Diabetes Control Information

Diabetes is so common in America any more it's almost inconceivable that anyone doesn't have a good idea of what it is and how it occurs.

The most important contribution this site can make is this caution: Until diabetes is fairly advanced and doing damage to the body, it can be relatively symptomless. Yet it's detection is simple.

There are certain warning symptoms, and just because you may be within the normal weight range for your body type, it is NOT a valid assumption that you may not ever develop this disease. Thin people DO develop diabetes... but most of us know that the obese person is much more likely.  And as we know, most of Americans are over weight.

Caught early, it can be controlled unless it is of the "juvenille" variety.  It all has to do both with insulin production and insulin use.  In the juvenile type, the organ (Islets of Langerhorn) in the body quit producing all together, and there's little that can be done except to supplement the insulin. This is usally done via syringe or pump.

But in the Adult Onset (and you don't have to be an adult), it's more of an insulin use problem.. and this can be controlled by weight control and eating. Exercise is part of weight control.

Your first tip off you may be diabetic: Much more urination than the average person. Alot of thirst... and don't ignore it, or you'll add dehydration to your problem.

Again, it is a simple test and if you think you might tend toward it, see your doctor and have fasting blood sugar test done. He or she will know. Catch it early and you are relatively safe.

Let it go and you can lead to blindness, limb amputation, stroke and a host of other diseases... and financially, you'll also be tainted as you'll be unable to obtain health insurance from most carriers.
