The toll of diabetes on the immunes system has been identified and widely documented for years -- as it relates to many ailments. Forgive the cynicism, but I live under the assumption we'll all be cancer patients some day -- even for those who strive to take great care of health and fitness; unseen external substances and all. With that in mind, with any impending disease in mind, we should all strive to prevent the onset of diabetes. More so, and often the hard part, is that we should strive to help our loved ones avoid diabetes as well. Good stuff Sal!
