General Dietary Recommendations for Diabetes
O Διαβήτης είναι μία πάθηση κατά την οποία η ποσότητα της γλυκόζης που υπάρχει στο αίμα είναι πολύ υψηλή διότι το σώμα δεν μπορεί να τη ρυθμίσει στα φυσιολογικά της επίπεδα.
Το σάκχαρο στο αίμα ρυθμίζεται από την ινσουλίνη, μία ορμόνη που παράγεται από το πάγκρεας. Η ινσουλίνη βοηθάει τα επίπεδα γλυκόζης στο αίμα μας να παραμείνουν σε σταθερά επίπεδα, εφόσον της επιτρέπει να εισέλθει μέσα στα κύτταρα και να χρησιμοποιηθεί από αυτά ως ενέργεια. Στα άτομα που έχουν διαγνωσθεί με διαβήτη, παράγεται είτε ελλιπής ποσότητα ινσουλίνης, είτε δε δουλεύει σωστά.
