Diabetes

Diabetes happen when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin. Therefore, high levels of glucose present in the blood. Normally, people who overweight, hypertension will have higher chance to have this. Some people also inherit from his/her parents. The normal glucose level before meal is 3.8 - 6.1 mmol/L and after meal is less than 7.8 mmol/L.

The signs of diabetes are frequent urination, increased thirst, extreme hunger, loss of weight, weakness and fatigue and slow healing of wounds, sores adn frequent infection.

To lower the glucose level, it is advised to exercise 3o minutes everyday and have low GI diet (refer to my previous post). Losing weight slowly will make your blood glucose level stable. Besides that, say no to stress will also control the situation. Dont' t forget to have regular visits to the doctors to monitor the glucose levels.
