Building muscle what's up with that?

What used to be the famous bodybuilding today is muscle building. Today hardly anyone wants to look any more like Arnold Schwarzenegger once did, but the trend is that good muscle building is available so that a healthy + toned body can be seen.

 Muscle development is no longer exaggerated today as it was 30 years ago. Muscle building today means getting a well-formed + trained body through a special strength training.


If, for example, you consider Arnold Schwarzenegger, Brigitte Nielsen or Ralf Möller and other famous actors brimming with muscle, then you know what you might look like if you turned your attention to building muscle (eg building muscle through colostrum).

 But for most normal + average men, as well as women with normal muscle, these examples - as well as the highly "inflated" bodybuilders at events - are exaggerated.

 They try to look muscular & fit - they are - but still under the guise of "normality". 

Well-trained muscles are great for many well-trained athletes and they do a lot for their 
body's fitness. They go to the fitness center and work out on many different devices.


When talking about building muscle, one not only talks about the biceps of the arms, which should perhaps be steeled & enlarged, but the building of muscle refers to all parts of the body, perhaps due to prolonged lying in bed or with very little movement.


Muscles build up through use. That means, even if you do not do bodybuilding but, as an example, work on the building, it also builds muscle.


The body needs its muscles for everyday, normal processes. So it is very necessary that you turn to the muscle if you want to make his body fit & movable again.

For this muscle building, you can start very small, maybe by raising your arm or leg 10x daily and keeping it in the air for a short time.

Or it is the muscle building by a special gymnastics or muscle building program & finally by a targeted strength training in the gym, where you get through constant repetition of the equipment exercises, etc. at some point the muscles that you always wanted to have or once owned.


Are you interested in building your muscles through targeted muscle building, you should first check which body type you are. If the one who is not and thin and gangly increase can, the one who is perhaps stronger, but view it does not.

 At the sports doctor you can tell yourself what type you are. The three types that are called: somato, electromorphic and mesomorphic or endomorphic. After this assessment, you can get a suitable training program to build muscle.

Every muscle on the body has to be trained differently. For the belly it is the sit-ups, for the legs is the weight on a weight bench, and the arm muscles is built by lifting free weights.

However, you should not exaggerate the strength training in the beginning, which can lead to sore muscles, or cles are very stressed & the metabolism in the body works at full speed.

By sweating during muscle building the body loses a lot of minerals. So the body does not have to be supplied with extra luscious food when building muscle , but with food that feeds it with carbohydrates, protein and the necessary minerals and vitamins.

Especially the protein is very important in building muscle, but the body is not able to produce this protein itself.


So the diet should be when building muscle consist of many protein products.

even a torn muscle.


During muscle-building training, the body must also be supplied with rich liquid. When building muscle, the body loses a lot of fluid through the strenuous workout, which should be replaced by mineral water or energy drinks again.

muscle building

But not only does training mean that you should adapt your diet accordingly to the training to build muscle. Muscle building is achieved by doing a special workout for all the muscles that are on the body. Here, the mus

Tips for buying a strength station

Fitness tips for the purchase of a power station

As fitness becomes more and more important, many sports enthusiasts are looking for a cheap gym from a fitness shop.

 With a good power station, you save yourself the transition to a gym & can train at any time in its own four walls at its own power station. 

Power Stations as "Mini" - Gym:

Good, but also cheap power stations are fitness studios in "mini format". A proper power station includes all training options to get your body in the best shape.

With a good, often cheap, power station, you can train your upper body and your legs optimally. A high-quality weight station often includes a chest press, an abdominal trainer, a rowing machine and a leg press. Average power station should definitely include a cable, butterfly, pull rod & leg curl.

What should I look for when buying a power station:

Firstly, looking for a suitable place or place for his new multi-gym. Often it makes sense to transport the new power station to the cellar. There, however, the new power station quickly falls into oblivion.

