Diabetes Management
What is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a chronic, long-term disease that alters how your body turns food into energy due to high blood sugar levels.
Diabetes mellitus is a group of diseases that affect how your body uses blood sugar (also known as glucose). Glucose is imperative to the health of the cells that make up your muscles and tissues.
Being an important source of energy, glucose is also your brain’s power fuse. With diabetes, your body does not produce enough insulin (a hormone that disperses glucose throughout the body).

Since 2019, Diabetes has been the 7th leading cause of death in America.
96 million Americans are prediabetic, which is 1 in 3 adults. Of those 96 million Americans, 8 in 10 of them don’t even know they’re pre-diabetic. While people often inherit a risk for disease from their families, most chronic illnesses are in fact lifestyle-related that can be prevented. Knowing your numbers is crucial when identifying risk for chronic, preventable conditions such as diabetes.

The difference between Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes
Type 1 Diabetes
With Type 1 diabetes, your pancreas produces little to no insulin. Though not as common as Type 2, the disease occurs most often in children or young adults.
Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes is also a chronic disease but occurs when the body does not use insulin properly, which is referred to as insulin resistance. This causes glucose levels to spike or rise higher than normal.
