Hi Jo Ann,
This is a great article, but a little too late for my father. He has type II Diabetes with End Stage Renal Disease(ESRD). He is receiving hemodialysis three times a week and has had a complicated medical history. Cardiovascular disease goes hand in hand with diabetes which is definitely under rated. I would like to see more education and attention given to the effects of Diabetes on the body. Thanks for providing information on adjunct therapy to this complex disease.
