Fighting Against Diabetes With CBD Oil
Diabetes can be described as a medical condition affecting the body’s inability to process glucose or normalize blood sugar. This is often brought about by the inability of the pancreas to produce enough insulin needed for the conversion of carbohydrates into glucose. More than 100 million U.S. adults are now living with diabetes or prediabetes. Without the right medical attention and proper management, diabetes can lead to the buildup of glucose in the blood thus increasing the possibilities of dangerous complications like obesity, heart diseases, and stroke.
Diabetes occurs in three forms; Type I and Type II and gestational diabetes. In Type I diabetes (juvenile diabetes) the body’s ability to produce insulin from birth is compromised, and people who have this type may be required to survive with the daily administration of insulin. Type II diabetes is generally the result of a pancreas burnout and the development of insulin sensitivity, typically found in overweight and underactive people. Although the body makes insulin at this stage, the cells may fail to respond to its activities. During gestational diabetes, the body’s ability to respond to the activities of insulin may be greatly reduced due to the presence of pregnancy. It is the mildest form of diabetes since the condition is resolved after giving birth.
