Posts Tagged ‘pre diabetes’ It is not something new; you
probably already know that when your body is not able to produce
or utilise insulin, diabetes results. Insulin helps your food
become energy in your cells. Thus, not only will your cells be
low on energy, the energy source, that is, glucose will
accumulate in your blood. This high level of glucose will cause
damage to your major organs including eyes, heart and kidney.
The American Diabetes Association says that 6.3% of the American
population are diabetics. Now, that is a staggering number.While
Type I is more common among children, Type II is common among
adults. However, even children are developing Type II diabetes
because of being obese. What types are there? There is the Type
I, in which there is total insulin lack and mostly children have
this type. The other is Type II, in which there is not enough
insulin production or proper insulin usage. This is more common
and most often develops in adults.
