Clarity of Cause, Clear as Mud By : Julia Hanf The origin of diabetes is somewhat of a mystery. Findings that date back to the 19th century have given science what knowledge it does have about the disease. Diabetes was found to be linked to the pancreas in the early 1900's by Canadians Frederick Banting and Charles H. Best. It wasn't until the 1976 that a clarification of causation was expressed by Alexander Beam. In a paper on diabetes, Beam wrote that the susceptibility to develop diabetes was inherited, but that environmental factors could contribute to the onset of the disease.

A Realistic Look at Fighting Food cravings By : Lorelei Fenton We've all heard it said in many different ways. "Once I get started on dinner rolls, I can't stop." There's not enough pasta in the world for me." "Two cookies, are you kidding?" Let's face it, some foods are addicting. And I don't mean that in the laughable sense. Such as when we chuckle after eating our 3rd slice of cake, and explain "Well, I'm just addicted to chocolate cake." I mean it in a very real and alive way. We are all addicted to many of the foods we eat. And it's debilitating. Diabetic Diets: How To Quickly Lower Your Blood Sugar Level By : Delynda Lardone All diabetics need to start on a special diabetic diet that is geared toward consuming less sugar and carbohydrates. They must stay on this diet because if they get too much sugar in their body, it will cause the pancreas to start working harder to process the sugar into energy. The more sugar they consume, the harder their pancreas will work. The sugar will soon build up in their system because the pancreas will not be able to handle it all, which can lead to serious health problems. Type I Diabetes: No U Turn By : Julia Hanf Diabetes is a disease that is growing rapidly among individuals over 20. Speculations as to the cause of the disease are great in number, but not specific.

As a secondary function, insulin assists the body in using fat and protein. When this metabolic process is tampered with, problems arise.

In people with type II diabetes, exercise may improve insulin sensitivity and assist in lowering eleva Managing your diabetes By : Roberts Diabetes is a disorder of the metabolism caused as a result of the way our bodies use digested food for growth and energy. To maintain our energy levels glucose is moved around the blood stream to the cells and muscles etc. Diabetes stops this energy supply and forces it to remain in the blood creating further problems. If the situation is not dealt with it doesn't take long for the body to build up high levels of glucose in the blood also known as 'high blood sugar levels'. Looking for A Cure for Diabetes? By : The Alternate Medic Is there an explosion in the occurrence of Diabetes in our modern society?. Sugar and Diabetes Childhood Eating Disorders By : Lindelwa Maseko Everyone needs food for energy but this does not always happen especially when a person suffers with diabetes. Most of the food we eat is broken down into glucose, the form of sugar in the blood. Glucose is the main source of fuel for the body but diabetes causes glucose to back up in the bloodstream. Owing to this condition, excessive levels of glucose build up in the blood stream instead of absorption into the cells. What You Need to Know About Diabetes Disorder By : Ray Williams Everyone needs food for energy but this does not always happen especially when a person suffers with diabetes.

If this situation remains unchecked, levels of glucose in the blood increase to dangerous levels.

As we eat many times a day and there is no cure for diabetes, it is a disease that can have a significant impact on a person's life. Diabetics have a problem with the hormone insulin.

Diabetes occurs either when your body fails to produce the requisite amounts of insulin, or fails to discern the presence of this hormone altogether, which leads to the unused glucose flooding your bloodstream.

By : Julia Hanf Diabetes, as a disease, bears with it many misconceptions which are not only deceptive to the uninitiated victim, but may also impact his health negatively on account of the misguided patterns of treatment he follows. The problems of that half-baked knowledge cause are further compounded by the myriad 'miracle cures' that keep cropping up, almost everywhere you look.

One such alternative form of Diabetes treatment is Chinese Medicine.

Diabetics are known to suffer from disease like diabetic retinopathy, diabetes-induced neuropathy and even a heightened risk of cardiovascular disease all of which can be sourced to the blood vessel damage which diabetes induces. H Diabetes: Deconstructing the Carbohydrate Myth By : Jula Hanf The classical definition of diabetes describes it as the condition in which the body is devoid of its ability to break down the glucose which it consumes into energy it can use, either because of a partial or complete lack of insulin production, or if it develops a resistance to insulin and hence does not respond to it. This glucose is obtained from carbohydrates and is then released into the blood stream where the cells of your body, upon being altered by the insulin, further metabolize it into Natural Treatments for Diabetes Type 2 By : Marcus Clarkson In the USA alone there are around 21 million people who now suffer from some form of diabetes.

Type 1 diabetes is the result of the body's failure to produce insulin, the hormone that allows glucose to enter the cells of the body to provide fuel.
