Diabetes can lead to a number of other health complications that may result in the need for long-term disability benefits. If a severe medical condition is preventing you from working for a long period of time, you may qualify for disability benefits.
According to a report from the
Doctor's Lounge,
a new study puts a twist on the health community's effort to find ways to lower diabetes rates in the U.S. It suggests that losing weight may
not be the key factor, that instead
it may be a matter of just eating less.The results of this study were published in the
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, May 18 online edition and indicated making small changes in an individual's diet caused a substantial drop in the risk of diabetes. Even those who didn't lose any weight saw a decline in the risk.
Researchers came to the conclusion that lowering fat intake on a daily basis to about 27% could provide long-term benefits in reducing the risk of diabetes. These simple and manageable changes could make an important difference in someone's health.
If you have questions concerning your eligibility for disability benefits, you should consult with a
Palm Beach County long-term disability attorney. They can explain the process of applying for disability benefits and what to do if your claim is denied.
Long-term disability benefits may be available to those who have purchased a disability plan from a private insurer or have coverage through an employer. Unfortunately, the insurers don't make it easy for the disabled to get access to the benefits they deserve.
