Do you struggle with diabetes? Have you tried to diet but have found it difficult to stick to your healthy eating plan? If you do, then this is the cookbook for you!
Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce enough insulin or does not use the insulin it produces effectively. Insulin is a hormone that helps the body use glucose for energy. When you have diabetes, your blood sugar remains elevated for too long after a meal. This condition usually results in fatigue, poor circulation and vision problems.
There are two types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2. The differences between the two are in how they are diagnosed and managed. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease triggered by an attack on the pancreatic beta cells of the pancreas. In type 2 diabetes, the body's inability to use insulin effectively occurs because of increased resistance to insulin or because the beta cells that produce insulin slowly die off.
There are several possible complications of diabetes, including nerve damage, kidney problems and heart disease. It's important to understand what diabetes is and how it affects your body so you can better manage it.
Diabetes has no cure but there is help available. The American Diabetes Association says that proper diet and exercise can slow the progression of diabetic eye disease, control high blood sugar levels in children with diabetes, and delay or prevent amputations as well as complications such as heart disease and nerve and kidney disease.
A diabetic diet should include plenty of fiber, which will keep your digestion regular. Fiber also absorbs water in your body and helps remove wastes from your system. It is important that a diabetic diet includes cold cuts, frozen yogurt, fruit, and nuts as these are low-sugar foods. These foods help control your blood sugar levels.
