What is Diabetes?

Diabetes is a disease marked by unrestrained urination. Diabetes mellitus is stimulated by lack of insulin production or insufficient reaction to insulin, causing hyperglycemia "high blood glucose levels". There are two primary kinds of diabetes mellitus, type 1 insulin-dependent or juvenile-onset, which may be characterized by an auto immune reaction, and type 2 non-insulin-dependent or adult-onset or Diabetes insipidus which is commonly due to hormonal imbalance.

Diabetes is a disorder in which the body cannot change foods right away into the energy needed for everyday routines. Diabetes inclines to get passed on genetically but components other than heredity are liable as well. There are 2 main kinds of diabetes. Type 1, or insulin-dependent, is the more grave of the two. Type 2, or adult onset, is the more usual kind and is responsible for more than eighty-five percent of all diabetic cases. Diabetes cannot be cured, but it can be controlled. Control necessitates cautiously modulating one's diet, regular exercise, and, if needed, insulin.

Insulin

Insulin has two critical roles in the body that we cannot live without, yet it can be the root of many health problems, including diabetes. Insulin carries sugar (glucose), fat and protein into your cells where they are used for energy and the repair of your cells. When you eat, a certain amount of the food will be converted into glucose and enter the bloodstream. As the sugar levels rise, the body senses it and the pancreas secretes insulin to lower the sugar. This is insulin's second main function.

If you eat too much of any food, especially carbohydrates (starch and sugar) the levels of glucose in the blood rise to very high levels. In turn this triggers a large release of insulin from the pancreas. Your cells will take what they need and then insulin will begin the process of converting the excess glucose, fat and protein into fat and then put it all away in your fat cells. By combining foods the right way for your body, you will maintain optimum levels of insulin throughout the day.
