A new report from a team of researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention together with American Diabetes Association has disclosed that sugar consumption is the actual reason for the worse condition of type 2 diabetes patients.

It has been found that sugar is the main cause of high risks of diabetes or sufferers of diabetes. As per CDC reports, 8.3 % people in the US have been suffering from one of the two types of diabetes i. e. type 1 and type 2. Amongst these, more than 90% have been going through type 2 diabetes.

According to the team of researchers, diabetes does not let the body of patients make enough of the hormone insulin. Also, it sometimes does not let the hormone work properly. It has been told by the team that the occurrence of such condition causes sugar to build in the blood, thereby causing damage of nerves and blood vessels.

The team has also revealed that complexities in diabetes patients can lead them to suffer from nerve damage, heart attacks, blindness or kidney failure. Thus, it has been suggested by the team that people with symptoms like hunger, fatigue, frequent urination and blurry vision should consult doctors as earlier as possible. They have told that ignorance of the same and certain other factors like family history, obesity and inactivity could raise the risk of type 2 diabetes in a person.

Though, there is no particular diet that could help patients of type 2 to keep well. While some report well with consumption of lower-fat diet, the others report the same with lower-carb diet. "People need to do what works for them. One thing that helps in keeping blood sugar under control is losing weight, even as little as 5% to 10% of body weight", suggests Stephanie Dunbar, Director of nutrition and medical affairs for the Association.
