The top 3 causes of death in Trinidad & Tobago are heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. This article will delve a little deeper into diabetes- what it is, what causes it, types of diabetes, treatments, preventative measures one can take to reduce the risk of obtaining this non-communicable disease, and ways to better manage your diabetes if already diagnosed.  I'm almost certain that each of us reading this knows someone with diabetes.

Our health is our wealth and it is our responsibility to do our best to take care of it.
