Type 1 Diabetes

-Cells of the pancreas are damaged or destroyed. -Little or no insulin is released into the bloodstream. -this condition accounts for approximately 5 to 10% of all diabetes cases.

Fiber is a polysaccharide that gives plants their structure, and the bonds that hold the fiber molecules together are unable to be digested by human digestive enzymes. Fiber plays an important role in a healthy diet by promoting healthy passage of stool and by helping to prevent many digestive and chronic diseases.

-Fiber is important for adding bulk to our stools, and making it easier to eliminate stools as long as water intake is adequate. -Humans do not produce enzymes in the small intestine that can break down fiber. -Fiber can help reduce the risk of diverticulosis, obesity, and certain cancers.

Normal Function

-Glucose transporters efficiently prompt the uptake of glucose into body cells. -Insulin produced by the pancreas efficiently stimulates glucose transporters within body cells.

The day-to-day choices people make can help prevent type 2 diabetes. For those who have diabetes, there are lifestyle guidelines to follow that will help control the disease. Read the statements below and select behaviors that can help prevent or control the disease.

-Many individuals with type 2 diabetes would likely benefit from moderate weight loss. -Those with diabetes should limit alcoholic beverage intake. -A preventative measure for type 2 diabetes is to eat a healthful diet. -To help prevent type 2 diabetes, individuals should get regular physical activity.

Type 2 Diabetes

-People with this disease are often overweight or obese. -Some individuals with this disease have previously been diagnosed with prediabetes.

A minimum of ___ grams of carbohydrate daily is recommended to provide adequate glucose to the brain.
