Diabetes: The Key is Control

It's a natural reaction to being given a life-altering diagnosis. But the key point to understand with diabetes is that by using diet and medication, if necessary, to control the blood sugar, it can make a very real difference and dramatically cut down on the long-term risks of the condition. A report in the New England Journal of Medicine echoes this sentiment. Aggressive treatment of diabetes with good blood sugar control and drugs to reduce the excess heart risks that come with diabetes cuts patients' death risk by about half. Diabetes needs to be controlled. Careful monitoring and measurement are extremely crucial

Obesity and Diabetes

It has been a mystery to modern medicine. We know that people who are obese are more likely to develop type two diabetes, but why does it happen? I n recent months there has been quite a bit of research looking at the issue. According to research in the journal Nature, inflammation within the fat tissues of heavy individuals could trigger the blood sugar disease. This information is based on four independent studies from three countries and two continents. The good news (and consistent news) throughout the studies was that interrupting this process in mice reversed the problem. This has major implications because twenty three million people have type two diabetes.
Dr Vivian Fonseca is a leading researcher involved with the latest information. I spoke with him a month ago and he is extremely optimistic about the future of diabetes care. However, he says the key is weight control.

Be Aggressive When It Comes To Treating Diabetes

If you are a diabetic I want to provide the most important message you may ever hear. Make certain you do all you can to "tightly control" your diabetes. Over the past eighteen months study after study have stressed this point. You can see the first time I reported this information at this link:

It is crucial because if you do not control your blood sugar closely you will put yourself at greater risk for kidney and nerve damage. In addition, uncontrolled diabetes is a major cause of blindness. Please, do all you can to work with your doctor to watch and control your blood sugar.

Interesting Link between Diabetes and Depression

Diabetes and depression are two serious health conditions affecting millions of people each year. A recent study offers new evidence that there is a bi-directional association between the two diseases and developing one disease may make you more likely to develop the other.
