What is Type 2 Diabetes All About?
Posted by admin in Prescription Diabetes Drugs on June 22nd, 2010
There are effective ways for lowering your risk for type 2 diabetes, even though it runs in your family. I’m sure you have heard it all before but the answer is healthy lifestyle choices. Why healthy lifestyle choices? Because, although genetics plays a part in this condition developing, it does not develop unless you fall into a pattern of overeating, or eating foods that increase your waistline and your body mass index.
How does it all start? Often in childhood life is all about food… you were rewarded with sweets and snacks, maybe given money to spend after school to buy a treat which contained carbohydrates. Often a carbohydrate addiction starts that far back. And just think about your Mother’s cooking… meatballs fried in oil, delicious meals every day. Then one day it all catches up.
It seems to happen overnight… your clothes no longer fit as they once did, they are now too tight. Some people find they need to start wearing “fat person” clothes.
Time to change! One day obesity gets to you… maybe its when you take snacks to bed at night; snacks to eat during the middle of the night when you wake up hungry with hypoglycemia or low blood sugar levels.
At this time many overweight or obese people go on a diet and manage to lose weight. Unfortunately they do not exercise and they then lose muscle mass.
What should you do? Here is where the phrase healthy lifestyle comes into play. But firstly, it is important to:
1. Learn all you can about the root causes of your pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes, identify your challenges.
2. Learn which medications work in combination with others… if medications are prescribed they are an important part of your program.
3. Keeping in mind your health issues, build an effective eating plan… diet is the cornerstone of control of your blood sugar levels and type 2 diabetes
4. Understand why you need to exercise and work out a proper routine. Almost every study shows that exercise is to the advantage to people with type 2 diabetes
A different approach to life will lead to weight loss and will make a difference to lowering your risk of type 2 diabetes and give you a healthy lifestyle.
