The definition of diabetes:-
Know diabetes that imbalance in the metabolism of sugar, which
leads to high blood sugar (glucose) in the blood is abnormally for various
reasons might be psychic, or membership of, or due to excessive intake of
sugars, or due to hereditary factors. It occurs as a result of defective
insulin secretion from the pancreas. It may be the amount of insulin secretion
is less than required, or there is a deadlock on the production of these.

of insulin secretion is less than required, or there is a deadlock on the

a large detachment, in some cases, as individuals living with obesity, but there
is resistance from the tissues and cells in the body to impede the function of
insulin and this situation are called (insulin resistance).
In both cases the
glucose is unable to enter the cells, leading to its accumulation in the blood
and the possibility they endorsed him in the urine. Over time and with
increased accumulation of sugar in the blood rather than entering cells of the body may lead to chronic complications on certain body parts as tiny blood
vessels in the retina, kidney, vesicles and those that feed nerve.
To follow the
diabetic to help a doctor and keen to attend therapy and change daily life
style on healthy nutrition and an increase in sporting activities that will
improve their health and live happier. But diabetics may be luckier than others
because he has a strong motivation to do some health-promoting changes in his
lifestyle.

These include bacterial infections, fungal infections, and itching. Other skin
problems happen mostly or only to people with diabetes. These include diabetic
dermopathy, necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum, diabetic blisters, and eruptive
xanthomatosis.
Diabetes-Related Skin Conditions:-
• Acanthosis Nigricans
• Diabetic Dermopathy
• Allergic Reactions
• Eruptive Xanthomatosis
• Digital Sclerosis
• Disseminated Granuloma Annulare
Eye Complications:-
You may have heard that
diabetes causes eye problems and may lead to blindness. People with diabetes do
have a higher risk of blindness than people without diabetes. But most people
who have diabetes have nothing more than minor eye disorders.

have some form of nerve damage. It is more common in those who have had the
disease for a number of years and can lead to many kinds of problems.
If you keep your blood
glucose levels on target, you may help prevent or delay nerve damage. If you
already have nerve damage, this will help prevent or delay further damage.
There are also other treatments that can help.

Tips for Diabetics:
In a Pinch, Eat Diabetes
Bars and Shakes as Meal Replacements:
Bars or shakes made
specifically for people with diabetes can help you control blood sugar levels
when you're on the go, says dietitian Constance Brown-Riggs. "When used as
a meal replacement or snack, they can take the guesswork out of carbohydrate
counting," she says.
Toss them in your purse,
suitcase, or desk drawer so you'll always have a suitable choice when you're
stuck in traffic or can't break for lunch. But if you fall into the trap of
eating them in addition to your usual meals or snacks, both your weight and
your blood sugar levels may climb. You have to swap them for other foods, or
your calorie and carb intake will likely be too high.
Enjoy Cinnamon as a
Natural Flavor Booster (But It Might Not Lower Blood Sugar):
A 2003 study in Diabetes
Care suggested that cinnamon may lower blood glucose, triglyceride, and
cholesterol levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Other studies were not so
positive, however. When researchers combined the results of five studies with a
total of 282 subjects with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, they found no benefit
from cinnamon; their results were reported in a 2008 issue of Diabetes Care.
However, you can still
enjoy this versatile, fragrant spice to delight your taste buds without extra
calories or sodium. Cinnamon brings out the natural sweetness of tomatoes in a
sauce and adds an interesting complexity to beef and poultry. Sprinkle it on
oatmeal, yogurt, and fruit to boost sweetness without adding sugar.
Talk to Your Doctor
About Drinking Alcohol:
Alcohol may lower blood
sugar, but it can do so erratically and therefore isn't considered a safe or an effective method of glucose control.
Alcohol interferes with
the liver's ability to raise blood glucose and can cause low blood glucose
(hypoglycemia). This is especially important to note if a person takes a blood
glucose-lowering medication that can cause hypoglycemia, such as a sulfonylurea
vs insulin. In fact, it's hard to predict just when alcohol might cause
hypoglycemia. Sometimes the effects can occur the following day. And when
alcohol is mixed with high-sugar drinks, such as sodas and juices, or eaten
with carb-containing foods, your blood sugar may initially rise but drop later.
However, most PHDs can
drink alcohol in moderation (up to one drink a day for women, up to two drinks
a day for men), depending on individual factors and diabetes management. And
research shows it doesn't matter what type of alcohol is consumed. Alcohol also
seems to serve as an anti-inflammatory, which is one reason moderate and
regular consumption has been studied for its heart-healthy benefits.
If you take a blood
glucose-lowering medication that can cause hypoglycemia or if you have high
triglycerides, talk to your health care provider about what's best for you.
Have a Cup of Green Tea:
Replacing sugary drinks
with green tea is a great way to cut calories, save carbs, and get a good dose
of disease-fighting polyphenols. But don't bank on it to lower your blood
sugar. A few studies suggest that green tea may help prevent type 2 diabetes
and improve insulin sensitivity, but the evidence isn't strong enough to make
firm recommendations.
Green tea extracts but
not the beverage in high doses have been associated with several cases of liver
toxicity, says Laura Shane-McWhorter, Pharmd., CDE, a professor at the
University of Utah College of Pharmacy and author of The American Diabetes
Association Guide to Herbs and Nutritional Supplements: What You Need to Know
from Aloe to Zinc (2009). Shane-McWhorter recommends people with diabetes use
supplements with caution.
Drink Water to Save
Calories and Stay Hydrated:
It's a smart idea to
drink plenty of calorie-free beverages, especially water, every day. This is
especially true when your blood sugar levels are elevated. Because high blood
sugar can cause excessive urination, drinking plenty of water helps prevent
dehydration, says dietitian Constance Brown-Riggs. It won't, however, lower
high blood sugar levels, she says
