Kick, Scratch and Claw! Do Whatever You Have to do to Prevent Getting Diabetes!

I am going to make this short and sweet! If there is anything at all you can do to prevent getting diabetes, then do it! Just Do It! Click Here!

Diabetes is a deadly disease and you do not want it! Click Here!

The complications of diabetes are stroke, heart disease, peripheral artery disease, eye disease, including blindness, kidney disease, amputation, and death. These are complications you do not want to suffer! Do whatever you can to keep from getting diabetes and all the risks that go with it! Click Here!

So let me get to the point. There are things you can do to slash your risk of developing predicaments, which can develop into full blown diabetes. This is one way women can lower their risk. Click Here!

For years researchers believed if you had a BMI (Body Mass Index) under 25 (meaning if you weigh less than 145 pounds and are 5 feet 4 inches tall, for example) you were safe from the ravages of obesity. However, Mayo Clinic recently completed a study that showed there are many women who are dangerously fat even though they are skinny. Click Here!

The study of 1,101 women with a BMI under 25 showed that more than half these women had more than 30% body fat, meaning they were of normal weight but obese. Since fat cells emit damaging hormones, these women were 4 times more likely to get prediabetes than women who had less body fat. Click Here!

You cannot look in the mirror and determine if you are skinny obese. Get your percentage of body fat checked. Probably the best place to get this done is at a spa or health club. You can also buy a scale which not only measures weight but also measures percent of body fat. If you are more than 30% body fat then you need to exercise. Check online for places you can get your BMI checked or where you can buy a scale that checks BMI! Click Here!

Dieting alone cannot lower you percent of body fat. When you diet you lose lean as well as fat tissue. Exercise is the key! Do strength training and cardio exercises to reduce your percent of body fat!

This is one way to lower your risk of developing prediabetes! I will cover another aid to lowering your risk for this disease on my next blog. Click Here!

In the meantime start exercising with emphasis on strength training and cardio exercises.

Happy exercising!

Is It Possible You Could Be Living With a Diabetic and Do Not Know It?

Could it be? Your husband is a diabetic? Could that be true? How do you know? How can it be? What can you do? How will you live with it? How can you take care of him and help him get the most out of life? How can anyone live with diabetes? Click Here!

Would you know if your husband had diabetes? Do you know the signs? There are thousands of Americans living with diabetes today and they don't even know it! If that many people are living with it unbeknownst to them, isn't it possible your husband is also living with it?

Some of the most common signs of the disease are constant thirst, frequent urination, and being extremely tired! As you probably know, if you have been reading my blogs, is there are two kinds of diabetes, type 1 and type 2. Click Here!

Type 1 diabetes is the kind where the body does not product insulin at all. Type 2 is the most common and with type 2 the body does not produce enough insulin or the body does not use it correctly.

If you have not been tested for diabetes, you may have no idea you have the disease. Thus, your husband could be living with the disease without even knowing it. If your husband has any risk factors such as a family history of the disease, above the age of 60 or is in one of the ethnic groups who are prone to develop the disease, then please have him tested for diabetes.

The sooner you know he has the disease, the sooner he can begin treatment for it. The treatment involves controlling blood sugar levels, eating healthy, low fat meals, and taking medication as prescribed. All of this is most important for him to stay on top of the disease and live a long life.

The main things that diabetes can cause are heart failure, kidney failure, blindness, and amputation. These are the worst case scenario and by controlling his blood sugar levels, he can prevent complications such as these. Click Here!

The worst things a diabetic can do are smoke, drink alcohol, not follow his diet, and not exercise. Your husband is in control of all of this. You cannot make him do any of these things. He is an adult and can make his own decisions. If you spend time nagging him for not adhering to the rules, it will no good. It will only cause a rift in your relationship!

So not gripe at him for eating things he should not eat! It will do no good. You can suggest he follows the doctor's or the dietician's orders, but nagging at him could cause him to blow up at you.

Be supportive of your husband without being bossy, or demanding. Playing the mother will only make him mad at you and he may eat what he should not eat just to spite you! The days will be better if you leave him in control of his diet and his destiny!

Life will be happier that way!
