| You know how overwhelming being diagnosed with Diabetes Type II can be. It can turn your life upside down, requiring significant changes in your diet, activity levels and lifestyle. The important point to remember is that you can continue to lead an active, healthy and normal life… with the right care and assistance. |
| |
| So, what exactly is diabetes? |
|
|
It's a condition where your body does not produce or properly use insulin - the hormone that helps convert starches, sugar and other food into the energy you need to live. Among the early warning signs? Fatigue, weight loss, itching, delayed healing of wounds and an increase in urination, thirst and hunger. If untreated, diabetes can damage your eyesight, kidneys and nerves. The two main forms are:
|
| |
| Diabetes Type I: |
| Here, the body produces very little or no insulin. This causes glucose to remain in your blood, raising your blood sugar levels. Treatment calls for insulin to be administered from external sources. |
| |
| Diabetes Type II: |
| This is a condition in which the body produces enough insulin but fails to use it properly. Also called insulin resistance, it's especially prevalent among people who enjoy an affluent lifestyle and develops over time due to incorrect eating habits and lack of exercise. Treatment includes medicines and insulin injections, in the later stages, to lower blood sugar levels. |
