Many of us know that diabetes has become an epidemic and if it is not managed properly, can lead to a number of other health problems. Simply put, diabetes is a condition in which glucose in the bloodstream is not able to enter the cells to be used for energy because the pancreas is not producing enough insulin or the cells themselves have become resistant to insulin’s action. It is vitally important for diabetics to control their blood sugar. Actually, we all should be eating similar to a diabetic, as it will help us maintain energy levels and help us feel full for a longer period of time.To learn more about Mary, visit her website at maryopfernutrition.com
