Facts about DiabetesFacts about diabetes: Diabetes is a disease where high levels of sugar exist in the blood. That doesn’t sound too bad but it can lead to so many other unhealthy issues. Insulin is the hormone produced by the pancreas to control blood sugar levels. Type 2 diabetes (also known as mellutis or adult onset) which we talk about here accounts for about 90% of all cases of diabetes and usually occurs in adulthood. The pancreas does not make enough insulin to keep blood glucose levels normal, often because the body does not respond well to the insulin that is produced. About 17 million people in the U.S. suffer from diabetes. So how do you know if you are one of those people? Take the pre diabetes symptoms quiz. There has been a missing piece in the puzzle of diabetes care, and the world continues to see metabolic syndrome, pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes, diabetic complications and death rates exponentially rising. If you are like most diabetics, or if you're at risk of developing diabetes, every day is a fight for your healthy lifestyle. Go to Alternative Treatment for Diabetes |
