Diabetes/Blood Sugar
23.6 million children and adults in the United States have Diabetes; while almost one quarter of this subgroup are unaware they even have the disease. There are two types of diabetes. Type l Diabetes is a largely unavoidable condition in which the pancreas cannot produce any insulin. Inversely, Type ll Diabetes is an avoidable condition in which the insulin that the body is able to produce is ineffective, which renders the body incapable of properly maintaining energy and blood sugar. Depressed insulin action and Diabetes leads to a variety of serious health conditions such as:
- Weight gain
- High-blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Cardiovascular disease
- Kidney disease
- Nerve damage
- Blindness
- Gastrointestinal problems
- Depression & Mood swings
- Compromised oral health and hygiene
- Foot complications
- Skin complications
While the statistics of Americans with full-blown Diabetes are high, there are also nearly 57 million people who are pre-diabetic. Research has shown that if these individuals take action to manage their blood glucose levels early on they can delay or prevent Type ll Diabetes from ever developing.
