Struggle with Diabetes?

Diabetes is a scary word. It causes fear and anxiety in those who have to deal with it. Many sufferers struggle with diabetes because:

• They have a lack of understand of the condition.
• They are in denial
• They get misinformed about the condition by listening to the media, family, friends and sometimes healthcare practitioners who do not specialize in diabetes.
• They receive incomplete assistance and guidance. Make sure to work “on diet and exercise” is vague and not helpful.
• There is a significant decrease in the body’s energy production which leads to an unmotivated fatigue.
• They rely on medications and injection for disease control.

What is DIabetes?

CDC defines "Diabetes" as a disease in which blood glucose levels are above normal. Most of the food we eat is turned into glucose, or sugar, for our bodies to use for energy. The pancreas, an organ that lies near the stomach, makes a hormone called insulin to help glucose get into the cells of our bodies. When you have diabetes, your body either doesn't make enough insulin or can't use its own insulin as well as it should. This causes sugar to build up in your blood.

Diabetes mellitus

ADA defines "Diabetes mellitus" as a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both.”
