The typical American diet puts anyone eating it at high risk of Type II Diabetes. It’s important to know the risk factors and the possible symptoms, though you should also know that symptoms may develop slowly and therefore not raise a real warning flag to you. Additionally, pre-diabetes may have no symptoms whatsoever. Answer these questions:
Are you over 45 and overweight?
Is your blood pressure high?
Do you have low HDL cholesterol and high triglycerides?
Is there a family history of diabetes?
Do you belong to an ethnic group or minority group at high risk for diabetes?
Are you under 45 and overweight and have any of the above symptoms?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, please have your blood sugar levels checked. It is not too late to halt Type II Diabetes in its tracks and reverse the effects of this damaging disease.
Research shows just losing 7% of your body weight and engaging in exercise for 150 mins each week can make a huge difference in your risk of developing full blown Type II Diabetes.
Symptoms of Type II Diabetes may include the following:
- unusual thirst
- frequent urination
- blurred vision
- extreme fatigue
- frequent infections
- cuts/bruises that are slow to heal
- tingling/numbness in the hands/feet
- recurring skin, gum or bladder infections
If you have any of the above symptoms, see your doctor right away.
Talk to me about your risk factor and let’s design a program for you to lose weight and feel great! If you already have Type II Diabetes, there are ways to reverse this disease.
My new program, The 7% Challenge, will be launching in June, however, I am running a test cycle beginning May 1. If you are interested in participating, let me know.
