HOW TO EAT FOR DIABETES
Do you know someone with pre-diabetes, Type 2, or Type 1? Please share this video with them and ask them to give themselves 9 minutes that could possibly change their life; because to understand how to gain stable blood sugar levels and avoid the complications of diabetes, they need to understand how to eat for diabetes (all types).

1. Awareness of diabetes complications:
- Fatty liver disease
- Visual impairment/blindness
- Neuropathy and amputation
- Kidney disease/dialysis
- Stroke
- Heart attack/death
Diabetes Complications
Diabetes complications begin because of blood vessel and nerve damages, causes due to high-level of glucose in blood (uncontrolled diabetes), prolonged diabetes, high-cholesterol level, and high-pressure. Nerve damages of the respective organs are the root cause of diabetes complications.

End Organ Damage
Hyperglycemia may be the hallmark of diabetes, but does not cause most of the morbidity. Blood glucose is fairly easily controlled by medication, but this does not prevent the long-term complications.
