Is a cure coming soon?
We all wish a cure would be here today. Sadly,
due to the complex nature of Diabetes a complete
cure has not been found yet. Promising progress
is made however. Type 1 diabetes research has
resulted in some interesting possible cures lately.
Though more tests are needed before such a
medicine could be mass produced and made
available for patients.

Diabetes causes depressions?
They can, just like every other disease. Most
depressions related to diabetes will last a few
weeks. If you have been depressed for more
than 2 - 3 weeks then you will need to visit
your doctor. You may have a major depression
causes by something other than diabetes.
Depressions related to diabetes are caused by
the effects diabetes has on the blood stream.
Your brains do not receive the normal amount
of blood causing (usually) light depressions.
Diabetes patients are more at risk of developing
Alzheimer’s disease due to this.


Exercise is important? Why?
It is very important in controlling your weight,
blood pressure, and glucose. Regular exercise
can lower the risk of heart disease. 30 minutes of physical activity 5 days a week is recommended.
This does not have to be intensive activity, but
enough to use most of of your bodies' muscles.

Some activities that are great for much needed
exercise are : swimming, running, bicycling,
dancing, mowing the lawn. Start slowly and
increase the duration of your activity step by
step. Pick the activity you enjoy most!

How to prevent diabetes?
Some forms of diabetes are not completely
preventable. However, you can reduce the
chances of getting it by exercising and losing
weight. If you are overweight then developing
diabetes is very likely. It is no coincidence that in
today's overweight society diabetes is a very
common disease. We do too little physical
activity, and our eating habits are unhealthy.
This must stop for hundreds of reasons. A study
has shown that reducing your overall body weight
with 5 to 7% can have a very possible effect on
preventing diabetes. It's definitely worth having
a healthy weight. Not just to prevent diabetes.

What is pre-diabetes?
If your blood glucose levels are higher than
normal but are not yet reaching diabetes levels,
then you are called a pre-diabete. The problem
with pre-diabetes is that you will not usually
experience any symptoms. Regular check-ups
are therefore even more important in today's
world. Your doctor will be able to help you further.


Smoking and diabetes
We don't have to tell you how unhealthy smoking
is for your body. But perhaps you did not know
that smoking raises your blood glucose levels, and
blood pressure. Both of these are highly damaging
to people with diabetes. We know it won't be easy
to stop smoking - but continuing, especially with
this disease, will cause your health to worsen
further and further. Smoking and diabetes both
cause your immune system to "lower it's defenses"
considerably - making you a lot more receptable
to viruses and other diseases.
