    Diabetes – Keep the disease at bay

    If you suffer from diabetes, you human body does not produce enough of a hormone called insulin, or you human body does not use the hormone it has in the proper way. Insulin helps the human body use sugar (glucose) for energy. Left untreated, diabetes can cause blindness, neurological disorders and blood vessel damage that brings on foot or leg amputation, heart attack, stroke, kidney failure and death. There are two types of diabetes. Type 1 is observed when the human body does not produce insulin at all. People suffering from type 2 diabetes either are deficient in insulin, or their cells ignore the insulin they have. About 95% of people with diabetes have type 2 diabetes. This is sometimes also called "adult-onset" diabetes. BE WELL-AWARE OF RISK FACTORS If you gave birth to a baby that weighed more than nine pounds and/or if you had gestational diabetes when you were pregnant, you are also at risk of developing diabetes. People over the age of 45 are also at higher risk. You are at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes, if members of your family had or are having it. Type 2 diabetes is much more often observed in African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, Asian Americans or Pacific Americans. If you have one or more the risk factors listed above, your physician may want to begin regular diabetes examination. The earlier you find out you have diabetes, the more you and your medical practitioner can do to insure you stay healthy. CHANGES ARE TO BE DONE Unfortunately, you cannot do anything to change your age, ethnicity or family history, but there are a few risk factors you can take control of. Your diabetes risk also heightens, if you are overweight, you do not exercise on a regular basis and/or you have an unhealthy diet. If you are aware that you are at higher risk, making proper choices about what you eat and physical activity can help you stay healthy. In fact, studies have demonstrated that consuming a healthy food and doing exercise can prevent or deter type 2 diabetes. If you are corpulent, keep in mind that obesity is the single most crucial risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Between 80% and 90% of people with diabetes are fat. Losing weight and keeping it off can help preclude diabetes. Consume a variety of foods, including those that are rich in fiber. Also, watch your portion. Keep in mind that any amount of exercise is better than none. Ride an exercise bicycle while watching the evening news or your favorite series. Most of all, insure you find an activity you like, so you will stick with it. Thus, eating right and taking exercise are the keys to achieving and sustaining a healthy weight.
