A Primer On Type 2 Diabetes

Article Category: Wellness, Fitness and Diet

Author Name: Henry Fong

Adult onset diabetes, also known as Type 2 diabetes, is normally diagnosed in adults over the age of 45. However, it can begin at any age, and the increase of Type 2 diabetes in children has alarmed many health care officials. Unlike juvenile onset diabetes, Type 2 diabetes seldom requires insulin injections. Instead, it is normally managed through a program of diet, exercise, and, if needed, oral medications.

At present, diabetes can only be managed, not cured. It occurs when the body either fails to secrete insulin or when it cannot manage the insulin produced. Insulin eliminates glucose from the blood and stores it in special cells, where it can be burned for energy. If it is allowed to build up in the blood, the liver and kidneys can be damaged. A feeling of being tired all the time can also be present, since the body cannot burn sugar for energy.

While diabetes may be totally asymptomatic, some people experience symptoms but do not connect them to a potential diabetic condition. Some symptoms that may signal diabetes are unintentional weight loss, despite increased hunger, and excessive thirst. The need to urinate often, to the point that sleep is disturbed, may be present. With higher blood sugar levels, vision may be affected, and there may be a tingling or numbness in the feet or hands.

Complications from diabetes may include kidney failure and nerve damage, particularly in the feet and legs. In addition, diabetes increases the patient's risk for stroke, heart attack, and atherosclerosis. There is also some evidence that it may also be a contributing factor in some forms of dementia.

Being overweight is one risk factor for developing Type 2 diabetes. Patients with the condition, or those who are borderline, should try to reduce their body weight. Exercise is not only beneficial to weight loss, but increased cardiovascular activity also helps to control blood sugar levels.

A proper diet is the most critical factor under the patient's control Diabetics should try to eat at the same time. In addition, the same ratio between carbohydrates and proteins should be maintained, and the same amounts of food should be consumed at each meal.

A proper diabetic diet does not need to be costly. Some of the best foods for those with diabetes are also some of the least expensive. These include beans, oatmeal, and barley. Tomatoes and citrus fruits are recommended, as are leafy green vegetables, such as spinach. Dairy products such as milk and yogurt are good choices, but only if the fat free versions are chosen. Sugars should be eaten sparingly, and with prior planning by the reduction of other carbohydrates in the same meal.

A diabetic needs to have a good relationship with his or her doctor, and willing to listen to his advice. Making dietary adjustments and increasing exercise will usually be needed for effective blood sugar control. But if this is done, the risk of complications can usually be dramatically reduced.
