Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin, a hormone that is needed to convert starches and sugars into energy needed for daily life. While an estimated 17.9 million people have been diagnosed with diabetes, a staggering 5.7 million people are unaware that they have the disease, according to the American Diabetes Association.
As many of you know, it isn't always hunger that causes you to reach for your favorite foods. Our moods and emotions can play a big role in how we view food and in how well we are able to stick to a healthy eating plan.
