Diabetes is a chronic disease with no cure as of 2010. It is associated with an impaired glucose cycle, altering metabolism. Management of this disease may include carefully managing diet, exercising, taking oral diabetes medication, using some form of insulin, and maintaining proper circulation in extremities. It may be further complicated by other external factors such as stress, illness, menses, injection site scarring, and other physiological factors unique to individual patients. Patient education, understanding, and participation is vital since the complications of diabetes are far less common and less severe in people who have well-managed blood sugar levels. This book studies various methods to effectively manage diabetes including glucose meter, low-carbohydrate diet, veganism, incretin, and insulin pumps.
