Diabetes causes you to have abnormal levels of glucose in your body.
You can also develop other illnesses if you are diabetic such as heart disease and vision problems.
Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in younger patients, while type 2 diabetes is found in patients aged 40 and above.
Type 2 diabetes is the most common kind of diabetes, but type 1 is considered more dangerous.
Diabetes is one of the fastest-growing epidemics in the world. Those who are on the heavier side of the scale and are living sedentary lifestyles are more likely to develop diabetes.
Living a sedentary lifestyle can quickly lead to excess fat.
Make sure to incorporate small but consistent efforts to lose weight like brisk walking and jogging to help kick start your fitness goals.
A balanced meal with lean meat, fruits, and vegetables can help you become healthier.
Avoid snacking most especially during the wee hours of the night to avoid weight gain.
