Type Two Diabetes is a condition which is wide spread but still not fully understood, it’s a potent reminder that medicine is still advancing and that we by no means know everything. Though ¾ type two diabetics are also obese this isn’t true of all cases and as such cannot be the only cause of the condition. We can identify all sorts of high-risk factors but as of yet a scientist won’t be able to tell you specifically what caused the insulin resistance which is the main problem-source for type two diabetes.
The best way to manage type two diabetes is through lifestyle changes like diet and exercise. It’s not a condition which is going to be cured by taking a regimen of pills or therapies, only consistent change will manage and control it. Once a diabetic patient has become accustomed to their new way of life and they’ve started to do it as an almost second nature then they can live very normal lives. Failure to manage diabetes effectively can cause various unpleasant medical conditions which ultimately lead to death.
Diet is an important part of life for a diabetic and most will know that to maintain their health they should try and steer clear of all things sugary or laced with other processed products. Another, slightly less known, danger to the diabetic population is high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) which is a longer lasting version of natural glucose which has gone through some long periods of processing. Though you might imagine this to be better for you than less natural sugars it’s actually just as damaging and as such should be avoided just as vehemently.
If in doubt about certain foods then consult your nutritionist or doctor and remember that as a general rule, the more processed a food is, the less likely you should be eating it!
