Before using any ingredient with the purpose of helping to control diabetes, it is advisable to consult your doctor. He is the best person to certify such treatment.

It is good that people are aware that, even when it comes to natural ingredients, they can have serious consequences for health, especially for those with special conditions.

Learn more about diabetes

Diabetes is a disease that affects many people, whether due to hereditary factors or lack of care with food. The main feature of this disease is the increase in glucose (sugar) in the blood .

Depending on the symptoms and the results of the tests presented by the patient, diabetes can manifest itself in two ways: type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes .

“ The first type is autoimmune and cannot be avoided, but it is possible to control. Already the second type can be avoided with a healthier routine . An intelligent diet, associated with regular exercise is the most correct way to control your diabetes”, explains Patrick Rocha.

It doesn’t hurt to remember that sugar levels that vary in the bloodstream are caused by the lack of care with food. In this way, from the control of food, it is possible to control diabetes.

“People with diabetes know how difficult this problem is and need attention. Regardless of age, the individual can trigger this disease and many factors are responsible for this to happen”, concludes Dr Rocha.
