OVER 33 million Pakistani people are suffering from diabetes (report from the International Diabetes Federation (IDF)) and more than this are pre-diabetic. According to Pakistan medical community, we have reached the disaster proportion. Thanks to Allah, there are multiple steps we can take to preserve diabetes for a fit and healthier body.
Winning diabetes is not just trying to refrain from insulin Injections. Diabetes causes a lot of different health issues. But first, look at what exactly diabetes is.?
Diabetes is what?
Doctors
and the researchers’ community say having fasting blood glucose levels of
126mg/dL or higher than this. The span of 100-125mg/dL is considered pre-diabetic
and lower than this span is normal.
Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes
When
we discuss reserving diabetes it’s extremely important to get to know the type
of Diabetes.
Type
1 diabetes is insulin-dependent diabetes, and it is a chronic condition. In
type 1 diabetes pancreas makes no insulin or very small amounts of insulin (insulin
is the hormone that permits the body to enter the sugar into cells to produce energy).
Type 1 has no treatment.................
According to the Mayo Clinic, both kinds of diabetes have a variety of symptoms.
- Extreme Appetit
- Increased Thirst
- Weariness, And
- Sluggish Wound Healing
- Infection Frequently
- Blurry Vision
Diabetes
incidence in Pakistan in 2022
The
startling 16.98 percent prevalence of diabetes, which affects 35.3 million
adults in Pakistan, was discovered by the Diabetes Prevalence Survey of
Pakistan.
Common
Screening Test for Diabetes Type 1 and Type 2
Blood
Sugar Levels After Fasting
Your
blood sugar is measured here after an overnight fast (not eating). Fasting
blood sugar levels of 99 mg/dL or less are considered normal, 100 mg/dL to 125
mg/dL are considered to be prediabetic levels, and 126 mg/dL or above are
considered to be diabetes levels.
Test
for Glucose Tolerance
This
checks your blood sugar levels before and after consuming a glucose-containing
beverage. Before the test, you will fast (not eat) and have blood collected to
check your fasting blood sugar level. After consuming the beverage, your blood
sugar level will be monitored for an hour, two hours, and perhaps three hours
later. A blood sugar level of 140 mg/dL or less at two hours is regarded as
normal; 140 to 199 mg/dL denotes prediabetes; and 200 mg/dL or above denotes
diabetes.
Common
Causes of diabetes in Pakistan
- Being fat or overweight
- Both a sedentary lifestyle and a poor diet
- Genealogy and genetics.

Steps to Aid Your Body in Diabetes Recovery
The
good news is that most individuals who have Type 2 diabetes may reverse it or
significantly improve it by taking the appropriate actions, which is excellent
news.
1. Managed Insulin
Diabetes
is brought on by insulin resistance. Regaining normal insulin sensitivity can
assist in stopping the progression. Cut back on processed carbohydrates, wheat,
and sugar. Instead, emphasize wholesome meats, lipids, and leafy greens.
2.
Moderate Fats
Diabetes is a result of eating too many omega-6 fatty acids. The ideal Omega-3 to Omega-6 fat ratio is 1:1. Don't consume seed or vegetable oils high in omega-6. Seafood and sardines are two fatty fish that are rich providers of omega 3.
3.
Make gut repairs
I'm
not referring to the beer gut, either. Toxins and grains harm the lining of the
stomach and may result in a leaky gut. The issue gets worse when our guts don't
have enough beneficial microorganisms. Depletion of the microbiome is caused by
a poor diet, antibiotic use, and bottle feeding as a newborn.
For
healing, get rid of grains, stay away from pollutants, and take probiotics.
Some people's gut health can be harmed by grains, particularly gluten. even if
only sometimes consumed.
4.
Workout
The
advantages of physical activity for diabetes are acknowledged even by orthodox
medicine. It enhances insulin sensitivity in the muscles. It may eventually aid
in resolving insulin resistance.
But
not all forms of exercise are done equally. Insulin homeostasis is improved
more by daily high-intensity exercise than by an hour of moderate cardio.
Additionally, it aids in weight reduction better. In any case, I advise
high-intensity exercise due to its numerous health benefits.
5.
Shed Extra Pounds
Diabetes
and obesity frequently coexist. Which one causes which one is still up for
discussion? But research indicates that reducing your BMI can lessen the
effects of diabetes. Additionally, it lessens your likelihood of ever
developing it. Certain lifestyle and dietary adjustments can aid in weight loss
and can help reverse diabetes.
6.
Lessen Tension
Cortisol
is increased by stress, which may result in insulin problems and hormone
imbalances. Your chance of contracting particular diseases is also increased.
Improve your food, get enough of sleep, stay away from contaminants, and reduce your stress. Every night getting a good night's sleep is great for blood sugar control and can help lower levels of stress hormones. Attempt to treat the mental and emotional causes of stress as well. Tapping has been really beneficial to me.
7.
Supplement
You
can recover from diabetes with the use of supplements. They are especially
beneficial when your body returns to normal insulin responses. Alpha lipoic
acid, coenzyme Q10, cinnamon, omega-3 fatty acids, and garlic come to mind.
Additionally beneficial are magnesium and chromium.
8.
Understand your daily tasks.
- Even if you feel
well, take your medications. If you are experiencing any adverse effects from
your medication or can't afford it, let your doctor know.
- Every day, check
your feet for edema, redness, blisters, wounds, and blisters. Any sores should
be reported soon away to your medical team.
- To maintain the health of your teeth, teeth, and gums, brush your mouth and floss every day.
- Find out from your medical team how frequently and when to monitor your blood sugar.
- keep an eye on your blood sugar levels and record your results.
- If your doctor advises you to, take your blood pressure and note the readings.
Conclusion
The
field of diabetes research is always changing. I've listed my best research up
there, but you should also conduct your own! Please at least think about
changing some things for the better. To combat and prevent disease, healthy
food and a manner of life are very important.
Yes Good
