Diabetes
More than 26 million Americans suffer with Diabetes. An estimated 7 million cases go undiagnosed and remain that way until the symptoms become acute. You could be experiencing pre-diabetes or diabetes if you experience one or more of these warning signs:
Two types of diabetes
Type 1 Diabetes, known also as juvenile onset or insulin-dependant diabetes, is an autoimmune condition occurring in a small percentage of the population. The immune system attacks its own insulin-producing cells in the pancreas; therefore Type 1 diabetics have to supplement insulin for the rest of their life.
Type 2 Diabetes, also called non-insulin dependant diabetes, affects about 90 percent of diabetics in America. Type 2 is defined as chronic high blood sugar or diet-induced and is 100% curable.
