2. Introduction

3. Diabetes Myths
 The ADA seeks to teach the public about diabetes and dispel
misinformation about the disease. One common myth about
diabetes is that it is not a serious or life-threatening illness. In
fact, more people in the United States die annually from
diabetes and related complications than from breast cancer
and AIDS combined.
Another myth involves the diet of people with diabetes.
Depending on the severity of the illness, individuals with
diabetes should maintain a healthy diet with low levels of
trans fat, salt, and sugar.
Similarly, many people with diabetes can eat chocolate and
other sweets if they practice portion control and balance
treats with healthier foods. More diabetes information can be
