I suggest you check out this website for more information:

diabetes.org.

That is the website of the American Diabetes Association, which is a goldmine of information.

Some people are born predisposed to develop diabetes. There is no question that it can be genetic. Others develop it due to poor lifestyle (poor diet, weight gain, little or no exercise). Pregnancy can cause diabetes. Also, traumatic injury or illness can cause it (that's what happened to me, I'm type 1 and use a pump).

There are 3 types of diabetes...type 1 (insulin dependent), type 2 (non-insulin dependent...at least at first but may end up on insulin...can usually manage with diet, exercise and oral medications) and gestational diabetes (caused by pregnancy and usually goes away after the birth of the baby).

Diabetes...no matter how or why a person got it and what type they have is a serious, life threatening illness that requires strict vigilance over diet, exercise and medication therapy.

There are millions of people in the US who have diabetes. There are millions more that have it and don't know it. Roughly 10-15% of all diabetics are type 1 (insulin dependent). The vast majority are type 2. As for gestational diabetes, while birth usually makes it go away, women who have it during pregnancy are MUCH more likely to develop type 2 later in life.

I hope this helps you out. I will say this...eating too much sugar does NOT cause diabetes. Poor diet is ONE factor...and can possibly lead to it.

I was in a car crash and suffered severe abdominal injuries. I use an insulin pump.

Answer 4

Some diabetes is caused by a problem with the Pancreas, which contains cells that normally produce insulin. This can be genetic, so that you're born without the ability (or very little ability) to make insulin.

Other forms of the disease seem to be caused by problems with the 'endocrine' system (hormones), so that the pancreas doesn't get the right signals to tell it how much to produce.

The details still aren't fully understood, so there are different theories. For example, diabetes often develops later in life, usually in people who are fat. One theory is that they can avoid the disease by not becoming fat. Another theory is that the causes of the disease are happening at the same time as the increase in general obesity, and that the people most at risk are becoming fat for other, linked, lifestyle reasons.

It's also possible that the people who are 'becoming' diabetic, have always been less able to control their insulin production. This would not cause any problems while their health is generally good, but as they age and become fat, insulin control becomes more important and the problem starts to show.

Answer 5

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Answer 6

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/rRaPg

A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.

Answer 7

Diabetes mellitus, often simply diabetes (IPA pronunciation: [daɪəˈbiːtiːz] or often [ˌdaɪəˈbiːtəs]), is a syndrome characterized by disordered metabolism and inappropriately high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) resulting from either low levels of the hormone insulin or from abnormal resistance to insulin's effects coupled with inadequate levels of insulin secretion to compensate.

The World Health Organization recognizes three main forms of diabetes mellitus: type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes (occurring during pregnancy), which have similar signs, symptoms, and consequences, but different causes and population distributions. Ultimately, all forms are due to the beta cells of the pancreas being unable to produce sufficient insulin to prevent hyperglycemia.Type 1 diabetes is usually due to autoimmune destruction of the pancreatic beta cells, which produce insulin. Type 2 diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance in target tissues, but some impairment of beta cell function is necessary for its development. Gestational diabetes is similar to type 2 diabetes, in that it involves insulin resistance; the hormones of pregnancy can cause insulin resistance in women genetically predisposed to developing this condition.

Gestational diabetes typically resolves with delivery of the child, however types 1 and 2 diabetes are chronic conditions. All types have been treatable since insulin became medically available in 1921.

Adequate treatment of diabetes, as well as increased emphasis on blood pressure control and lifestyle factors (such as not smoking and keeping a healthy body weight), may improve the risk profile of most aforementioned complications. In the developed world, diabetes is the most significant cause of adult blindness in the non-elderly, the leading cause of non-traumatic amputation in adults, and diabetic nephropathy is the main illness requiring renal dialysis.

Answer 8

Not too much sugar nor too little, it can be herediarty but its part failure of the pancreas not producing enough or any insulin. Therefore glucose builds up in the bloodstream causing high sugar levels, this is why Type 1 Diabetics have to take insulin injections to lower the sugar in the body, if we have no insulin we then have a build up of fats causing ketones, these are very dangerous and can cause severe problems including coma or death if not treated.

Answer 9

Sometimes diabetes is a malfunction of the pancreas, it cant create enough insulin. The in balance of insulin creates a sugar problem in the blood, sometimes is to much sugar, sometimes is to little. And some people can have this or born already with this malfunction.
Other kind of diabetes can be provoke by person that eat to much unrefined carbohydrates (sugars, sweets, floury products, junk food), making their pancreas to overwork, and when the pancreas overwork to much, he can get damage and then you can get a diabetes. The pancreas can process some amount of sugar every day, but if we overload it day by day, then a problems begin.
It also can be a tendency to have it if you have a family history of it.
But the best way to avoid it, is eating a healthy diet, rich in fibre and low in refined products.
Have a nice day and hope I help u a little!

In most cases, erectile dysfunction is caused by something physical. Sometimes it's caused by psycological problems. The brain plays a key role in triggering the series of physical events that cause an erection, starting with feelings of sexual excitement.You can learn more about this problem and about natural remedies here http://erectiledysfunction.toptips.org.
