DIABETES (snippet)
Many people do suffer from diabetes which is a condition that affects the body’s ability to use blood sugar for energy. When the pancreas is not producing enough insulin or the cells of the body is not responding properly to insulin, such an individual is suffering from diabetes.
Insulin is a hormone that comes from a gland situated behind and below the stomach (pancreas).
It should be noted that ‘Diabetes is like termites, in that it is slow, hidden, but does significant damage in the body’. It is very important to educate the population about this silent killer called diabetes which is one of the non- communicable diseases.
Glucose is an important source of energy for your body and it comes from carbohydrate foods that you eat such as rice, bread, pasta, cereals, fruits, vegetables, milk and yoghurt.
