WESTERVILLE, OH - November 29, 2006 - More than 20 million people
in the United States suffer from some type of diabetes. This
disease can strike both the young and old. Once a person has been
diagnosed with diabetes, they face a life-long challenge that
will affect their diet as well as their everyday lifestyle.
That's why author Christina A. Staccia, MA, CRC reveals her
challenges with diabetes and how she overcame them in her new
book "Diabetes Living: The Will to be Well." Staccia is one of
the longest-living infantile onset diabetics. In her book, she
reveals how she successfully reversed the complications of
diabetes.
"Readers of my book will learn how childhood lifestyle practices
helped me to delay and reverse complications while medicine was
advancing. The continuation of these methods with modern
medicine keeps me healthy," states Staccia.
While the world awaits a cure for diabetes, diabetics have
limited choices in how they can cope with and treat the disease.
With younger patients, the parents often face as many or more
challenges than the child. Caregivers of elderly diabetics also
have many concerns about how they can safely help with treatment.
With Staccia's book, diabetic patients and their caregivers can
overcome these challenges and make choices based on the
experiences of a near 50-year survivor.
Staccia provides a wealth of helpful information about diabetes
and how she learned to cope with it. With a little humor and
much care, she provides many practical methods that diabetics can
apply to their day-to-day lives to help them control and cope
with diabetes.
"It's not only the disease itself one must consider, but the
possibility of other major health conditions such as blindness,
kidney disease, or nerve disease. For diabetics to overcome the
disease and its complications, they must first be equipped with
the 'Will to be Well,'" says Staccia.
Studies show that for well-controlled patients, the risk of
diabetic eye disease decreases by 76 percent; kidney disease
risks are decreased by 54 percent, and the risk of nerve disease
by 60 percent. With these astounding numbers, there appears to
be much hope for those who have been diagnosed with diabetes.
Staccia shares how she was able to attain tight control and
benefit from these reduced risks.
In "Diabetes Living," readers can learn from one who has already
been through the challenges, heartaches and lifestyle adjustments
that diabetes brings. The author's goal is to help other
diabetics avoid unnecessary complications and improve their well-
being for the future.
