NOTE 1: Tiny cells in the pancreas called “islet cells” produce the hormone insulin which breaks down carbohydrates into blood sugar. In diabetic patients, the patient’s own white cells accumulate in the pancreas, attack and destroy the islet cells, thus producing diabetes. Islet cells are also called “beta cells” and are scattered like grains of sand throughout the pancreas.

NOTE 2: Diet plays an important role in treatment of diabetes. Attention should be given to the foods eaten and the quantities consumed. Here are a few tips for healthy eating:

1. Eat complex carbohydrates like whole wheat, bread, oats, etc. They are absorbed slowly into the blood stream to give more time to the pancreas to produce an adequate quantity of insulin.
2. Cauliflower, broccoli, tomatoes, cabbage, radish, celery, bitter guard and clear soups are good.
3. Fruits like papaya, melon, grapefruits, guava, oranges are also good diet.
4. Avoid legs and thigh of chicken or other birds and eat the white meat of breast instead.

NOTE 3: Juvenile (Type 1) Diabetes strikes children and retards their growth. For it, insulin in no cure.
