Truth About Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes is one of the most prevalent diseases across the globe. The number of new cases being diagnosed each and every year makes it more of an epidemic than just a mere disease. The fact that more and more young adults are developing diabetes is even more shocking. But even with so much publicity being focused on diabetes there are still many things that most people might not know about the condition. Here are some common myths associated with Type 2 diabetes: 1. Only overweight people get diabetes. While many of the diabetics in the world are overweight or obese, it does not mean that they are the only ones prone to the disease. There are many people who are at their ideal body weight and still develop the condition. How? Because, although there are many factors associated with excess weight which can foster in diabetes, there are also other factors which are not directly related to being overweight. Genetics is one. 2. If people don't eat too much sugar, they won't get diabetes. The truth is that diabetes is much more complicated than that. Diabetes is usually brought on by lifestyle choices. It's true that people who do not eat a balanced diet and instead opt for foods which are higher in sugar, fat, carbs and calories, are more likely to develop Type 2 diabetes. But although sugar consumption does have something to do with it, it is only a small piece of the overall picture. 3. If your parents are diabetic, so will their children be. Although the likelihood of becoming diabetic is dramatically increased if a parent is diabetic, it is not a sure way to determine its likelihood. Parents can be diabetic without the child also becoming diabetic... as long as the child adopts a healthier lifestyle. 4. Diabetes is for life. Diabetes can be reversed and even completely eliminated in many cases. 5. Having pre-diabetes means you will have Type 2 diabetes one day. Having pre-diabetes should be meant as a warning and nothing more. It means your blood sugar levels are higher than what is considered to be normal but they haven't progressed into the range of being considered a full-blown Type 2

diabetic... at least not yet. The bad news is... if you do not make lifestyle changes, pre-diabetes is the last step before developing diabetes. The good news is you can use this as an indication changes need to be made... and now. Type 2 diabetes is not a condition you must just live with. By making easy changes to your daily routine, its possible to protect your heart, kidneys, eyes and limbs from the damage often caused by diabetes, and eliminate some of the complications you may already experience.

4 Common Symptoms of Diabetes

Diabetes is a condition which develops when your body's insulin (a hormone that helps convert blood sugar/glucose into energy) production becomes inhibited. This has a knock effect on your blood sugar levels which increase due to this lack of insulin. However, the associated symptoms are often difficult to identify. A lot of the time the symptoms are so mild that they are not noticed and in other cases the symptoms take years to develop. In this article I will be discussing four of the top diabetes symptoms that you should look out for. 1) HYPERGLYCAEMIA:- Hyperglycaemia refers to higher than normal blood sugar levels which in most cases are brought about by the lack of insulin in a diabetic person's body. Insulin usually works as a control mechanism and keeps blood sugar within a normal range (around 80 milligrams per decilitre to 110 mg/dL). Without insulin blood sugar levels can consistently become higher than normal and in diabetics persistent hyperglycaemia is common. Blood sugar levels are said to be hyperglycaemic if they are consistently above 126 mg/dL. With persistent hyperglycaemia comes a number of symptoms which include: - Blurred Vision. - Constant Thirst. - Frequent Urges to Urinate.

- Hunger Pangs. - Persistent Weakness/Tiredness. Hyperglycaemia does require your attention. Insulin injections can be used for mild occurrences but more severe occurrences may require medical treatment. 2) HYPOGLYCAEMIA:- Hypoglycaemia refers to lower than normal blood sugar levels. It can be brought about by not eating enough calories on a day to day basis, not consuming enough calories post exercise and excessive alcohol consumption. Although hypoglycaemia can affect all diabetics it is most common in type 1 diabetics when they inject too much insulin. The symptoms of hypoglycaemia include: - Blurred Vision. - Dizziness. - Hunger Pangs. - Shaking. - Sweating. Like hyperglycaemia, hypoglycaemia will require your attention. Mild occurrences can usually be overcome by eating 10g - 20g of sugar or consuming glucose tablets. However, more serious hypoglycaemia will require glucagon to be injected via paramedics. 3) DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS (DKA):- When your body fails to convert blood sugar into energy it starts to use fat and muscle for energy instead. The breakdown of fat causes ketones (fatty acids) to be released into the bloodstream and over time these build up and lead to the onset of DKA. DKA is most prevalent in type 1 diabetics and is usually brought about by a lack of insulin which prevents your body from getting adequate energy from the available blood sugar.

However, it can also be linked with illness and infection. The symptoms of DKA include: - Abdominal Pain. - Fruity Smelling Breath. - Dry Skin. - Vomiting. DKA is one of the more serious symptoms of diabetes and will require immediate medical attention. In the worst cases it can be fatal. 4) HYPEROSMOTIC NON-KETOTIC ACIDOSIS (HONK):- HONK is most prevalent in type 2 diabetics. It occurs when the body responds to the high levels of blood sugar by passing additional urine. This can then lead to extreme dehydration and HONK for which the symptoms include: - Dry Skin. - Excessive Thirst (which does not disappear following fluid consumption). - Fevers. Like with DKA, HONK is very serious condition and requires proper medical attention right away. I hope this article helps you identify the often elusive symptoms of diabetes. The symptoms can range from the mild (which are normally self treatable) to the serious (which usually require professional medical assistance). However, remember that the symptoms are only an indicator of diabetes. For the best results you should go and book yourself in for an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible and get yourself tested for diabetes.

