With the number of overweight and obese people, diabetes is a disease that many people struggle with. Here are some information about this disease, which can easily be avoided in most cases if you have a healthy lifestyle.

Signs and symptoms of diabetes include frequent urination, an unexpected weight loss, fatigue, skin infections, vaginal infections, blurred vision and numbness in the hands or feet.

There exist two types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2.

What is type 1 diabetes? It occurs when the pancreas fails to produce enough insulin for the body. The diabetes mellitus type 1 is mostly diagnosed in children and adolescents.

What is type 2 diabetes on the other hand? It occurs when body cells become resistant to the insulin and cannot use as much of it at one time. The type 2 diabetes mellitus cannot be cured. But, glycemic controls can help in reducing the diabetic complications. It can also be treated by adjustment in diet and exercise. A typical type 2 diabetes diet should consist of eating healthy food, eating the right amount of food and eating meals at the right time. People having this kind of diabetes should see a nutritionnist in order to know what is the right amount of carbs, proteins and fats their body daily needs.

Finally, the Canadian Diabetes Care Guide is a good reference source because it gives a lot of information about this disease. It is available for free on the Internet.
