When you have diabetes:
Your body either does not produce enough insulin or it cannot use the insulin it does produce as well as it should. This causes glucose to build up in your blood. Most of the food we eat is turned into glucose (sugar) for our body to use for energy. The pancreas, an organ that lies near the stomach, makes a hormone called insulin to help glucose enter the cells of our bodies.
If it is not treated, diabetes can result in serious complications, including heart disease, blindness and kidney failure, loss of feeling to the hands and feet and lower extremity amputations. Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States.
Controlling Diabetes:
You can take many steps to control your diabetes. First, you need to know your blood sugar numbers. Next, you need to reach your blood sugar goal by making healthy lifestyle choices. Finally, you need to keep your blood glucose under control by creating a plan to stick to your self-care goals and manage setbacks. All this should be done under the guidance of a health-care provider.
