Are you one of the 31 million?

Unfortunately diabetes is very common - in the U.S. approx 31 million Americans are diagnosed with diabetes or told they are prediabetic every year and many people didn't recognize the symptoms.

- frequent urination -> extreme thirst

- fatigue

- dry mouth

- increase hunger or unexpected weight loss

- frequent yeast infection due to the yeast feeding on the glucose.

There are several types of diabetes:

Type I - Which is a genetic, autoimmune condition in which causes a person to not produce or process insulin properly.

Type II - is a condition in which you have too much sugar or glucose floating around in your blood and not making it to the tissues. Glucose is the bodies fuel & energy source and all our food converts into this form of sugar.

As you can see, it is very important to watch your sugar intake - or carbohydrate intake. Carbohydrates turn to sugar/glucose the fastest in your body before fat & protein - so this is why the timing of your food/meals is important - especially if you are diabetic.

Eating a high carbohydrate meal late in the day as you are (slowing down) & not moving as much can cause your blood sugar to spike.

As always, stay safe & be well!

You mean the world to me!
