DIABETESI have being hearing from a lot of people that Diabetes can't be cured. But after they met me the came out with positive results.
What is Diabetes: Diabetes is chronic health condition whereby the body is struggling to regulate the sugar and the blood level. this is the situation whereby the body doesn't function as it was or it supposed to be.
A lot of people don't know that we have diabetes types.
We have two main types of diabetes.
Type 1 Diabetes: This is when your Immune system attacks and destroys the cells in your pancreas that produces insulin, a hormone that helps glucose enters your cells for energy.
Type 2 Diabetes: This is also a situation whereby your body becomes resistant to the insulin making it difficult for glucose to enter your cells. This one mostly is about lifestyle factors like obesity, physical activity etc.
You might have diabetes which you don't know either type 1 Diabetes or type 2 Diabetes.
