Healthy Diabetic Cookbook

Do you know what diabetes is? Have you ever been to a doctor because you felt sick or tired? If you feel that you have diabetes, then you are most likely not alone. It's estimated that there are 20 million Americans that have diabetes. Diabetes is a chronic condition that occurs when either the body does not produce enough insulin, or the body's cells do not respond to insulin properly. If this happens, glucose (a type of sugar) builds up in the blood and causes harmful effects on the eyes, nerves, kidneys, and heart. Diabetes is a disease characterized by a lack of insulin, which is a hormone that regulates blood glucose levels. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that allows glucose (from carbohydrates) to enter cells, and use as energy. Without insulin, glucose cannot enter cells, which causes the blood glucose levels to rise. The signs and symptoms of diabetes include excessive thirst, unexplained weight loss or increased weight, frequent urination (polyuria), blurred vision (diabetic retinopathy), and changes in skin color of the hands and feet (calluses). Diabetes is a disease that affects the way your body uses the sugar in your blood. Your body runs on sugar to run energy through all of your organs and systems. When your body cannot use enough blood sugar, it makes chemical called insulin to help in the process. When your body does this, blood glucose levels rise. It becomes harder to get enough blood glucose without injecting insulin. If this sounds like you, then you may be diabetic. Diabetes can have a severe impact on weight loss programs and diet. In fact, if you're diabetic it's very possible that your current weight loss plan is not helping you lose weight at all or even making it harder for you to lose weight. This Book Covers: ?
