Diabetes currently affects millions of people in America, and new cases are being diagnosed each year. Medically this disease is known as diabetes mellitus and is the bodyð€™s inability to produce enough, or properly respond to insulin. When the diagnosis is received later in life there is a learning curve and this curve can be quite frustrating. Frustrating because there is so much to learn like; what habits to break, what foods to eat, what to avoid, what new ingredients I can use, where can I find recipes, and the list goes on. In today"s modern society a diabetic cook book can be found at a local book store or an e-book version can be purchased giving them an added convenience.Â
There are many types of diabetes recognized, and the principles three are type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes. All types of diabetes are treatable since insulin became medically available since 1921. Sadly there is no cure for diabetes yet, although gestational diabetes customarily resolves after the delivery of the baby.
Diabetes is found to be genetic, can be triggered by an infection, stress, and lifestyle as well. Diabetes risk can be reduced by proper diet and exercise in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle. It is recommended alcohol be avoided and a menu including whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean meats be followed. A healthy weight must be maintained as well. Saturated fat should be minimized with mono and polyunsaturated fats being consumed.Â
