Diabetes
Allulose Store
Diabetes is a disorder of glucose processing where the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or the body cannot effectively utilize it, leading to persistently high blood sugar levels.
Main types
Type 1 is autoimmune, primarily affecting young people with sudden symptoms (thirst, frequent urination, weight loss), requiring insulin replacement.
Type 2 (the most common, 90%) is linked to lifestyle factors, involves insulin resistance, is often associated with obesity, and develops slowly.
Risks and treatment
It increases the risk of heart disease, kidney failure, and nerve damage.
Treatment involves diet, exercise, medication, or insulin.
Visceral fat accumulation significantly increases the risk of Type 2 diabetes, which can be mitigated with a keto diet (e.g., allulose recipes).
