 Diabetes is a disease that affects your pancreas and every day more people suffer from it. There are two types of diabetes, one that is because of your genetics, in other words, because someone in your family has had it, and another type that you develop on your own because of different causes, especially poor nutrition. In addition, diabetes is a disease that has no cure, although there are medicines to help. 

On the one hand, diabetes is a disease in which blood glucose levels are very high. Glucose comes from the food you eat. Besides, insulin is a hormone that helps glucose get into cells to give them energy. Type 1 diabetes happens when your body doesn't make insulin. This disease is becoming more and more common but, as I said before, there isn't a cure. To help to control this disease the patient has to take continuously a small amount of their blood and check the level of glucose in it, this sometimes, especially the first months when this disease is diagnosed, can be uncomfortable. Moreover, this condition is a big responsibility and often changes people's lives. For example, if you have diabetes, you have to control what you eat, be careful when you play sports, etc. Furthermore, this disease can contribute to the appearance of other diseases such as cardiovascular diseases. Besides, according to some experts this illness can reduce the life of people who suffer from it by 12 to 14 years.

On the other hand, type 2 Diabetes generally forms part of the “metabolic syndrome”, which is characterized by insulin resistance, obesity and a range of cardiovascular risk factors. In addition, type 2 diabetes is closely related to diet. Today, more than 1.7 billion adults worldwide are overweight, and 312 million of them are obese. In addition, at least 155 million children worldwide are overweight or obese. Obesity is a real problem that has only bad consequences, among them, diabetes. According to statistics, 7 million cases of diabetes are diagnosed each year. In addition, type 2 diabetes is fortunately preventable, but it needs work. However, even if we worry about eating well and being healthy, there is a probability of having this disease, but it is very low.

All in all, diabetes is a condition that you will have all your life when you are diagnosed with it. A cure for it is currently being researched, although there isn't a reliable one yet. Besides, if you have diabetes you may think it is a very bad disease, but thanks to medical advances a diabetic person can live a completely normal life. From my point of view, everyone should take care of their diet, do sport and have a healthy lifestyle because it not only decreases the possibilities of having diabetes, but also many other diseases.
