Adult Onset Diabetes (AKA glucose intolerance)is reaching epidemic proportions. The main causes of this disease are obesity, lack of physical exercise and stress. Can it be prevented? Yes, it can. In July 2004 after 2 abscesses in 6 months, my blood sugar was tested and I was found to be pre-diabetic. Pre-diabetes is a danger zone for your blood glucose level, higher than normal but below true diabetic glucose levels. If changes are not made to lower it back to normal levels diabetic problems will probably occur soon. My doctor sent me to a Certified Diabetes Educator for a 2 hour session on the disease and proper eating habits. It took over a year but I got my glucose level back to normal.

Just a few lifestyle changes can prevent Diabetes. First, exercise more. Your goal should be 5-30 minute workouts weekly with both aerobics and strength training. Exercise helps prevent Glucose Intolerance in several ways. It increases your muscle mass, enabling you to burn more fat. It also transfers glucose from your bloodstream and into your muscles. (glucose is muscle fuel) Exercise also helps control stress.

Eating habits can help you dodge diabetes. The most important is eat breakfast, the first meal after arising from sleep. People who skip breakfast end up eating too much at lunch. People need to break out of the "3 square meals a day" box and try to eat smaller meals supplemented with snacks throughout the day. This way, your glucose level will not rollercoaster during the day with accompanying hunger attacks and the resultant unnecessary overeating. Avoid high fat foods,(bacon, sausage) processed foods, (microwave meals,candies, cakes) and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. You will notice increased energy and concentration levels even if you are not pre-diabetic or have normal blood glucose levels.

Final Tip: the treatments for high blood sugar are not always the same, by researching and comparing the different => high blood sugar treatments <= you will get the one that is right for you. Fortunately, it has been reported the effectiveness of some natural supplements and prescribed medication. Also, there are natural remedies and treatments that are very safe and work to treat your blood glucose problems without any flaw.
