People across the country, especially in San Antonio, are dying from a disease they don't know they have until it's too late.
It all starts with diabetes and obesity and evolves from there.
"One half of San Antonio is either pre-diabetic or diabetic, and then you have the obesity. It's almost endemic," said Dr. Sherwyn Schwartz, the longtime senior endocrinologist for the Evolution Research Group.
