The Diabetes Store, the first of its kind opened recently in BF Homes in Paranaque City, the store is to service people with diabetes and also share information to everyone the cause of it and how to avoid it.
Its really hard to find a store that sells all kinds of goods that are for the diabetic. All I know is that food intake with sugar should be avoided, because too much is bad and if you have diabetes, you will have a high risk of getting health complications and then death. But there are some food that are available that uses alternative to sugar, these food are non-sugar, some uses stevia plant to add sweet flavor. But these food are so rare and hard to find.

2. Increasing physical activity
