New Website Features a Health Blog to answer Diabetes related questions by Registered Nurses, Physician Assistants or Doctors.
Diabetes is one of the leading causes of death and disability in the United States. Total health care and related costs for the treatment of diabetes run about $132 billion annually. It is estimated that about 2.5 million or 9.5 percent of Latinos aged 20 years or older have been diagnosed with diabetes . The disease has become a growing epidemic for Latinos, but recent studies show that type 2 diabetes can be delayed or prevented. To spread the good news, the Latino Diabetes Association (LDA) launched its new website LDA.org. This new site is designed to help Latinos, at-risk of developing type 2 diabetes, take the small steps necessary to ward off this devastating disease.
The new website features a Health Blog, where people could ask diabetes related questions and have them answered by an LDA registered nurse, physician assistant or doctor. "The intent is to provide people with access to diabetes related information to help them prevent or delay the disease" said Heberto M. Sanchez, Founder and CEO.
The LDA web site provides a friendly and easy-to-use online environment to learn about diabetes. In the coming months, additional pages will be added to provide more educational health information and enhance visitors’ online experience.
