Reduce Weight

Obesity is the mother of many diseases.
Obsity is strongly linked to diabetes, such that a new term, diabesity, has been coined to denote those cases where diabetes is directly linked to obesity. There have been many cases of morbidly obese diabetic patients who become non-diabetic after losing weight, In such cases, the diabetes was cured!So the first preventive and therapeutic strategy is to lose weight if you are obese, and to maintain a healthy normal weight if you are not. If you are overweight of obese, reducing your weight will also help normalise your lipids, and lower your risk of hypertension, heart disease, stroke, joint problem, and pssibly even cancer.

However only 20% of diabetics are obese. Which means that the other risk factors are also significant.

Exercise

If you are already diabetes, you can certainly expect improvement in your condition if you exercise enough. The benefits of regular exercise go beyond feeling fresh and evergetic.

There are very few muscular diabetics. Firstly if you build mscles, it mean you do lots of exercise, and have improved your cardiovascular health, apart from many other benefits. you also reduce your body fat and improve your carbohydrate metabolism. Muscles burn glucose efficiently and therefore help maintain normal glucose levels, and prevent excess fat deposition.

Regular exercise and building muscles are therefore important components of my prevention and treatment for diabetics.