You have to think carefully about where you want to set up the power station to get the optimal place for your strength training. Furthermore, you should look at the maximum weight before buying a power station. 

Depending on how much weight is trained, the maximum weight of the new power station is quickly exceeded. It should also be checked if the strength station is stable and you can optimize your strength training.

 The to-be-acquired power station should also have various adjustment options, such as the seat so that even larger athletes can complete their strength training without restrictions. 

Other highlights of a high-quality power station are sheathed steel cables as a cable pull or a power station with ergonomically shaped handles.

Why don’t you lose weight when you do extreme?

What all you have not done to lose weight? You went running for miles, you did crash dieting, in fact, you did not even eat literally for so many days but did it help.

Did you lose weight? The answer is an obvious no. have you ever asked why did this happen? Well, the answer is very simple. You did not lose weight because all that you did was not natural. 

When you crash diet the body feels there is crisis d it would not get any food in near future so it slows down the metabolism further and starts storing all the energy that it can as fat.

Definitely, the body has to make amendments if the starvation-like situation is perceived by the body. So you must not resort to such shortcuts and follow the natural way of losing weight by increasing the metabolic rate of the body.

This can be done easily by having garcinia cambogia for diet.

This fruit is great for all those who want to lose weight desperately as well as those who want to keep fit throughout their life. 

But the question is it available at all places? There is a great possibility that this fruit id not available everywhere but you can definitely get the extract of this fruit available in the market easily.

The garciniacambogiafordiet extract is equally effective as the fruit itself. The extract has the rare acid present in this fruit that is the key factor in making you lose weight effectively known as hydroxy citric acid.

This acid keeps your satiety center flooded with the signals of no appetite and this helps you not eat much.

 Also, it prevents the excess carbohydrates from being converted to fat and thus prevents deposition of the new fat layer under the surface of your skin.

Bezos, Dell invest in Qliance

Under the ‘I didn’t see this one coming’ category, we find that Jeff Bezos, Michael Dell and Drew Carey (from the ‘one of these things is not like the others’ category) announced an investment in the Seattle-based medical home provider Qliance. 

Found the mention of Tech Flash (thanks, Priest).

While the Alliance medical home model is one I have strongly advocated, I have my reservations about the extent to which they can be broadly successful in the areas where we need it the most: caring for patients living with chronic conditions.

 Yes, I’m sure they can provide great services for the large majority of young, healthy people, but their contribution to the overall health care dollar is relatively small (depending on who you ask between 5% and 10%).

But when it comes to advancing chronic care management, you need a medical home that is not silo’d off from the rest of the continuity of care.

Quite the contrary, the medical home needs to be the fulcrum around which all care is managed. Yes, I know some think ‘managed’ an ill-advised word to use – loaded as it is with 1980’s ‘managed care’ baggage.

 However, that’s exactly what’s needed to ensure the appropriate care is provided and care is truly coordinated to reduce errors and duplication of effort.

Don’t quite see how the Qliance model works in the big bad world of chronic care management, but I like the concept.

No Sugar Drumbeat Gets Iouder

 No Sugar’ drumbeat gets louder

Well, if you wanted to call me a Gary Taubes fanboy before, I guess you’ve got one more reason to now as here’s one more post about his writings.

Back in October 2010, I authored a post entitled Sugar – Public Enemy Number One. The main takeaway I intended for the article was to argue that if all the diet books and nutrition gurus in all the world would just agree on this *one* thing: elimination of refined sugars from the diet (including fruit juices, by the way) that would be the single most important contribution they could all make to our public health. 

This would result in vastly healthier people and dramatically lower health care costs.

Back in January when Gary took his show on the road to Seattle, he mentioned he was working on this big article for the New York Times about sugar.

 The summary was he was taking a look into the claims of Dr. Robert Lustig of UCSF who came out and said fructose was a toxin – in the concentrations consumed in the SAD . 

