Take Control of Your Diabetes, One Meal at a Time.
Diabetes is a disease in which blood glucose, also called blood sugar, doesn't get properly regulated.
Glucose is the form of sugar that's used by all cells for energy.
In diabetes, the body either doesn't produce enough insulin or can't use the insulin that's produced.
This a type of disease that occurs when the pancreas can't produce enough insulin, a hormone that is used to help cells use glucose (sugar) for energy.
Diabetes symptoms include excessive thirst, frequent urination, hunger, blurred vision, unexplained weight loss, and sudden numbness or weakness of the arms or legs.
Diabetics also experienced excessive sweating, itching, and a dry mouth.
Diabetes is also a disease associated with blood sugar i.e., the concentration of sugar in the blood that the body is unable to maintain within normal limits.
Hyperglycemia occurs when blood glucose exceeds 100 mg./dl fastings or 140 mg/dl two hours after a meal.
This condition may depend on a defect in function or a deficit in the production of insulin, the hormone secreted by the pancreas, used for the metabolism of sugars and other components of food to be transformed into energy for the whole organism (such as petrol for the engine).
When blood glucose levels are twice equal to or greater than 126 mg./dl, diabetes is diagnosed.
High blood glucose levels-if not treated-over time, lead to chronic complications with damage to the kidneys, retina, nerves peripheral, and cardiovascular system (heart and arteries).
A large amount of blood sugar stays in your system when there is insufficient insulin or when cells don't react to insulin.
It can lead to major health issues like heart disease, eyesight loss, and renal illness over time.
Although there is no treatment for diabetes, decreasing weight, eating healthy foods, and being active can all help.
To prevent or manage diabetes, eat a tasty, well-balanced food intake that will keep your energy boosted and help you feel better about your lifestyle.
