			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is still no known cure for Type 2 diabetes but there are treatments focused in managing the body&#8217;s lowered insulin or resistance to insulin. These conditions lead to high blood glucose levels, resulting to diabetes. The exact cause still remains a mystery considering that most diabetes sufferers are type 2.</p>
<p>However, assumptions have it that obesity can be the culprit due to the large amount of fat concentration found in the waistline. Accordingly, said fats affect the abdominal organs from functioning properly.</p>
<p>Other causes linked to type 2 diabetes include age, heredity, and lately the environment, based on issues concerning polycarbonate plastic traces (ketones) found in the urine of type 2 diabetics.</p>
<p>Type 2 diabetes is a progressive disease and its treatment may start from oral medication to insulin injection if the damaged insulin secretion continues to deteriorate.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span id="more-35"></span>Hence, type 2 diabetes being an incurable disease may progress into type 1 and will now require insulin augmentation. Through medication, <a title="fat loss diet" href="http://www.hyperfatloss.com">nutritional diet and exercise</a> will keep the blood sugar level near to normal to prevent complications.</p>
<p>The absence of a cure for type 2 diabetes and the possible complications make it necessary for a diabetic sufferer to <a title="natural remedy" href="http://www.minusdiabetes.com/go/naturalremedy.htm">manage his treatments</a> in the best-recommended ways possible.</p>
<p>Otherwise short-term complications may crop up such as:</p>
<p>1. Rise in blood sugar levels or otherwise known as hyperglycemia.<br />
2. Increased ketones in the urine or diabetic ketoacidosis.<br />
3. Low blood sugar or hypoglycemia which if left untreated will result to seizures and loss of consciousness (coma).</p>
<p>On the other hand, it may also lead to long-term complications like:</p>
<p>1. Heart ailments and other blood vessel diseases.<br />
2. Skin and mouth sores and other ailments.<br />
3. Osteoporosis.<br />
4. Alzheimer&#8217;s disease and damages to the nerve (neuropathy).<br />
5. Kidney (nephropathy).<br />
6. Eye disorders known as diabetic retinopathy.<br />
7. Incurable foot disease.</p>
<p>In worst cases, the sufferer will likely become disabled or die if not immediately acted upon.</p>
<p>There is no exact cure for type 2 diabetes but there are recent studies underway in search for a type 2 diabetes cure.  Recently, <strong>gastric bypass surgery was introduced and it is said to normalize the blood glucose level of severely obese patients by as much as 80 percent to 100 percent.</strong> Surgical procedure is required, which involves the rerouting of the gastrointestinal tract to reduce the occurrence of diabetes.</p>
<p>This is different from gastric bonding or restricting the size of the stomach, which aims to induce massive weight loss. Extensive studies are still being undertaken to perfect and develop gastric bypass surgery as the possible standard cure for type 2 diabetes.</p>
<p>In the absence of any new developments in relation to type 2 diabetes cure, the sufferer should manage the disease by taking medications as scheduled, constantly monitoring the blood sugar level, <a title="diet for diabetes" href="http://www.minusdiabetes.com/diets-for-diabetes-counting-the-carbs-and-the-calories/">eating the right foods</a>, engaging in a physical activity under the supervision of the doctor, and accepting all these treatments as a part of a diabetic’s way of lie.</p>
<p>A well-managed treatment in a type 2 diabetes patient can provide a longer life without complications.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Affliction with diabetes requires knowing not only the treatments but also of knowing ways on how to prevent diabetes. We can prevent diabetes if we know how our body acquired the disease.</p>
<p>Having diabetes is having high blood sugar level. This is due to the absence of insulin to convert the sugar in the body into energy. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas to regulate the body metabolism.</p>
<p>Normally, the role of insulin is to convert carbohydrates and proteins to amino acids during and after eating. There is an abrupt rise of glucose being absorbed in the bloodstream after eating. The pancreas will now trigger the beta cells to produce insulin to <a title="natural remedy" href="http://www.minusdiabetes.com/go/naturalremedy.htm">normalize the sugar level</a>.</p>
<p>If there is no sufficient insulin to compensate for the rise in sugar level, there will be an oversupply of sugar resulting to hyperglycemia or diabetes. The sugar is now excreted in the urine instead of having a supply of energy that the body can use.</p>
<p><span id="more-21"></span>Henceforth, the matter of diabetes prevention must take into consideration some of the following guidelines:</p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> Maintain a <a title="weight loss blog" href="http://www.hyperfatloss.com">body weight</a> at the ideal level by having a regular exercise. Exercise normalizes blood flow and increases the sensitivity of the pancreas to produce insulin.</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> Avoid being overweight in both children and adults; and adults over 45 years old should have regular screening for type 2 diabetes. This way, the rise in the blood sugar level is being monitored.</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> Sustain a <a title="hypertension blog" href="http://www.minusbloodpressure.com">blood pressure</a> level of 130/80 mm/Hg or lower. This will prevent overworking the kidney.</p>
<p><strong>4.</strong> If diabetes is controlled, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), should be checked every 6 months, or 3 months at the least.</p>
<p><strong>5.</strong> Aspire for a low-density lipoprotein (LDL) of less than 100 and high density lipoprotein (HDL) of above 40, to avoid arterial clogging which can lead to heart attacks.</p>
<p><strong>6.</strong> Take a yearly kidney test.</p>
<p><strong>7.</strong> Consult an opthalmologist who specializes in diabetic retinopathy at least once a year. Diabetics usually experience blurry vision leading to blindness.</p>
<p><strong>8.</strong> Eat foods rich in fiber like breads, pasta, rice, whole grain cereals or crackers. Also, eat fruits, vegetables, lean meats, fish, skinless chicken or turkey and low-fat milk.  Always consume a low fat and a low salt food.</p>
<p><strong>9.</strong> Quit smoking if you are a smoker.</p>
<p><strong>10.</strong> Avoid too much stress. Treat stress as a part of life by learning to handle it during stressful times. Stress can cause blood glucose to rise.</p>
<p>Following these guidelines may prevent diabetes.</p>
