Mayo Clinic Partners with Gaiam to Produce Diabetes DVD

Gaiam and the Mayo Clinic have teamed up to produce and market a series of wellness solutions DVDs including one for Type Two Diabetes.

The link above has a trailer of the DVD so you can get an idea of what the $20 DVD has to offer. It is NOT a documentary on diabetes; nor is it about avoiding the disease altogether. The main idea of the video is to offer tips on managing Type Two Diabetes so you can avoid some of the more serious problems like kidney damage, vision loss and nerve damage.

Most of the content is common sense like “eat a healthy diet” and “learn all you can about the disease” but there are also some more in-depth advice that teaches you how to do things like examine your feet for sores or blisters.

For many of Americans it is simply too late to avoid getting Type Two Diabetes but we can all continue to learn every day about ways to live with, manage and treat the disease so we don’t end up with a severely diminished quality of life as a result.
