Around the world, many people struggle with diabetes. There are 2 main types of diabetes:

🩸 Type 1 which is insulin dependent, meaning, it can only be treated with insulin therapy. This type of diabetes usually appears in adolescence, it has no cure and is not reversible.

🩸 Type 2 diabetes is non-insulin dependent, meaning, it can be treated with lifestyle changes and/or types of medication other than insulin therapy. The onset is usually after age 40. This type of diabetes is preventable and can be reversed with good nutrition and an exercise program.
