You may think it's simple as taking some medications and just forget about your diabetes. In fact, a vast number of people do not have their diabetes under good control and do not realize it is a problem. This is why diabetes is known as a *SILENT* disease - it does not cause any symptoms at beginning for most people. However, diabetes can cause irreversible damages over the years to the heart, eyes, kidneys, nerves, and blood vessels when you start noticing the symptoms later on.  This is why we emphasize controlling your diabetes as early as possible in order to preserve your health before it is too late.

Controlling diabetes for most people will take more than just visiting the doctor's office once or twice a year and taking medications. In reality, it is a *continuous learning process* that people need to go through towards their dietary choices and medication changes over the course of months, or even years. This is why Lulu does what she does.
