Pria Ini Ditolak 9 Travel Untuk Umroh Karena Bertato, Yang Terjadi Selanjutnya
A common misconception regarding Type 2 diabetes is all diabetics are overweight. It is true in most cases, those with Type 2 diabetes are either obese or overweight, and that's because central obesity is one of the primary causes of diabetes. But we must remember it's not the only cause. Diet plays a major role and so do your physical activity levels. Although not fully understood, family history and ethnicity also determine your chances of developing Type 2 diabetes as you age. Though you shouldn't worry about the latter factors. Worry about what you can control. Which brings us to the concept of the lean diabetic. As previously mentioned, Type 2 diabetes is not exclusive to overweight or obese individuals, nor is it exclusive to adults over the age of 40. In the modern-day, Type 2 diabetes has reached epidemic status, and we are now learning how it affects us in more ways than we previously knew. Let's take a look at Jordan, for instance. Jordan is 38 years old and works at a hotel. He alternates between working at the service desk and running common errands around the building, assisting the hotel's various guests. The nature of his job requires for the most part he is standing for most of his 10 to 12 hour workdays, and constantly moving and walking about. He is physically active throughout the day, and only gets a chance to eat during his 45-minute lunch break, and a quick snack during his 15-minute break later in the day. Because of this, Jordan has a lean physique, and is fortunate to be at a healthy weight as opposed to the majority of his peers. Unfortunately, the nature of his job causes him to be constantly thirsty. Moving around all day inevitably takes its toll. Jordan knows he should be drinking plenty of water but instead, he chooses to drink soda since it tastes great and it gives him the sugar-kick he needs. The problem is, overtime, one 750 ml bottle of soda per day became two, and later on three. Nowadays, Jordan drinks between 4 to 5 bottles of soda a day. It doesn't help he's allowed to have as many as he wants from the hotel break room refrigerator. One year later, Jordan still has a lean body despite having gained a few pounds, but he is now a Type 2 diabetic. Sugary drinks now upset his blood sugar levels and his weight. These days he has to be meticulous about his food choices so he can get control of his blood sugar levels and not be reliant of diabetes medications. The takeaway here is Type 2 diabetes can approach you in different ways, so you must be careful with what you put into your body... even if you're at a healthy weight. Although managing your disease can be very challenging, Type 2 diabetes is not a condition you must just live with. You can make simple changes to your daily routine and lower both your weight and your blood sugar levels. Hang in there, the longer you do it, the easier it gets.
