what is diabetes ?

Diabetes is a disorder of the assimilation, use and storage of sugars brought by food. This results in a high level of glucose in the blood (also called blood glucose): it is called hyperglycemia.

Foods are composed of lipids (fats), proteins (animal or vegetable proteins) and carbohydrates (sugars, starchy foods). It is they who provide most of the energy the body needs to function, pass through the intestine, and then reach the bloodstream.

The two main types of diabetes are different diseases but characterized by an excess of sugar in the blood and must be taken seriously and treated effectively. There are no "small diabetes" or diabetes more serious than others.

Despite the medical research that goes on every day, diabetes is still a very good, but not a cure. It is therefore necessary, all his life, to watch himself, to keep good eating habits, to practice a physical activity and to regularly take his treatment. A diabetic can be a healthy patient! YES to the quality of life!
