About Diabetes
In Australia, the disease affects nearly 1 million people yet probably another million people have the condition or impaired glucose tolerance (pre-diabetes) but are unaware.
Your body requires insulin to convert glucose into energy, an essential process during digestion. In people who suffer from diabetes, insulin is either not produced, or is produced in insufficient amounts. When a diabetic consumes products containing glucose, it stays in the bloodstream, instead of being fed to your body as energy.
