Diabetes

Hello guys, I feel the compulsion to write about this killer disease because I feel it is the singular most ignored disease I know.

Also, it became personal when someone close to me developed a type 2 Diabetes.

I feel a mass sensitization should be set up for the dangers of diabetes because most people that are insulin deficient don't even know they are.

If they are aware of their condition, a preventive measure would be set. Personal discipline would be possible because it's really not easy closing your eyes to all the desserts, pastries, sodas being produced today by chefs including me.

What is Diabetes and how can it be controlled?

Diabetes is a set of dangerous complications that results from high concentration (presence) of glucose (sugar) in the blood that cannot be converted or used due to "no or not enough" production of Insulin by the Pancreas.

I would love to continue on the types and forms however, this information can be easily gotten even the dangers are well pronounced;



* Diabetes can affect almost every organ in your body.. the eye, ear, kidney, heart etc. Just name it. Even your body Soldiers and wound clot is almost reduced to zero. It's a killer!!

Treatments known.

Since 90% of diabetes patients are type2 (These are the people that, though produces insulin, however not enough for the body to use), the common treatments are:

* Good diet

* Exercise

* Insulin injection

* Medications

It has been noted that just following this plan, any major damage or complications can be avoided.

In the developed countries, a list of foods can be given and followed easily.

However, in the 3rd world countries, countries that survive on less than $10 a day, Many things could go wrong. To feed is an issue not to talk of to maintain a diet and most foods especially Nigerian major foods are carbohydrates that still end up producing glucose in the body.

So what are the diet you can easily get and afford that will keep that sugar level down to almost zero and give you a good life?
