================== ARTICLE START ==================

Diabetes has been around for centuries. There are presently

sixteen millions diabetics in America, but eight million do not

know that they have the disease. Today, diabetes is in third

place as the cause of mortality, behind cardiovascular diseases

and cancer.

Diabetes is caused by a disruption in insulin production in the

body. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas when the

level of blood sugar, glucose, increases – after a meal, most

commonly. With the help of insulin, glucose moves from the

blood into the cells. The cellular components turn the glucose

into energy. When glucose does not enter cells, it stays in the

blood and is filtered by kidneys which later eliminate it from

the bloodstream.

Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when insulin in the

body does not work as it should. Main symptoms of diabetes

include excessive thirst, excessive urination, excessive

appetite, fatigue, blurred vision, frequent and slow-healing

infections including bladder, vaginal and skin. In men,

diabetes may be accompanied by such symptoms as erectile

dysfunction.

In order to timely recognize diabetes, everyone should be

familiar with the different types of diabetes as well as with

main symptoms of diabetes.

Type 1 diabetes is a life-threatening condition which is less

common. Those suffering with this type of diabetes need

complete insulin replacement because the body does not make

sufficient amounts of this essential hormone.

The most common type of diabetes is type 2 diabetes, or

non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. 90% of all diabetes

cases in the US are diagnosed as Type 2.

There is also gestational diabetes, which occurs during

pregnancy due to specific hormonal changes in the body of the

expectant mother.

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 has it, you have a higher risk of developing

diabetes too. Lack of activity, a diet rich in fats and

processed products and obesity significantly increase your risk

for diabetes.

Diabetes can be prevented and controlled by amending your diet.

When we eat a product that is rich in sugar, the pancreas starts

to produce more insulin to turn the sugar into energy. Saturated

fat is transformed by the liver into sugar, which triggers the

same response of pancreas – more insulin, more energy.

When the body doesn’t use this energy, it stores it as fat in

the liver, on the stomach and hips. The more sugar and fat we

eat, the more “storage space” our body requires.

However, when you switch to eating vegetables, cereals and

other fiber-rich products cooked or seasoned with olive or

grape seed oil, the pancreas does not need to produce any extra

insulin. As a result, fat is not deposited in the body and the

blood sugar levels remain stable. By avoiding sweet and

fat-rich foods, blood sugar levels remains balanced which can

delay the onset of diabetes and for those already diagnosed as

diabetic can help them manage the condition.
