Diabetes is a condition where blood glucose (sugar)levels are poorly controlled. Latest figures show that over 2 million people in the UK have diabetes, and an estimated 1 million people are undiagnosed and don’t realize they have diabetes.
If you’ re living with diabetes you need to reduce your risk of developing associated diseases such as coronary heart disease, kidney and eye disease. This means losing weight, keeping your blood pressure and blood glucose as near normal as possible and having your cholesterol and tri - glycerides checked regularly.
By choosing to eat a healthy balanced diet you’ll already have started to manage diabetes by helping to control your blood glucose levels, blood fats and blood pressure. It will also help to regulate your weight. Even small weight losses lead to surprisingly big reductions in the risk of diabetes and will also reduce your risk of heart disease, high blood pressure and stroke. Finding the balance between the amount of carbohydrates and fat is important. Cut down on the amount of fat you eat - particularly saturated (animal)fats, as this type of fat is linked to heart disease. Choose monounsaturated fats, e. g. olive oil and rapeseed oil. Aim to eat a portion of oily fish at least twice a week. Eat regular meals based on starchy carbohydrate foods - such as bread, pasta, chapattis, potatoes, yam, noodles, rice and cereals. Include plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Whatever your weight, being fit and active reduces your risk of diabetes. Physical activity, when combined with a healthy balanced diet, will help you to manage your diabetes and prevent long - term complications.
In recent years great strides have been made in the treatment of diabetes, but no one can deny the impact a diagnosis of diabetes can have on individuals. It’ s important that you begin to make these changes to your diet as soon as you’ re diagnosed. Managing diabetes is a daily challenge and carries its own health risks, especially the increased likelihood of heart disease.
Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage

A:Being fit and active reduces your risk of diabetes. B:In recent years great strides have been made in the treatment of diabetes, so we can deny the impact a diagnosis can have on individuals. C:Begin to make these changes to your diet as soon as you’ re diagnosed. D:Physical activity will help you to manage your diabetes.
