Hey there, folks! Today, let’s dive into a topic that’s affecting more and more people worldwide: prediabetes and inflammation.
Did you know that approximately one out of every 7 people living in Malaysia is suffering from diabetes and one out of every 11 people is suffering from prediabetes?
Prediabetes
First things first, let’s talk about prediabetes. This is your body’s way of saying, “Hey, something’s not quite right with your blood sugar levels.” Your glucose readings are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. It’s a warning sign urging you to pay attention to your health habits. Research data shows that people with prediabetes have a 70% of lifetime risk of converting to diabetes. As if that was not bad enough, the number of people with prediabetes and diabetes is expected to increase in the future! This increasing trend is a result of a variety of causes, including population growth, population ageing, urbanisation, and rising rates of obesity and physical inactivity.
Why is prediabetes linked to inflammation?
High blood sugar can cause chronic low grade inflammation and increased oxidative stress which in turn leads to insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion. This condition can appear years before the development of diabetes and is already present in the majority of prediabetic patients. Insulin resistance on its own can cause increased blood pressure and cholesterol level. Damages to the eyes, kidneys, blood vessels, heart, nerve and sexual function, which are traditionally thought to be complications from long standing diabetes, are found to be linked to prediabetes. In short, this means that the high blood sugar levels are causing small problems which can become significant over time.
What to do then?
But fear not, my friends, because there’s good news too. You see, the beauty of knowing about prediabetes and inflammation is that you can do something about it. You have the power to reverse these conditions and put your health back on track. Prediabetes should be treated to prevent the potential effects of prediabetes itself, prevent progression to diabetes, and mitigate some of the potential results of progression to diabetes.
So, what can you do? Well, for starters, paying attention to your diet and lifestyle can make a world of difference. Opt for whole foods like fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean proteins, and try to cut back on the sugary snacks and processed foods. Oh, and don’t forget to move your body regularly! Exercise is like a magic bullet when it comes to keeping inflammation in check and managing blood sugar levels. Losing weight is one of the best way to prevent diabetes!
