If you didn’t already, I’m type 1 diabetic. This means my body doesn’t produce insulin. Insulin is a hormone which takes sugar out of your blood & turns it into Emery.
There are 2 types of diabetes, very creatively named; type 1(you tend to develop it as a child,& are born with a high chance of developing it) & type 2(you develop it in later life, because you’ve overworked your pancreas in your younger years).
Im not in America, but in the US population overall, they established for 2018 there was: 34.2 million people of all ages—or 10.5% of the US population who had some form of diabetes.
So I have to balance my foot intake with my insulin (which I inject)
If you exercise, it effects your BG (blood glucose) because it uses up energy. My diabetes determines the ratio of how much insulin I need for what foods & drink, & when.
diabetics are hyper sensitive about their BG. It’s common, you probably know one.
As there’s such a big proportion of diabetics, I will share in future posts some diabetic friendly recipes which I like, that are good even if you’re not diabetic.
