How to Look After Your Diabetes in a Healthy Way?
I am sure you are aware of the fact that our body temperature needs to be maintained at a constant 98.6 Fahrenheit. In the same manner our blood glucose level needs to be maintained within a very narrow range and this is a complex mechanism where the chief controllers are insulin and glucagon.
Diabetes is basically a lifestyle disease as they are triggered by what we eat, when we eat and our activity levels. To a lesser extent diabetes can also be triggered by depression, tension and trauma. As the concentration of our blood sugar increases our brain triggers a thirst signal.
This is an effort to get us to drink water and dilute the excess sugar in the blood. So if you are drinking an average three glasses of water a day but now you are drinking 5 or more glasses then you should consider a blood glucose test seriously.
This lead to increase in the number of times you need to urinate since excess intake of water results in excess urination. At this stage the urine which we are secreting is essentially the excess sugar and so it tends to be dark yellow.
Now you might ask me what exactly high blood pressure is, and what is the best treatment for diabetes in the medical industry. We need to learn more about the dangers of high blood pressure along with the commonly prescribed medications for hypertensions.
Blood pressure is basically the force of our blood pushing against the walls of our arteries each time our heart beats. Please remember that our blood pressure is highest each time our heart beats and during pumping blood into the arteries.
Now this is called systolic pressure and is the high number in our reading. The diastolic pressure measures the pressure between the beats when our heart is at rest. Our blood pressure is lowest while we are sleeping and although it varies during the day and remains close to the same.
Our normal blood pressure is 120/80 and if our systolic pressure rises to 140 and above and if our diastolic pressure rises to 90 then this is considered as an acute condition of high blood pressure. It is estimated that one in three adults in US have high blood pressure and this condition is also known as hypertension.
Most people don't even know that they are having it and no wonder this alarming condition has been called the silent killer. Again high blood pressure is a major risk factor for stroke, heart attack, heart failure and kidney failure.
The risk of heart attack and stroke increases several times with obesity, smoking, high blood cholesterol, and diabetes. If you are not having high blood pressure by the age of 55, then your chance of developing it at some point in your life is 90 percent and if you want to avoid it then please visithttp://anindyamunshithekiller.blogspot.in/2014/11/instant-diabetes-cure-diets-all-you.html
