Type 1 Diabetes

Type 1 diabetes also known as juvenile diabetes develops mostly in children and young adults. Type 1 diabetes is also more common in Caucasians than any other race.

It is an autoimmune disease that prevents the pancreas from producing insulin-producing cells. Insulin helps the body's cells use glucose for energy.

Glucose or our blood's sugar comes mostly from the carborhydrates in our foods and is manufactured in our liver.If the glucose is not properly absorbed by our cells, it will build up in the bloodstream and as a result it creates high levels of blood sugar.

Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes occurs more often in adults aged 50 and older and it is caused mostly by lifestyle.

Living a sedentary life, a poor diet, being overweight, and having a family history of diabetes are the major causes of Type 2 diabetes.

However, this does not mean that you cannot reverse diabetes.

Symptoms of Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes

* Excessive thirst * Frequent urination * Extreme hunger * Unexplained weight loss * Fatigue, or a feeling of being "run down" and tired * Rapid breathing * Blurred vision * Dry, itchy skin * Headache * Tingling or burning pain in the feet, legs, hands, or other parts of the body * High blood pressure * Mood swings * Irritability, depression * Frequent or recurring infections, such as urinary tract infections, yeast infections, and skin infections * Slow healing of cuts and bruises

Agave Nectar and Diabetes

Agave nectar is the stuff that tequila is made from. Even though most raw foodists don't drink tequila, we use organic agave nectar to sweeten our desserts and smoothies.

Agave nectar is low on the glycemic levels and therefore very safe to those living with diabetes to consume. The sweetness of agave nectar comes from fructose which is the naturally-occuring sugar found in fruits and vegetables which is low on the glycemic index.

Agave nectar does not give you that sugar rush that most granulated and refined sugars provide.

Used in small quantities, agave nectar can be consumed by those living with diabetes.
