How
Obesity Increases Risk of Diabetes
Obesity is probably the most important factor in the development
of insulin resistance, but science's understanding of the chain
of events is still spotty. Now, researchers have filled in the gap
and identified the missing link between the two.
Aerobically
Unfit Young Adults on Road to Diabetes
Researchers have found that young adults (18 to 30 years old) with
low aerobic fitness levels --as measured by a treadmill test --
are two to three times more likely to develop diabetes in 20 years
than those who are fit.
Prediabetes
Information
Prediabetes is a condition millions of Americans have today. This
term is often used in conjunction with another term known asinsulin resistance.
Glycemic
Index and Diabetes
The glycemic index is a food chart that looks at blood sugar levels
and the foods that affect them. An understanding of the glycemic
index can be very helpful to diabetics.
Foods
and the Glycemic Index Chart
Using the glycemic index, diabetics can get a general idea of how
quickly their blood sugar levels might rise after eating certain
foods. Because two methods are used, some GI charts will
vary slightly based on which base food item was used for the computation.
Insulin
Resistance: Overview
When you have insulin resistance syndrome, your body's muscle cells
are unable to absorb the sugar properly, so your body will make
more insulin to try and force the sugar into your cells.
Managing
Insulin Resistance Naturally with Food
The primary goal in managing insulin resistance naturally is to
remove or drastically reduce the amount of simple sugars you put
into your system.
