Approximately 14 million Americans have diabetes, although it's estimated that only half have been diagnosed. This serious health problem, if left untreated, can lead to heart and kidney diseases, amputation, blindness and other health problems.

Studies have proven that controlling blood sugar levels can reduce the long-term complications of diabetes. And effectively controlling blood sugar levels over the long term is what the Diabetes Treatment Center at North Penn Hospital is all about.
