What do Kim Jong-il, the leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and Larry H. Miller, the owner of the Utah Jazz have in common?The CDC estimates 24M people in the U.S. have Type 2 diabetes--many undiagnosed. Knowing family history, monitoring food intake and participating in physical activity are keys of healthy living. Regular dental visits might be of help as more links between dental health and diabetes come to light.
Diabetes is devastating: Blindness, heart attack, stroke and amputation can occur when the disease is ignored. Jong-il's diabetes has lead to heart disease and Larry, $500M net worth, is now a double leg amputee. Preventable conditions with early diagnosis and treatment!
Sad note - Larry Miller passed on February 20, 2009
