Publisher's Synopsis
FULL COLORED DIABETES MADE EASY
Diabetes affects millions of people across the world, and it's likely that you, or someone you know, is living with this condition. Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are the two main types, but they often get mixed up. In this book, we break things down in a way that's easy to understand, no matter where you are in your journey with diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition that typically develops in childhood or adolescence. For those with Type 1, the immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Because of this, people with Type 1 diabetes must take insulin every day to survive. The cause of Type 1 is still not fully understood, but it's believed that both genetics and environmental factors like viruses play a role. On the other hand, Type 2 diabetes is primarily a lifestyle-related condition. It's more common in adults, though we're seeing more and more children and teens affected. In Type 2, the body becomes resistant to insulin over time. This means the insulin isn't as effective at controlling blood sugar levels, and eventually, the pancreas can't keep up with the demand for insulin. Unlike Type 1, Type 2 diabetes can often be managed-or even reversed-with lifestyle changes, like diet and exercise. However, as the disease progresses, medication may also be necessary. This book is not just for medical professionals or those with a deep understanding of diabetes. It's for you. Whether you've been living with diabetes for years or you've just been diagnosed, this guide breaks things down in simple, practical terms, providing you with everything you need to manage and even thrive with diabetes.
