Diabetes is a very devious disease that is chronic, meaning that it will last a lifetime. It affects the production of insulin in the body which is a hormone that is necessary to having a normal metabolism. Diabetes causes many health problems, such as blindness, kidney failure, stroke, limb amputation, premature death and heart disease.
Diabetes-the Facts
There is no cure for diabetes Diabetes can be managed Exercise and diet can prevent or delay diabetes
Since diabetes is a disease that is so horrible, affecting different body parts from eyes to limbs and very many in between, and since it can be prevented, everyone should do whatever they can to avoid developing this debilitating condition.
Although your family doctor will play a key role in your overall health when it comes to diabetes, it is imperative for the patient to become actively involved, to educate him/herself in order to inform the doctor of any changes.
Things to do:
Keeping a log of blood sugar levels; Meal planning; Exercise; Checking blood pressure; Eye check-ups; Foot care; Checking and trying to maintain normal levels of cholesterol and triglycerides Maintaining healthy weight (especially with type 2 diabetes) Taking medication (mostly insulin in type 1 diabetes) Reduce stress; Regular health checkups with different specialists as diabetes affects many different body organs
Do whatever you can, such as minor lifestyle changes to reduce your risk of developing this disease which is related to so many other illnesses by learning how to deal with diabetes. Change your life before diabetes changes it for you.

I have this thought that diabetes is a disease for rich people. Why? It’s too expensive to treat or rather manage this illness, especially for type 1 diabetes, where insulin is completely absent in their body. I have seen some cases of diabetes; people with this disease often have their debridement especially for those who have unhealed wounds. It is the management to avoid limb amputation. Although, I don’t have history of diabetes in my family, I still watch out for my sugar intake and sugar level.
Diabetes is a silent killer disease.

Thank you for posting this, I couldn’t agree with you more.
I have type 1 Diabetes and have changed my entire lifestyle this past year to make serious effort to keep my blood sugar in check.
Simple things like carrots, almonds, stevia, cinnamon, & eating a more macrobiotic diet has made such a huge difference. I don’t even have to monitor it as closely anymore.
