sugar diabetes and other diabetes terms
Sugar Diabetes is a popular term used today to describe diabetes but it is rooted in a diabetes myth circulating today.
The myth goes along the lines that Diabetes is caused by eating too much sugar in our diet and the sugar we are talking about here is the table kind found on everyday grocery shelves, thus the sugar disease.
Based on some truth the myth on sugar diabetes has grown to what it is today. Diabetes is a disease where the body fails to synthesize glucose which is a form of sugar.
This “glucose” sugar however does not necessarily come from eating regular table sugar I mean it does but it also comes from other different sources in our diet most commonly from carbohydrates.
In the Digestion process, the carbohydrates injected are converted into glucose which the body burns as fuel to create energy.
Diabetics have a hard problem synthesizing this glucose that builds up in the blood stream thus the sugar diabetes or sugar disease reference to diabetes.
