Public Health Concern

     Diabetes type two is a disease that has come into the lives of many and altered them for ever, for the worse. Diabetes is known as a chronic disease which simply means a permanent disease. It is a condition in which a human being regularly faces high blood pressure because there is a problem in the way there body constructs and makes use of insulin. I understand some people are born with the disease and there is nothing they could have done to prevent it, but people with type two- diabetes attain it by not taking care of their bodies, or their sugar intake. Type two- diabetes also results from other foods you eat and how unhealthy it is. It is okay to indulge yourself in food every once in a while, but when you make it a habit it becomes dangerous. Most people with type two diabetes where overweight at the time they were diagnosed. Type two- diabetes in children is a shame. Their parents should have monitored their treats and snacks more closely. Once you are diagnosed with diabetes there is no going back. You constantly have to monitor what you eat and take insulin and other medications. It becomes a burden that sticks with you for the rest of your life. The reason I believe type two- diabetes is serious enough to warrant immediate attention is because it is preventable. All you need is the knowledge and information on how to take care of your body and the commitment to make healthy living a lifestyle.
