Video Series: What You Need to Know About Diabetes
Posted by Linda Daignault on Tue, May 18, 2010 @ 09:06 AM
Many parents call us at Wellspring with concerns that their child is pre-diabetic or has actually been diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. This is a potentially devastating illness that, over time, essentially causes the body's major systems to shut down.
However, even if you or your child has already been diagnosed with Type II Diabetes, it is completely reversible through adopting the kind of healthy lifestyle that we teach at Wellspring.
Over the next few days, we'll be posting a number of videos on our blog that address what parents need to know about Type II Diabetes.
In the video below, Dr. Davis, a physician in San Francisco, discusses the basics of Type II Diabetes and gives the following advice if you or a loved one has already been diagnosed:
Take Action
* Treat the diabetes as early as possible
* Exercise regularly
* Keep a healthy diet & a regular exercise regimen for your children
* Stay active
This advice seems simple enough, but it is absolutely life-saving! We are committed to the health of you and your family at Wellspring. Please watch and learn.
