What is Onset Diabetes?
Onset Diabetes, otherwise known as Type 2 Diabetes, is when you have high levels of sugar (glucose) in the bloodstream which spills over into the urine. Most times diabetes is associated with high amounts of carbohydrates in the diet.
Of all the non-insulin dependent diabetics, 90% can be “cured” by achieving their ideal weight and maintaining healthy eating habits.
What are the symptoms of diabetes?
- blurry vision
- increased tiredness or fatigue
- slow healing of wounds or infection
- increasingly high thirst
- frequent need to urinate
- increase in appetite
- impotence
How do they test for diabetes?
Your doctor will test you for diabetes by checking your blood sugar (glucose) level through a sample of your blood. If your blood sugar level is above 126, the doctor will ask you to come back for a re-test. If the second time your blood sugar level is above 126, your diagnosis will most likely be diabetes. A blood sugar that immediately comes back above 200 will instantly be labeled onset diabetes.
How can I Avoid Diabetes?
Prevention is always the best way to avoid any disease. But with onset diabetes, watching what you eat as well as exercising is the best way to control this deadly disease.
A diet with very little or no sugar and complex carbohydrates is best. Some examples of foods to avoid would be candy, boxed cereal, alcohol, soda/pop, pizza, ice cream, cookies, white bread (whole wheat is the best choice) and honey.
Try to stay away from pastries, pasta and sugary drinks. Although you can have these in moderation, it is best to avoid them altogether.
