Focus on Diabetes and Cancer
La diabetes es más riesgosa de lo que cree.
Comer de forma saludable y cuidarse es más importante que nunca. La Sociedad Americana Contra el Cáncer realizó una investigación que muestra que la diabetes tipo 2 se correlaciona con ciertos tipos de cáncer. Managing your health and getting screened for diabetes and cancer can help you avoid complications down the road. Learn more about the link between diabetes and cancer.
There are many factors that increase your risk of Type 2 diabetes and cancer, such as family history, age, and race. However, obesity, poor diet, and physical inactivity are some of the primary risk factors. La buena noticia es que estos comportamientos pueden controlarse.
