DIABETES MELLITUS

 WHAT IS DIABETES MELLITUS:-

Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder that affects the body's ability to produce or use insulin effectively. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels and helps to move glucose from the bloodstream into the cells of the body to be used as energy. In diabetes, there is a problem with either the production of insulin or the body's ability to use insulin effectively.

TYPE 1 DIABETES:-

In Type 1 diabetes, the body's immune system attacks and destroys the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin, leading to a complete deficiency of insulin. Type 1 diabetes typically develops in childhood or adolescence.

 

TYPE 2 DIABETES:-
Type 2 diabetes is the more common type and is characterized by the body's inability to use insulin effectively, known as insulin resistance, or a relative deficiency in insulin production. Type 2 diabetes can develop at any age, but it is more common in adults and is often associated with lifestyle factors such as obesity, poor diet, and lack of exercise.




DIET PLAN FOR DIABETES:-


Focus on complex carbohydrates:
Choose whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes as your main source of carbohydrates. These foods are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals and are digested more slowly, which helps to regulate blood sugar levels.

Reduce saturated and trans fats:
Limit your intake of saturated and trans fats, which are found in red meat, fried foods, and processed snacks.

Include healthy fats:
Include sources of healthy fats such as nuts, seeds, avocado, and olive oil.

Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables:
Aim to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables each day to get a range of nutrients and antioxidants

Control portion sizes:
Pay attention to portion sizes and aim to eat balanced meals.
It is also important to consult with a registered dietitian or healthcare provider to create a personalized diabetes meal plan that fits your specific needs and lifestyle.
