In the News--New comedy Black-ish star Anthony Anderson deals with diabetes

I haven’t watched this new show yet but I plan to check it out.  Star Anthony Anderson deals with diabetes in his personal life and in his character.  According to the news article I read, Mr. Anderson takes his diabetes seriously and has made healthy life changes:  he has lost weight (almost 50# over the past several years), he has began eating healthy and exercising.  He is adding bike riding, running on a treadmill to his lifestyle and adds basketball and golf into his busy schedule when he can. 

I applaude Anthony Anderson’s efforts to care for his health.  http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/entertainment/2014/09/check-out-blac-kish-star-anthony-andersons-47-pound-weight-loss/

March 24^th is American Diabetes Association Alert Day. Many people who have diabetes do not recognize it.  Do you know the symptoms of diabetes?  Do you know how to protect your health when you have diabetes?  I will be talking about type 2 diabetes for the next few weeks.
