Diabetes supplies give a lot of help to people suffering of
diabetes
Did you know that 18.2 million Americans are affected by type 1
or type 2 diabetes and are in the need for diabetes supplies?
This may not seem a huge number of people, but it does afflict
somewhere around 6% of the U.S. population. Of these, 8.6
million are over 60. For these people, insulin and other
diabetes supplies are crucial for their own existence. I will
now explain what the diabetes disease is and why the diabetes
supplies are so necessary.
First you must know what Diabetes is how you can make your life
easier using the Diabetes Supplies.
Diabetes mellitus is a disease of the pancreas; it is a
condition in which the quantity of the glucose is too high
because your body cannot use it properly. There are 2 types of
Diabetes. Over three-quarters of people with these diseases have
Type 2 Diabetes.
Insulin is the "most needed of the diabetes supplies". It's what
keeps type 1 diabetic people alive: a hormone produced by beta
cells in the pancreas and has important functions:
1. Allow glucose to pass into cells, where it is used for energy.
2. Suppress excess production of sugar in the liver and muscles.
3. Suppress breakdown of fat for energy.
Now, by using diabetes supplies to control their heart, eyes,
heart and other, diabetic people can deal with their disease
more easily. With the help of diabetes supplies they can manage
their glucose levels and know when problems appear. Glucometers
are the most known diabetes supplies. Blood glucose monitoring
systems al almost the same thing and they measure the glucose
level in blood. Other diabetes supplies are test strips or
lancets.
Some of the diabetes supplies costs may be covered by the
persons insurance or Medicare.
In the end I would like to say that the life of those who suffer
from this disease can be now made a lot easier by using diabetes
supplies.
