Living with diabetes can be a stressful time not only for you but for your family too. The condition can strike at any point during your life, from infancy through to seniority and initially be very daunting.

Capping these statistics though it is thought an estimated 1 million more people in the UK are living with Diabetes who simply don't know they have the condition.

Causes Of Diabetes:
There are two main reasons why Diabetes occurs; either the body is starved of insulin caused by the pancreas not producing sufficient amounts required for normal living. Or, the body doesn't use insulin the way it should. Both will result in an increased level of glucose in the blood. If left long enough without treatment a whole host of other problems can occur. These include kidney, eye and heart damage.
Treatment Of Diabetes:
Type 1 Diabetes is normally treated with life long insulin injections, together with a strict diet. Where as type 2 Diabetes is usually caused by the way a person lives their life. By following a strict diet and introducing regular exercise you can greatly help prevent this form of Diabetes.
