It's about Diabetes

Diabetes is a disorder in which the pancreas does not produce enough insulin for the body’s needs. It is transmitted as a recessive characteristic. It tends to disappear from the family tree if non-diabetic blood is introduced. The actual cause of diabetes is unknown, but heredity and obesity are the two main factors contributing to its development in the body. The only thing you can do about heredity is to pick out a different grandmother and grandfather! Obviously, that is fraught with great difficulty, so you may be stopped on this one. But when it comes to obesity there is something you can do, even though it may tax your patience and ingenuity. An important observation in connection with exercise has been made by those who care for diabetic children. School children for whom insulin has been prescribed do not need it on the day when they do not attend school. On those days they run about and use up their carbohydrates without help. A parallel observation, also quite common is that those who have sedentary work usually are the ones who have diabetes. They sit around and put on weight. They often have good appetites and eat of the fat of the land. Every diabetic should get daily exercise. It should be as vigorous as the individual can tolerate.
