Diabetes and Weight Loss Supplements
Diabetes is a disease where the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that's needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into the energy needed for daily life. There are 20.8 million people in the United States who have diabetes. Pre-diabetes is a condition that occurs when a person's blood glucose (blood sugar) levels are higher than normal but not high enough for a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. There are 54 million Americans who have pre-diabetes, in addition to the 20.8 million with diabetes. Overall, high blood sugar is linked to an estimated 3.16 million deaths each year, placing it among the top five leading causes of death. The cause of diabetes continues to be a mystery, although both genetics and environmental factors such as obesity and lack of exercise appear to play major roles.
More and more studies are showing that type 2 diabetes can be prevented or greatly reduced by losing weight.
