Everybody wants to avoid diabetes. Diabetes is a question that will affect everyone at one point in life, whether directly or indirectly. This newsletter will give you with more information on diabetes and perhaps will lead to lifestyle changes that can help you, your friends, and family, avoid this terrible and mostly preventable disease.
A person with "adult-onset" diabetes (Type II) has high blood sugar levels since the cells of the body do not react to insulin (they are "insulin-resistant"). Insulin is a hormone released from the pancreas and it will stimulates blood sugar uptake by cells of the body.
The cells then use this sugar for energy, however constantly elevated blood sugar levels can be unhealthy. In 1996, it was reported that the number of diabetes cases is going to increase to 250 million worldwide by 2025.
