American Diabetes Association Alert Day

As a person who was diagnosed over a year ago with type 2 diabetes I felt it was important to share this valuable information. It could help someone who may not know facts about Diabetes. 

What is Diabetes? A group of diseases that result in too much sugar in the blood, or high blood glucose.

Most common types

• Type 2 diabetes
  

  A chronic condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar (glucose).
• Type 1 diabetes
  

  A chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin.
• Prediabetes
  

  A condition in which blood sugar is high, but not high enough to be type 2 diabetes.
• Gestational diabetes
  

  A form of high blood sugar affecting pregnant women.

Although there is a simple way to get rid of type 2 diabetes even in a natural way, like with basic exercise and a balanced nutrition, there are  20 mil. people today in America who live with this kind of  disease.

The percent of people who can get this disease drops down for an amazing 60%, if only people would have been able to lose 10 lb by a means of healthy diet or regular every day exercises such as walking or running.

Pre-Diabetes

The term pre-diabetes is referring to a risk of getting type 2 diabetes or even a heart disease. The positive thing here is that when you have this kind of a disease you can return glucose levels in your blood to normal and with this prevent getting a type 2 diabetes if you hold on to  our guidelines here.

Type 2 Diabetes

The previous name of this disease was adult onset diabetes, and it represents the most commonly spread type of diabetes. The primary symptom of this disease is resistance of insulin, when your body can’t act properly to insulin intake. There is no certain age for getting this disease because it is associated  nowadays  with dynamic lifestyle with intake of fast-food, a big level of stress and low or no amounts of exercise.

The chances for developing a type 2 diabetes are increasing highly with low body activity and high weight. Traditional ways for treating  this disease today are the proper diabetes medicines, daily consummation of aspirin, and regular controlling of  cholesterol levels in the blood or blood pressure often with some prescribed drugs.

Even a medium level of physical activity can prevent the chances of getting type 2 diabetes and provide continuation of your normal life.

Diagnosing Diabetes and Learning About Prediabetes

There are several ways to diagnose diabetes. Each way usually needs to be repeated on a second day to diagnose diabetes.
Testing should be carried out in a health care setting (such as your doctor’s office or a lab). If your doctor determines that your blood glucose level is very high, or if you have classic symptoms of high blood glucose in addition to one positive test, your doctor may not require a second test to diagnose diabetes.

If you feel that you are at risk for diabetes or are a prediabetic please have your doctor test you. Early detection can help you and possibly save your life. Remember proper diet and exercise will lower the risk of you getting diabetes.
