Diabetes and Diet Treatment: Effective Methods and Tips
Diabetes treatment
This article explains how diabetes works and what dietary treatment involves.
Diabetes is one of the most serious health problems in modern society and affects millions of people around the world. This metabolic disease is characterized by elevated blood sugar levels, which can lead to serious health complications such as heart disease, stroke and kidney problems. One of the key elements of successful diabetes management is a proper diet, which plays an extremely important role in controlling blood sugar levels and the patient's overall health.
In this article, we will take a look at how diet can be an effective tool in the treatment of diabetes, both type 1 and type 2, and what dietary strategies can help patients maintain stable blood sugar levels and improve their quality of life.
How diabetes develops. Step by step.
1. Improper diet and lifestyle: It starts with the intake of too many calories, especially simple carbohydrates such as sugar and processed foods. This excessive calorie intake, combined with lack of exercise, leads to overweight and obesity.
2. Insulin resistance: when fat begins to accumulate in adipose tissue, the cells become less sensitive to insulin, the hormone responsible for absorbing glucose from the blood into the cells. This phenomenon is known as insulin resistance.
3. Excess insulin: The pancreas responds to insulin resistance by increasing the production of insulin to maintain normal blood glucose levels. In the early stages of type 2 diabetes, insulin levels in the blood may be even higher than normal.
4. Damage to pancreatic beta cells: Over time, excess sugar and insulin can cause damage to the beta cells of the pancreas, which are responsible for producing insulin. This leads to reduced insulin production by the pancreas.
5. Excessive load on the pancreas: The pancreas is increasingly unable to secrete enough insulin to meet the body's needs, leading to elevated blood glucose levels - a condition known as hyperglycemia.
6. Diagnosis of diabetes: hyperglycemia can be diagnosed with fasting blood glucose tests. When the fasting glucose level exceeds a certain limit, the patient is diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
