Many years ago, Indian people lived a healthy way of life. They hunted, walked and ate simple, natural foods. Today we walk less and drive more. Most of our food comes from a store and is no longer natural, but processed. These lifestyle changes have resulted in more people developing diabetes.

Although there is no “cure” for diabetes, you can control it through exercise, diet and medicine. Changing your lifestyle to control diabetes is not easy and takes time. You are not alone. Our team of health professionals would like to help you understand and control diabetes. We want to help you make gradual changes that you can stick with for the rest of your life.
