Yet, with the right tools and some lifestyle adjustments, many people with diabetes can live full lives. Understanding that knowledge is power, SugarMD, led by Dr. Ahmet Ergin, an endocrinologist, is on a mission to put knowledge in the hands of those living with diabetes so that they can take control of their health and live more satisfying lives.
A Simple Definition
In simple terms, diabetes is a disease that affects how the body processes glucose, also called blood sugar, which is its main source of energy. While your body can make glucose, it also comes from the foods you eat. Then, insulin, a hormone in your pancreas, works to get the glucose into your cells to be used for energy. However, if you are living with diabetes, your body doesn’t make enough (or any) insulin or isn’t using insulin properly—which means your sugar can run too high.
There are primarily two types of diabetes: Type 1 occurs when the body doesn’t produce insulin, and Type 2 occurs when the body doesn’t use insulin properly. Although one cannot change one’s genetic makeup, lifestyle and environmental changes, such as a balanced diet, increased physical activity, and stress management, can positively impact one’s body’s insulin response.