Now that Gary is a left coaster, he’s gotta make nice with the neighbors (he even got his new BFF Michael Pollan to say nice things about his new book – nice going :)

The net of all this is a ‘little’ piece in the New York Times called Is Sugar Toxic?. Of course, Gary doesn’t do ‘little’ so don’t expect a reader’s digest version, but you should expect a thorough and well-reasoned article.

Of course, I want you to read it, but the summary is he thinks there’s something to the idea that sugar should be considered a toxin. One small step for man 

Diet

“Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food.” Hippocrates
Not entirely certain Hippocrates actually penned those words, but they sound like words to live by. 

The knowledge of nutrition and its effect on our health is not only progressing, it seems as though it is accelerating rapidly. Along with that accelerated pace of knowledge comes many diverging points of view – all of which having apparent merits as told by their respective adherents.

The current schism, if you will, among the dietary experts is the between the ‘low-fat’ vs.
‘low-carb’ camps. It is safe to say that the current dietary orthodoxy holds that dietary fat is the primary culprit as to why people get fat.

There is an alternative hypothesis emerging (supported by mounting clinical evidence) that it is not dietary fat that is the primary culprit, but simple carbohydrates.

It’s important to understand that this is not a new idea. In fact, this is a recurring theme in dietary research.

 As discussed in extremely thorough detail in the groundbreaking book by Gary Taubes, Good Calories, Bad Calories, you can go back to the ‘Banting’ craze in the late-19th century to identify an early ‘low-carb’ diet that appears to have worked handsomely for those who adhered to it.

Further, there are any number of popular diets today that share many core characteristics: Zone Diet, Paleo Diet, etc.

Now, after about a half-century of unquestioned support of the the low-fat, calorie restricted diet, there is mounting evidence that, in the main, Atkins was right and that, with a few modifications, a non-calorie restricted diet that significantly limits easily-digestible (‘simple’) carbohydrates is the all-around best choice for better health for the vast majority of us.

The most straightforward and accessible book I have seen on the topic is Dr. Rob Thompson’s Glycemic Load Diet. I heartily recommend you get the book.

 It is a very fast read and Dr. Thompson gets right to the meat of the issue – and gives you recipes to boot. The main message to get from the book, however, is very simple (as is this overall approach to diet). Below I include the core message of the book – summed up in a few sentences (page 44).

Here’s my advice. Forget about the lists. Just don’t eat more than a quarter serving of flour products, potatoes, or rice at a time and abstain from sugar-containing soft drinks and fruit juices.

Dr. Rob Thompson – The Glycemic Load Diet, p. 44

While that is the summary of the reader’s digest version, at its core, its really that simple.

Health Citizen

When I began this blog in January 2009, the focus was exclusively on providing my personal perspective on individual wellness.

After years of following a different path than the mainstream, I found I was spending a fair amount of time sharing my viewpoints with people who were struggling with various health-related issues. I decided I’d begin to put all my thoughts on these matters in one place.

As the white-hot conflagration of issues related to health system reform raged in the US in 2009, I acquired an almost insatiable appetite for learning more about the complex issues facing US health care.

For my regular readers, it may not be a surprise to you that I forged a point of view that might be considered a league apart.

Not that I found no merit in the various points of view being expressed, but that I found each perspective having fairly major flaws that seemed obvious to me.

For example, those who hew to the idea that ‘free market’ mechanisms are the optimal way through which we obtain the best value out of our healthcare system don’t seem to notice that ours is the most profit-oriented system in the entire industrialized world and we spend more per capita (by a long shot) than anyone else.

Wouldn’t those in law enforcement consider this a clue? To dismiss the variance by touting the ‘additional costs’ of world-leading medical breakthroughs in medical devices and pharmaceuticals begs the question ‘To what end?’ – given the well-documented paltry outcomes (overall morbidity, infant mortality, life expectancy, etc.)

