Your mother has been recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. She is now afraid to eat anything with sugar in it. What advice would you give her to help her understand her condition?
The most common type of diabetes, type 2 diabetes, is usually diagnosed in people over the age of 40 . The incidence of type 2 diabetes is rising, mostly because the U.S. population is aging, sedentary, and gaining excess weight. Obesity is considered a major risk factor for this type of diabetes, especially when the excess fat is carried around the abdomen. Usually, eating a healthful diet, exercising, and losing weight can normalize blood glucose levels for people with type 2 diabetes. For others, oral medications and sometimes insulin shots are necessary.
