Have you been recently diagnosed with diabetes? If so, you must know that there are two types of diabetes found in people, which are type-1 diabetes and type-2 diabetes. Chances are you were diagnosed with type-2 diabetes, as it is the most common one that develops most often in middle-aged and older people who are somewhat overweight or obese.

There have been multiple risk factors associated with diabetes, such as, Genetic susceptibility and environmental factors. As you read on in this article, you’ll discover six risk factors that can lead to diabetes.

1. Being overweight

Being overweight can increase the chances of developing type 2 diabetes. In this disease, the body makes enough insulin but the cells in the body have become resistant to the salutary action of the insulin, thus making you vulnerable to becoming diabetic. If perhaps you are obese, try as much as possible to visit a doctor and stay informed always.

2. Physical inactivity

A lack of activity in your daily lifestyle has also been linked as a primal factor for type-2 diabetes. The excessive free fatty acid released by adipose tissue leads to a decrease in the insulin sensitivity of muscle, fat and liver, which is followed by raised glucose levels, insulin resistance and type-2 diabetes.

It is recommended for you to change your lifestyle, becoming more dynamic by developing a habit of practicing physical exercises.

3. Insulin resistance

Insulin resistance, responsible for a continued loss of beta cells causes blood glucose levels to rise above normal range. This risk factor can be silent in nature, so it is best for you to always do medical check-ups once in three months, to avoid every possibility of being inflicted unawares.

4. Genetic susceptibility

Type 2 diabetes can be hereditary. That doesn’t mean that if your mother or father has or had type2 diabetes, you’re guaranteed to develop it; instead, it means that you have a greater chance of developing it. It’s not too late to have yourself checked.

5. Age

Research has shown that the older you are, the more at risk you are for developing type 2 diabetes. At age 45, your risk starts to rise, and after age 65, your risk increases exponentially. In this case, consult a doctor, to be on the safer side.

6. High-blood

High-blood pressure can lead to and make worse many complications of diabetes, including, diabetic eye disease and kidney disease. The moment you notice traces of high-blood pressure, don’t wait for multiple re-occurrences before seeking medical intervention.

Experts have observed that people often discover they have diabetic when it’s already too late to be treated. They often neglect warning signs that could be indicating they are diabetic and are often ignorant of the possible risks of being diabetic. Be sure to watch out for these signs and if you think you might be at risk, then see your doctor for a check up as much as possible.

Diabetes rates are remarkably high in Dubai and the rest of the UAE. In fact, quite a number of people in Dubai who have diabetes are not aware that they have it and thus neglect to seek treatment early enough. To understand why diabetes rates are so high in the UAE, and what you might do to protect yourself, read on to see the top 6 reasons why diabetes rates are so high in the UAE:

1. Obesity

Obesity drastically increases the risk of developing diabetes and unfortunately, approximately 60% of Dubai’s population are deemed to be obese and at a further risk of developing diabetes and other related conditions. Obesity can be effectively controlled by regular exercise and a consistently healthy diet.

2. Low Exercise Rates

As mentioned in the previous point, exercise helps to limit and control obesity which is one of the predisposing factors for diabetes. Unfortunately, most people in Dubai do not really get enough exercise usually due to the extreme heat. Exercise also helps prevent diabetes because it helps the body get rid of sugar in the blood, which is converted and used up as energy during exercise and other physical activity.

You don’t always have to go outside to get some exercise; you could consider joining an air conditioned gym or simply do some body weight exercises such as push-ups and squats from the comfort of your own home.

3. High Sugar Diet

In Dubai, like in most parts of the Middle East, various types of sweet foods are prepared as delicacies. While these cultural dishes are usually quite delicious, they are high in sugar which contributes to the build-up of glucose in the blood, and subsequently, the onset of diabetes.

You should try to limit your intake of sugary, high carbohydrate foods to a minimum in favor of healthy proteins such as lean meats, green vegetables such as lettuce and spinach, and fruits such as apples.

