A friend with diabetes was telling me how she was trying to prevent the signs of aging. I asked, “What are you doing?” She answered by saying, “I use face moisturizers, special soap etc.” I said, “Do you know, when you have diabetes the aging process starts from the inside out?” That is how complications start. High sugar levels are like syrup running through every vessel and every organ of your body twenty-four hours a day. It causes the vessels to harden, and the organs to become less efficient. This results in the aging of the body.
What you should be doing is eating healthier, drinking plenty of water, exercising and taking your medicine as prescribed. Good blood sugar levels are the key to prevent the signs of aging in diabetes.
What are you going to do to prevent the aging process?
