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.

this was in an airport, im pretty sure [= but uhm, we all know he looks gorgeous here, but read this!: Nick made this speech before he sang A Little Bit Longer in Chicago and it's so amazing, it touched me. =) :
"As some of may- as some of you may or may not know, this song was written about something really close to my heart. You know sometimes life brings out its complications and some hardships, but you know, it's how we deal with them that counts. And I know that each and every single one of you in this audience tonight have been through a hard time in your life before, right? I know that each and every one of you have felt, at one point, like you couldn't go on. But then you found hope. There's always some way to find hope. Remember that. There was a time in my life when I got diagnosed with diabetes, and I thought that I'm not gonna be able to live my dream, getting to do what I wanna do. That was three years ago. And I can say, today, that I played for 12,000 people in Chicago. That happened 'cause I found hope. How many of you people in this audience tonight need to find hope? How many of you need to find a friend? And how many of you need to feel some peace? Well like I said, that's what this song is about. And tonight, this song- this song is for you. This song is for every broken heart tonight, and for every broken dream, for every high and for every low. Don't ever forget it. Now, what I want you to do now is, if you know the words to this song, I want you to sing with all- with all your heart and with all your soul. 'Cause something happens when 12,000 come together and sing a song. Alright? Now this song is for this generation, and this generation is gonna sing it out."
<3.
