TREATMENT OF DIABETES

Thursday, October 15, 2009

Diabetes can now be effectively treated by injecting additional insulin into the body. These additional doses of insulin which are injected will tend to offset the deficiency of insulin in the body which causes diabetes. In some cases certain types of tablets can be taken orally for the treatment diabetes. The total calorie intake in a diabetic should be restricted but it should be ensured that the minimum amount of fat, carbohydrates and proteins are taken. The insulin in the body will then be able to deal satisfactorily with the carbohydrates in the body and ensure that there is not excess sugar in the system. It is more important to reduce the total calorie intake of a diabetic than to watch the individual proportions of proteins, carbohydrates and fats, but there still must be a balance between these individual proportions.
