Diabetes is a growing problem throughout the United States, with the number of people affected by the disease more than doubling in the past 15 years. Over five million people are living with it and don't even know it, making diabetes education, prevention and diagnosis a vital part of health care in America.
Diabetes Education - What Is It?
This is a disease that affects the body's ability to change sugar and starch into energy. Someone with this condition is unable to either use or produce insulin. There are a few different types: Type 1, Type 2 and gestational.
Type 1 is typically diagnosed in children or young adults. Because people with Type 1 no longer produce insulin, they must take insulin daily, by either a shot or insulin pump. Type 2 is typically diagnosed in older adults, although recently more and more younger Americans are being diagnosed as American lives become more sedentary. It occurs when the body no longer knows how to use insulin and accounts for the majority of cases in America.
The last form is gestational. |
