People living with diabetes are at risk for a number of complications, including loss of eyesight, nerve damage, heart disease, stroke and kidney disease.
The good news is these complications can be delayed or prevented through proper management. Learn more about managing the disease by attending the Dining with Diabetes series provided by the Purdue Extension office in Lawrence, Monroe and Owen counties.
