He will be a great asset to the Board.”
According to the Diabetes Research Institute, insulin serves as a “key” to open your cells, to allow the glucose to enter — and allow you to use the glucose for energy. Diabetes occurs when this system does not work. The ADA states it is estimated that one out of every three children born in the United States after the year 2000 will be directly affected by diabetes. Floridians increasingly feel the effects of diabetes as thousands of people suffer from the disease, and many others may have diabetes and not know it. In South Florida approximately over half of a million adults currently live with diabetes or prediabetes. ADA South Florida is committed to educating the public about how to stop diabetes and support those living with the disease.
Modernizing Medicine has formed a team to support the efforts of the upcoming 2016 Step Out: Palm Beach Walk to Stop Diabetes® on Saturday, October 29 at Dreher Park in West Palm Beach.