Also, while you could make a theoretical argument that pharmaceutical company, medical device, and hospital profits lead to better care (by enabling investment in better approaches to care – I am not convinced), I have yet to see a single remotely defensible argument that links insurance company profits to improved health outcomes.

Still waiting.

Conversely, those who tout ‘single-payer’ as a cure-all do so, it seems to me, as a matter of faith, not reason. Setting aside the political and economic obstacles in the way of instituting a ‘single-payer’ system in the US, I’ve yet to see a cogent explanation as to how single-payer in and of itself transforms healthcare.

Yes, it would certainly increase access to medical care, but it is no solution at all to ensuring that said access is sustainable for the long term. 

My other problem with ‘single-payer’ is more ethereal. I just have an aversion to monoculture. It seems to me that we need an approach that is not just functional for now, but also sustainable and adaptable over the long term.

 A diversity of approaches is needed in order to achieve that end. I’m not convinced a single approach to funding the entire system would give us that adaptability. We will still need to innovate as time moves forward and the best way to enable innovation is to have a diversity of ideas that would not be fostered by a single-payer approach.

So, over the course of many months, I mulled whether I would begin to use these pages as a vehicle to express my thoughts on broader health policy issues in addition to the health/wellness topics I started off with.

 Finally, in January 2010, I made some initial, tepid steps. But it still lacked coherence. Am I touting myself as a health policy wonk type? (a mini-Uwe) Am I advocating on behalf of a specific, well-established point of view? (well, I guess not, if I’m saying that all of the major entrenched positions have significant flaws).

 It finally occurred to me the role I was taking on was that of a ‘health citizen.’ Citizen in the most active and broadest sense of the word which encompasses being an informed and active participant in the political, economic and social life of your society not as a self-appointed ‘expert,’ but as a private citizen very focused on pushing us to deliver value out of every element of the system.

So, what does it mean to me to be a ‘health citizen?’

• While this is readily obvious, it seems to continually get lost in the debate: health care and medical care are not interchangeable. In fact, if we were to assign a percentage impact of medical care on the overall health of society, it would constitute no more than 15% of the total.

• What is more important are the social determiners of health: clean water, sanitation, protection from toxins, good education, nurturing human interactions. The extent to which we lay the burden of health care on those who deliver medical care we feed into the monster that has become the medical-industrial complex. A health citizen understands this distinction and acts accordingly.

• Each of us needs to take personal responsibility to use medical care resources thoughtfully and judiciously. We must begin to think of our medical care resources in a similar way to our natural resources. These services have now become part of the ‘commons’ we all share.

•  Consuming an inordinate amount of these resources out of fear or simple entitlement furthers the ‘tragedy of the commons’ to which citizens will not contribute. It has also been well demonstrated that more medical care is not necessarily better medical care. A health citizen uses only what he or she needs even to the point of questioning the need for things that their care provider recommends.

• In a direct tie-in to the wellness thrust of this blog, to the extent we can improve our own health, the easier it becomes to be an asset to the health of our society as opposed to a liability. It seems very odd to have to point this out given that one would think the primary incentive for making healthy choices is to, well, be healthy. It is apparent, however, that many millions of us continue to make choices we all know to be detrimental to our health. 
• 
  
• This is exacerbated by the bankruptcy of the conventional dietary (low-fat/high-carb) and exercise (chronic cardio) wisdom that is detrimental to many millions more who are acting on this disastrous advice and believe they are doing the right thing for their health. A health citizen takes part in bringing forth the new conventional wisdom.

• Engaging with others is obviously a central part of being human. A health citizen participates actively in a community that supports each other in pursuing better personal wellness in addition to pursuing better health for the broader society.

