Type 2 Diabetes and Nutrition
What is Diabetes: Diabetes occurs when blood glucose, also called blood sugar, is too high. Glucose is the body’s main source of energy. The body can make glucose, and glucose also comes from food. Insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas, helps glucose get into the cells to be used for energy. With diabetes, the body does not produce enough- or any- insulin or does not use insulin effectively. This leads to glucose accumulating in the bloodstream and over time, high blood sugar levels can cause increased risk for damage to the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart, and blood vessels.
