According to the American Diabetes Association, there are 23.6 million people in the United States who have been diagnosed with diabetes. Another alarming factoid from this study is that diabetes has increased 13.5 percent from 2005 to 2007. With so many Americans facing a life-altering affliction, more information regarding diabetes diet and diabetes symptoms should be available, which is where www. DiabetesIsLife. com comes in.
Diabetes is Life is a new web venture operated by Steve Toy, an individual who has been living with Type I diabetes for over 12 years.
"I started the website in April 2009," he began, "with the intention of building a place where people can help those who are diabetic, as well as those who live with them."
With facts involving diabetes symptoms, suggested diets and other notable information, DiabetesIsLife. com is poised to be one of the most comprehensive websites regarding diabetes, much of which is culled from Toy's own life and research.
"The site is partly based on my experiences. If you yourself, or someone you know suffers from diabetes, it's good to know how to handle situations where your health might be compromised," Toy said.
In addition to his personal information, Toy has also included exercise equipment and books to help other diabetics. There is also the blog that Toy has started simultaneously with his informational website.
"I wanted to get information out to people in a plain-speaking manner," Toy said of www. DiabeticResearchBlog. com. "With so many medical websites, it seems like it's more of a medical journal and this is simple and understandable. It will help people feel comforted."
Still in its infancy, Toy is constantly working on the site, including information about holistic cures and adding more articles to help people out. Despite millions of people being diagnosed with diabetes, it's somewhat reassuring to know that there's an individual like Steve Toy who's out there helping people for no other reason than an altruistic one.
