As the number of people diagnosed with diabetes continues to grow,
illegally sold products promising to prevent, treat, and even cure
diabetes are flooding the marketplace. The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) is advising consumers not to use such products.
They may contain harmful ingredients or may be otherwise unsafe, or may
improperly be marketed as over-the-counter (OTC) products when they
should be marketed as prescription products. They carry an additional
risk if they cause consumers to delay or discontinue effective
treatments for diabetes. Without proper disease management, people with
diabetes are at a greater risk for developing serious health
complications. Watch FDA's new video and learn more to protect yourself.
