All cell use glucose...INFO DIABETES

All cells use glucose, or blood sugar, as their main source of duel. Diabetes is a medical condition in which the process that transfers glucose into your cells breaks down. The results is that glucose builds up in your blood stream, while your cells starve without it. There are two main forms of diabetes:
Type 1 diabetes occurs when the body's immune system destroys the insulin producing cells in the pancreas. This can cause a total  halt in insulin production. That people must take insulin shots daily or use an insulin pump.
Type 2, the pancreas does produce insulin, but, the body's cells begin to "resist" insulin's message to let blood sugar inside the cells-a condition called insulin resistance. This form of diabetes is often linked to being overweight and tends to develop slowly.
It is more easily treated than type 1 diabetes, but its spread is becoming epidemic in the United State and in the rest of the world. The World Health Organization, described their major problem is: Diabetes, some of the world's countries suffered from an inadequate food. 151 millions adults worldwide had diabetes. Experts predict that by 2010 there will be 200 million people on the planet with diabetes, and the figure may reach 300 million a decade later. Diabetes is escalating in every continent and in every country. By 2010 more than half of the people in the world with diabetes will be Asians. In Latino America, diabetes is expected to increase by 44%, in Africa 50%, in Europe 24% and Australia 33%, no place is immune. What's causing  this worldwide explosion of diabetes is the increasing number of people across the globe who have become obese, that phenomenon is now referred to as "globesity". The international obesity task force estimated 300 million people are obese and 750 million more are overweight..."Where we have obesity today, we will have type 2 diabetes tomorrow".!
Many developed countries are able to provide excellent care for people with diabetes. The United States, Canada, Japan and most of the countries of western Europe are in that category.
The American Diabetes Association estimates that nearly one of every five Americans will contract diabetes. In the United States, another person is diagnosed with diabetes every sixty seconds. More than 625,000 new cases are diagnosed each year.
A number of risk factors are know to exist for diabetes. Type 2 diabetes most frequently strikes men and women with a family history of diabetes, people who are over 40 years of age or overweight. Woman who have a baby that weighs more than 9 pounds are frequently at risk for developing type 2 diabetes.
