About diabetes

Labels: , , Posted by Vina Revi on Tuesday, June 26, 2007 at 10:31 AM


What is diabetes? When your body does not make or produce enough insulin, you
got diabetes. Insulin helps the body to use sugar as a source of energy.
There two types of diabetes:

  • Type 1: when the body does not make an insulin hormone


  • Type 2: when the body do not have enough insulin or their cells ignore the
    insulin they have

Most of the diabetes patients (almost 95%) have type 2 diabetes. There are
many factors affecting the probability of suffering from diabetes: weight, age,
family history, ethnic background, exercise, diet, and gestational period.
The risk of developing type 2 diabetes increases with the number of risk factors
you have. If you have 2 or more risk factors, talk to your doctor about how to
delay or prevent type 2 diabetes.
