The cells of our bodies get energy from sugars, as glucose obtained from our daily diet, especially the carbohydrate part of these foods, diet also provides protein and fat which, with carbohydrates are essential for the nourishment of the individual.
In a healthy person, the levels of glucose circulating in the bloodstream, mainly due to the digestion of food consumed are kept in a certain range by a series of chemical reactions that occur constantly in the body.
Diabetes, a serious illness, is a condition in which the body a person is unable to effectively regulate and control the sugar levels in their blood in the way a healthy person does.
As yet, medical science has not been able to provide a cure for diabetes, for treating a patient suffering from diabetes, considered as a diabetic, it is necessary to implement a regime of diet and exercise procedures that, together with drugs prescription, may help control levels of sugar in the blood that would otherwise inevitably lead to major complications and increase the risk of several serious conditions, including cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death in the diabetic population.
In addition to the number of people who are known to be diabetic, there are also many people who have the disease without knowing it, perhaps because they have not had a recent or perhaps any, medical supervision,
Important Note: Any person who is known to be diabetic to be under the care of a physician.

Aided by nutritionists and other providers of health care, the doctor will advise probably measures the patient must take to reduce and control blood sugar in the blood, also called blood sugar, within a near normal.
Five factors in diabetes management
The first factor: An effective diabetes management requires an appropriate plan daily food should be carefully followed, no special food, but good food chosen the quantity and variety of food available. Available, that is, citizens of the developing world, then again, diabetes is the disease increasing development in the Western world. Here below are some foods that are off-limits, but the quantity and quality must be taken into account.
The second factor is the requirement for regular exercise, not needed at athleticism, but more than casual walk every day. Commonly suggested is to take a brisk walk for half an hour each day, or at least five times a week. Or it could be swimming or bicycle or whatever amount is at least the minimum amount equivalent to the exercise.
The third factor relates to weight loss. If a diabetic person is overweight it increases the level of serious heart problems and other health risks. The first two factors, described above, can help reduce the weight if properly applied, but before implementing a weight loss program, consult with a physician would be wise.
The fourth factor is that after a day of personal leave in the blood at home should be taken. The blood test is done with the help of a simple and easy to use the meter takes only ten or twenty seconds for a reading that indicates the amount of glucose in the blood. If this is done once a day then most likely it should be up before breakfast or any other dietary intake, in other words a level of fasting glucose – as it is commonly referred.
Monitor blood glucose levels to home every day, allows the diabetic to know their status and, if necessary, make adjustments to their diet and / or lifestyle in a best effort to correct levels of sugar in the blood. This may need more blood tests daily that the only criterion morning. It is a fact that many diabetes its management is in the hands of the diabetic person and involves frequent checks to try to gain control.
The fifth factor: regular attendance at the doctor's office for examinations and blood tests, known as hemoglobin A1c or A1C test blood. The blood for these tests, a simple painless procedure, is taken by a technician at a medical clinic, and are normally held every three or four months. These tests provide essential information content of estimated average glucose existing in the blood during the earlier period of 3 months. This test result is possible because the life span of blood cells, which are constantly produced by the body, is about 12 weeks, so some of the blood cells all are newly created while others will be of any age, until about 12 weeks. With the results of A1C blood tests available, the doctor can monitor and evaluate, and adjust if necessary, the best treatment to fight against diabetes.
