 * “Diabetes is referred to by the medical world as, 'Diabetes Mellitus,' and is a set of diseases where the person's body is unable to regulate the amount of sugar in their blood.” Pg.1
 * ”Hyperglycemia damages the body in several ways, including damage to a person's kidneys, nerves, eyes, and blood vessels. The damage done through Hyperglycemia to a person's kidneys is known as, 'Diabetic Nephropathy,' and is a leading cause of kidney failure. The damage done to a person's nerves is referred to as, 'Diabetic Neuropathy,' and causes both foot wounds and ulcers, commonly leading to either foot or leg amputations. Damages to a person's Autonomic Nervous System can lead to a condition known as, 'Gastroparesis,' or paralysis of their stomach; it can also cause chronic diarrhea, and an inability in the person's body to control heart rate and blood pressure as they change posture. 'Diabetic Retinopathy,' is the medical name for damage done to a person's retinas in their eyes, and is a leading cause of blindness.” Pg.1
 * “Diabetes can accelerate the formation of fatty plaque deposits inside a person's arteries or, 'Atherosclerosis,' leading to a clot or blockages. Results of the formation of these deposits can include a decrease in the circulation in the person's legs and arms called, 'Peripheral Vascular Disease,' or even a heart attack or stroke. Diabetes presents people who have it with a predisposition for such things as high cholesterol, high triglyceride levels, and high blood pressure. These conditions alone increase the risk of heart disease, blood vessel complications, and kidney disease; along with Hyperglycemia, the risks are even greater.” Pg.1
 * “There are a number of infections that are associated with Diabetes which are often times more dangerous for a person who has diabetes due to their body's reduced ability to fight infections. For a person with diabetes, an infection may make control of glucose levels more difficult, delaying recovery from an infection.” Pg.1
 * “Persons with diabetes should either moderate, or eliminate their consumption of alcohol. They should not have more than seven drinks containing alcohol in a week; never more than two or three in one evening. One drink is 1.5 ounces of liquor, 12 ounces of beer, or 6 ounces of wine. For persons with Type 2 Diabetes, alcohol is a known risk factor for Neuritis, high or low blood sugar levels, and increased triglycerides.” Pg.1
 * **“**Persons with diabetes who smoke; no matter if it involves cigarettes, a pipe, a cigar, or another form of tobacco - increase their risk markedly for every complication of diabetes. Persons with diabetes who use tobacco and need help quitting should speak with their health care provider.” Pg.1
