Description:

The World Health Organization statistics have estimated 246 million people worldwide to be affected by diabetes. The incidence rates are at a further 7 million developing diabetes each year resulting in 389 million diabetics by 2025. Currently, it is the seventh leading cause of death and the leading cause of new blindness and kidney failure. Patients and health care providers are not equipped to deal with the complexities of a disease that is rapidly challenging the health care system in North America and pushing it beyond its limits. In such a climate how does a patient make informed choices regarding the plethora of management tools that are offered, as well as successfully regulating blood glucose? Najla Guthrie and David Crowley will examine alternative methods to manage this disease.

Judi Quilici Timmcke will provide an overview of the various nutrients that have science to support blood sugar levels. Formulation ideas, label suggestions, issues on regulatory claims and products that support diabetics’ overall health will also be reviewed.
