Some Facts About Diabetes

People with Type II Diabetes may have a difficult time losing weight. Nearly 90% of people with newly diagnosed Type II diabetes are overweight, according to the American Diabetes Association.
Many people with pre-diabetes display no diabetic symptom. However, you might experience the following: unusual thirst, frequent urination, blurred vision, or fatigue for no apparent cause. http://www.cure-diabetes.org In these instances, you should see a physician and get tested. According to the American Diabetes Association, if you are 45 years of age or older, especially if your BMI (body mass index) is 25 or higher, screening for pre-diabetes is recommended. If you are under 45 years but you are overweight and have any of the above risk factors, testing is also indicated.
When people with Type 2 diabetes achieve even modest weight loss (as low as 2.5% of total weight) they reduce risk factors for the heart. Ideally, however, overweight patients should strive for 15% weight loss or better, which can have major positive effects on insulin sensitivity, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center.
According to the CDC, lifestyle modification, that is, a healthy diet and a fitness plan, should be your first choice to prevent or delay diabetes, due to the benefits of weight loss and physical activity. This special "channel" by BestDietForMe.com is dedicated to providing useful information and resources for that purpose.
