Though diabetes is a damaging disorder worldwide, there are still people taking the disease lightly. They like to continue consuming the forbidden foods, lead a sedentary life and refuse to exercise. This disorder is very costly to the public at large as it saps out the funds that the state could use to finance more beneficial projects for the well-being of the citizens.
Not controlling diabetes can have a detrimental effect on your life years down the road. Why wait and accept the complications of diabetes instead of taking diabetes by the horn and boot it out of your life?
The complications of diabetes, once they creep up, can be very devastating to you and your loved ones. One complication is kidney failure. If you have this, you will be left to living your final life on syringes and dialysis. You have only one life to live. Why waste it?
The disorder which now affects 260 million people worldwide may reach a figure of 380 million by the year 2025 if no concrete actions are taken to combat this disorder. 10% to 20% of diabetics die of kidney failure. Diabetes forms the largest cause of kidney failure in developed countries and it is responsible for large dialysis cost. Every 10 seconds, a person dies from diabetes related complication. This is indeed tragic.
There are ways to overcome diabetes and it is just a matter of will power to reach a successful end.
1. Check what you eat everyday and make sure that the food is devoid of sugar. Avoid all flour-based foods and reduce your carbohydrate intake to a very possible minimum. If you need carbohydrate, focus on complex carbohydrate and refrain taking simple carbohydrates.
2. Have a regular exercise to boost your body system. Whether it is swimming, cycling, aerobic dancing or just brisk walking for 30 minutes, as long as you exercise, your body will be more receptive to insulin thus enabling good blood sugar level control.
3. Take supplements to compensate for body stress due to free radicals bombardment. Start with a multi vitamins and minerals tablet. In addition take omega 3 1000 mg twice daily, and evening primrose 1000 mg twice daily. Folic acid 15 mg daily. These are the secret weapons to optimum body maintenance that can add more years to your life.
