| Diabetes Treatment Begins At Your Home... |

There are two types of diabetes: Type I and Type II Diabetes I: This is a totally insulin-dependent diabetes. A patient of type I disease, is a patient for ever. S/he watches the insulin doses helplessly. Diabetes II: The is a non-insulin dependent diabetes. Young children and young adults suffer from this disease. Beta cells inside the pancreas help in creating insulin by the pancreas. Once they stop the production of insulin, they will never start producing insulin again. This is Diabetes II, for which treatment is available. Controlling Type II diabetes is neither easy nor difficult. This statement may seem paradoxical, but that is how the attitude of the Diabetes II patients to their state of health can be described. For, they think, there are superiors among the diabetic community, and do not observe the rules on diet and exercise. They need to know that diet and exercise are the two regulatory valves to effectively check this type of diabetes. Regularity on both these counts will immensely help to control the disease totally. But once you allow the latitude of neglecting your own self, on these issues the hold of the disease may prove to be too strong. You may fall into the category of chronic case-the incurable diabetes. The need to depend upon the insulin, may be sooner than expected. In diabetes, you are your own doctor first. Your physician is your guide and philosopher at the best. Related Articles
