Diabetic meals delivered to your home
What is diabetes and how can diabetic meals assist in managing diabetes?
For people with diabetes, blood glucose levels are higher than normal due to two reasons; the body either doesn’t produce enough insulin or the body cannot utilise the insulin properly. Our bodies need insulin to turn the food we eat into energy. There are three main types of diabetes; Type 1 Diabetes, Type 2 Diabetes and Gestational Diabetes, although other forms of diabetes do exist.
To further explain:
Type 1 diabetes is an auto-immune disease that occurs when the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin because the cells that make the insulin have been destroyed by the body's own immune system.
Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes; it represents approximately 90% of people with diabetes in Australia. With Type 2 Diabetes, the pancreas makes insulin, but it does not work as well as it should and upsets the balance of glucose in the body.
Gestational Diabetes is a form of diabetes that occurs in around 5% of pregnancies, and is diagnosed when higher than normal blood glucose levels appear for the first time, during pregnancy.
Diabetic meals are designed to provided balanced nutrition, more suited to those with diabetes. It is important to recognise that everyone’s needs with diabetes can be different so consultation with one’s doctor is critical.
Are you at risk of diabetes?
In Australia, nearly two thirds of men and half of all women are overweight or obese. This is a key factor in the alarming rise of type 2 diabetes. Yet up to 60 per cent of diabetes cases could be prevented, or at least delayed, by people maintaining a healthy weight.
