Treatment -
* Patients with impaired glucose tolerance are managed at the direction of the physician. In general, no treatment is given to elderly people, but diet and weight reduction are advised in younger subjects. Dietary factors also influence the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Consumption of sugar-sweetened drinks in excess is associated with an increased risk. The type of fats in the diet is also important, with saturated fats and trans fatty acids increasing the risk and polyunsaturated and rnonounsaturated fat decreasing the risk. Eating lots of white rice appears to also play a role in increasing risk. Nutrition recommendations for a healthy lifestyle for the general public are also appropriate for persons with type 2 diabetes. Because many persons with type 2 diabetes are overweight and insulin resistant, medical nutrition therapy should emphasize lifestyle changes that result in reduced energy intake and increased energy expenditure through physical activity. Many people with diabetes also have dyslipidemia and hypertension, making reductions in dietary intake of saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium desirable. Therefore, the emphasis of nutrition therapy for type 2 diabetes is on lifestyle strategies to reduce glycemia, dyslipidemia, and blood pressure. These strategies should be implemented as soon as the diagnosis of diabetes is made.
* Blood glucose level in a well-managed diabetic should always be less than 200mg/dl. It is necessary to avoid the
Type 2 Diabetes effects about 90% of people who have diabetes. Ways of controlling this type is by losing weight, having a healthy diet, plenty of exercise, and monitoring their blood-glucose levels. Although people people do these things to help, Type 2 is usually a progresses disease where is gets worse, and causes the person to have to take insulin usually in the form of a tablet. People who are overweight and obese have a significantly higher risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes as apposed to those who are at a healthy body weight. Those that are especially at risk are those who have visceral fat, which is also known as central obesity, belly fat, or abdominal obesity. Being overweight of physically inactive along side with eating the wrong foods all increase the risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes. The risk also rises with our age, because as we age we tend to become less active as well as gain weight. When men have low levels of testosterone levels they also get placed at a higher
Mediterranean diet, a low-carbohydrate, high protein diet, a vegan diet and a vegetarian diet all of which to have shown to improve metabolic conditions. The degree of the improvement varies from patient to patient therefore, it is necessary to evaluate each patient based on their only needs and individual metabolic demands. It is recommended that patients with pre-diabetes be made aware of beneficial nutrition intervention. Knowing what diet is best for the patient can significantly help with the risks of developing diabetes type 2. Medical nutrition therapy plays a role at three levels, primary prevention, secondary and tertiary prevention. For the purpose of this paper primary prevention is observed to help aim in delaying or arresting the development of diabetes. Different types of diet have been shown to be associated with improvement in metabolic condition. Modest weight loss has been shown to improve insulin resistance so either a low carbohydrate, low-fat calorie-resistance, or Mediterranean diet may be effective in the short term (Khazrai et al.,
Type 2 Diabetes is a disease that is found in a variety of age groups around the world. This disease is growing at a rapid rate and it is impacting the health of this generation and future generations to come. Diabetes is a disease that impairs the body’s ability to produce or respond to the insulin hormone produced by the pancreas. The insulin allows for the glucose to be effectively used as energy throughout the body. Diabetes causes carbohydrates to be abnormally digested, which can raise blood glucose levels. This means that the glucose is not being taken up by the cells that need it. The cells cannot take up the excess glucose that has accumulated in the blood, so it is excreted through the urine. This can lead to problems with the kidneys, central nervous system, heart, and eyes because high blood glucose can damage the blood vessels of these organs. This diseased is managed by adopting a diet low in fat and high in fiber, increasing physical activity, losing excess weight, and not smoking. If this
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is the most common form of diabetes (American Diabetes Association, 2012). T2D is so prevalent that it is estimated to be the fifth most common cause of death worldwide (Yates, Jarvis, Troughton, and JaneDavies, 2009, p. 1). T2D manifests when the body is unable to metabolize glucose properly, resulting in elevated blood sugar, debilitating fatigue, and other serious complications such as distal limb amputations, kidney failure, and blindness. The generally accepted causes of T2D include diet, sedentary lifestyle, and obesity.