4. Smoking

Smoking has been identified as being one of the factors that has a definite effect at worsening the effects of diabetes and speeding up it’s development. Not only are people who have diabetes likely to worsen their condition by smoking, but chronic smokers are also at a much more advanced risk of developing diabetes.

Quite a number of Dubai’s residents are relatively heavy smokers, with a variety of options for smoking ranging from regular cigarettes and cigars to the more exotic such as shisha. The sheer number of heavy smokers in Dubai who seem to be ubiquitous in almost every social gathering means that even people who do not smoke themselves are exposed to second hand smoke.

For now, to avoid second hand smoke when you go out in Dubai, you may visit any restaurant safely as they are required to have non-smoking areas, and if you would like to visit a bar, choose one that has a clearly designated non-smoking area.

5. Sleep

It might surprise you to learn that getting adequate amounts of sleep usually, between 7-9 hours a night is important for preventing diabetes. One reason why this may be so is the fact that when people feel tired for any reasons including a lack of sleep, there is usually an urge to compensate by obtaining energy form food. Also, some doctors have claimed that the body’s natural reaction to sleep deprivation could lead to insulin resistance, which is a precursor to diabetes.

For a various number of reasons, it appears that Dubai’s residents are not getting the recommended amounts of sleep and perhaps this is a contributing factor to its high rates of obesity and diabetes. If you find it hard sleeping for 7-9 hours straight, whether because of the nature of your work or other reasons, you may try breaking up your sleeping hours into two 3-4 hour blocks. Evidence actually suggests that this method might be optimal.

Conclusion

Diabetes can be prevented particularly if it is spotted in its early stages so it is important to make regular visits to see a doctor for a health examination. Most of the time, regular exercise and a healthy diet will be enough to prevent diabetes but if you live in Dubai, you should not forget to pass up on that shisha and other forms of smoking, and make sure you get enough sleep on a daily basis.

Heart disease is one of the long-term complications of diabetes, though it could take years to develop. However, there are foods that exacerbate the relationship between diabetes and heart disease, and could lead to a person suffering both at the same time.
Unfortunately, most of the foods that are responsible for this are quite common and might be considered desirable by many, but at the end of the day, particularly for people with diabetes, they could be worsening your health. Here are the top five common foods that are detrimental to your heart’s health, especially when you’re diabetic.

1. French Fries

Fried foods in general are not healthy for the heart because of their high saturated and trans-fat content. Consuming these two fats in high amounts not only has a negative effect on your heart but on different parts of your body and can also lead to diabetes.

But in the case of French fries, they could be even more damaging because you’d be frying a pure chunk of carbohydrate and also adding salt. There are few worse combinations for people with diabetes.

2. Sausages and other processed meats

Researchers has discovered that processed meats including bacon, ham and hot dogs have the ability to increase the risk of heart failure. Most people believe that the worst type of processed meat is bacon, but recent research has proven otherwise. Sausages have a higher saturated fat content and this is what makes them more dangerous than other types of processed meat.

3. Red meat and pork

Just like processed meat, red meat has a high content of saturated fat, and a high amount of cholesterol. These two put together can cause a lot of damage to your heart’s health. Red meat also contains another dangerous element called L-carnitine. So it’s important that you lessen the amount of red meat you take in, especially if you have diabetes.

Pork on the other hand might not be as dangerous as red meats, but yet it still has a negative effect on your heart’s health due to its considerable amount of saturated fat; so don’t go eliminating red meat from your diet and replacing it with pork and think that you’re doing yourself a favor.

4. Pizza

As delicious as pizza might be, it is just as bad for health. Pizza has a high content of three items that are not heart friendly: The crust is high in carbohydrate and sodium, and then the cheese and sauce usually also contain a considerable amount of fats and sodium (depending on the kind of cheese). All these put together cause a whole lot of damage to the heart.

