November is American Diabetes Month. According to the Center for Disease Control, Diabetes is the largest and fastest growing chronic disease in the nation, claiming nearly 300,000 lives annually. In response, ‘Biggest Loser’ trainer Kim Lyons announced the release of a three-title DVD Series Start Fitness Now: Beating Type 2 Diabetes and an online support forum – produced and distributed by Watch it Now Entertainment.
“This is your day-to-day guidebook for motivation, understanding and the conviction to be responsible about your greatest asset – you health,” Lyons said. Type 2 Diabetes can be reduced as much as 57 percent through weight loss and physical activity. Lyons is a firm advocate of personal health and responsibility – urging diabetics to take charge now.
