Recognizing Signs and Symptoms – Type 2 Diabetes
Diabetes Mellitus - Cause
Recently you were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and you are overweight with fat around the middle of your body. You are probably unhappy with your appearance anyway and now you have high blood sugar levels to be concerned with also. What did you have for a snack just now? A bowl of white rice with sweet and sour pork. If you had just exercised maybe this type of meal would have replaced the blood sugars used, if not, you have just added to your high insulin and weight loss problems.
Perhaps you have not heard of the low-glycemic index (low-GI) carbohydrate diet that keeps you energized and manages your blood sugar levels. That bowl of white rice is packed with high-GI carbohydrates and there is fat and sugar in the sweet and sour pork topping. This innocent looking meal has something to hide … it is not good for those carefully watching their blood sugar levels, or those struggling to shed extra pounds or kilograms.
There is more to a low-GI food plan than helping to form a great body shape. This food plan lowers the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes as it lowers your insulin levels.
By following this type of food plan you will find only small fluctuations in your insulin and blood sugar levels. This is the secret to long term health: it reduces your risk of heart disease, your type 2 diabetes, lowers your blood pressure and is also the key to sustainable weight loss.
There are two varieties of carbohydrates and the glycemic index of a food reflects how fast it hits your bloodstream:
- complex, and
- simple
Glucose is our body’s preferred energy source and is present in many foods … there are just different types of sugars broken down and absorbed at different rates.
The low-carb or carb-restricted diet will help diabetics dramatically improve their health. And it works fast because your metabolic systems begin to change in as little as six hours. Your body switches very quickly into a fat-burning mode and decreases its reliance on blood sugar as a source of fuel.
Metabolic Syndrome is a common health problem today. It’s characterized by several major abnormalities including:
* obesity
* diabetes
* cardiovascular disease
* high blood pressure.
Low glycemic index carbohydrate food plans have numerous benefits aside from helping your weight loss and keeping your energy levels balanced. Switching to a low-GI diet will help:
- increase your body’s insulin-sensitivity
- reduce your risk of heart disease
- enhance your type 2 diabetes control
- reduce your cholesterol levels
- reduce hunger pangs by keeping you feeling full for longer
For a low GI carbohydrate diet, you eat more:
- oats, bran, and barley for breakfast cereals,
- whole grain bread,
- sweet potato
- multi-grain bread
- pasta
- most fruit
- legumes and many above ground dark green leafy vegetables.
Aim to make changes gradually but don’t fall into the trap and eat excessive amounts of low-GI foods. Over consumption will lead to weight gain not weight loss, and will not help you conquer your type 2 diabetes and your blood sugar levels.