However, you can still have your pizza, as long as you chose healthier options. For example, whole-wheat crust pizza with olive oil, sliced tomatoes and goat cheese is a healthier choice.

5. Butter, Mayonnaise, Salad cream and other sour creams

Some people can’t just eat without any of these three. They just have to include it in everything they eat. Well, butter and all these other sour creams are bad for your health. They are high in saturated fat and also have a considerable amount of cholesterol, which are both bad for your heart’s health.

Conclusion

In a nut shell, stay away from fried foods in general and any other foods that are high in saturated and trans fats and cholesterol. Fill up your diets with more healthy choices like nuts, vegetables, fish, fruits, whole grains and so many others.

You might know what diabetes means and what its signs, symptoms and risk factors are. You may even know the relationships between diabetes and heart conditions, but did you also know that diabetes has a couple of long terms effects on your body? Maybe not. Diabetes has so many complications that don’t always show up, sometimes not until after many years. This process might take decades and in fact, sometimes, the signs will develop silently such that even if people with diabetes aren’t showing signs of complications, they may still develop them eventually.

It’s true that thinking about long-term complications can be scary but getting to know what these could possibly be, ahead of time, will help you start developing a healthier lifestyle right now. Starting today to fight diabetes by eating right, getting regular exercises, having enough sleep and making sure your stress levels are in check are essential steps you will need to take to stay healthy.
The body parts which are usually most affected by complications from diabetes are the eyes, kidneys, nerves, hearts and blood vessels, gums and feet. Read on to learn more about the ways diabetes can affect these important organs.

Eyes

It is recommended that people with eye problem see an eye doctor for an eye exam, once or twice in a year, because they’re at greater risk of developing eye problems such as:

Cataracts – A cataract is the thickening and clouding of the lens of the eye, and this in turn causes a person’s vision to get blurry or make it difficult to see at night, because the lens is the part of the eye that helps you focus on what you see.

Retinopathy – This involves changes in the retina, the light-sensitive at the back of the eye. These changes occur due to the damage or growth problems in the small blood vessels of the retina. This condition should often leads to blindness if it gets worst.

Glaucoma – With this disease, pressure builds up inside the eye, which can cause a decrease in blood flow to the retina and optic nerve, causing them to get damaged. In it’s initial stages, affected individuals might not have issues seeing, but if left untreated, this disease can cause a person to lose vision completely.

Kidneys

When a person’s blood sugar is high, it can cause great damage to the blood vessels in the kidneys, thereby leading to kidney disease.  This condition is sometimes referred to as diabetic nephropathy. In the early stages of this disease, there are hardly any symptoms however, over time, it can lead to kidney failure.

Nerves

A type of nerve damage called diabetic neuropathy is another condition developed by people who have had diabetes for a long time. Diabetic neuropathy can affect nerves in different parts of the body and there could early symptoms like numbness, tingling, sharp pain in the feet or lower legs. If this is not treated, it can lead to a lot of problems. For example, due to the numbness, a person can have a burn or cut and might not realize it, which could easily lead to it getting infected.

Hearts and Blood vessels

People with diabetes have a higher risk of developing certain problems with the heart and blood vessels. (cardiovascular diseases.) Some of these problems are:

Heart attacks (caused by a blockage of the blood vessels supplying blood to the heart).
Stroke (caused by a blockage of the blood vessels supplying the brain).
Blockage of blood vessels in the legs and feet, which can lead to foot ulcers, infections, and even loss of a toe, foot, or lower leg.

Gums

People suffering from diabetes are at greater risk of developing gum diseases. This is due to the following:
• More plaque and less saliva (too much plaque on the teeth and not enough saliva can contribute to tooth decay).
• Higher blood sugar levels (a person has more sugar in their mouth, which can also lead to tooth decay).
• Some loss of collagen, a protein that’s found in gum tissue.
• Poor blood circulation in the gums.

