And of course it bothers those people and those companies that are involved into the process of insulin manufacturing. As we all know that insulin injections are of vital importance for people with type 1 i.e. insulin-dependant diabetes. So, diabetes is not only a disease, it is also a very profitable business.

It’s important to remember that rapid weight loss could be dangerous for health and life. That is why dietitians do not recommend very low-calorie diets such as 1200 or 1000 calorie diets.
Another ‘reason-result’ situation can be connected with blood sugar level. Every diabetic knows that it’s vital to keep it under control. The higher glucose level is the higher risk your life is under. This level is mostly but nit totally determined by what and how much you eat every day. It is also determined by your emotional state. It’s a proven fact that when a person gets nervous or scared blood sugar level increases, and it could happen very rapidly.
