Hispanics in the modern day are the most likely to not be uninsured. It is most
probable that the cause of their numbers is not because they do not know how to
use the technology or that they may not understand the language. The most
probable cause may be that they do not know how to fill up the application. The
Spanish version in many places has been done poorly and even when searching for
insurance many Hispanics still do not enroll in any plan.

Obesity is a big problem in America and the prevalence is high in Hispanics
compared to other non-Hispanic whites. Likewise, diabetes is very common
throughout those who are Hispanic. Diabetes, as harmless as it may sound can lead
to many costly things. Diabetes can be tied to cardiovascular disease and other
complications. Such effects have been costly. Hispanics are also the least likely to
have insurance. Health care provider availability and awareness must be raised in
order to help prevent and treat diabetes through Hispanics.

Diabetes has a very widespread fame in Hispanics. Compared to white people,
Hispanics have a higher death rate from diabetes. Diabetes is first detected when
they find one to have pre-diabetes. Nevertheless, when knowing that one may have
pre-diabetes, diets and exercise can help avoid having such a state. Being
overweight, having history of diabetes in ones family, high blood pressure, not
exercising, having gestational diabetes or giving birth to a baby that weights more
than nine pounds can make one more likely to have diabetes. Nevertheless, by
exercising and changing ones lifestyle one can change this.

When someone has diabetes, excess sugar is accumulated in the blood and urine.
There are two types, type 1 is attained when one is younger. When someone has
type 1 diabetes, the persons body stops producing insulin. In type two diabetes not
enough insulin is produced or the insulin does not affect the body in the desired
fashion. There is also gestational diabetes- such diabetes causes a rise inblood
sugar and is acquired when going through pregnancy. There are symptoms to such
state and probable consequences. The overall treatment can be as easy as a
change of diet and a little excersice and can be easily controlled.

People who have problems with diabetes should look for alternative ways to control
their state rather than following CDC guidelines. People with diabetes can actually
improve their state by eating fat. Fat in these days has developed a bad reference.
However, it does not contain carbohydrates and it does very well satisfy people.
There are many alternatives that a diabetic can take in order to still eat what they
most love. No-fat and whole grain foods are not our best friends all the time.

Hispanics have a prevalence in diabetes that is higher than most. Nevertheless,
Mexicans have the highest prevalence. To group all Hispanics together is too

general. The thing that is most surprising is that Mexicans live for a long time even
when having diabetes has lead them to many surgeries concerning the circulatory
system. Something that also affects Mexicans in developing diabetes is that most
have no health insurance.

Diabetes prevalence through Hispanics and Latinos is very close. However, out of all
groups the highest in 2014 was the one regarding Mexicans. Some of the most
shocking things about the research among this group shows that they are more
likely to have diabetes when they have lived for longer in the United States. Another
thing that makes them more exposed to have diabetes is their age. Most Hispanics
do not have insurance. Nevertheless, those who are 65 or older and who have
access to insurance control their state better than those without it.
