From the Mayo Clinic: "The term "diabetes mellitus" refers to a group of diseases that
affect how your body uses blood glucose, commonly called blood sugar. Glucose is vital to your health because it's the main source of energy for the cells that make up your muscles and tissues. It's your body's main source of fuel." If you have diabetes, no matter what type, it means you have too much
glucose in your blood, although the reasons may differ. Too much glucose can
lead to serious health problems. Chronic diabetes conditions include type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes.
Potentially reversible diabetes conditions include prediabetes — when your
blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be classified
as diabetes — and gestational diabetes, which occurs during pregnancy." If you have been diagnosed with "Early Onset (Borderline Diabetes)" Then you are at least one step ahead of those suffering with type II diabetes. With a controlled diet, consistent exercise and several other important steps, you can bring your blood glucose down to acceptablelevels. Sugar is the villain! But refined sugar and products like corn syrup in many if not most of the foods on the grocery store shelves. Read the labels on the stuff you are buying. See how much of it is in carbohydrates and sugars. Take control of you life. It may not cost you an arm or leg--but it could cost you a leg--or two!
