In an interview with GetQoralHealth , Rosa María Aguilar , member of the Scientific Committee of the National Mexican Association of Diabetes Educators (ANMED) points out that self-control and self-monitoring are key to live well.

"The diabetes mellitus type 2 , is the one that increasingly gains ground; affects both children and adults, especially in a productive stage between 20 to 65 years of age and unfortunately the detection is very slow; it takes more than 5 years to be detected. "

In this regard, Aguilar Tlapale points out that the basis is prevention, since those who do not have a public health service allocate more than 5,000 pesos a month.

According to the ANMED expert, the type of food that a person with diabetes It is what all people should have.
