UNDERSTANDING INSULIN

• Hormone produced in pancreas for getting glucose (sugar) into the cells for energy for the body

• When body overwhelmed by too much sugar, insulin cannot be produced fast enough to process it and the body becomes glucose-intolerant

TYPE I DIABETES

• Classic form of diabetes– Traditionally diagnosed in

children or young adults – usually by age 30

– Often considered to be genetic

– Body does not produce insulin

– Body’s immune system destroys insulin-producing cells in the pancreas

– Also known as “juvenile onset”

TYPE II DIABETES• Type II represents 90-95% • Can be present in children• Pre-diabetes also increases

risk of heart disease.• Gestational diabetes

– About 4% of pregnancies– Increases complications for

mother and child.• Generally manifests later in

life and may have a nutritional origin

UNCONTROLLED DIABETES

• May damage nerves– Foot problems – Can lead to the need for

amputation• Body more vulnerable to:

– Skin infections– Eye diseases– Heart disease– Kidney infections– High blood pressure

• May bring on insulin resistance syndrome (metabolic syndrome)

CAUSES OF UNCONTOLLED DIABETES

Syndrome• BAD FATS!!!!

TRADITIONAL TREATMENT

• Type 1– Insulin - various types of

insulin,– Classed by how fast they work

and how long they last• Type 2 –

– Oral medications – Still produce some insulin – Can overcome, if willing to

make dietary changes and exercise regularly

BLOOD SUGAR TESTINGNORMALS

• Fasting Blood Glucose70-99 milligrams per deciliter(126 or higher – prediabetes)

• 2 Hours After Eating (postprandial):70-145

• Random (casual):70-125(200 or higher for these)

INFECTIONS

hours• Check for ketones• Check temperature• Don’t stop taking insulin• Oral meds might have to stop

if vomiting is occurring– Check with physician

STRESS

• Can significantly affect ability to control diabetes

• Adopt a positive attitude• Be nice to yourself• Talk to others about your

stress• Take time to relax• Meditate• Exercise

EXERCISE

• Moderate is best– Takes up glucose at almost

20 times the normal rate to lower blood sugar level!

• Intense exercise can have the opposite effect and actually increase blood glucose levels – especially for diabetics

STRENGTH TRAINING• Strength training has profound

effects • 16 weeks of strength training

produced dramatic improvement in sugar control comparable to taking medication.

• Participants felt stronger, gained muscle, lost fat, were less depressed, and felt more self-confident.
