 Actress Delta Burke has lived with Type 2 Diabetes for ten years. To help the tens of millions of Americans who suffer from diabetes, she has teamed up with the treatment BYETTA to help educate people with Type 2 Diabetes.
Type 2 Diabetes is becoming increasingly more common, with more than 20 million Americans living with the disease. Virginia Valentine, a certified diabetes educator, has helped people manage their diabetes for more than 20 years. She says, “Type 2 Diabetes is the type you typically see adults getting. It's related to having the family history, the genetic component, in addition to a lifestyle such as maybe gaining a few pounds or not exercising as much.”
The BYETTA Let's Talk Campaign is aimed towards helping diabetics be more educated, learn more about better food and portion levels and the options that are out there medically. There are new drugs on the market all the time that can help you. Talk to your doctor and ask about what might be right for you.
The Byetta Let’s Talk website has information on managing type 2 Diabetes as well as dates and cities where informal seminars will be held between April and August of 2007. For more information, visit The BYETTA Let’s Talk website.
