Type II is when the insulin is produced, but the body is unable to use it correctly. Type II has always been considered a disease of middle age because being sedentary and overweight are contributing factors. In 1979, however, the number of type II diabetic teenagers began to rise alarmingly and continues to do so. Good control of blood sugar levels is essential to prevent or delay the terrible complications which diabetes can cause. The kidneys, the eyes, the blood vessels and nerves can all be destroyed by the effects of elevated blood sugar levels, causing serious pain, suffering and disability.
Prevention is the optimum course of action when it comes to diabetes.
Sorry, folks, it doesn't work that way. Often the blood sugar can be controlled by diet and exercise. But it takes work on a daily basis to stay within the normal limits. Exercise should be done daily and sometimes even after every meal when the blood sugars are remaining high despite a strict diet. The more exercise you do, the more latitude you have with the diet.
