Diabetes is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States and is increasing rapidly. Diabetes is diagnosed when the body does not properly produce or utilize insulin. Insulin is a hormone that converts starches, sugars and other foods into energy and is necessary for life. There are three different forms of diabetes that are common in people. Type one diabetes is diagnosed when the body fails to produce insulin. The resistance of insulin in the body is considered type two diabetes. The third is called gestational diabetes which affects pregwomen. nant Approximately 135,(XX) cases arc found each year in the United States, affecting 4 percent of all pregnant women. Some human populations are afflicted with diabetes more than others. Hispanic peoples. Native American and populations along with the aged are examples of these various groups. The for Healthcare Agency Research and Quality website states that 10 8 percent of blacks, 10 6 percent of Mexican Americans and 9 percent of American Indians have diabetes, compared with 6.2 percent of the Caucasian population. Many Afro-Americ- ic minorities have higher rates of diabetes-related complications and in some instances by as death, much as 50 percent more than the total population. Some avoid visiting a physician for fear of being diagnosed with diabetes. The consumption of alcohol is dangerous for those diagnosed with diabetes because of the risk of low blood sugar. Diabetics should avoid consuming alcohol on an empty stomach, limit themselves to one or two drinks and keep their diabetes under control by consulting a health care provider regularly. Being diagnosed with diabetes can be traumatizing to both the family and the one that has the disease. However, unchecked diabetes can affect the heart, eyes, feet and kidneys faster than if the proper health treatments are provided to the body. Health programs for diabetics vary but are centered around diet, exercise, and medications that may help to stabilize ones body.
