We thank God for allowing us to share with you this week of the interaction challenge. On this occasion we dare the task of raising awareness on a particular issue. Today , we started the second week, and what better way to do it with the best spirit. We hope you are enjoying what we have prepared with great care. To develop this contest we will delve into the sugars that we consume daily. ![JvFFVmatwWHRfvmtd53nmEJ94xpKydwmbSC5H5svBACH81cCLHng5SZVzshyDeuiC68U1ux2L3B8TzTh31e1HgQCUjUCYj6rYWC9dqYzz3HBDJGFYqeusFXfqPBvtwRRUgXf9BED7t (2).jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmU71zHJuTGpcN741grjNRy6vhpPsvfFpPa6MLMVU5xjqv/JvFFVmatwWHRfvmtd53nmEJ94xpKydwmbSC5H5svBACH81cCLHng5SZVzshyDeuiC68U1ux2L3B8TzTh31e1HgQCUjUCYj6rYWC9dqYzz3HBDJGFYqeusFXfqPBvtwRRUgXf9BED7t%20(2).jpeg) ### “ The worst enemy, sugar.” --- Most people who are diabetics did not inherit it intentionally but rather it was generated by bad eating habits. Our body needs glucose for metabolism, but processed sugar can be harmful to our health. There are two types of diabetes, type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. The first is inherited from the ancestors but the second is due to damage to some cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. When we damage the cells that produce insulin, our body will not be able to fully metabolize them. It is there where type 2 diabetes originates, an excess in the consumption of sugar can work the pancreas more than normal, causing physiopathological wear. ![JvFFVmatwWHRfvmtd53nmEJ94xpKydwmbSC5H5svBACH81cCLHng5SZVzshyDeuiC68U1ux2L3B8TzTh31e1HgQCUjUCYj6rYWC9dqYzz3HBDJGFYqeusFXfqPBvtwRRUgXf9BED7t (2).jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmU71zHJuTGpcN741grjNRy6vhpPsvfFpPa6MLMVU5xjqv/JvFFVmatwWHRfvmtd53nmEJ94xpKydwmbSC5H5svBACH81cCLHng5SZVzshyDeuiC68U1ux2L3B8TzTh31e1HgQCUjUCYj6rYWC9dqYzz3HBDJGFYqeusFXfqPBvtwRRUgXf9BED7t%20(2).jpeg) ### What do we expect from the Challenge? ---- As in the beginning, we said that sugar might not be necessary for our body, today we want you to answer the following questions based on your experience.
