Diabetes occurs when blood glucose, also called blood sugar, gets too high. Blood sugar is the main source of energy and is obtained from the food we eat. The hormone insulin is formed by pancreas and helps glucose from food to be absorbed by body cells and be used for energy.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/beatoapp.com\/\/lps\/inapp-beato-paid-coach-consult-web?id=2400330&#038;campaignid=2400330&#038;source=2400330&#038;utm_content=%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F840\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Blog-banner-1.png\" class=\" wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Blog-banner-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Blog-banner-1-300x88.png 300w, https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Blog-banner-1-768x225.png 768w, https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Blog-banner-1-420x123.png 420w, https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Blog-banner-1-840x246.png 840w, https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Blog-banner-1-150x44.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"c7\">Statistics<\/span><span class=\"c5\">&nbsp;state that globally diabetes takes 3.4 million (approx.) lives annually.

Unfortunately there is no permanent cure for this type of diabetes.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"c5\">T1 Diabetes affects mostly children and adults. The only way to manage this type of diabetes is with the use of insulin- either through injection or via an insulin pump.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><span class=\"c8\">Type 2 Diabetes<\/span><span class=\"c5\">:<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"c5\">Type 2 diabetes is the most common type of diabetes. You can develop this disease at any age, but can be mostly found in middle aged and older persons.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><span class=\"c2\">Gestational Diabetes:<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"c7\">This type develops in women when pregnant. This type of diabetes generally goes away post delivery of the baby. The only risk is that if you have&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"c7\">gestational diabetes<\/span><span class=\"c5\">, you are at a higher chance of developing Type 2 diabetes at some stage in life. Quite often diabetes diagnosed during pregnancy is in reality Type 2 diabetes.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"c5\">When you have diabetes your blood sugar level may be consistently high.

Below mentioned is the preferred diabetic diet you should follow.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"1\">\n<li><strong><span class=\"c8\">Oatmeal: <\/span><\/strong><span class=\"c5\">Oatmeal is high in soluble fiber. Oats take longer to digest than processed carbohydrates, which prevent spikes in blood sugar levels.<br><\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span class=\"c8\">Olive Oil:&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"c5\">This comes under the category of good fat and helps achieve better insulin sensitivity through the day. It also helps manage belly fat which can contribute to an increased chance of Type 2 diabetes.<br><\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span class=\"c8\"><strong>Healthy carbs:<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"c5\">During digestion, sugar and starch breaks down into blood glucose. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products all contain good and healthy carbohydrates.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"c5\">Make sure to religiously have a 3 time meal pattern, and also keep something to quickly munch on.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"c7\">With your meal in place the only thing you need more is a&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"c7\">glucometer<\/span><span class=\"c5\">. A glucometer is a handy device that lets you monitor your blood glucose levels. You can keep a track of your sugar levels and also quickly take action when it fluctuates from your normal sugar level.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"c7 c9\"><a class=\"c13\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id%3Dcom.healtharx.beato%26referrer%3Dutm_source%253Dadmob%2526utm_medium%253DWebsiteBlog_InterestingFactsAboutDiabetes_February%2526anid%253Dadmob&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1644148366071529&amp;usg=AOvVaw3XuTOAAQWDiBDRCIgny1kN\">Manage your sugar levels regularly with BeatO<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":9309,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[6,7,10,8,49,27,15,14],"class_list":["post-840","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-diabetes-basics","tag-diabetes","tag-diabetes-care","tag-diabetes-diet","tag-diabetes-management","tag-diabetic-care","tag-diabetic-diet","tag-diabetic-management","tag-gestational-diabetes"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/840"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=840"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/840\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19161,"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/840\/revisions\/19161"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9309"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=840"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=840"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=840"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
