Diabetic Cookbook for Beginners

Diabetes is known to affect many people around the world. According to one study, in 2015, about 28.1 million adults and nearly 586,000 children had diabetes. This is 2.8% of the U.S. population. The CDC also says another 86.4 million adults and 8.6 million children, or about 10.6% of the U.S. population, have prediabetes.

Diabetes is a disease that occurs when blood glucose is not properly regulated. Glucose is the form of sugar that is used by all cells for energy. In diabetes, the body does not make enough insulin or cannot use the insulin it produces. 

Symptoms of diabetes include excessive thirst, frequent urination, hunger, blurred vision, unexplained weight loss, and sudden numbness or weakness in the arms or legs. People with diabetes also experience excessive sweating, itching and dry mouth.

Health complications can include heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, nerve damage, eye damage and blindness. This is why it is essential to work with your health care team to develop the best treatment plan for you and take the lead in your plan by eating healthy, staying physically active, and losing weight if necessary.
