Overview

Are you diabetic? Do you want to know more about the diet that can help control your diabetes? This book will provide you with some tips on how to eat if you're diabetic. Diabetes is a disorder of the endocrine system where the body becomes progressively less able to produce or respond appropriately to insulin, which is a hormone that controls glucose levels in the blood. The inability of certain cells in your body to respond appropriately to insulin causes large amounts of sugar, primarily glucose and galactose, to build up in your bloodstream and go directly into storage organs such as fat tissue and muscles causing high blood pressure that can lead develop complications such as cardiovascular disease or kidney failure. Diabetes is a serious medical condition that affects roughly 20 million Americans and kills approximately 30,000 people each year. As with any other chronic disease, nutrition plays an important role in the health of insulin-resistant patients. Unfortunately, diabetes is often poorly managed by the general population because many people who are diabetic are not receiving adequate nutrition as prescribed by their doctors and dietitians. This book covers: - What Is Diabetes? - Types Of Diabetes - The Importance Of Insulin - Foods Which Are Bad For Diabetes - How To Balance The Sugar Factor - Exercising And Physical Activity - How Diabetes Affect Women - Diabetes In Children & Teens - Diabetic Life Style - Myths Related With Diabetes - Breakfast Recipes - Lunch Recipes - Dinner Recipes - Dessert Recipes - Vegetarian Recipes - Soup Recipes - Snack & Appetizer Recipes And much more! A person with type 1 diabetes, or juvenile diabetes for children aged 8 years or under, must feed themselves through self-monitoring of blood glucose levels (finger stick testing), administration of insulin shots several times daily, and overall good management of their illness.
