CATCHING DIABETES EARLY
Posted by admin
Before people develop Type 2 diabetes, they usually have pre-diabetes. This is when their blood sugar levels are higher than what is normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed as a diabetic. Diabetes is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors; you cannot develop it by eating too much sugar, sweets or chocolate. People with pre-diabetes do not need special diabetic foods; they should follow a healthy meal plan low in saturated and trans fats, moderate in sugar and salt just like everyone else. Recent studies have shown that people with pre-diabetes can return their blood glucose levels to normal by making changes in their diets and increasing their daily physical activity.
