"The beauty of the Glycemic Index is its lifestyle approach to nutrition," said Wayne Becker of GlycemicEdge.com. "It's popular among diabetics, but is also effective in reducing risk of heart disease, encourages weight loss, and leads to an increase in energy while moderating blood sugar & insulin levels."

With over 21 million Americans diagnosed with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, it's one of the nations fastest growing and deadliest diseases. With teenage and young adult obesity on the rise, early warning factors for diabetes and pre-diabetics are particularly important. A common symptom and risk factor associated with diabetes is obesity.

Perhaps the most alarming statistic involving diabetes is the number of pre-diabetics. According to the American Diabetes Association, in addition to the 21 million known cases there are 54 million more Americans at risk of becoming diabetic.

Diabetics have difficulty maintaining normal blood glucose levels - which is a key component in evaluating food choices within the Glycemic Index Diet (http://www.glycemicedge.com)

Glycemic Edge is an information, research, and knowledge sharing site focused on nutrition plans related to the Glycemic Index.
