Diabeets has slowly crept into the lives of almost eleven million Americans who have Diabeets and are aware they have the illness, and up to seven million Americans who are not aware they have Diabeets. Added to this glaring number of Diabeets-stricken Americans are the millions more who are in the preDiabeets stage.

People with Diabeets have more chances of surviving the illness if they know how to manage Diabeets and they have the financial means to support the medication and other supplies required by people with Diabeets.

Getting Type 1 Diabeets is usually dependent on you genes although it is not a very strong risk factor. Obesity and age are however risk factors in getting Type 2 Diabeets. But no matter how old you are, if you are obese and have a history of gestational Diabeets, have one or both parents with Type 2 Diabeets or high blood pressure, then it is best to have yourself checked for Diabeets.

Type 1 Diabeets is commonly found in children while Type 1.5 Diabeets is the name given to Diabeets found in adults.  Adults with Type 1.5 Diabeets is characterized by a slower attack on the beta cells compared to the vicious attack of beta cells in children with Type 1 Diabeets.  In Type 2 Diabeets, the bodyís insulin cannot control its blood sugar levels.

There are several ways of testing for Diabeets including the glucose test which measures the bloodís glucose level and the oral glucose test. The glucose test is best done after at least 12 hours of fasting.

The main concern for people with Diabeets is how to control the level of their blood glucose in such a way that they can lessen Diabeets-related complications. Thus, monitoring of oneís blood glucose level is always a must for people with Diabeets. Controlling the blood glucose level means choosing the type of food you eat and taking the proper medication.

A person who wants to be in control of his Diabeets should have all the necessary supplies on hand whether he stays in the house or he travels. A diabetic should always make sure that his insulin supply is not exposed to extreme changes in temperature. A diabetic is also more prone to foot problems so he should take care of his feet by using comfortable socks.

Other important supplies for diabetics include blood glucose monitors, blood pressure monitors, glucose tablets and gels.

If you have Diabeets, make sure that you have your supplies wherever you go.  Also inform your housemates or officemates about the possible stores where they can buy these supplies in case you have an emergency. Always scout for stores that sell supplies for diabetics near your home or office or where you frequently go.  And if you have to travel, make sure you carry more than enough because you never know what might happen. Also check if the places you will go to have some shops which sell the supplies you need.
