Fruits could reduce symptoms of diabetes

When a person shows the symptoms of diabetes, he/she should check his/her family history. If any of the parents had diabetes, their children should check regularly with their family doctor even though they didn't exhibit the symptoms of diabetes. This is because diabetes is one of the diseases that can be inherited from the parents. Early screening and early intervention will help minimize damage to vital organs of the diabetes patient.

Note! Exercise lowers blood glucose levels without medication as well as reduces stress, lowers cholesterol and blood pressure, and helps weight loss. It is recommended that you get at least 20-30 minutes of continuous exercise 3 to 5 times a week for the best results. Research now shows that any increase in physical activity will help to improve health. Start out slow and choose activities that you enjoy.

Many people do not know that they have diabetes because the symptoms of diabetes are vague. The lists below are some of the symptoms of diabetes:

feeling thirsty and hunger constantly
need to urinate frequently, especially at night
loosing eyesight or vision
always feels tired or exhausted
suddenly loose weight
cuts and injuries that is slow to heal
hand and feet have a numb or tingling feeling
keeps getting gum, skin or bladder infection.

Some people may not notice these symptoms of diabetes because they thought there is another reason for it. For example, he may think that his frequent urination is because he is drinking lots water due to heat or work. Or, his feeling of tiredness and exhaustion is due to work. These symptoms of diabetes are usually ignored because it is thought to be something else.

If diabetes runs in the family, diabetes screening should be done regularly to detect the disease early. Diabetes itself does not cause any pain but it will cause other serious problems. Diabetes will cause retina damage which in turn causes blindness. It will also cause the kidney to fail and damages the liver. Diabetes is also associated with artery and heart problems. It is advisable to seek professional help if symptoms of diabetes persist for these people.

Reducing Diabetes Risk Through Weight Management

What actually causes the pancreas to stop producing insulin? There are several theories to this but some doctors believed it is strongly related to being overweight. It is believed that being overweight is a contributing factor in type 2 diabetes. If you are overweight and shows symptoms of diabetes, you have to get your blood glucose level checked.

Research results have also shown that incidences of diabetes can reduced when there is proper weight management. It also delays the onset of diabetes in families having the disease. Sometimes, patients suffering this disease do not show any symptoms of diabetes.

Note! The key with diabetes is to keep blood sugar within a certain range (80-180 mg/dl). When blood sugar is higher or lower than this range, there can be serious health problems.

Conclusion

Even though there is no clear indication about the relationship between age and the onset of diabetes, most of those over the age of 60 exhibits the symptoms of diabetes. Medical practitioners must deal with this on a case to case basis whilst considering age, lifestyle and the willingness of that individual to participate in any treatment regime.
