From your head to your toes, diabetes can affect many aspects of your health. This common condition may even harm your ability to think and process information.

Adults aren't the only ones affected by diabetes. Many children are living with the condition as well. A recent study on kids in Philadelphia showed that diabetes rates have risen even among very young children.

Having denser bones typically means having stronger bones. However, diabetes patients have a higher risk of fracture even though they have higher bone density. Could blood sugar control influence this risk?

For many diabetes patients, diet and exercise alone isn't enough to control blood sugar levels. These patients need medications. And they may need more options. A new diabetes medication is at the start of the approval process.
