In its simplest form it is called a monosaccharide and includes: 

  • Glucose (occurs naturally in fruits and plant juices)
  • Fructose (occurs naturally in fruits, some root vegetables, cane sugar and honey)
  • Galactose (combines with glucose to form lactose)  
  • Sucrose (white sugar, contains equal parts glucose and fructose.)

This can lead to complications for diabetics like weight gain and increased insulin resistance.
Eating too much sugar can make you gain weight and can also cause tooth decay.

Glucose comes from the Greek word for "sweet." It's a type of sugar you get from foods you eat, and your body uses it for energy. As it travels through your bloodstream to your cells, it's called blood glucose or blood sugar.]]> 2019-01-09 23:07:53 UTC https://padlet.com/178331/nohcp3mn27x2/wish/319047352 178331 https://padlet.com/178331/nohcp3mn27x2/wish/319047561 Because of their sweetness and better taste, I prefer food with sugar in them than food without sugar.

The underlying cause of diabetes varies by type. But, no matter what type of diabetes you have, it can lead to excess sugar in your blood. Too much sugar in your blood can lead to serious health problems.]]> 2019-01-09 23:55:20 UTC https://padlet.com/178331/nohcp3mn27x2/wish/319053173 178331 https://padlet.com/178331/nohcp3mn27x2/wish/319053549  Insulin is a hormone that helps the glucose get into your cells to give them energy. With type 1 diabetes, your body does not make insulin. With type 2 diabetes, the more common type, your body does not make or use insulin well. Without enough insulin, the glucose stays in your blood.]]> 2019-01-09 23:58:20 UTC https://padlet.com/178331/nohcp3mn27x2/wish/319053549 178331 https://padlet.com/178331/nohcp3mn27x2/wish/319053687  Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, is common among people with diabetes and can occur even when you're carefully managing the condition.
"Hypoglycemia happens when the amount of blood glucose (sugar in the blood) drops to a level that's too low to sustain normal functioning," says Erin Palinski-Wade, RD, CDE, author of 2 Day Diabetes Diet. "In most people, this is defined as a blood-sugar level below 70 milligrams per deciliter."

Your liver makes all the cholesterol your body needs. Your body also gets cholesterol directly from the food you eat (such as eggs, meats, and dairy products). Too much cholesterol can have negative impacts on your health.]]> 2019-01-10 00:09:33 UTC https://padlet.com/178331/nohcp3mn27x2/wish/319055028 178331 https://padlet.com/178331/nohcp3mn27x2/wish/319055150 Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is often called “bad” cholesterol. It delivers cholesterol to the body. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is often called “good” cholesterol. It removes cholesterol from the bloodstream.]]> 2019-01-10 00:10:22 UTC https://padlet.com/178331/nohcp3mn27x2/wish/319055150 178331 https://padlet.com/178331/nohcp3mn27x2/wish/319055248 While most of us have been advised about the dangers of high cholesterol and the ways to avoid it, there are indeed situations where your cholesterol may be too low. These have to do with specific aspects of your cholesterol profile, rather than your total cholesterol itself. Having suboptimal levels of "good" high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol increases the risk of hypertension and heart disease. And while having too much "bad" low-density lipoprotein (LDL) increases your risk of heart attack and stroke, data suggests an association, but not a causal relationship, between having too little and an increased risk of certain cancers, mood disorders, and cardiovascular diseases.]]> 2019-01-10 00:11:07 UTC https://padlet.com/178331/nohcp3mn27x2/wish/319055248 178331 https://padlet.com/178331/nohcp3mn27x2/wish/319056911 Every night, I take a pill that regulates my cholesterol levels because i have Familial hypercholesterolaemia.

This only adds to the cholesterol that is already naturally produced by the liver.

A low-fat, low-carb diet, by contrast, can help maintain a higher concentration of HDL (which the body uses to excrete LDL from the body) and a lower concentration of LDL (which can clog arteries and form plaque).]]> 2019-01-10 17:00:19 UTC https://padlet.com/178331/nohcp3mn27x2/wish/319347551 178331 https://padlet.com/178331/nohcp3mn27x2/wish/319347877 Triglycerides are another type of fat in your blood.