Exercise

If you’ve had a chance to read a few posts or pages, you’ll know I’m out of the mainstream on just about everything. Why should the topic of exercise be any different? The conventional wisdom goes a little like this: •

You must conduct 4-5 sessions per week of ‘cardio’ exercise in your ‘fat burning’ zone for at least 30 minutes each • While it’s not a bad idea to lift heavy things, don’t make that the cornerstone of your exercise regimen • Get your ‘exercise’ as a part of sports activity (golf, tennis, etc.) •

 Rest is for wimps – and fat people. Don’t let any more than a couple days go by without hitting the gym. OK, some of that was a little squishy, but I think you recognize the general outlines of the conventional wisdom on exercise. Now for my take: •

 The key to effective exercise is to conduct it for the express purpose of inducing a ‘dose-response’ effect. What this means in practice is it is most effective to engage in relatively short duration, but maximally intense activities that send the signal to your organism that it had better cowboy up because a lot is going to be asked of it. •

After said short-duration intense activity, it is essential to give your body time to recover from the intensity to build new muscle, make way for increased cardiovascular activity and give your nervous system time for repair.

While I have not settled on a single program, my current focus is on the Body by Science approach to strength training and the P.A.C.E. Program approach to increasing pulmonary capacity.

What these two programs have in common is they emphasize the need to challenge your body with high-intensity activity followed by an appropriate period of time for rest and recovery. In the case of BBS, the recommended rest time is between 5 and 7 days – and it is working very well for me, I might add.

 One issue that bears clarification is that the definition of ‘intensity’ is dictated by each individual’s current state of fitness. You start wherever you are and build from there. No ‘cookie-cutter’ solutions for exercise. So, that’s it in a brief nutshell.

Will endeavor to post more regularly on my personal exercise activities and provide background on interesting approaches as I come across them.

The beautiful & powerful Diabetics just like the rest of us

It’s a little like, no it’s actually a lot like a cross between Fantasyland and Sex And The City. So who hasn’t engaged in this seemingly harmless game of mental fantasy and arousal with their husband, wife, boyfriend or girlfriend at one time or another?

 It goes like this: Your significant other asks you what famous person you would most like to hook up with for a one-time, guilt-free, consequence-free sexcapade.

Oh yeah, and the hook-up comes with an iron-clad guarantee that no one would ever find out or get hurt. I don’t know about you, but I refuse to fall into this relationship trap. My answer is always the same: I love you, honey. 

You satisfy all of my needs, I don’t engage in sexual fantasies that involve other people and I would never do anything to disrespect you or jeopardize our marriage……Having said that, if I were still single, it would be an entirely different matter. 

If my circumstances were different and I didn’t have this amazingly wonderful wife to keep me happy, it’s no secret that Halle Berry and Salma Hayek would be at the top of my fantasy list. (Naturally, it’s a given that my wife would be running into the welcoming arms of either John Travolta or Richard Gere.)

So when I recently discovered that both Halle Berry and Salma Hayek are Diabetics like me, it gave me a weird sense of connection. Like the three of us now shared this awful, yet mutual bond. Then again, I guess it’s not so weird.

 After all, as one of the fastest growing chronic diseases in the history of mankind, the list of those afflicted with Diabetes is long and distinguished. When it comes to Diabetes, it simply knows no bounds. Oh sure, obesity is one of the most common triggers.

But chalking up the disease to nothing more than weight control is to miss the bigger picture. Diabetes strikes all kinds, young and old, fat and thin and everything in between. From actors and athletes to world leaders, comedians and musicians, Diabetes doesn’t spare the rich, powerful, well-connected or the beautiful. 

The list of famous people with Diabetes runs the gamut, from an Academy award-winning novelist (Mario Puzzo of the Godfather fame), one of the most talented.

yet villainous figures in professional baseball history (Ty Cobb) and a Supreme Court Justice (Sonia Sotomayor) to a grammy-award winning musician (B.B. King), one of the greatest actors of this generation (Tom Hanks), several former Soviet leaders and half of the singer-songwriter foursome, CSN&Y (David Crosby and Neil Young). 

So when it comes to Diabetes, us commoners have a lot of famous company. That’s the bad news. The good news is that everyone on this list found a way to manage the disease and make great contributions to society, athletics and the arts.

