Type-2 Diabetes is the result of many years of poor nutrition and a lack of physical activity. The body is designed to consume food and break it down in the digestive track. As this happens the food turns into glucose which circulates through the blood. This is inherently not a bad thing as we need glucose but we don’t want too much in our blood at any given time. Insulin works to regulate blood sugar and keep blood sugar levels in check.

As previously stated diabetes becomes a problem when your diet is poor. This happens generally speaking because your body slowly becomes resistant to normal insulin levels. As you eat foods which have little nutritional value your blood sugar levels begin spiking and your system requires more and more insulin to manage healthy levels of insulin. In effect you body loses it’s sensitivity to insulin and becomes resistant to it.

To ensure that your condition doesn’t progress it is very important to recognize poor insulin sensitivity and then work to reverse insulin resistance by changing your diet and starting to exercise more often. The problem most people face with this however is that they don’t want to change their lifestyles to address their issues with insulin sensitivity.

What they don’t realize however is that by letting the condition progress unchecked will likely result in developing diabetes which is many times over more problematic. Diabetes will force a lifestyle change as insulin injections become part of your daily life. Without enough insulin you could lose control of your blood sugar levels and be hospitalized or worse.

Insulin sensitivity is the first major warning sign for diabetes so take it seriously. If you have blood drawn and find elevated blood sugar levels or elevated insulin levels then you may need to start taking action. Changing your diet can help improve insulin sensitivity as can exercising frequently, do both and you’ll be much better off in the long run and will stand a much better chance at avoiding failing health as you get older.
