Diabetes
Diabetes is a chronic health condition that — if not well controlled — can cause serious health problems, such as heart disease, vision loss, and kidney disease. In addition to medication, diabetes can be controlled though eating healthy and staying active. Joining a nutrition program can help older adults to engage in these activities.
