 Follow An Active Lifestyle And Monitor Your Blood Sugar  by  Javier Fuller One of the first realizations that confront a person diagnosed with diabetes is the depressive idea that diabetes is a lifelong disease. Other diseases are tackled as and when they occur and after a course of treatment the disease is cured. While, in the case of diabetes, the patient is hard hit by its lifelong burden.

 Blindness Could Be Caused By Diabetes!  by  Ng Peng Hock Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that reduces a person's immunity. It can lead to heart disease, and it may also affect some organs of the body, such as the eyes. Diabetes is, in fact, the cause of the most common form of blindness, a condition known as diabetic retinopathy.

 Controlling Diabetes Naturally  by  Chris Chenoweth Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin or cannot properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that the body needs in order to convert sugar, starch, and other foods into energy.

This unique disease is an affliction that sometimes goes undetected in people for a long while before one actually spots it. It is also a disease that does not confine one to bed rest like a bout of flu, or a viral infection. It shows no outward symptoms like pain or swelling or cough or discomfort. The only suspicion aside this illness is an unnatural craving for sweet things, which again, often gets dismissed as a weakness for sweets or as possessing a sweet tooth. Also, this love for the sugary stuff is not an invariable accompaniment of the disease. The cause of this disease is the lack of insulin in our body.
