Reversing
Type 2 Diabetes on Your Own - Diabetes and Vertigo Connection
Brazilian
researchers have just published a review of scientific literature on that
subject in the journal Revista CEFAC, looking at the reasons why it happens.
Systemic
arterial hypertension. Diabetics have higher blood pressure in their arteries.
This restricts blood flow, so organs like the inner ear get less oxygen than
they should, and less oxygen there means a higher chance of balance disorders.
Your inner ears need a lot of nutrients, but they can’t store them. That’s why it’s
vital for healthy arteries to keep bringing them fresh supplies.
Obesity. People with a body mass index above 30 (and
so classified as obese) are more likely to have vertigo, but it wasn’t clear why.
Peripheral
neuropathy. Nerve damage around the body makes walking more difficult, and many
people feel dizzy and off-balance with it.
The
symptoms of vertigo are pretty similar in
both diabetics and nondiabetics:
Unsteadiness
in the dark and on uneven surfaces. Peripheral neuropathy makes it harder for diabetics to maintain their postures and to
walk evenly when their legs are affected.
Balance
problems when looking at moving objects. This is a common symptom for all vertigo sufferers.
Postural
instability when moving your head or body quickly. This is another common
symptom of vertigo. Since you already feel dizzy while
stationary, your brain struggles even more to make sense of balance information
when you start moving fast. This is especially true for diabetics with peripheral neuropathy where
their legs are affected, making all their movements erratic and unpredictable.
Stumbling and falling. Previous studies
have found that obese people are more likely to fall, and they struggle to
carry out normal daily tasks.
Diabetics with peripheral neuropathy also fall more
often than those with normal nerve function, because it’s harder for them to
walk evenly.
This
study underlines yet another reason why maintaining a healthy weight is so
important. It helps to prevent diabetes, which then helps to keep vertigo at bay.
It’s
also a reminder that the body works as a complete system, where all the various
parts need to be healthy for everything to work together properly.
Vertigo may be an inner ear disorder, but it’s not
just caused by problems with your ears.
Reversing
Type 2 Diabetes on Your Own
A
new study published in the journal Diabetes
Care proves that people with diabetes can drastically improve, or even
cure their disease, without medications if given the right information and
management tools.
Although
this is of course no news to us natural health researchers who have been
supporting people to do this for decades, it’s a great victory to have this
acknowledged.
Scientist
identified 81 adults in their early 20s with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. All of the subjects were
from low socio-economic backgrounds, and all were English or Spanish speakers
from Los Angeles County.
The
researchers divided the subjects into two groups:
–
One to receive an occupational therapy program
– The other to receive general educational material
– The other to receive general educational material
The
occupational therapy program they tested was called Resilient, Empowered,
Active Living with Diabetes (or REAL Diabetes, for short).
It
consisted of a manual with seven activity-focused chapters: (1) assessment and
goal-setting, (2) living with diabetes, (3) access and
advocacy, (4) activity and health, (5) social support, (6) emotions and
well-being, and (7) long-term health.
The
contents of the chapters were very practical and focused on specific steps
towards behavior change.
An
occupational therapist worked through one chapter with the subjects biweekly to
make the process interactive.
The
general educational group received standardized educational material together
with a biweekly phone call.
The
researchers, who did not know which participants received which program, were
responsible for assessing the subjects hemoglobin A1c levels (their average
level of blood sugar over the past two to three
months), their diabetes self-care, their diabetes-related quality of life,
their diabetes distress, their depressive symptoms, and their life
satisfaction.
All
subjects were tested at the beginning of the study and again after six months
to check whether there was an improvement.
After
six months, the REAL Diabetes program group showed a significant more
improvement in hemoglobin A1c, in diabetes-related quality of life, and in
habit strength for self-monitoring blood glucose.
The
fact that both programs included the same amount of human interaction suggests
that human interaction was not the reason for the effectiveness of the REAL
Diabetes program.
The
authors speculated that the REAL program’s success was due to its ability to
build healthy goals and habits in the participants.
This
shows that given the right information and tools, people can move mountains.
Reversing
Type 2 Diabetes on Your Own - Beat Type 2 Diabetes 47%
If
you’re a mother, according to a new study published in JAMA Internal Medicine, you
can lower your risk of type 2 diabetes by a whopping 47% by doing
this one thing.
Not
only that, you will also help protect your child from both type 1 and type 2
diabetes in addition to tons of other health benefits.
For
this study, scientists analyzed information already collected by a long-term
study called Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults.
The
researchers identified 1,238 subjects, all women between the ages of 18 and 30
at the beginning of the study.
They
were all diabetes-free at the beginning and all of them gave birth to at least
one baby during subsequent years.
All
of the subjects reported their breastfeeding duration for each baby and their
diabetes status was tested at least seven times throughout the following 30
years.
Compared
to women who never breastfed, those who did it for six months or less had a 25%
smaller risk of developing diabetes later in their lives.
Also,
compared to non-breastfeeders, those who breastfed for more than six months had
a 47.5% smaller chance of dodging the diabetes bullet.
Interestingly,
past studies have also concluded that breastfeeding can prevent your kids from
developing diabetes.
For
example, in a 2014 article in the journal Jornal de Pediatria, scientists reviewed 21
relevant studies, nine on type 1 diabetes and 12 on type 2 diabetes.
The
majority of the studies concluded that longer breastfeeding conferred a lower
risk of both types of diabetes.

This
post is from the 3 Steps Diabetes Strategy Program. It was created by Jodi
Knapp from Blue Heron health news that has been recognized as one of the top
quality national health information websites.
In this program, Jodi
Knapp shares practical tips and advice on how you can prevent and cure diabetes
naturally. She also dispels myths commonly associated with diabetes, like for
example, diabetes being a lifelong condition. There are also lots of
information going around that is simply not true and she’s here to correct it.
Diabetes is a
disease, and it can be cured. This is just one of the important tips Jodi
reveals in her program. Also she included several ways in preventing the onset
of disease, choosing the right food to eat, recommended vitamin supplements,
the right time of the day to take the blood sugar and many more.
But the most amazing
thing would have to be her program which only takes 3 simple steps to help you
to control & treat type 2 diabetes. What it does is cure diabetes without
having to rely on expensive drugs, diets that make sufferers crave for even
more food they are not supposed to eat, and exercise programs that make people
feel tired and depressed.
