Diabetes - What is it?
Free Diabetes Recipes
Diabetes is a condition in which the body either cannot produce insulin or cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. It is also known as high blood sugar.
It
is a disease in which the body does not properly control the amount
of sugar in the blood. As a result, the level of sugar in the blood
is too high. This disease occurs when the body does not produce enough
insulin or does not use it properly.
There are several forms of diabetes. It is a common
condition in which the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood is too
high because the body is unable to use it properly. Normally, a hormone
called insulin removes excess glucose from the blood.
A diabetic myth - diabetes is not caused by eating too much sugar. This myth probably began when people with diabetes were absolutely forbidden from consuming sugar. Researchers no longer believe this. You can still have all of your favorite sweets as long as they are scheduled in your eating plan.
There are no easy cures for most cases of diabetes. Some persons with diabetes can be cured by a transplant of insulin producing cells, but there are significant risks associated with the surgery and with the immunosuppression-type drugs that need to be taken.
But even if diabetes cannot usually be cured, it can be controlled. Control of diabetes means balancing the amounts of glucose and insulin in your blood. To achieve this balance, your diabetes nurse educator or doctor will prescribe a regimen of diet, exercise, and possibly insulin injections or oral medications. Sticking to your regimen helps keep you healthy and greatly reduces your likelihood of developing diabetes complications.
