Diet and Disease Prevention Part 9

Your Diet and Type 2 Diabetes

Diet and diabetes are inextricably linked. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder in which you stop producing your own insulin, which helps your body utilize the food you eat in a healthy and balanced way.

Type 2 diabetes is when you do produce insulin, but there is something wrong with the whole process of utilization.

This condition is commonly termed insulin resistance, and can be seen as a type of pre-diabetes.

Metabolic syndrome, recently posited by Johns Hopkins, is a cluster of symptoms which can also be a precursor of diabetes.  In this article, we will outline diabetes, both type 1 and type 2.

We will also discuss the latest facts and figures on metabolic syndrome.
