November is a month of falling leaves, frost warnings, and enticing aromas coming from the kitchen. November is also American Diabetes Month, an appropriate time to consider ones risk for this disease.
Simply put, diabetes occurs when there is too much sugar or glucose in the blood. A fat loss review can help you construct a clear outline of what you demand to focus on to carry out your fat loss goal if you're a starter; or serve as a reminder for the ones who are at an advanced or more boost phase of their losing weight plan. Promptly after are seven steps that can serve as instructions for your special weight loss system. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not a similar thing. Many weight loss programs have misled people into believing that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss applications only work by producing a person's body to burn more muscle cells and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. High blood sugar results when a persons body does not produce insulin or use it properly.
The American Diabetes Association estimates that approximately 26 million people have diabetes in the United States. Add to that figure another 79 million people who at risk for the disease with prediabetes, and we clearly have a growing health problem in this country.
Closer to home in Alabama, diabetes is the sixth leading cause of death. Recent figures from 2008 indicate that nearly 400,000 adults in this state have diabetes.

Also be aware that being overweight or obese increases the chances of developing diabetes. And, as people age, the risk of diabetes increases. Family history of diabetes also puts one at a greater risk of developing the disease.
Moreover, certain ethnic groups including American Indians, African Americans, Asian Americans, Mexican Americans, and Pacific Islanders, are more inclined to develop diabetes than other groups.
Being diagnosed with diabetes does not mean the end to eating tasty foods or sweets. On the contrary, patients are often surprised at the types of foods allowed in a diabetic meal plan. Eating plans are prepared by a dietitian with the patients preferences in mind. The foods and recipes recommended are healthy, calorie-controlled, and can be enjoyed by the entire family.
Although diabetes cannot be cured, it can be controlled with proper diet, exercise, and medication (if needed). But if left unchecked, diabetes can lead to heart disease, stroke, blindness, and kidney disease.
Diabetic education programs and support groups are numerous in the Birmingham area. National groups such as the American Diabetes Association and the Diabetes Care and Education Practice Group of the National Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics are also available to help answer questions and suggest resources.
