There are better techniques for monitoring diabetes and more effective drugs for treating it, and a major study published last year shows that by making only modest changes in diet and exercise, people at high risk of Type 2 diabetes can stave off the disease for at least three years and perhaps a lot longer (more on Type 1 in just...
...picture is emerging that is changing the way we think about what was already a complex disease. It turns out that patients are not as helpless against its ravages as was once thought, especially if they are warned at the disease's very earliest stages. Changes in lifestyle and diet can, in the vast majority of cases, make a big difference.

So you have to try to help them get as much of those things that they like into their eating plan but also make the changes that will help lower...
