Millions more have pre-diabetes, meaning they have higher than normal blood sugar levels and can reduce their risks of developing diabetes through healthy lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise. More than 30 million people in the United States have diabetes, and one out of four don't know they have it, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Without proper disease management, people with diabetes are at a greater risk for developing serious health complications. Illegally marketed products carry an additional risk if they cause people to delay or discontinue effective treatments for diabetes. For example, they may contain harmful ingredients or may improperly be marketed as over-the-counter (OTC) products when they should be marketed as prescription products. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising consumers not to use such products-for many reasons.
