Diabetes is a disease that affects how the body converts food to energy. In PR, diabetes is the third most common cause of death. It manifests as Type I (juvenile) or Type II (adult) diabetes. The diagnosis is established by blood tests and the treatment is based on a healthy diet, low in fat and carbohydrates, monitoring and control of blood sugar (glycemia).
