Diabetes is a long-term illness that affects the way your body converts food into energy. The majority of the food you consume is converted to sugar (also known as glucose) and absorbed into your circulation. When your blood sugar levels rise, your pancreas is prompted to release insulin. Insulin is a key that allows blood sugar to enter your body's cells and be used as energy.
If you have diabetes, your body either does not produce enough insulin or does not utilize it as effectively as it should. Too much blood sugar persists in your bloodstream when there isn't enough insulin or when cells stop reacting to insulin. This can lead to major health issues like heart disease, eyesight loss, and kidney disease over time.
Type 1 Diabetes is considered to be caused by an autoimmune reaction (in which the body mistakenly fights itself) that prevents the body from producing insulin. Type 1 diabetes affects around 5-10% of persons with diabetes. Type 1 diabetes symptoms might appear suddenly. It's most commonly found in children, teenagers, and young adults. If you have type 1 diabetes, you'll require insulin on a daily basis to survive. No one knows how to avoid type 1 diabetes right now.
Type 2 Diabetes affects 90-95 percent of diabetics. Your body can't use insulin properly and can't keep blood sugar at normal levels if you have type 2 diabetes. It takes several years to develop and is generally diagnosed in adulthood (but more and more in children, teens, and young adults). If you're at risk, get your blood sugar checked because you might not notice any signs. Type 2 diabetes can be avoided or delayed by adopting a healthy lifestyle that includes decreasing weight, eating nutritious foods, and staying active.
Gestational Diabetes Pregnant women who have never had diabetes acquire gestational diabetes. If you have gestational diabetes, your baby may be more susceptible to health issues. Although gestational diabetes normally goes away after your baby is delivered, it raises your chance of developing type 2 diabetes later in life. Obesity is more likely in your baby as a child or a teen, and type 2 diabetes is more likely later in life.

3 Benefits Of Balancing Blood Sugar
3 Benefits Of Balancing Blood Sugar
One of the more common signs of blood sugar imbalance is an accumulation of fat around the abdomen.
What happens is that when we have sustained high blood sugar levels our pancreas secretes insulin to lower our blood sugar.
And when we are constantly secreting insulin our body will send a signal to start storing fat.
Fatigue, especially after eating carbs, is sign of blood sugar imbalance.
If our blood sugar is unstable, this carbohydrate intolerance is a sign of insulin resistance. Which means the cells in our body have become “resistant” to the insulin secrete by the pancreas.
This causes stress on other organs and hormones in the body, not the least of which is adrenal stress and higher cortisol production.
Many of our sugar cravings stem from a blood sugar imbalance.
When we cave to our sugar cravings our blood sugar will spike triggering a release of insulin which lowers it to a safer level.
If the insulin brings our blood sugar level a bit too low our body craves foods that will raise it and increase our energy.