 With proper management, Diabetes doesn’t have to stop you from pursuing your dreams. It doesn’t have to get in the way of your success. They did it, and so can you! Here, then, is my list of famous Diabetics:

(In case my wife happens to be reading this, I love you, honey. You satisfy all of my needs, I don’t engage in sexual fantasies that involve other people, and that includes Halle Berry and Salma Hayek, singularly or together, and I would never do anything to disrespect you or jeopardize our marriage!)

Diabetes Mellitus Typ 2 Symptome

Zeichen und Symptome von Typ-2-Diabetes entwickeln sich oft langsam. In der Tat können Sie Typ-2-Diabetes für Jahre und nicht wissen. Suche:

Erhöhter Durst und häufiges Wasserlassen.

Überschüssiger Zucker Aufbau in Ihrem Blutkreislauf verursacht Flüssigkeit aus dem Gewebe gezogen werden. Dies kann Sie durstig verlassen. Als Ergebnis können Sie trinken – und urinieren – mehr als üblich.

Erhöhter Hunger. Ohne genug Insulin, um Zucker in Ihre Zellen zu bewegen, werden Ihre Muskeln und Organe an Energie erschöpft. Dies löst intensiven Hunger.

Gewichtsverlust.

Trotz Essen mehr als üblich, um Hunger zu lindern, können Sie Gewicht verlieren. Ohne die Fähigkeit, Glukose zu metabolisieren, verwendet der Körper alternative Kraftstoffe in Muskel und Fett gespeichert. Kalorien gehen verloren, wenn überschüssige Glukose im Urin freigesetzt wird.

Ermüden. Wenn Ihre Zellen von Zucker entzogen werden, können Sie müde und gereizt werden.

Verschwommene Sicht. Wenn Ihr Blutzucker zu hoch ist, kann Flüssigkeit aus den Linsen der Augen gezogen werden. Dies kann Ihre Fähigkeit, sich zu konzentrieren.

Langsam heilende Wunden oder häufige Infektionen. Typ 2 Diabetes beeinflusst Ihre Fähigkeit, Infektionen zu heilen und zu widerstehen.

Bereiche der verdunkelten Haut. Einige Menschen mit Typ-2-Diabetes haben Flecken von dunklen, samtigen Haut in den Falten und Falten ihres Körpers – in der Regel in den Achselhöhlen und Hals. Diese Bedingung, Acanthosis nigricans genannt, kann ein Zeichen der Insulinresistenz sein.

Wenn ein Arzt zu sehen

Fragen Sie Ihren Arzt, wenn Sie irgendwelche Typ 2 Diabetes-Symptome feststellen.

Diabetes Mellitus Typ 2 Ursachen

Typ 2 Diabetes entwickelt sich, wenn der Körper resistent gegen Insulin oder wenn die Bauchspeicheldrüse stoppt produzieren genügend Insulin. Genau, warum dies geschieht, ist unbekannt, obwohl Genetik und Umweltfaktoren, wie Übergewicht und Inaktivität, scheinen dazu beitragen, Faktoren.

Diabetes Mellitus Typ 2 Wie Insulin wirkt

Insulin ist ein Hormon, das aus der Drüse hinter und unter dem Magen (Bauchspeicheldrüse) kommt.

Die Bauchspeicheldrüse sezerniert Insulin in den Blutkreislauf.

Das Insulin zirkuliert, so dass Zucker in Ihre Zellen gelangen kann.
Insulin senkt die Menge an Zucker in Ihrem Blutkreislauf.

Wie Ihr Blutzuckerspiegel sinkt, so ist die Sekretion von Insulin aus Ihrer Bauchspeicheldrüse.

Diabetes Mellitus Typ 2 Die Rolle der Glukose

Glukose – ein Zucker – ist eine Hauptenergiequelle für die Zellen, aus denen sich Muskeln und andere Gewebe zusammensetzen.

