Hello, my name is Jason Sunnarborg and this is my personal blog about my Health and Nutrition business. I will be updating this blog every day or two and I know you will find the information I post to be interesting. If you ever have any questions or comments about any of the topics, feel free to contact me through my websites or just call me.


WHAT IS DIABETES


Diabetes is a disease that affects how your body uses blood glucose(blood sugar). Glucose is very important to your good health because it is a source of energy for the cells in your muscles and tissues. It is your brain's main source of fuel.


HOW DO I KNOW I HAVE DIABETES


Only a licensed physician can diagnose and treat diabetes. There are however several different symptoms associated with diabetes. These symptoms are good warning signs to go get checked for diabetes by a licensed physician.


Symptoms- Increased thirst, Frequent urination, Extreme hunger, Fatigue, Blurred vision, Slow-healing sores, Mild high blood pressure, Frequent infections


This list is by no means complete. Once again, I am not a qualified professional and I cannot diagnose or treat diabetes. However, if you do recognise some of these symptoms, I strongly urge you get yourself checked for diabetes by a licensed physician.


WHY IS WEIGHT SO IMPORTANT


During the digestion process of your food, sugar is released into your bloodstream. Sugar then enters your cells with the help of insulin. Insulin comes from your Pancreas. When you eat, the Pancreas releases insulin into your bloodstream as well. As insulin circulates, it helps your blood sugar enter your cells. So then insulin helps lower the amount of sugar in your bloodstream. As blood sugar drops, then so does the level of insulin. The reason your weight is so important is because the more fatty tissue you have, the more resistant to insulin your cells become. According to the Mayo clinic, studies have shown, losing just 5-10% of your body weight if you are overweight can make a significant difference in your blood sugar control. Not to mention the benefits you gain from a healthier heart, more energy and improved self-esteem.


CAN HERBALIFE HELP


That is an absolute YES! Healthy weight loss may be the most beneficial, nutritional approach to prevent or control diabetes. There is a caution however. People who are on insulin or medications to lower blood sugar levels are cautioned, that as you lose weight your blood sugar levels may drop. It is highly advised that as you lose weight, your physician monitors you so you do not develope Hypoglycemia(low blood sugar) and medications can be adjusted as needed.
