Press Release Summary: Online Community Provides Information on the Different Types,
Symptoms, Risk Factors, Diagnosis and Management for Diabetes
Press Release Body: Denver, CO – May 5, 2008 – Disaboom, the leading online
community designed for people with disabilities and their friends, family and
caregivers, today announced the expansion of its diabetes resource center. The
newly expanded online resource provides information and an online community on the
different types of diabetes, the symptoms, risk factors, diagnosis and management
techniques.
More than 4,100 new cases of diabetes are diagnosed each day, making it the fifth
deadliest disease in the country, according to the American Diabetes Association.
Diabetes is associated with an increased risk for a number of serious, sometimes
life-threatening, complications including heart disease, stroke, high blood
pressure, blindness and nervous system diseases. Proper diabetes management can
greatly reduce the risk of complications. Disaboom’s diabetes resource center
offers a comprehensive section where people can get the latest information on
diabetes and to talk with others who understand the disease.
“Diabetes often leads to many health problems, but by taking the proper initiative
many complications can be avoided,” said Dr. Glen House, founder of Disaboom.
“Knowing and recognizing the symptoms and warning signs of diabetes and
pre-diabetes is crucial for patients, families and caregivers.”
In addition to finding information about diabetes, visitors to www.disaboom.com’s
newly expanded diabetes information resource section will find a social platform where diabetics
and their friends, family and caregivers can interact with one another to share
information, offer support or chat online.
Launched in 2007, Disaboom is dedicated to improving the quality of life for people
touched by disabilities. To visit Disaboom’s comprehensive diabetes resource
section, visit www.disaboom.com.
