DIABETES
Diabetes is a condition that affects how your body uses energy in the form of glucose from food, diabetes cannot be cured but it can be successfully managed. People with diabetes have a high level of glucose in their blood, which can be caused by either too little insulin being produced by the pancreas or your body not accepting or using the insulin it produces, or a combination of both. People with diabetes need to keep their blood sugar levels within a healthy range. Blood sugar levels are controlled through diet, physical activity and, for some people, medication or insulin injections.
To successfully manage diabetes, you need to understand how foods and nutrition affect your body. If you have been diagnosed with diabetes, seek the expert advice of a registered dietitian nutritionist to help you manage the disease while ensuring you get the nutrients your body needs.