Feet

Feet problems are solely caused due to poor blood flow in the leg, and also due to nerve damage. This in turn can cause slow healing to sores. Some of the symptoms include sharp pain in the leg and numbness. In serious cases, there might be a need for amputation.

Conclusion

You should be relieved to know that all these can be prevented by just doing four simple things that would probably cost you relatively little or nothing: Eat well, exercise regularly, get sufficient sleep, and manage your stress levels effectively.

Diabetes is one of the most deadly diseases in the world today, and it poses so many different complications and long term effects which could include blindness, kidney failure and nerve damage which when not properly taken care of, often leads to the loss of a leg or foot.

Not just that, diabetes has also been known to significantly increase the risk of having stroke. The good news, however, is that diabetes can be prevented without really costing much. Here are some tips that just might come in very handy in helping you prevent diabetes.

1. More Physical Activity

The simple fact is that inactivity promotes type 2 diabetes. Working your muscles more often and making them work harder improves their ability to use insulin and absorb glucose. Excess weight is the single most important cause of type 2 diabetes.

Research has found out that being overweight increases the chances of developing type 2 diabetes by seven times. Being obese makes you 20 to 40 times more likely to develop diabetes than someone with a healthy weight. Losing 7 to 10 percent of your current weight can cut your chances of developing type 2 diabetes in half.

2. Get Enough Sleep

Most people don’t know that not getting enough sleep regularly, can double your risk of having diabetes. Get enough sleep on a daily basis and greatly reduce your risk of having diabetes.

3. More Whole Grains, Less Refined Carbs

Research has been done and it has been discovered that diets rich in whole grains protect against diabetes, whereas diets rich in refined carbohydrates lead to increased risk. The bran and fiber in whole grains make it more difficult for digestive enzymes to break down the starches into glucose. This leads to lower, slower increases in blood sugar and insulin.

Whole grains are also rich in essential vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals that may help reduce the risk of diabetes. In contrast, highly processed carbohydrates are known to be easily digested and hence can cause spikes in blood sugar and insulin levels and with time, this can lead to type 2 diabetes.

4. Avoid Sugar-sweetened Drinks

Sugary beverages have a high glycemic index, and when you drink more of this sugary beverages, you increase your risk of type 2 diabetes. Sugary beverages are known to be among the top foods that lead to weight gain, and have a high sugar content that also increases insulin resistance. Avoiding these beverages will go a long way in reducing the risk of developing diabetes.

5. Eat Fish Instead of Meat

Red and processed meat due to their high iron, sodium & nitrate content respectively, increase your risk of having diabetes. On the other hand, studies have shown that people who make the switch from eating red and processed meat to eating fish, will lower their risk of developing diabetes by up to 35 percent.

6. Quit Smoking

Apart from diabetes, smoking has a long list of health related problems. Smokers are roughly 50 percent more likely to develop diabetes than non-smokers, and heavy smokers have an even higher risk.

You don’t have to wait until you start experiencing the symptoms of diabetes: you can take proacative steps to protect your health from right away, using the steps we have outlined here.

Diabetes has become a huge problem today, affecting people of all age groups. Lot’s of people do not know that obesity is the leading cause of diabetes in the world today, and living a healthy lifestyle is usually all that you need to do to prevent the onset of this disease. Here are three more facts you probably never knew about diabetes:

1. You increase your risk of developing diabetes when you skip breakfast

Recent research has shown that full-time working women who most times miss their breakfast have a 54 percent higher risk of being diagnosed with the type two diabetes than those who ate it on a daily basis. You need to understand that when you go to bed, your insulin level is stable, and when you don’t eat in the morning, your insulin level drops instantly.

When you eventually do have your lunch, your insulin levels will spikes and crash. If this process keeps repeating itself, it can cause your body to build up an insulin resistance, which can further lead to type 2 diabetes.

2. Diet and exercise alone may not be sufficient for preventing diabetes

The first two things that come up when you google how to reduce the risk of developing diabetes are diet and exercise; so most people pay more attention to these two factors and forget the other two, also very important things that need your attention: sleep and stress management.

