Diabetes. This only word can awake different emotions and feelings in people. Someone may feel nothing but fear in front of diabetes, treating the diagnosis as a sentence; others, on the contrary, may treat diabetes with complete unconcern, considering that this disorder affects only those, who have a family history of diabetes.

However, the truth is that both of the above described perceptions of diabetes are wrong. The first one is incorrect, because in spite of the fact that diabetes is really a very serious health disorder, nowadays there are enough effective options to keep the illness under control and allow a patient live normal, full and happy life. On the other hand, careless behavior toward diabetes is also unacceptable, because nowadays the leadership among diabetes causes is occupied not by genetic predisposition, but by a wrong and unhealthy lifestyle, most of us used to lead. Unhealthy eating, lack of exercising, smoking and other bad habits are the major contributors to diabetes development these days.