Glukose kommt von zwei Hauptquellen: Nahrung und Ihre Leber.
Zucker wird in den Blutkreislauf aufgenommen, wo er mit Hilfe von Insulin in die Zellen gelangt.

Diabetes Mellitus Typ 2 – Ihre Leber speichert und macht Glukose.

Wenn Ihr Blutzuckerspiegel niedrig ist, wie wenn Sie nicht in einer Weile gegessen haben, zerbricht die Leber gespeicherte Glykogen in Glukose, um Ihren Glukosespiegel innerhalb eines normalen Bereichs zu halten.

Bei Diabetes Typ 2 funktioniert dieser Prozess nicht gut. Anstatt sich in Ihre Zellen, Zucker baut sich in Ihrem Blutkreislauf. Wenn die Blutzuckerspiegel ansteigen, lassen die Insulin-produzierenden Beta-Zellen in der Bauchspeicheldrüse mehr Insulin freisetzen, aber schließlich werden diese Zellen beeinträchtigt und können nicht genug Insulin produzieren, um die Anforderungen des Körpers zu erfüllen.

In der viel weniger häufigen Typ-1-Diabetes, zerstört das Immunsystem die Beta-Zellen, so dass der Körper mit wenig bis kein Insulin.

Diabetes Mellitus Typ 2 – Risikofaktoren

Forscher verstehen nicht vollständig, warum einige Leute Art 2 Diabetes entwickeln und andere nicht. Es ist jedoch klar, dass bestimmte Faktoren das Risiko erhöhen, einschließlich:

Gewicht. Übergewicht ist ein primärer Risikofaktor für Typ-2-Diabetes. Je mehr Fettgewebe Sie haben, desto resistenter werden Ihre Zellen ins Insulin. Allerdings müssen Sie nicht übergewichtig sein, um Typ-2-Diabetes zu entwickeln.

Fettverteilung. Wenn Ihr Körper speichert Fett in erster Linie in Ihrem Bauch, ist Ihr Risiko von Typ 2 Diabetes größer als wenn Ihr Körper speichert Fett anderswo, wie Ihre Hüften und Oberschenkel.

Inaktivität. Je weniger Sie aktiv sind, desto größer ist das Risiko für Diabetes Typ 2. Körperliche Aktivität hilft Ihnen, Ihr Gewicht zu kontrollieren, verbraucht Glukose als Energie und macht Ihre Zellen empfindlicher auf Insulin.

Familiengeschichte. Das Risiko von Diabetes Typ 2 erhöht sich, wenn Ihr Elternteil oder Geschwister Typ 2 Diabetes hat.

Rennen. Obgleich es unklar ist, warum Leute bestimmter Rennen – einschließlich Schwarze, Hispanics, amerikanische Inder und asiatisch-Amerikaner – wahrscheinlicher sind, Typ 2 Diabetes zu entwickeln, als Weiß sind.

Alter. Das Risiko von Diabetes Typ 2 steigt, wie Sie älter werden, vor allem nach Alter 45. Das ist wahrscheinlich, weil die Menschen neigen dazu, weniger ausüben, verlieren Muskelmasse und Gewichtszunahme, wie sie altern. Aber Typ-2-Diabetes ist auch bei Kindern, Jugendlichen und jüngeren Erwachsenen dramatisch.

Prediabetes. Prediabetes ist ein Zustand, in dem Ihr Blutzuckerspiegel höher als normal ist, aber nicht hoch genug, um als Diabetes eingestuft werden. Links unbehandelt, prediabetes oft Fortschritte auf Typ-2-Diabetes.

Schwangerschaftsdiabetes. Wenn Sie Schwangerschaftsdiabetes entwickelt haben, als Sie schwanger waren, erhöht sich Ihr Risiko, Typ-2-Diabetes zu entwickeln. Wenn Sie ein Baby mit einem Gewicht von mehr als 9 Pfund (4 Kilogramm) gebar, sind Sie auch an Risiko von Typ-2-Diabetes.

