Diabetes Symptoms

Preventing Pre Diabetes Symptoms And Type II Diabetes

It is a common experience with many diabetic people that before they developed type 2 diabetes, they noticed pre diabetes symptoms but those were ignored for a long time. When your blood sugar runs abnormally high, you have a condition called diabetes. This happens mainly because your pancreas fails to secret enough insulin. If you can find out that your body is exhibiting pre diabetes symptoms, you can be easily prepared to fight the oncoming steps of type 2 diabetes. That is why we need to know about the symptoms and how to reverse these symptoms.

Reverse Pre Diabetes Symptoms

We do not need to be much worried if we notice pre diabetes symptoms as these symptoms can be successfully reversed to normal in simple ways. It mainly requires some changes in the life style, almost without any medication at all. However, it needs some control with discipline over your life. What is needed is early care as starting to mend the symptoms late may not give you success. When you pass the pre diabetes symptoms into the development of type 2 diabetes, you will not be able to prevent the symptoms easily.

Medical professionals have conducted research on the pre diabetes symptoms and the causes as well as remedies of these symptoms; but no panacea has been found. However, some risk factors have been identified. The major ones are family history and age. Race is another risk factor as diabetes is found more in some races. These factors are out of our control. Life style and food habit are the factors that we can control.

You can minimize the chances of having pre diabetes symptoms by maintaining something. First of all, keep yourself in good shape and prevent the pre diabetes symptoms. If you are overweight, take the issue seriously so that pre diabetes symptoms can fade away gradually. Regular exercise will help you prevent the pre diabetes symptoms. When you combine all these into you life, you are going to have a life free of type 2 diabetes.

You should be aware that pre diabetes symptoms and type 2 diabetes symptoms may seem identical to a layman and so it is necessary to have check ups. The common symptoms include thirstiness, frequent urination, feeling of nausea or vomiting and fatigue. If you have these symptoms, try to see your doctor. You may be asked to have a fasting plasma glucose test. Never ignore the symptoms altogether.

You may ask why we need to be familiar with the diabetes symptoms for the type 1 diabetes. The common sense logic is this type of diabetes is found more. Moreover, nature also plays an ironic role here. If your gene carries the message of type 1 diabetes, it is much likely that you are going to have the diabetes symptoms. If you control the pre diabetes symptoms, you may win against nature.

Health and wellness

Opinion: Health and wellness regime

A reader recently wrote to me to ask about my health and wellness regime and if I believe in detoxification treatments. I told her that I try to stick to the following routine:

1. Swimming: Once a week
2. Yoga: Twice a week (Read about it)
3. Spa and massage: 1 to 2 times a month
4. Sleep early as much as possible
5. No smoking
6. Occasional alcohol only
7. No more thinking about work once I leave the office

I do not believe in certain drastic detoxification regimes such as colon cleansing. In case you do not know what colon cleansing is, here’s a video introduction. This is the least ‘scary’ video I can find but I still advise you not to watch while you’re having food or drinks.

However, I do practise some form of detoxification. Going to a sauna, drinking tea that aids in detoxification and using foot detoxification patches are some of my less drastic techniques for detoxification.

Here’s a video of foot detoxification practise. I consider it a less invasive but effective form of detoxification.

If you wish to start a detoxification regime as part of your wellness routine, here’s where I get my supply of foot detoxification patches via online order.

I do not see the need for exotic health and wellness routines. As long as one balances work, family life, exercise, hobbies and the occasional time away alone, that should be adequate for a healthy life.

Hydroponics

Hydroponics – Grow your own food!

Yet another food calamity! Did you read about the recent massive baby milk contamination crisis in China? A deadly chemical – melamine – was added to infant milk formula to increase profit for unscrupulous milk merchants, resulting in 4 babies’ death and thousands of affected babies to date.

Milk derived products such as biscuits, candies, ice-creams, chocolates, cakes and even coffee sachets were affected too!

Due to the gloablised nature of business nowadays, countries such as Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia were affected as well!

What is the world coming to with regards to food? Increased use of pesticides. Chemicals in fertilizers. DNA alteration to induce growth. Contaminated water and air. Will our food ever be safe?

A healthy life-style means regular exercise, stress-free living and the right food. However, even the healthiest tomato or lettuce could be contaminated without anyone’s knowledge nowadays.

Isn’t the best solution then to grow our own food nowadays? However, many of us are city dwellers and many of us lead busy professional and working lives. Where and how do we have the time and space to grow our own healthy food?

The solution may be easier than you think. Hydroponics – the science of growing plants without using soil – require little space, care and skills. Yet, you can grow your own green and healthy vegetables and herbs in your apartment crop after crop. Interested in more information about this modern modern of growing your own food?
