Causes of diabetes and programs that help individuals with diabetes

[Lindberg:]: How about what makes the disease? Why does somebody get ill? What are the ideas about that?
[Thompson:]: Well, I know with diabetes it has a lot to do with us not taking care of ourselves or just eating anything we want. Maybe it’s because of the food. Our traditional food, it actually has a lot of grease in it. I mean, it’s okay to eat it. But, you know, don’t eat it all the time. That’s one of the risks, you know, not staying healthy and working out. But lately, I’ve seen some programs that’s helping out.
