Diabetes is a sadly common disease in Canada.

According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, it’s one of the most common chronic diseases among children and youth.

So, you may be asking “What, if anything, can be done about this?”

Today we will look at some natural health solutions (http://askdrjj.com/solutions/) for managing diabetes, and hopefully also preventing type 2 or late-onset diabetes from occurring in the first place.

►What Is Diabetes?

Diabetes is a disease caused when blood sugar levels are too high.

Complications can included loss of nerve sensation, heart disease, blindness, and more, which makes being able to manage it incredibly important.

Today we will discuss the different types of diabetes, risk factors, and ways to manage this disease naturally.

►What Are The Different Types Of Diabetes?

There are two types of diabetes.

Type 1 diabetes is when the body does not have enough insulin.

A diabetic person with type 1 diabetes must manage it through self-injections of insulin.

This is the type most often seen in children.

Type 2 diabetes occurs when sugar in the blood is not absorbed by your system and cells become resistant to insulin.

Although type 2 is often referred to as “late onset” or “adult onset” diabetes, more and more cases are being seen in children, which is concerning for parents and health professionals alike.

►What Are The Risk Factors For Diabetes?

Risk factors for diabetes include sedentary lifestyle, being overweight, not exercising enough, and genetics.

In individuals with type 2 diabetes, obesity and high levels of belly fat have shown an increase in resistance to insulin.

This means that uptake of sugar from the blood into the cells doesn’t work as well as it should.
