Only when a person understands all the above-mentioned concepts then it would help them follow a diet plan to improve their health.

Understanding diabetes
To understand diabetes in one sentence- it is a metabolic disorder that is characterized by high blood sugar levels in the body for a prolonged period of time.

Diabetes may cause serious health complications.

The health complications include:

Cardiovascular diseases
Strokes
Foot ulcer
Nerve damage
Kidney damage
Liver damage
Eye damage
Multiple organ failure
Cognitive impairment and
Death
Diabetes can be classified into a few types. They are:

Prediabetes
Type 1 diabetes
Type 2 diabetes
Gestational diabetes
Pre-diabetes is when the blood sugar level is higher than normal but which hasn’t reached enough for diagnosing type two diabetes.

Type one diabetes is an autoimmune disease. This attacks the cells present in the pancreas where insulin is produced.

Type two diabetes is when the body becomes insulin resistant. During this stage, the sugar level builds up in the blood.

Gestational diabetes is when there is a high blood sugar level in the body during pregnancy.

When a person has diabetes, they may exhibit symptoms like

Increased hunger and thirst
Sudden weight loss
Frequent urination
Tiredness
Vision impairment
Scores that take more time to heal.
What are the causes of diabetes?
Diabetes occurs because the body is unable to use blood sugar properly.

The main cause of the condition is a mystery but genetic and environmental factors play a big role.

Some of the factors which cause diabetes are:

Lack of insulin production
Insulin resistance
Genetics
Hormones
Obesity
Poor diet and
Lack of exercise
The main cause of type one diabetes is when the body loses the ability to produce insulin.

Insulin is a hormone that is required to move blood sugar throughout the body.

When there is a disturbance in insulin production or resistance there will be too much sugar in the blood.

Similarly, type two diabetes occurs when insulin is produced but the body loses the ability to move the blood glucose into the cells for fuel.

Type two diabetes is also a result of lesser insulin production in the body and an increase in insulin resistance.

Apart from insulin, genetics play an important role in determining how likely a person will develop diabetes.

There are a few genetic conditions that can damage the pancreas and lead to the development of diabetes.

Obesity can cause insulin resistance. The fat cells may cause inflammation and lead to insulin resistance.

The food choices a person makes matter a lot when they have diabetes.

It is important for us to understand that blood glucose or blood sugar is obtained from the food we eat.

Irrespective of the type of diabetes a person has making the right food choices is essential to keep the blood sugar levels in check.

Nutrition and diabetes

Carbohydrates
protein
fat
vitamin
mineral
fibre and
water
make up the most important components of nutrients. Consuming all the nutrients is essential to make a balanced diet.

The nutrients are further classified into macronutrients and micronutrients.

The term balanced diet has been explained by various healthcare professional’s influencers teachers and doctors.

Eating a balanced diet means choosing food containing all the above-mentioned nutrients.

Carbohydrates or carbs are the sugar molecules that are present in food. The body is designed to break down carbohydrates into glucose.

Glucose is the main source of energy for the body. The glucose is stored in the liver or muscles and used later.

Proteins or fondly called building blocks of the body. Protein plays an important role in a healthy diet.

Proteins are made up of amino acids. The amino acids are used by the body to build and repair muscle bones and produce hormones and enzymes.

Fat is the tissue usually greasy and forms an important part of a healthy diet.

Fat is further classified as good fat or bad fat. LDL cholesterol is harmful to the body.

Vitamins and minerals are micronutrients that are a must for the body in order to carry out normal functions.

These vitamins and minerals are not produced by the body and must be obtained from the food we consume.

All these essential nutrients are to be consumed in the right proportions in order to have good health.

Specifically, if a person suffers from the health condition diabetes, they need to closely monitor what they consume.

Consuming the wrong food will increase the blood sugar level in the body and would eventually lead to diabetes over a period of time.
