What is Type 2 diabetes?
Diabetes is a problem with your body that causes blood glucose (sugar) levels to rise higher than normal. There is both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. The most common (90%) diabetes is Type 2. If you have type 2 diabetes your body does not use insulin properly. This is called insulin resistance. At first, your pancreas makes extra insulin to make up for it. But, over time it isn't able to keep up and can't make enough insulin to keep your blood glucose at normal levels. Also, there contains a problem that the cells and insulin don't work with each other. Insulin cannot enter the cells and unlock the glucose hatch because of a problem in the activity of the insulin hormone.
Basic Recommendations and Treatment for a Diabetic-
Treatment typically includes diet control, exercise, home blood glucose testing, and in some cases, oral medication and/or insulin. Approximately 40 percent of people with type 2 diabetes require insulin injections.
Can Diabetes Be Prevented ?
A number of studies have shown that regular physical activity can significantly reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is also associated with obesity.People who constantly excercise and look fit may also get Type 2 diabetes because of their poor diet.
Is There a Cure for Diabetes?
As of now, there is no exact, or magical cure that will take diabetes away from peole who have it. But the heallth department is constantly working on ways to cure diabetes. People with diabetes should constantly follow their recommendations for excercise and diet to naturally treat themselves.
Having High Blood Pressure-
High blood pressure (hypertension) is another associated complication of type 2 diabetes. This condition causes your heart to work harder by pumping blood more forcefully. Occasional changes in blood pressure are normal. But hypertension develops when these changes happen consistently over a long period of time. High blood pressure can lead to life-threatening conditions like:
--heart attack
--stroke
--heart failure
Just keep excercising and you will have a healthy heart!!!
