A friend of mine was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, (also known as adult onset or non-insulin dependent diabetes). This was a surprise to her as she didn’t seem to suffer any symptoms typical of this disease, frequent urination, lack of energy, thirst and weight loss.
when her physician ordered a test at her yearly check up She came to know that she is diabetic.
I, along with her doctor took this diagnosis very seriously as my friend had previously been diagnosed with high blood pressure, or hypertension, a few years ago.
What’s the big deal? For starters, over two thirds of people with diabetes also have high blood pressure. OKso?
Let’s start with what diabetes is. Diabetes is a disorder in which the body can’t properly process sugar. There are two types: Type 1 diabetes is when the pancreas does not produce insulin which is needed to regulate blood sugar in between meals. Sufferers of this type of diabetes must inject themselves with insulin in order to regulate their blood sugar.
Type 2 diabetes is a condition where the body does actually produce insulin but it is unable to properly process sugar. Of the over 5 million sufferers of diabetes (experts believe this number is actually double and that many people suffer from the disease and don’t realize it), between 90-95% of those suffer type 2 diabetes.
For those with type 2 diabetes, tissues become targets of the uncontrolled sugars and begin to erode. The most susceptible are the eyes, nerves, kidneys and heart. In fact, diabetes is the number one cause of kidney failure and the sixth highest cause of heart failure.
Just like high blood pressure, the person who suffers from diabetes feels no symptoms at all. And this affects their major organs and eyes for years.
In addition to this hypertension also affects heart, kidney’s and eyes. In fact, those with high blood pressure and diabetes are over 75 percent more likely to suffer a heart attack or stroke!
Medication is a must for many people. But the good news is diabetes can also be delayed or prevented from spreading by exercising regularly and by maintaining a healthy weight. It also advised to avoid excess alcohol.
Even though medications are available for hypertension it comes with dangerous side effects. Similar to diabetes people who suffer from hypertension can also do certain things like regular exercise, maintaining health, avoid drinking excess alcohol and stop smoking to reduce the effects of hypertension.
My hypertension program consists relaxing and natural exercises and have helped more than thousand people. I recommend my hypertension program if you are suffering from high blood pressure. It will even work out on type 2 diabetes as hypertension and diabetes are closely related.
