WHAT NOBODY TELLS YOU ABOUT DIABETES IN GENERAL TO THE HEALTH MATTERS.
Diabetes is a diseases in which your blood glucose or blood sugar levels are too high. On the other hand diabetes is diagnosed when the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin, or the produced insulin is not sufficient for the cells and the body cannot use the insulin effectively. Insulin refers to a hormone that regulates blood sugar within the body.
Let me say…
Diabetes mellitus is characterized into three main types:
Type 1 Diabetes, Type 2 Diabetes and Gestational Diabetes (GDM).
Whereby type 1 diabetes produce little or no insulin at all
Type 2 diabetes involve body inability of using insulin effectively and gestational affects more woman during pregnancy.
Listen …
The idea that only overweight people develop diabetes was largely believed by many people.
But I can say Diabetes can attack anyone, regardless of any economic status they may have.
According to American diabetes Association reported that, being overweight and obese is definitely a risk factor for the development of diabetes so weight is one of risk factor among many factors like Age, Genetic and Ethics.
Shocked?
Listen…
You may develop type 2 diabetes if your genes became exposed to environmental toxins or chemical. Sometimes your body polluted with methane, carbon monoxide, vehicle emissions chemicals and trace amounts of tobacco smoke all these excessive toxic deposit weaken you’re immune system without you knowing.
Do you get what I am saying!
Most people believed that you can get diabetes from too much sugar intake, of course that is wrong! Guess why?
Because sugar can only play a role if you’re already diabetic.
You see, as food enters in the body it turns sugar into glucose therefore you need to consider the intake of carbohydrates foods.
Mind you, if excess carbohydrates foods fail to be transformed into glucose and your body does not utilize them, remain carbohydrates will accumulate in form of fat making the body obese.
Remember being obese make your body to insulin resistance as one of risk factor for you to be diabetic.
I can say, the factor that affects blood glucose is the quantity of the carbohydrate or sugar consumed, and not the type of carbohydrate itself.
Yet, it has been reported that Sugars are carbohydrates, and acts as an empty food because it provides you only with energy and other nutrients.
Now, I can hear your brain asking “Do I need to eat special diet”.
Believe me or not…
There is a solution to whatever you’ve questioned in mind.
Let me say there no special diet to follow for diabetic person, though the quantity of the constituents within the food is what actually matters.
So, in order to prevent yourself from health problems caused by poor diet intake consider healthy diet intake all the time .Remember a healthy diet consist of fruits, vegetables, adequate amino acids from protein, essential healthy good fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, fiber and adequate calories.
You might be think “Who are at risk of gestational diabetes”
According to Mayo clinic reported that gestational diabetes develops during pregnancy and affects how your cells use sugar (glucose). During pregnancy, the placenta which connects your baby to your blood supply, produces high levels of various other hormones as your baby grows, the placenta produce more and more insulin counteracting hormones.
Keep in mind that high blood sugar affect your pregnancy and your baby’s health. And of course you can control gestational diabetes by eating healthy foods and exercising.
Consider regularly blood sugar level checkup during the last 3 months of pregnancy to monitor your blood sugar level and your baby’s health. “How do I know am at risk of gestational diabetes” here are the risks factors:being a woman 25 of age, if your family member has type 2 diabetes you’re likely to develop gestational diabetes. And if you’re overweight with a bod mass index of 30 higher.
Lastly if you’re diabetic, you may ask yourself “Am I eligible to donate blood.” Here’s are the shocking facts about it;
Listen…
I know you’ve experience a myths that any diabetic person is not qualified in blood donation because can affect other person and also after donation he or she will experience health problems.
But, let me say diabetes cannot be transferred easily to another person through blood.
Though it has been reported by American Red Cross that if you want to donate, consider about health consequences and this should be observed closely with your doctor.
Look…
And after donating you need to closely monitor your blood sugar levels and re –nourish your body with more iron –rich foods intake and fluids.
Mind you to be a qualified donor the only factor that will be observed is the source of your insulin.
