Publisher's Synopsis
Are you ready to change for better heath?
Type 2 diabetes can be controlled without medication in some cases. Many people with type 2 diabetes can self-regulate their blood sugar levels through careful eating and light exercise. Most type 2 diabetics are recommended to stay on low-fat diets, which are high in fiber and healthy carbs.
Some people with type 2 diabetes do need medication. Unlike type 1, insulin is not nearly as commonly needed for type 2. But, some people with type 2 diabetes do need insulin to supplement the reduced amount their pancreas may provide.
The most common medication given to type 2 diabetics is metformin. This prescription drug helps lower blood glucose levels and improve insulin sensitivity. Other drugs prescribed to people with type 2 diabetes include sulfonylureas, thiazolidinediones, and meglitinides, which all help increase insulin production or sensitivity.
Insulin resistance is also found in prediabetes or glucose intolerance. An estimated 79 million Americans have prediabetes. Studies have shown that losing 7 percent of your body weight, along with regular exercise, can decrease the risk of type 2 diabetes by 58 percent. Once you have diabetes, losing weight, regular exercise, eating carbohydrates in moderation, and maintaining a healthy diet can decrease insulin resistance. This, in turn, will promote better blood sugar control.
