Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is first world health care problem. Why? Simply because they eat too much   foods, especially the sweets desserts. People who have diabetes. have high sugar (glucose level) on their blood. It's because the inadequate of insulin, or the body does not respond properly to insulin, or both. Fat peoples are more exposed to diabetes. Severe diabetes triggers other disease, mostly called complication.
Patients with diabetes often experience more frequent urination and sudden weight loss. They will also become increasingly hungry or thirsty. Detailed symptoms can be viewed on the following image (taken from wikipedia):






Diabetes is classified into three types:


  1. Type I Diabetes: the body does not produce insulin. This often happen in teenagers or young adult. Around 10% of diabetes case is type I. Patients have to take insulin (injection or oral) for the rest of their life. They also have to maintain specific diet, usually low carbohydrate. 
  2. Type II Diabetes: the body does not respond properly to insulin, or the body does not produce enough insulin. 90% of diabetes are Type II. Some people can cure themselves by losing weight followed by healthy diet and regular exercise. But some needs to take medication, usually insulin tablet. Peoples who have lots of belly fat are more likely to develop Type II diabetes. The risk increase as their age increased. Men with low testosterone level also have higher risk of type II Diabetes.
  3. Gestational Diabetes: This kind of diabetes is temporal and usually affect pregnant women. Sugar level on pregnant women can be so high that the insulin production cannot handle.
Preventing diabetes can be done the same way as preventing to be fat. Eat low-fat and low-carbo foods. Minimize your sweet sugary dessert, and use fruits instead. You can replace your daily sugar  with fructose (sugar made from fruits) or use palm sugar. Corn sugar is also pretty good.
But eat healthy food is not enough. Regular exercise, especially cardio exercise will help so much.
If you feel some of diabetes symptoms, check your glucose level. If it's above normal, try to eat Myrmeleontidae insects. They're known to have insulin-like substances. Chinese traditional medicine have been using it for hundreds of years.
