There are more and more people out there being diagnosed with sugar diabetes today. You may think that it is all because of your family history. To a point that is true but more than likely it is because of the lifestyle that you are living. Sugar diabetes is more common in adults but it now starting to show up in children as well. Research has shown that starches and sugars have similar effect on blood sugar levels. Sugar doesn't cause blood sugar levels to rise any more rapidly than starches do. The total amount of carbohydrate consumed is the issue. However, many sugary foods have a very high concentration of carbohydrates in a relatively small portion size. So people with diabetes can have sugary foods, BUT, in moderation. No matter what you family history might be, you could still be at risk for sugar diabetes because of how you are living. You could be putting yourself at a higher risk if you are not eating right and not getting the exercise that is needed to stay healthy. When you start to eat poorly and stop exercising you may notice that you are gaining a lot of weight and getting more tired than what you used to be. This is mainly because you metabolism did slow down and you will have less energy to get through the day easier. When you are in doubt about sugar diabetes with yourself and your children, all you would need to do is take time and make an appointment with the doctor. Discuss all the effects of sugar diabetes and what all you will need to do so that you may be able to prevent it. |