Foods To Avoid For Diabetics

When the cells of the human pancreas dont generate insulin, it creates Diabetes mellitus. Actually, insulin is useful to split sugar into a form in blood that body can efficiently store and apply to produce energy later. This disease compels you to forget some foods and it demands your diet to be something that is high in soluble fibers and low in saturated fats. A doctor can advice such a patient to consume less carbohydrate products because it might contain high glycemic index. The rapid increase of this disease has pressed food, beverage, and pharmaceutical companies to make products considering the need of such patients. Its also true that the doctors often prescribe not to buy such products at random and the products are often very costly as well. Such products might contain more fats and may be that the products just dont have anything that can be help you. If you want to keep your blood glucose levels in control, a slight change in your food habit can be the best option. Being a new patient of this disease, doctor may advice you to collaborate with a dietitian or nutritionist, who can endow you with a proper meal and snack plan. You might need to calculate your carbohydrates by pointing out your eating of sugary or starchy foods. Then, you have to adopt new food habit. The prescription usually suggests the consumption of whole grains and starchy vegetables as the main part of your meal. It demands you to eat a minimum of two servings of fresh fruits and vegetables daily. The prescription then states to have proteins available in lean meat, legumes, and cheese. You must consume them in smaller quantities. A slight amount of non-fat or low-fat dairy is fine but it shouldnt cross the limit for it has fats and sugars.

This is a general prescription. To have a perfect diet for your diabetic case, please consult with a dietitian or nutritionist. Try to consume proper foods but you must also avoid foods such as very salty ones. This is so because high blood pressure is something common in such patients. Not only consumption of fats causes high blood pressure, sodium is largely responsible for this. To avoid this problem, either lessen the salt in your food or buy non-sodium or low sodium salt replacements. Also, avoid foods like crackers, chips, processed or conserved meet products, or canned foods like sardines or soups because they contain extra sodium and salt. Fats can be really harmful. Cardiovascular diseases often follow diabetic cases. So, avoid dairy products, solid vegetable fats, and butter because they have saturated fats. Before chicken preparation, get the skin off. Also, strive to avoid butter and margarine. Oils obtain from canola or olive can be good. Choose skimmed, low-fat, or non-fat milk, cheese, and yogurt than full cream products. Avoid fried foods and rather boil and bake or simply broil it. Alcoholic products are not good in such cases. Such food habit is not really difficult provided you have the patience to change.

Can You Reverse And Even Cure Diabetes?

I was checking in on Facebook, and was thrilled to catch up with old friends from high school. It brought back lots of great memories of very good times. People had scattered all over the country, and were in every imaginable line of work. But one day I noticed a friend posting about her husband, and the journey she was going through with him. I looked back at the beginning of her posts, to see where this all started. It seemed to go back about a year, when he was hospitalized for diabetic related issues. As I read the posts and watched the progression of just how horrible this disease is. At the point where I came in, he had already lost a foot and part of his leg. He would be sent home, and then go back after another complication. This went on for about a year, with rally's of getting better, and then would need to go back when something else went wrong.

It was very hard to read and imagine what they were going through. I followed my friend as she supported her husband until his ultimate death. 1 out of every 4 Americans has some form of diabetes or pre-diabetes. This is a very scary fact, especially realizing that Type 2 Diabetes is completely a disease of lifestyle. The way we eat and the sedentary lifestyles we lead today is the major cause of this epidemic. But there is some great news here! I have been researching what can be done about a diabetes diagnosis, and I am thrilled to say that Type 2 Diabetes has been reversed in many people, without the use of medication. We have to understand that the body is an amazing healing machine. Given the right circumstances, it can heal itself of almost anything... Medications are given to "manage symptoms". What we really want is the reversal. I had no idea that diabetes could be cured... also heart disease, and many other illnesses. I watched a movie called "Raw for 30", where a number of people went to a health and wellness facility. Under the supervision of Dr Gabriel Cousens, most leave there without their medications and with normal blood sugar levels. To say the least they left there with a "new lease on life". There are 2 types of diabetes... Type 1, which basically is that your body does not produce insulin, or in very small amounts. Type 2, much more common, is your bodies' inability to use the insulin effectively, to remove sucrose from the blood and nourish the cells with energy. Our body is a "system", so it is hard to treat one thing without getting great effects throughout your whole body.. Following the guidelines for a plan that works on reversing diabetes, will also help with heart disease, cancer prevention, high blood pressure, arthritis, and it just keeps getting better There is no "miracle", "Silver Bullet" cure... but armed with the newest cutting edge research and information, many have reversed their diabetes, and have been able to throw away their medications!

Some great foods to add to your diet are cinnamon, lemon, grapefruit, tomato, avocado, and almonds. And Another great side benefit is: WEIGHT LOSS!! This just keeps getting better and better!
