Diabetes diet: 105 healthy recipes that can change diabetes forever

Diabetes is a condition in which the blood sugar level in the body is HIGH. It is caused
by the pancreas not producing
enough insulin or the cells of the body do not respond properly to the insulin produced.
Diabetes is divided into types:
Diabetes Type I: occurs when the body fails to produce sufficient insulin to metabolize
blood sugar.
Diabetes Type II: occurs when the body cells fail to respond to insulin properly. This
causes accumulation of sugar in the
blood leading to diabetes.
Gestational diabetes: occurs when pregnant women who do not have previous history
of diabetes develop high blood
sugar level.
Having diabetes is not the end of the world; it can be managed/treated with:
healthy nutrition
physical exercise
staying off tobacco and alcohol and
taking insulin meditation (type I), weight loss (type II) and after baby delivery
(gestational diabetes).
Glycemic Index Consideration
Glycemic index (GI) is a measure of how fast and how much a food increases blood
sugar levels. In other words, it is figure
that shows the effects of carbohydrates on blood sugar levels.
Following glycemic index will help you determine how fast a food turns into sugar in
your blood.
