When we eat, our bodies break down proteins, carbohydrates and fats we consume to be used as building blocks of our body. Carbohydrates, as found in bread, pasta, rice, potatoes and cereals first digested and converted into simple sugars in the intestine and then pass from the intestine into the blood. These simple sugars are the first choice for our body to produce energy.
Glucose, a form of simple sugars that the basic fuel that uses the body toEnergy. So that our bodies, but should take advantage of this sugar through the cell membrane, where it can be used for food to be transported, and our fuel cells. Insulin, a hormone that stimulates the pancreas, including pancreatic islets, which are distributed in the pancreas, the cells of our body to absorb sugar, and remove it out of the bloodstream.
When our body can not utilize glucose, which is diagnosed, the blood continues to be, asDiabetes. Diabetes is a disease that the mechanism by which the monitoring changes in blood sugar. The accumulation of sugar in the blood, characterized by diabetes, can cause the cells of our body can be starved of glucose and, if not controlled, causing damage to the eyes, kidneys, nerves and heart.
There are two types of diabetes: insulin-dependent or type 1 diabetes and non-insulin-dependent diabetes or type 2. Type 1 diabetes, often small orChildhood diabetes. Here, the pancreas does not produce the insulin the body needs glucose-process. For people with type 1 diabetes, whereas natural therapies can help the body requires more sensitive to insulin, which regularly inject insulin to stay healthy.
On the other hand, people with type 2 diabetes produce or adult, their bodies contain different amounts of insulin, but not often, it reduces the ability of our cells to absorb sugar. DuringThere are "classic" warning signs often associated with diabetes, for example, excessive thirst, excessive hunger, frequent urination, fatigue and unexplained weight loss, many people with type 2 diabetes have no symptoms. People who are exposed to a higher risk are those who are older than 40 years, are overweight, have a family history of diabetes, diabetes during pregnancy had high blood pressure or high blood fats, which stress, illness or accident, is a membera high risk ethnic group, like African-Americans, Hispanics, American Indians and Asians. For these people, natural therapies tend to work well.
