There are two types of Diabetes, Type 1 Diabetes and Type 2 Diabetes.Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and young adults, and was previously known as juvenile diabetes. In type 1 diabetes, the body does not produce insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life. Only 5% of people with diabetes have this form of the disease. With the help of insulin therapy and other treatments, even young children with type 1 diabetes can learn to manage their condition and live long, healthy, happy lives.
Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. Millions of Americans have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and many more are unaware they are at high risk. Some groups have a higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes than others. Type 2 diabetes is more common in African Americans, Latinos, Native American, and Asian Americans, as well as the aged population. In type 2 diabetes, either the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin. Insulin is necessary for the body to be able to use glucose for energy. When you eat food, the body breaks down all of the sugars and starches into glucose, which is the basic fuel for the cells in the body. Insulin takes the sugar from the blood into the cells. When glucose builds up in the blood instead of going into cells, it can lead to diabetes complications.
Consumers of diabetic products are those that are looking to manage and treat their diabetes through monitoring their glucose levels. In addition to purchasing monitoring supplies and kits, and taking proper medicines specific to diabetic health, these buyers will often make lifestyle changes such as learning proper diet and nutrition, exercise, and stress management.
These consumers are ideal prospects for any diabetes or diabetic prevention and treatment offers, men’s health publications, women’s health publications, medical catalogs, fitness and nutrition supplements and publications, newsletters, or insurance offers.
