Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes

A common complication of obesity is type 2 Diabetes. If you have been diagnosed with this disease your treatment has to be designed to reduce your weight and therefore reduce the amount of insulin your body needs. The ideal waist measurement for women is approximately 32 inches or as a maximum under 35 inches.
The girth (maximum waist measurement) is all important as the fat that is particularly rich in the hormones that help to lead to excessive weight tends to be that which is laid down within your abdominal cavity and around your intestines, as well as the superficial fat around the exterior of your abdominal wall that can give rise to the so called apple rather than pear shape.




The first step to reduce girth is to slowly increase your daily, regular brisk but not violent exercise. This decreases the need for insulin and improves your metabolism so that excess calories are burnt up more readily. It is important to exercise for at least 20 minutes per day; the best option would be 30 minutes or longer. However, prior to engaging in strenuous activity it is best to consult with your physician first. It is also important to avoid calorie rich foods and excess fats, especially saturated ones.
Most physicians believe that the glycaemic index is useful therefore they often recommend people who have been diagnosed with obesity and type 2 diabetes buy a booklet that explains glycaemic index the difference in the way the calories taken in the form of highly refined sugars and the complex carbohydrates, such as root vegetables, peas and beans are metabolised. The higher the glycaemic index the more immediate is the effect of the carbohydrate on the blood sugar.
Substances with a high glycaemic index are converted into sugar quickly. A great book that helps with this topic is "The GI factor" published by Hodder and Stoughton. It is written in a readable way by an eminent nutritionist Professor Anthony Leeds and colleagues. Also it is important to avoid added salt.




Don't forget that it is also important to keep a close eye on blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Research has shown that anyone with obesity and type 2 diabetes does better if they take statins, even if their cholesterol, whether or not their overall and/or low density lipoprotein LDL is raised. Although cholesterol comes from our diet, more than 80 per cent of cholesterol in our bodies is made by the liver. Statins will, in effect, slow the action of an enzyme in the liver that plays a key role in the manufacture of cholesterol. This will typically cause the level of blood cholesterol to drop
