Sometimes with good sugar control the process ofdeterioration continues to go on. The diabetes industry had totry finding alternative ways to curb the problem.

Special groups raise millions of dollars every year to helpfund research for a diabetes cure in the hope that soon, lovedones will no longer be ravaged by its complications. Advancesin technology continue to help provide better care for thosewho suffer from the complications of diabetes and make life ahappy healthy journey.
