Diabetes affects about 422 million people worldwide. 🤯
Diabetes is a condition where your body is unable to produce, or has difficulty producing, the insulin it needs to manage blood sugar levels. 🍬 Insulin is a hormone secreted by the pancreas. It has the important job of moving glucose out of your blood and into your cells. Regulating blood glucose levels requires balance and daily management, from planning out meals, practicing regular physical activity, and calculating the amount of insulin that one might need to make it through any particular day; even high levels of stress can cause blood sugar to rise. 👉 There are 3 main types of diabetes:
Type 1 diabetes - This is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks and destroys the cells in the pancreas that make insulin.
Type 2 diabetes - This is a lifestyle disease, and can be caused by obesity, genetics, inactivity, and/or poor diet choices.
Type 1.5 diabetes - Also called latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), this condition shares characteristics of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
🙏🏼 Thankfully, lifestyle changes can prevent further health complications caused by persistent high blood sugar, like cardiovascular diseases, kidney disease, and nerve trouble. Practice these three lifestyle habits daily to help manage your diabetes:
1. Meal plan and time your meals ahead of time to avoid making unhealthy decisions when hungry
2. Maintain a regular exercise regimen that balances your body's need for movement and rest
3. Practice emotional health and stress management to prevent blood sugar spikes and stress eating
🔑The key to managing your diabetes is making changes that are sustainable and fit your daily life. For more guidance on how you can make a positive stride with your condition, reach out to our office. ... See MoreSee Less
