(openPR) - When Koby was 3 ½ years old his parents received a shock from their doctor – their little boy had Type 1 Diabetes. They soon realized there are few places to turn to for comprehensive information and support regarding this disease. Koby’s parents worked through months of desperation before they were finally able to get his newly diagnosed disease managed with confidence.
According to the American Diabetes Association, there are over 20.8 million people in the United States, or 7% of the population, who have diabetes. An estimated 14.6 million have been diagnosed with Diabetes, yet unfortunately, 6.2 million people are unaware that they have the disease. Are you one of those 6.2 million Americans living with Diabetes unaware you have this disease?
Diabetes is the fifth leading killer in the United States. Many are living with this disease, but have trouble simply finding the support, information, and supplies they may need on a daily basis. It has been well established that with the proper medication, supplies and treatment, people with diabetes can delay or avoid diabetes complications; and can live happy healthy lives.
“We believe in education and support,” says Glenn Brosnick, Founder & CEO of Diabetic Plus. “The Diabetic who knows the most lives the longest and best.”
A new Diabetic website looks to offer comprehensive information regarding Diabetes, 24 hour support lines, and Diabetic supplies; which is no small task even in this world wide web of information we currently live in.
The number of companies that offer medical supplies to individuals on Medicare, Medicaid and those with HMO’s are few are very far between. With numerous states, including California, Massachusetts, Ohio and Texas, attempting to eliminate Medicaid coverage for many diabetes needs, a company who is willing to offer supplies to all (including those with no insurance coverage) is unique and should be hailed for their efforts in trying to make those living with the disease of Diabetes as happy and healthy as possible.
