What we once knew about diabetes seems much simpler than it has turned out to be.Type 1, or juvenile-onset diabetes occurred in children and was caused by antibodies destroying the beta cells, the ones that make insulin in the pancreas. Type 2, or mature-onset, diabetes took place in adults usually over the age of 50. This form of diabetes was caused by insulin resistance, often brought on by being overweight or obese along with leading a sedentary lifestyle. Then we learned children could also acquire Type 2 diabetes, and “juvenile-onset” was dropped from Type 1. Type 3, or Gestational, diabetes was found to take place in pregnancy and acted like a temporary form of Type 2 diabetes, which was usually “cured” by the birth of the pregnant mother’s infant.nNow the fourth form of diabetes, dubbed Type 1.5, has been found.

How you react to being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes does not have to dictate how you feel about the disease. Type 2 diabetes, while a lethal disease, is not a death sentence. Your life is not at immediate risk just because you are a diabetic. Even though it is a serious cause for concern and you most definitely should work on a solution, there is no need to damn yourself or lose spirit. It is certainly possible to live well despite having to control the type of carbohydrates and fats you need to eat each and every day.

You may consider taking part in physical activity essential for weight loss. In reality, it is only beneficial. It is certainly possible to lose weight with minimal exercise but in that case, you would need to take note of your calorie intake and make sure your food choices are balanced and healthy. If you choose to lose weight without exercise, however, you would be missing out on many benefits…

Various kinds of antidiabetic medications work by different means and have varying effects on the body as a whole. As research into such effects progress, we learn more about how to tailor the best drug regimen for each person. In June of 2017, the New England Journal of Medicine reported on a study of canagliflozin (Ivokana), a member of the gliflozin family, and what other effects it might have besides the already known ones.

It seems as if more and more people become unhealthy with age. As you get older, the likelihood of developing Type 2 diabetes rises. Approximately one out of five people age 65 and over have Type 2 diabetes. You could argue aging does not make it easier for any of us because our body loses its ability to manage minor issues with ease. But you could also say over time; our health becomes burdened with stress. Years of poor habits inevitably catch up, causing many of us to play catch up with our health ironically. One condition you should be worried about as you age is the Metabolic Syndrome.

Here is a question for you: how long can you go without eating? Have you asked yourself this question before? Often people shy away from attempting any challenge that could benefit their health because it takes a lot of work. Many Type 2 diabetics are quick to say they would love to lose weight but when it comes time to put in the work, they start looking for excuses. To lose weight you have to eat fewer calories than your body expends.
