Education for Diabetes

I have heard that people with diabetes should not take cold, flu or pain medications. Why is this? Also, I have heard that they should avoid exposure to high heat and humidity? Why is this? I also would love to know what it is exactly, and why you need to watch what you eat and use a meter?

What is diabetes?

There are two types of diabetes.Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes, and more than 85 – 90 % diabetics in the US fall in this category. Type 2 diabetes is associated with insulin resistance and obesity and is fast becoming an epidemic in the entire world. In type 2 diabetes, either the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin. Insulin is necessary for the body to be able to use glucose for energy.

Diabetes is a metabolic disease caused by a lack of insulin (a hormone) in the human body. Insulin is needed by the body to metabolize (breakdown) the sugar that we eat. When insulin is not available the sugar levels in the body can rise to extremely high levels which can cause diseases of various body parts like the kidneys, eyes, nerves, hearts etc.

Many people with type 2 diabetes have no symptoms, and it is often discovered accidentally after routine medical check ups or when you are being screened for something else.

If present, the symptoms might include:

• increased production of urine

• unusual thirst

• tiredness

• loss of weight

Type 2 diabetes develops when the body becomes resistant to insulin. This happens when the body’s tissues (eg muscle), do not fully respond to insulin and so cannot make use of the glucose in the blood for energy. The pancreas responds by producing more insulin. In addition the liver, where glucose is stored, releases more glucose to try to increase the amount available. Eventually the pancreas becomes less able to produce enough insulin and the tissues become more resistant to insulin. As a result, blood glucose levels slowly start to rise.

Unlike Type 1 diabetes, there is little tendency toward ketoacidosis in Type 2 diabetes, though it is not unknown. One effect that can occur is nonketonic hyperglycemia which also quite dangerous, though it must be treated very differently.

Diabetes mellitus type 2 is a chronic, progressive disease that has no clearly established cure. There are two main goals of treatment of the disease:

1. reduction of mortality and concomitant morbidity (from assorted diabetic complications)

2. preservation of quality of life

Type 2 is initially treated by adjustment in diet and exercise, and by weight loss, especially in obese patients.

There are several drugs available for type 2 diabetics — most are unsuitable or even dangerous for use by type 1 diabetics. Metformin and second-generation sulfonylureas are the preferred choices for most with type 2. If antidiabetic drugs fails, insulin therapy may be necessary – usually in addition to oral medication therapy – to maintain normal glucose levels. Type 2 diabetes is serious, but people with diabetes can live long, healthy, happy lives.

If you have onset type 2 diabetes, it is of utmost importance that you quit smoking, lose weight and eat a proper type 2 diabetes diet.

For many people this is much easier said than done. For some quitting smoking is almost out of the question and for others the complications derived from diabetes makes it difficult for them to shed pounds and inches.

Changing to a more proper diet is perhaps the easiest. A good type 2 diabetes diet designed specifically to help control type 2 diabetes can be critical to a long and healthy life.

Limit the intake of your high carb foods. Foods that are rich in carbohydrates are directly linked to blood glucose levels. So to keep your blood glucose levels down, it is vital that you cut down on the intake of foods that are rich in carbohydrates.

It’s not difficult to tell if a particular food contains a lot of carbohydrates. Typically, foods such as chocolates, white breads, baked goodies and candies that are high in sugar have a high carbohydrate count.

You should try to stick to a type II diabetes diet by staying away from foods that have a high carbohydrate count.

What about apples, peaches, sweet potatoes, and milk that all also contain carbohydrates? The carbohydrates in these foods are different from the carbohydrates from sugar. The carbohydrates in these types of food are known as complex carbohydrates that take longer to break down in your system.

Since complex carbohydrates don’t break down as fast as other types they don’t affect the blood glucose levels as much. It is imperative that you stick to foods that are have complex carbohydrates, rather than carbohydrates from fructose.

A balanced type 2 diabetes diet should also include lots of fruits, vegetables and protein derived from cuts of meat and eggs.

Besides maintaining your type 2 diabetes with a proper diet, it is very important for you to get some exercise. Exercise can lower the body’s resistance to insulin.

There are many fun things that you can do to stay active if you have diabetes. You could try hiking, jogging or swimming. You may even want to try out a new sport.

Following a healthy type 2 diabetes diet and living an active lifestyle are both great ways to fight back against diabetes.
