Diabetes is a serious illness that is affecting
young and old. The earlier you learn
what diabetes is all about, the earlier you can prevent it and take care of yourself so that you are
not affected. Many people have a
sweet tooth. However, for some
people having that sweet tooth could be dangerous for their health, and they need to take
precautions to ensure that their bodies are
able to process their sugar intake. This means that their bodies may not be working properly to eliminate the extra sugar, and that can affect the way they feel. If a person experiences extreme thirst,
frequent urination, weakness and tiredness all day, or if one begins to lose weight even though he is eating
regularly, this could be an indication of diabetes.
There are two kinds of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is the most dangerous type, necessitating the injection of insulin into the body every day, and possibly a few times a day, to ensure that the body will process and eliminate the extra sugar. Type 2 diabetes is more manageable, but it also needs to be carefully monitored through medicine and exercise. Both types can become extremely dangerous. However, you can live a long productive live with either type if you follow the doctor’s orders, take your medicines and exercise.
It is never too early to learn about diseases. In this volume in the Handy Health Guide series, children will learn valuable information about the sugar disease. The book includes fact boxes, illustrations, learning activities, a glossary, a “learn more” section, a list of books and web sites, and an index.
