GET TO KNOW YOUR BLOOD SUGAR

Diabetes involves problems with a hormone called insulin. Normally insulin helps control our blood sugar levels, moving it from our bloodstream into our cells to be used for energy. Diabetes can lead to long term complications such as artery, kidney, nerve and eye damage. Learn ways to prevent and manage diabetes through healthy eating.

In fact, sugary drinks are the number one source of added sugars in our diet.
