Diabetes is basically all about having elevated blood glucose levels all the time. You can put the blame on the so called insulin resistance. In a nutshell, insulin resistance is characterized by the inability of your body's cells to respond as necessary to insulin, a hormone that makes it possible for glucose molecules to enter the cells.

Because of insulin resistance, sugar pools in the blood. The cells are also deprived of much needed energy, thus leaving the person who has diabetes feeling weak and lethargic. It's also something that can leave him or her feeling hungry all the time. If the wrong types of foods and drinks are consumed, in particular those that are loaded with sugar and carbohydrates, the problem can worsen as the levels of sugar in the bloodstream are further increased.

Health authorities confirm that insulin resistance is usually brought about by dietary matters. Individuals who cannot say no to having a lot of sugary and starchy treats are very much likely to develop it. There are cases, however, in which it is because of family history. It's due to this reason why diabetes is a disease that parents can pass to their kids.

Eliminating unwanted kilos is one of the most important steps you need to take as a diabetes sufferer. This is true most especially if you are obese or overweight. Health authorities say that someone who is suffering from diabetes may encounter complications if he or she has a lot of excess kilos.

Regular exercise is important for slimming down, and everybody knows this. Such is also essential for fending off abnormally high levels of glucose in the blood. As someone who suffers from diabetes, one of your goals on a daily basis should be to keep your blood glucose within the normal and healthy range.

Hypertension and heart disease are complications that people with diabetes may encounter if they're not careful. It's a good thing that those serious health nightmares can be driven away by regular exercise. It is a great idea for you to work out for at least 20 minutes a session for not less than 5 times a week if you want to put your diabetes under control.

Monitoring the diet in order to lose weight is also an important step to take. Definitely, the intake of foods that are loaded with sugar and carbohydrates should be considerably limited. On the other hand, fiber rich foods should be generously added to the diet.
