Short Reviews Of Diabetes And Diet

Diabetes has been around for centuries. Currently there are sixteen million diabetics in America, but eight million do not know that they have the disease. Today, diabetes ranked third as a cause of death, behind heart disease and cancer.

Diabetes caused by an interruption in the production of insulin in the body. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas when blood sugar levels, glucose, increases - after a meal, the most common. With the help of insulin to move glucose from the blood into the cells. Cellular components convert glucose into energy. When glucose does not enter cells, it remains in the blood and filtered by the kidney and then remove from the bloodstream.

Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when insulin in the body is not working properly. The main symptoms of diabetes include excessive thirst, excessive urination, excessive appetite, fatigue, blurred vision, frequent and slow-healing infections including bladder, vagina and skin. In men, diabetes may be accompanied by symptoms such as erectile dysfunction.

In order to identify timely diabetes, everyone should be familiar with various types of diabetes and the symptoms of diabetes.

Type 1 diabetes is a life threatening condition that is less common. Those who suffer from diabetes and need to be a complete substitute for insulin because the body does not make adequate amounts of this important hormone.

The most common type of diabetes is type 2 diabetes, or non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, if all cases of diabetes in the United States are diagnosed as Type 2.

There is also Gestational diabetes, which occurs during pregnancy because of changes in certain hormones in the body of pregnant women.

Diabetes is often accompanied by obesity and high cholesterol and is a disease that often runs in families, so if one of your family members have it, you have a higher risk of diabetes also affected. The lack of activity, a diet rich in fat and processed products and obesity significantly increases the risk for diabetes.

Diabetes can be prevented and controlled by changing your diet. When we consume products rich in sugar, the pancreas began to produce more insulin to convert sugar into energy. Saturated fats altered by the liver into sugar, which trigger the same response pancreas - more insulin, more energy.

When the body does not use this energy, store it as fat in the liver, the stomach and hips. The more sugar and fat we eat, the more "storage space" requires our bodies.

However, when you switch to eating vegetables, whole grains and fiber-rich products cooked or seasoned with olive or grape seed oil, the pancreas does not need to produce extra insulin. As a result, fat is not stored in the body and blood sugar levels remain stable. By avoiding sweet foods rich in fat, blood sugar levels remains balanced which can delay the incidence of diabetes and for those who have been diagnosed as having diabetes can help them manage the situation.
