Here is an important wake-up call for your life and lives of people you most care about.

If you want to avoid life damaging effects of diabetes, take 3 minutes to read remainder of this article right now.

The new buzz in medical community calls it- "Pre-Diabetes". Today, roughly 41 million Americans have pre-diabetes which left undetected and untreated, progresses into full-blown diabetes.

The challenge with pre-diabetes is fact that condition doesn't like to reveal itself with noticeable symptoms. Because there are few, if any symptoms, most people will not bother having screening tests performed. With pre-diabetes, noticeable symptoms like frequent thirst and urination may not occur until disease has progressed and is already causing considerable damage to your body. Most Type 2 diabetics don't have symptoms because onset of diabetes is so slow.

I can't understand why anyone who has diabetes wouldn't exercise and watch what they eat.

The down side is that you may have to get an entire new wardrobe since exercise and healthy eating causes weight and size reduction.

When it happens, people tell you how great you look and that motivates you even more.

Other side effects: you'll also sleep better and feel more rested than before you started walking and eating better.

I prefer walking outside, especially when weather is nice. I even designed a walking path about 2.5 miles long around my neighborhood; part flat and part hilly.

You'll find that a walking program helps more than your body.
