Type 1 diabetes is a condition that is quite often misjudged, and I want to try my best to make sure that everybody can get educated on it

Because our bodies can’t produce insulin anymore we need to use artificial insulins to make sure that we are staying healthy. These insulins can be manually injected or put into insulin pumps. These materials are not easily accessible to most so If you’re able to afford any of these you are extremely lucky.

Strong black coffee consumed before breakfast substantially increased the blood glucose response to breakfast by around 50%

Although population-level surveys indicate that coffee may be linked to good health, past research has previously demonstrated that caffeine has the potential to cause insulin resistance.

Chronic elevated cortisol can wreak major havoc on the endocrine
system. Cortisol is know as the “fight or flight” hormone. Cortisol is meant to
rise when in times of stress, such as running from a potential threat, and then
the hormone drops when the threat is removed. This hormone is created by the
adrenal glands and produces the burst of energy needed for that response. The
problem with our current lifestyle is a chronic state of stress. This chronic
stress requires the adrenal glands to work overtime and becomes the priority of
the endocrine system, putting other functions on the back…