Chronic stress increases your blood-sugar levels by a significantly large amount, and regularly getting less than six to eight hours of sleep can double your risk of developing diabetes. So in a nut shell, your keys to preventing diabetes all together should be: eating healthy, getting good regular exercises, making sure you don’t stress out yourself at work, taking out time to relax and having enough sleep on a daily basis.

3. Type 2 diabetes can affect anyone

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that just because you’re not overweight you’re clear of this disease. There have been more and more reported cases of young and slim people having a problem with this type 2 diabetes. In fact, recent discoveries have shown that 15 percent of people with type 2 diabetes are not overweight.

The fact that you’re not overweight doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re healthy. The term “skinny-fat” has been used to describe the culprit. This simply tells you that it is possible to look slim and healthy outside, but your inside, due to a number of unhealthy habits, looks as though you are obese and this puts you at a higher risk of developing diabetes.

Conclusion

Science keeps revolving, so it is important to always do a research to find out more about how to develop your health. Keep yourself updated on recent findings about fitness and how to stay healthy, and also on diseases and recent findings about them.
This is what we’re here to do for you. Keep you updated about your health.

The type of food you eat, on a regular basis, greatly affects your risk of developing diabetes. When it comes to fighting against diabetes as well as other major diseases affecting the world today, diet is of primary importance, just as exercise and stress management.

A recent research showed that a diet heavy in junk food filled with soft drinks, fries, and chips will increase the risk of type 2 diabetes by about 70 percent. To start eating healthy today, and proactively protect yourself against diabetes, here are four groups of food to avoid:

1. SUGAR SWEETENED DRINKS

Sugary beverages like sodas, sweet teas, lemonade and processed juice are all sugar- sweetened drinks and they have a strong link to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. This is most likely because excess calorie intake will lead to weight gain and also because the sugar load might increase insulin resistance.

One of the best way to reduce the amount of sugar you take into your system is by limiting your intake of sugar-sweetened beverages to about one serving in two weeks or even a month. To stay hydrated, drink more water. Also, avoid loading up your coffee or tea with sugar and cream.

2. RED AND PROCESSED MEAT

Both red meat and processed meats are linked to type 2 diabetes. Processed meats include bacon, hot dogs, deli meats etc, and are bad because of their high level of sodium and nitrites content. It has been discovered that having 3-ounces of red meat per day can increase the risk of type 2 diabetes by 19 percent.

Processed red meat is even more harmful and causes a lot more damage. Even a lesser amount of processed red meat can increase the risk of developing type to diabetes to about 51 percent. Instead of eating red meat, fill up your daily diet with other nutritious proteins like salmon, sardines, and others.

3. HIGHLY PROCESSED CARBOHYDRATES

Most of these heavily processed carbohydrates, such as those made with white flour, white sugar and white rice are stripped of certain important nutrients, vitamins and minerals. Foods like this are too easily digested and can cause spikes in blood sugar and insulin levels which with time, this can lead to type 2 diabetes.

To reduce your risk, limit the intake of foods made with processed carbohydrates, such as breads, muffins, cakes, crackers, in favor of whole-grain options(which actually help fight against diabetes).

4. SATURATED AND TRANS FAT

Trans fat are found in packaged baked goods, fried foods and the sort of food typically found in fast food restaurants, while saturated fats on the other hand, are always found in fatty meats, butter and cheese. These two unhealthy fats can increase your cholesterol levels and high cholesterol in turn increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

To avoid saturated fats, try snacking on nuts instead of sweets and baked goods like doughnuts, etc. Try to cook or bake your food with olive or canola oil instead of the traditional groundnut oil.

Conclusion

When it comes to fighting diseases generally, the importance of a healthy diet can never be overemphasized. So, be sure to follow these guidelines as you work on improving your diet, to prevent or manage diabetes.
