But over time the overworked pancreatic beta cells lose their ability to produce extra insulin -- they "burn out." Then blood sugar levels remain elevated, a condition termed hyperglycemia. Blood levels of insulin can also become very high: this is known as hyperinsulemia. Type 2 diabetes can progress for months or years without symptoms, an insidious reason for the disorder being so dangerous.
So it's important to be tested by a doctor if you have symptoms or risk factors for Type 2 diabetes. As we saw, prevention of Type 2 diabetes is simple and straightforward, or should be. What looks simple theoretically can turn out to be quite difficult. About 90 percent of people with Type 2 diabetes are obese or overweight: it's the number one risk factor for Type 2 diabetes.
The number two risk factor is having a sedentary lifestyle (exercising fewer than three times a week). Other risk factors are being over the age of 45, belonging to certain races (including African American, Hispanic, American Indian, and Asian American), having a parent or sibling with the disease, and having had gestational diabetes (diabetes developed during pregnancy).
Because diabetes can progress for months or years without symptoms, anyone who is overweight or obese and who has one or more additional risk factors should be tested. Since prevention is obviously the main goal, I won't dwell on the damage caused by diabetes. Most of this damage is through its effects on blood vessels, both large and small.
At high levels, glucose acts as a toxin on the cells that line blood vessels. Cardiovascular disease (disease of the heart and blood vessels) is the main cause of death in people with diabetes. About three-quarters of people with diabetes die of cardiovascular disease. Kidney disease. Because the kidneys are densely packed with millions of tiny filtering capillaries, they are especially likely to be damaged by diabetes. Symptoms may not appear until only 10 percent of the kidney's filtering function remains. Vision damage. The retina, the delicate membrane that lines the back of the eyeball, may be damaged by diabetes.
High glucose levels injure the tiny capillaries in the retina, which start to break and bleed. Diabetes also increases the risk of developing cataracts and glaucoma. Nerve damage, or neuropathy, is also involved. The myelin sheaths that surround nerve cells are very sensitive to changes in glucose concentration. Nerves can also be damaged when damage to the capillaries that feed them cuts off their blood supply. As standard practice, it's considered important for diabetics to monitor their glucose levels.
Keeping track of your blood sugar allows quick responses to levels that are too low (hypoglycemia) or too high (hyperglycemia). It also helps in planning meals, activities, and medication times. The latest glucose monitors require only a tiny drop of blood, and it doesn't necessarily have to come from a finger.
But we also need to consider the stress caused by constantly monitoring any condition, whether it is diabetes or high blood pressure. In the body's feedback loops, all messages are received by the cell membrane, including messages relating to stress, your work environment, relationships, mood and general sense of well-being. You cannot "feel" your blood sugar levels, and once you begin to change your lifestyle, there is every reason to focus on how your life is going in general, with much less focus on chemical monitoring. Blood sugar follows cycles, like everything else in the body.
One day's high reading may be meaningless, but it can lead to panic and worry. Is it worth ruining a whole day in order to fixate on a number? The key to getting past any lifestyle disorder, including Type 2 diabetes, is to move in the direction of balance and moderation. This doesn't mean grim discipline. Am I doing something that makes me happy? Can I give up a little of what isn't good for me?
How do I feel about my progress toward well-being? Can I foresee the weak or tempting moments I need to be most careful about? In the spirit of making your life better, the preventive steps for Type 2 diabetes fall into place more naturally. Anyone with prediabetes or diabetes who is overweight has a number of very good reasons to lose weight.
