double! The costs for diabetes will exceed $174
billion dollars in 2008.
$116 Million on medical expenditures
$38 million on reduced national productivity"
These statistics are not improving. If you are one of those
diagnosed with diabetes or
pre diabetes, it is vital to your health and longevity that you get control of your
diabetes NOW!
I've witnessed many people with
diabetic complications and
even death because of poor diabetes control. My mission with this
site is to help as many people with diabetes as I can to gain and
keep blood sugar levels normal to help prevent the horrible
complications caused by diabetes
Here you will get straight talk about how to get better
at controlling diabetes.
I've "walked the walk " living with diabetes for almost all my life...Now
