Type 2 diabetes is one of the leading diseases that has affected a number of people all over the world. Young or old, a person may suffer from high glucose content in the blood for several factors. Some may have diabetes because it runs in the genes while most are suffering from it because of their lifestyle. Their choice of foods and drinks and the lack of regular exercise has put them at high risk to develop diabetes and live with it for the rest of their lives.
Diabetes is a disease is characterized by the fact that the body's pancreas is no longer capable of producing insulin that the body needs to regulate the amount of sugar levels in the blood. Over time, patients with diseases develop life-threatening complications because the body begins to resist insulin that it is given with. One could suffer from a heart attack or stroke due to their diabetes.
People who have Type 2 Diabetes have to find alternative ways to regulate blood sugar levels in their body and growing evidence of giving up one component of their regular meals to help keep their blood levels at a manageable level. Recent studies claim that a low to no carbohydrate intake should help a person with diabetes to get over it.
Researchers from the Bispebjerg Hospital in collaboration with the other researchers including those from the Aarhus University and the Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports as well as those from the University of Copenhagen revealed that a low-carb diet is going to help them make lose weight and regular blood sugar levels. Findings show that patients may improve their blood sugar levels if they consume foods with less to no carbohydrate content. The study also recommends that patients with diabetes consume more foods rich in good fat and protein.
There is a growing body of evidence that supports the claims that such type of diet routine will speed up the process of weight loss and lower blood sugar levels. Although such evidence prove to be sourced out of conventional wisdom, the NHS has long advised patients with diabetes to control their intake of foods rich in carbohydrates as these foods are broken down by the body and turned into glucose.
According to the report released by the Danish Health Authority, up to 85% of the patients diagnosed with diabetes are overweight, that's why the main focus of the treatment is to help them lose the excess weight. Since the central aspect of the treatment for Type 2 diabetes is concentrated on food intake, recommendations, as to skip carbohydrates-rich foods, should help work things out.
Diabetes is a lifestyle disease, so even the small changes in the lifestyle of the patient including their choice of food to eat should help in their way.
