The Causes and Control of Diabetes

What is Diabetes Mellitus?
Diabetes mellitus is a condition of instable metabolism, normally happens due to the combined effect of genetic and environmental reasons. It results in unusually “high blood-sugar” levels. This disease group causes hyperglycemia, or “high blood glucose” levels because of defective insulin secretion in our body. The main cause of this disease is low insulin levels, or reduced insulin production in the body.
At the present day, in America itself, we have a minimum of twenty million people living with this disease. And the only reason for this sadly is lack of will. The reason behind such a statement is that the prevention and healing of “pre-diabetes” and diabetes type 2 is completely achievable. The simple way out is completely basic, a “balanced diet” followed by “basic workouts”.
Study suggests that a person running at a risk of getting the disease can reduce the chances by a whooping sixty percent just by reducing only ten pounds by following a proper diet, with regular workouts.
Let’s have a look at the different stages of the disease.
Pre Diabetes
“Pre-diabetes”: is the condition where a person is at the verge of getting the “Type 2 Diabetes” along with the risk of getting heart disease. The good news however, is that a pre-diabetic condition can be overcome and even get back to the normal blood sugar level, by following a regulated proper lifestyle.
“The Type 2 diabetic” stage: previously known as the “adult-onset” diabetes, is the frequent most form of the disease. It starts with “insulin-resistance”- here the body fails to properly use the insulin. A person can develop this disease at any stage of life, as it is completely lifestyle driven, junk foods, with no exercise, and of course to add it all, excess stress.
Common Medication
Common medications include a daily dose of “aspirin”, along with keeping the BP at bay by the help of prescription drugs.
However, a moderate amount of physical activity such as jogging, and running, can easily delay the effects and even prevent them.
Strength Training
Strength training has been reported to have a miraculous effect on blood glucose level. Research shows a 23 percent raise in blood glucose intake, which followed just four months of strength training.
Intake of Food
Food intake plays a large part in favor and against this disease. A small and frequent amount of meals including moderate protein levels helping in maintaining muscle mass and energy levels goes a long way in fighting the disease. Regular vitamin and minerals should be consumed regularly for better results.
