Hello Take Care
Community! Hope this months blog finds you all in good health! Just in time for
the holidays, and all the goodies, this months blog is about:  (Photo via www.southboromedical.com) To begin, Diabetes
is a disease in which your blood sugar levels or blood glucose, are too high.
Glucose comes from the foods we eat. In healthy individuals, the pancreas
produces a hormone called insulin to get the glucose into cells to be used as
energy. There are two types:
 (Photo via: www.medicinenet.com) This form is much more common, and can be controlled by diet and insulin as needed. (NIH: National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases) Diabetes affects 25.8 million people of all ages, which is about 8.3 percent of the US population. About 7.0 million persons are undiagnosed (NDIC Diabetes Statistics) Complications Over time, having
too much insulin in the blood causes damage to major organs and body systems
such as the eyes, kidneys, and nerves. Risk for associated heart disease and
stroke are higher in diabetics. (nlm.nih.gov/MedlinePlus : National
Institute of
Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases)  (Photo via: blog.myotcstore.com)As with many other
diseases you may be more at risk if you have a strong family history of the
disease. Per the Centers of Disease
Control (CDC), other risk factors include:
•
Obesity •
Sedentary lifestyle •
African American decent •
High caloric/ sugar diet •
High blood pressure •
Abnormal cholesterol levels Symptoms may go
ignored or masked by other ailments but remain the same for many individuals.  (Photo via: diabetesinformation1.blogspot.com)Any persons with
risk factors or symptoms are encouraged to see a primary care provider. A
simple blood test called a Hemoglobin A1C can show if you have diabetes or at
strong risk. Early recognition can prevent extensive complications. As always,
prevention is the key. Be well community and Happy Thanksgiving! ~Denise,

Most of the time gestational diabetes goes away after the baby is born. Even if the diabetes goes away you have a greater chance of getting diabetes and your child from that pregnancy is at future risk for obesity and type 2 diabetes.