Polyzystisches Ovar-Syndrom. Für Frauen, mit polyzystischen Ovarien-Syndrom – eine gemeinsame Bedingung durch unregelmäßige Menstruation, überschüssiges Haarwachstum und Fettleibigkeit gekennzeichnet – erhöht das Risiko von Diabetes.

Diabetes Mellitus Typ 2 – Komplikationen

Typ 2 Diabetes kann leicht zu ignorieren, vor allem in den frühen Phasen, wenn Sie sich gut fühlen. Aber Diabetes betrifft viele wichtige Organe, einschließlich dein Herz, Blutgefäße, Nerven, Augen und Nieren. Kontrolle Ihres Blutzuckerspiegels kann helfen, diese Komplikationen zu verhindern.

Obwohl langfristige Komplikationen von Diabetes allmählich entwickeln, können sie schließlich zu deaktivieren oder sogar lebensbedrohlich. Einige der möglichen Komplikationen von Diabetes sind:

Herz- und Blutgefäßkrankheit. 

Diabetes erhöht das Risiko von verschiedenen Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen, einschließlich koronarer Herzkrankheit mit Brustschmerzen (Angina pectoris), Herzinfarkt, Schlaganfall, Verengung von Arterien (Atherosklerose) und hohem Blutdruck dramatisch.

Nervenschäden (Neuropathie). Überschüssiger Zucker kann die Wände der kleinen Blutgefäße (Kapillaren), die Ihre Nerven nähren, vor allem in den Beinen zu verletzen. 

Dies kann dazu führen, Kribbeln, Taubheitsgefühl, Brennen oder Schmerzen, die in der Regel beginnt an den Spitzen der Zehen oder Finger und allmählich breitet sich nach oben. Schlecht kontrollierte Blutzucker kann schließlich dazu führen, dass Sie verlieren alle Sinne des Gefühls in den betroffenen Gliedmaßen.

 Schäden an den Nerven, die die Verdauung kontrollieren können Probleme mit Übelkeit, Erbrechen, Durchfall oder Verstopfung verursachen. Für Männer, kann erektile Dysfunktion ein Problem sein.

Nierenschäden (Nephropathie). Die Nieren enthalten Millionen von kleinen Blutgefäß-Clustern, die Abfälle aus Ihrem Blut filtern. Diabetes kann dieses empfindliche Filtersystem beschädigen. Schwere Schäden können zu Nierenversagen oder irreversibler Endstadium-Nierenerkrankung führen, was oftmals eine Dialyse oder eine Nierentransplantation erfordert.

Augenschäden. Diabetes kann die Blutgefäße der Netzhaut (diabetische Retinopathie) schädigen, was möglicherweise zur Blindheit führt. Diabetes erhöht auch das Risiko von anderen schweren Sehbedingungen wie Katarakt und Glaukom.

Fußschaden. Nervenschaden in den Füßen oder schlechte Durchblutung zu den Füßen erhöht das Risiko von verschiedenen Fußkomplikationen. Links unbehandelt, Schnitte und Blasen können zu ernsthaften Infektionen, die schlecht heilen kann. Schwere Schäden können Zehen-, Fuß- oder Beinamputation erfordern.

Schwerhörig. Hörprobleme sind häufiger bei Menschen mit Diabetes.
Hautverhältnisse. Diabetes kann Sie anfälliger für Hautprobleme, einschließlich bakterielle und Pilzinfektionen.

Alzheimer-Erkrankung. Typ-2-Diabetes kann das Risiko der Alzheimer-Krankheit erhöhen. Je schlechter Ihre Blutzucker-Kontrolle, desto größer ist das Risiko zu sein. Die genaue Verbindung zwischen diesen beiden Bedingungen ist noch unklar.
