Diabetes affects us all - See why!
It is now a proven fact that obesity is a major contributor to diabetes. Being fat or having a fat belly makes it much harder for the body to process insulin, which makes it absolutely difficult to control our blood sugar levels. Additionally, being overweight is a recognized indication of the possibility of developing diabetes even with no family history of the disease.
All people and particularly families with young children! The foods they may be eating; the lack of exercise either in school or at home; the sedentary nature of electronic entertainment and even curricular activity especially involving the computer contribute to a child becoming affected by diabetes. Perhaps if families used, consistenly, exercise active games on the X-box or Wii for example, that may help to some degree. But it has to be consistent and coupled with healthy food consumption.
