I am researching Diabetes. CAUSES Overweight, which also means unhealthy food, not enough exercise, and also another cause is that you can't process blood sugar from a fat diet. SYMPTOMS People could have diabetes with symptoms like high blood sugar, they can be tired all the time, increased thirst, blurred vision, fatigue, and frequent urination. CURE There is no cure right now but they are trying to use stem cells to find a cure. TREAT IT You can help your diabetes or treat it by using insulin to normalize blood sugar. Diabetics who do not need insulin can maintain a healthy lifestyle by controlling their blood sugar. INTERESTING FACTS Some interesting facts are that diabetes mostly effects adults, but it can also effect some kids. Also type two diabetes is very dangerous, but if you have type one or type two it is still very serious. Another interesting fact is that diabetes effects over 16 million people in America. Also people with diabetes have to have a limit with sweets.
