What is diabetes?
Diabetes is a disease that happens when the pancreas cannot make insulin, which then makes your blood sugar get very high.
Although we are searching for a cure, diabetes is a chronic disease that has to be treated your whole life.
How do you manage diabetes?
You have to check your blood sugar level with a special machine before every meal.
You might have to give yourself a shot of insulin to help control your blood sugar.
It's very important to have a good diet! Avoid refined sugars (sugar, sweets, pastries ...) and regulate how many carbohydrates you eat.
And remember, always ask your doctor!
