In the Americas region, it is the sixth leading cause of death and the seventh leading cause of prematurely lost years of life.
The burden of disease associated with diabetes is enormous and growing: in just 20 years mortality from diabetes increased by 70% worldwide, according to the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO).
Today, November 14, is world diabetes day which is celebrated to raise awareness among the population about the impact this disease has on society.
PAHO calls for the need to strengthen access to education in quality diabetes for both the healthcare team and people living with diabetes, their carers and society in general.
Food is essential to maintaining the health of people suffering from it stateDiabetes occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body does not effectively use the insulin it does produce.
At this point, experts remember the role of consumption of dairy products in people suffering from diabetes.
“Because of the high content calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, whey protein and specific fatty acids, it is suggested that the consumption of dairy products reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes,” says nutritionist Francisco Herrera Morales.
According to several scientific studies, total consumption of dairy products is significantly associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes.
Dairy products such as whole milk, skim milk, low-fat yogurt, low-fat ice cream with no added sugar or low-fat cheese are low- or medium-GI foods that are allowed in the diet of people with diabetes.
Research in the region that assesses people’s knowledge about the consumption of dairy products in relation to diabetes, showed that the older the interviewed people were, the less aware they were of the type of diabetes they had.
Furthermore, people are not aware of the benefits that dairy products provide in a healthy diet, and even less in the preventive treatment of diabetes, repeats the nutritionist from Productos Nevada.
American Association Diabetes and the Ministry of Agriculture from the United States claim that milk is healthy for people with diabetes.
