Health
Diabetes occurs more frequently in women, but do you know if you are a diabetic? It is estimated that one-third of women with Type 2 diabetes don't know they have it. Phyllis Edgerly Ring urges women to take control of this disease. Take an awareness quiz, learn about the motherhood factor and check out a cookbook that has more than just recipes for those affected by diabetes.

Just ask our three lucky readers who were chosen for the first annual Long Island Woman makeovers. Elyce Neuhauser introduces us to these women, all at different stages in their lives, and takes us along for their day of head-to-toe beauty, complete with before and after photos.