The increase in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes is causing huge health problem through out the world including developed countries. Mostly people with low income groups are affected in developed countries (Zimmet 2001).The magnitude of the healthcare problem of type 2 diabetes results mainly from its association with obesity and cardiovascular risk factors. Indeed, type 2 diabetes has now been identified as one manifestation of the “metabolic syndrome”, a condition characterised by insulin resistance and associated with a range of cardiovascular factors (Jonathan 2003)
Type two diabetes is the most common disease today, and it has a great impact on the lives of many people in the United States. Type two diabetes results when the body is resistant to insulin or impaired secretion of insulin by the pancreatic beta cells. The pancreas produces too much insulin, but over time it is not able to make an adequate amount of insulin needed in order to move the glucose into the cells. However, there are many factors that lead to type two diabetes. They are known to be genetic, high body weight, previously identified impaired fasting glucose levels or impaired glucose tolerance, family history of diabetes, and history of gestational diabetes or delivery of a baby over 9 pounds. Type two diabetes effects about 90% to 95% of the cases of disease in the US (Hinkle & Cheever, 2013). It's

Diabetes has become a widespread epidemic, primarily because of the increasing prevalence and incidence of type 2 diabetes. Diabetes is an endocrine disease in which the body has either a shortage of insulin or a decrease ability to use insulin or both. Insulin is a hormone that allows glucose to enter the cells and be converted into energy. Diabetes can be characterized as a prevailing, incapacitating, and deadly disease. There are a number of risk factors that increase a person’s tendency toward developing type II diabetes. Modifiable risk factors include obesity, physical inactivity and poor dietary habits are just a few. The
Type 2 diabetes has been a rising issue in today’s society. It has been found in many people in America at younger ages. Now that insurance companies are requiring screening to be done every year to receive reduced the monthly payments. Type 2 diabetes has affected my family just recently. My husband was diagnosed last February. He has struggled with maintaining his blood sugars over that last year. It is a hard diagnosis to make accommodations to. It is a big life style change for not only the diabetic, but also their family. Diet, exercise and family history play big roles in the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes.
level is higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. Left untreated
A systematic literature review was conducted to include articles published in English and limited to peer-reviewed journal articles written after the year 2000. The databases used were Scopus, PubMed and Medline. Two series of search terms were used: 1) (diabetes) AND (food OR fruit OR vegetable OR nutrition
Type II Diabetes is the condition where the body makes insulin (hormone that is needed by the cells to turn glucose from the foods we eat into energy), but the body is unable to use it properly. To compensate for this, the pancreas (organ where insulin is produced) produces more insulin, but overtime the insulin just accumulates in the blood which in turn leads to various health complications. Type II diabetes is also called insulin resistance. The dietary teaching for Mr. Smith who has type 2 diabetes would include information that covers the topics of weight management, meal planning, and blood glucose monitoring. (WedMD)
Gary Scheiner has experiences 32 years for type 1 diabetes. He is an author of many books. He also works with patients and focuses more on type 1 diabetes. After I attended the meeting, I learned that diabetes people need to keep their scale balance between physical activities, food intake and psychological. I gained deeper understanding about diabetes nutritional. That knowledge will help me in my future career, and it gave me a chance to review what I learned from classes that are actually apply to the reality. I learned that people who intake more fat in their meal, it would decrease the slow digestion. Besides that, huge amount of fat can cause insulin resistance that is the main reason of type 2 diabetes. When body has high insulin, the liver will have to work harder to secrete more than usual. Based on what information that he presented, I was able to see a brighter picture of what I learned from classes, and now it makes more sense to me in reality. Next, I learned that protein could also raise blood sugar. However, there are only two special case that protein can raise blood sugar are when people do not have enough carbohydrates, or when they eat too much protein. In these cases, protein can increase the blood sugar very fast. Besides protein and fat, people who have diabetes should decrease carbohydrate intake. There is only one type of carbohydrate will not increase blood sugar is fiber. That is why people with diabetes are highly
Type II diabetes is another major effect from improper diet and nutrition. When someone is a type II diabetic, their body either produces too little of an amount of insulin, or their body’s cells ignore the insulin. Insulin is important in helping your body use sugar for
