Today I read an interesting article at Reuters.

While most people are aware when there is something wrong with them there are times when certain conditions strike with little or no warning and few if any signs or symptoms that there is a problem. One such medical condition is diabetes. In a large number of cases there are no visible or discernible signs or symptoms of diabetes. For this reason it is referred to by some as a silent killer.

One of the chief benefits of this diet for diabetics is that it’s good for just about anybody. There is even some evidence to suggest that such a diet can help to reduce the chances of getting diabetes in the first place.

The symptoms of diabetes type 2 can sometimes show up over a long period of time, slowly. Because of this, many people with this serious disease can have it for years and be unaware of it.
