Lions District 20W Diabetes Education & Awareness Resources
DIABETES is a global epidemic, affecting an increasing number of men, women, and children all over the world. As Lions and Leos, we see and feel the effects of diabetes in our communities and are doing something about it together.
In most high-income countries, diabetes is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease, blindness, kidney failure, and lower limb amputation. It is expected to affect 629 million adults by 2045.
Prediabetes is a serious health condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough yet to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. However, the good news is that if you have prediabetes, you make lifestyle changes to prevent or delay type 2 diabetes and other serious health problems.
