Dietary Fiber Helps Control Blood Sugar (Part 1)

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

dietary fiberDiabetes is a chronic disease which causes an alteration in the utilization of sugars due to a partial or total deficiency of the hormone insulin or does not fulfill this function.

Insulin allows sugar to enter cells to be used as an energy source, if this is weak or wrong, sugars accumulate in the blood, producing what is called hyperglycemia (levels above the normal sugar-glucose in the blood).

Spain is estimated that 3-5% of the population is diabetic, of whom the majority suffer from diabetes called Type II or adult (non-insulin dependent), and a lesser proportion (15%), diabetes type I or child (precise insulin delivery).

However, there are other types of diabetes: type mody (start in childhood but with characteristics of the adult), pregestational and gestational diabetes (incidence during pregnancy), diabetes III (starts in adults such as R and evolves as the II), diabetes secondary to organic disorders or disease of the pancreas, thyroid, adrenals, and carbohydrate intolerance.
