Our greatest problem is underutilization of our ability to read, learn. You learnt to read many years ago.......... in your primary, maybe nursery school yet as you read this post you have never cared to read about what your body organs do -kidney, liver etc needless to say how to keep them healthy, food to eat n what not to eat. My grandma is diabetic she is now in her late 80s n still very healthy because she takes proper care of herself, uses are drrugs n visit the hospital when she should. Many of us have read countless romance novel, celebrities gossips etc yyet we fail to read what is most important - how our bodies function and the best way to keep fit- what an irony. I leave you with this quote, "If we encounter a man of rare intellect, we should find out what books he reads" -Ralph Waldo Emerson Read wisely. |

Nigeria has the highest number of living things in Africa. The population of people with any popular disease should be higher than the entire population of countries such as Togo, Benin, Malawi, EG, Cape Verde etc. The population of the rest of the entire West Africa, including Gabon is 144 million. Nigeria is 175 million. It's only normal that we lead in every natural thing. |

canalily:. Garri has a low glycemic index, meaning it increases your blood sugar slowly and steadily, so your body can handle the glucose, unlike yam that shoots it up rapidly. So there is nothing wrong with garri. Diabetes is not caused by by too much sugar. It's either you're born with it or you acquire it years later after your insulin receptors have been messed up, may be by some chemical imbalance. Ppl who eat badly, especially processed food, have higher chances of developing it. 1 Like |

chiketee: Nobody is born with it,it is purely down to live style,the kind of food you eat a d the way you get rid of it(exercise)Nigerians eat all the wrong food like the poster you quoted said,even though they have all the best food fruits and vegetables nature can provide. Now that the Chinese have come with their poisonous nofflrs and all sorts,it is only going yo get worse. Same with shop rite. Yeah,it could run easily in families,but it is all purely due to lifestyle, avoid the thongs that triggers it,you will be free of it,despite the fact that it could have killed your parents,grand parents or whoever. 1 Like |

redsun:Oga redsun, type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease. Meaning your antibodies attack the B cells of your pancreas and you are unable to produce adequate insulin. You are born with it. Now my point is Garri flour is not bad. It won't cause diabetes. Diabetics are not told to avoid garri. Our soups are quite balanced, so u can't tell me garri and soup is poor diet. Now I agree with you on exercise. Try and read more about diabetes on your spare time |
