Type two diabetes is a condition which can be brought about in a wide variety of ways. Unlike type one, it’s not generally something which you just get. The fact that it’s so common in the world today has led a great many people into the misconception that in actuality the condition isn’t that serious but the fact is, type two diabetes is a killer and if it’s not treated as such the chances are it could kill you too.
So how do you avoid it? Well that’s fairly simple when you know what you’re doing. One of the biggest triggers for type two diabetes is your diet. What you put into your body is always going to have a really broad effect on you and it’s really easy to forget that the old saying, ‘you are what you eat’, while not literally true certainly holds a good amount of weight.
Diabetes does its damage when blood-sugar levels spike and then stay fairly high. Processed foods are a massive risk factor if you’re in a high risk group anyway, the issue being that as you take on more and more sugar, your body will find it harder and harder to deal with it.
America is the diabetes capital of the world and this is largely due to its diet heavy in massively processed foods and its obesity epidemic. ¾ type two diabetics are also obese and the condition often proceeds diabetes. It’s one of the main triggers and all obese people are in the high-risk group for diabetes and as such should start regulating what they eat and drink as soon as they possibly can. If they don’t then the chances are they could well wind up with type two diabetes before they know it! Making the change early enough can save you from a long life of managing a condition you didn’t need to get in the first place!
