Adult Type 2 Diabetes Information
Adult type 2 diabetes is an unfortunate and common diagnosis. Most of us don't know that there are actually three types of diabetes: type 1 or child diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and gestational diabetes. Approximately 1% of Americans have type 2.
Obesity increases the chances for getting adult type 2 diabetes. Obesity is a common thread in over fifty percent of all those diagnosed with it. Keeping your weight at a healthy level is of extreme importance because being overweight is a high risk factor of type 2 as well as cardiovascular problems.
The treatment of adult type 2 diabetes varies from person to person. Whether you have other active medical problems, whether you have complications of diabetes, and your age and general health at time of diagnosis are all factors. Your health care provider will set goals for lifestyle changes, blood sugar control, and treatment.
Diet is an important consideration when you find you suffer from adult type 2 diabetes. First of all you will need to control your diet so that sugar will be kept in check. Dietary changes and moderate exercise are usually the first treatments implemented. When people are first diagnosed with this disease they are given dietary advice in the hope that this will enable them to take more control over the level of sugar in their blood.
Exercise is of primary importance in the prevention and management of adult type 2 diabetes. Exercise helps keep blood glucose levels down and has other health benefits, as well. Prevention of the disease will require measures to promote exercise and reduce obesity.
Symptoms of adult type 2 diabetes can begin so gradually that a person may not know that they have it. Symptoms include: excessive thirst, frequent urination, weight loss, increased appetite, unexplained fatigue, slow healing cuts, bruises, and wounds, frequent or lingering infections.
Some of the most serious complications are heart disease, blindness, nerve damage, and kidney damage.
The adult type 2 diabetes is today an extremely common occurrence. It is estimated that 1 in 90 people suffer from the disease. Have annual checkups with blood work and always be on the lookout for the symptoms.
