Über dieses Buch
Diabetes is a term used to describe a cluster of conditions in which the body is unable to produce any or enough effective insulin. There are two main types of diabetes. Type 1: Commonly diagnosed in children and adolescents, this occurs when the pancreas is unable to produce insulin. Type 2: Usually developed in adulthood, this occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin and when the body does not effectively use the insulin that is produced. Nutrition and physical activity are important parts of a healthy lifestyle when you have diabetes. Along with other benefits, following a healthy meal plan and being active can help you keep your blood glucose level, also called blood sugar, in your target range. To manage your blood glucose, you need to balance what you eat and drink with physical activity and diabetes medicine, if you take any. What you choose to eat, how much you eat, and when you eat are all important in keeping your blood glucose level in the range that your health care team recommends.
