If you have diabetes (formally ‘diabetes mellitus’) then your doctor should have helped you to devise and eating plan that will lessen symptoms of diabetes and work with rather than against the medication you are taking. However this diet plan will not likely cover every type of food, and understanding why a certain diet works and how diabetes effects your body can help you to make informed decisions of your own outside of the diet. Furthermore it can help you to feel more involved in the procedure and more invested once you know the whys behind what you are doing.
Diabetes is a condition caused by an excess of glucose in your blood. This occurs due to other problems with the body’s insulin – insulin being the hormone that instructs the body to turn glucose into energy. In a type one diabetic the insulin simply is not being produced enough due to damage to the pancreas (usually caused by the individual’s own immune system) while in a type two it is due to the body becoming insensitive to the insulin it does produce. This then results in extra glucose which can then cause various other problems to the body – damaging the nerves and causing other complications. Meanwhile the lack of insulin itself can also cause difficulties leaving the patient unable to convert their glucose into energy. Doctors will treat this condition with anti-diabetic drugs including insulin to replace the missing insulin in the blood and thereby use the spare glucose.

Diabetes is a condition that is caused by an abundance of glucose in the blood which comes as a result of insufficient insulin (insulin being a hormone that causes the cells in the liver, muscle and fat tissue to take up glucose in order to convert into ATP to be used as energy). In type one diabetes this is due to a failure in the pancreas to produce the hormone (after the pancreas is damaged by the body’s own immune system), while in type two it is caused by the body’s failure to respond to the insulin. This excessive glucose then leads to further complications such as excessive urination and thirst, nerve damage (which presents itself as tingling in the extremities), vision problems, tiredness and more.
