Do you have enough money to pay for 23 Years of Alzheimer’s Care?
My mom went in for surgery to have her left knee replaced in 2005 and the day after the surgery she fell in the hospital tearing all the knee ligaments in her knee. After 13 unsuccessful surgeries to try and repair the damage, she finally gave up her independence and accepted her new fait of being wheelchair bound for the rest of her life.

Waiting months or years after symptoms appear to discuss them with a doctor or seek treatment can be extraordinarily detrimental and cause you to miss out on opportunities to help stave off the disease and reduce the severity of those symptoms.

Diabetes May Cause the Brain to Shrink

Brain Size of Diabetics
Memory issues and other cognitive problems in diabetics were once thought to be the result of blood clots in the brain, but this theory is being overshadowed by a new one of great interest to researchers.
