Diabetes is the bodys inability to use insulin appropriately, according to the American Diabetes Association
In the US, 208 million people–or 7 percent of the population–have diabetes The cause is still a mystery but environmental factors such as obesity and lack of exercise as well as genetic factors play a part Diabetes is not caused by eating too much sugar It is a myth that may have developed from the fact that in the past people with diabetes were not allowed to have any sugar in their diets, which is no longer an acceptable practice by professionals All foods in moderation may be taken into account when planning the diet Emphasis should be placed on an increase in vegetables, low-fat dairy products, whole grains, and lean meats in proportionate amounts People with diabetes may have to take one or more medications, including insulin Type 1 diabetes is caused by an autoimmune disorder in which specialized cells called beta cells are destroyed leading to diabetes symptoms In a nondiabetic, beta cells in the pancreas make insulin–a hormone that allows the body to use energy glucose from food While there currently isnt a cure for type 1 diabetes, there are several new

What is diabetes?
Diabetes is a disease that occurs when your body cannot use sugar glucose properly It is not that you have too much sugar, but rather that your body cannot use the sugar that you take in Instead of being used properly by the cells in your body, the sugar remains in your bloodstream A hormone called insulin, which is naturally produced by the pancreas in a healthy body, plays a critical role in the bodys ability to use sugar The pancreas releases insulin into the bloodstream, which carries it throughout the body Once insulin arrives where it needs to go, it acts as a gatekeeper, allowing sugar to enter the cells and provide the fuel they need to function When a person has diabetes, there are problems with this process

What are the three types of diabetes?
Type 1 Diabetes: Type 1 diabetes Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus, IDDM, or juvenile diabetes usually starts during childhood or adolescence, and accounts for approximately 5 - 10 of all cases of diabetes Because insulin production is virtually nonexistent, insulin injections are usually required Specific risk
