Before we look up some diabetes recipes free, let us first see what diabetes is. Diabetes or Diabetes mellitus is a condition caused by a dramatic increase in levels of blood sugar or glucose. This occurs as a result of either not enough insulin being produced by the body or an inability of the body to respond to the produced insulin. The hormone insulin is created in the pancreas. The function of insulin is to enable the cells in the body to absorb glucose from the food and then convert it into energy. If this glucose is not absorbed by the body, it will accumulate in the blood (a condition known as hyperglycaemia) and this will lead to many severe medical complications. The most common forms of diabetes are:- Type 1 diabetes which is the inability of the body to produced insulin. A person will have to take periodic injections of insulin to keep the levels normal. Type 2 diabetes is insulin resistance. Here the insulin is produced but not used properly by the cells. Gestational diabetes is confined to pregnant woman, where a woman’s glucose levels may go up during pregnancy. Apart from insulin shots, following a strict diet can also control diabetes.
