Diabetes is when the body is not making enough insulin or the body cannot use the insulin that is produced.  2005 the CDC released a study that said 1 of 3 children born that year would get/have diabetes in their lifetime.  Dietary control is important and portion size is important.  Your meal should be in the following proportions:  ½ the plate should be non-starchy vegetables; ¼ plate should be starch; and ¼ meat (3 to 4 oz).  You should also have some fruit and 8 oz of milk (1% or skim).  ½ your calories should be carbs.  3500 calories will = 1 lb gained if no exercise is done.  80% of Type II Diabetics are overweight.  50% of Type II Diabetics havesleep apnea.
