In fact, many lifestyle choices can reduce one’s chance of developing type 2 diabetes,…

    Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is increasing every year to the extent that it has become a global epidemic. Diabetes UK report that globally form 1975 to 2010 it was estimated to treble from 70 million to 220 million and in the UK it was estimated that from 1980 to 2010 it would almost quadruple from 800,000 to 3 million (Diabetes UK 2004). A 2006 review by the World Health Organisation (WHO) has estimated that if the present trends continue, by 2025 the global prevalence of type 2 diabetes will reach the staggering number of 300 million especially among nations in the tropical pacific islands and among Asian Indians, Chinese and indigenous Australians, Hispanic Americans and African Americans. This rise is mirrored by the rise in the number of people who are abdominally obese. (Diamond 2003 cited by Beckwith 2010)…

    “Approximately 8% of all adults in the United States have diabetes, and the percentage is proportionally higher in Hispanic, American Indian, and African American populations” (Redman, 2007, page 106). Type 1 diabetes accounts for about 5% of all diagnosed cases of diabetes (Centers for Disease Control, 2012). Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in the U.S (National Conference of State Legislatures, 2014). “From 1990 through 2010, the annual number of new cases of diagnosed diabetes almost tripled” (Centers for Disease Control, 2012, page 4). The rise in the incidence of type 2 diabetes cases is associated with increases in obesity, decreases in leisure-time, physical activity, and the aging of the U.S. population. “A 2010 CDC study projected that as many as one of three U.S. adults could have diabetes by 2050 if current trends continue” (Centers for Disease Control, 2012, page 4).…

    Today in America, there is twice the amount of individuals who have impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), compared to individuals having type 2 diabetes. Of those individuals affected by IGT, close to half the percentage will succumb to type 2 diabetes during their lifespan. For many years weight management was viewed as the most effective intervention, to reduce the risk for individuals at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Due to the inconsistencies to maintain weight loss, weight management is viewed as no longer effective. Distinguished by its physical approach, oral anti-diabetic treatment of IGT has been highly favored. In the article, ‘Type 2 Diabetes Can Be Prevented With Early Pharmacological Intervention’, discovery on many preventative alternatives are discussed. One alternative, oral anti-diabetic agents, enhance insulin sensitivity and sustains β-cell function. These characteristics are abnormal in individuals with IGT and type 2 diabetes. DeFronzo and Abdul-Ghani highlight in their article how from several supported interventions, the most reliable outcomes have been detected with Metformin, an oral anti-diabetic drug. The U.S. Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) endorsed that Metformin reduced the incidence of IGT converting into type 2 diabetes by 31%. Metformin was also advocated by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) for treating high-risk individuals with IGT. Metformin, a glucagon-like peptide-1 analogs, increases insulin secretion, conserving β-cell function, and promotes weight loss, preventing the progression of IGT to type 2 diabetes.…

    Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder resulting from the body 's inability to properly use insulin. This is called insulin resistance. Insulin resistance means the body does not respond when insulin is present. This is the most common and there is no known cure. Between 2005-2007 diabetes has increased by 13.5%. 24 % of the world’s population goes undiagnosed. Diabetes affects over 150 million over the world. A Yale University study of obese children between the ages 4 and 18 appeared in the March14, 2002, issue of New England Journal of Medicine. It found that nearly a quarter had a condition that’s often a precursor to diabetes (Dr. Bernstein’s, 2003).…

    Carbohydrates are the body’s main energy source. The role of the digestive system is to break carbohydrates down into blood sugar glucose so it can be used for energy; in addition, glucose is needed for all body cells to maintain homeostatic balance. When the body loses its ability to maintain stable glucose levels, diabetes develops. In type 2 diabetes, cells in the body become increasingly resistant to the effects of insulin,…
