You could go on like this for years, even decades never feeling properly well but not feeling ill either. At Altai Balance some point the damage being done silently inside the body accumulates to the point that the body can no longer manage it and health collapses. Diabetes ultimately results from your body's inability to control blood sugar levels. The hormone insulin that is secreted from your pancreas normally controls blood sugar levels in strong healthy adults.
Muscle tissue is what clears sugar from the blood but as people get older and become more inactive they lose up to one pound of muscle tissue every year and the little they have left doesn't obey insulin command orders. The solution is very simple, eat better and get stuck in to some proper exercise. These two things should be at the top of the list as diabetes is 80% preventable and it is up to you to prevent it.
Your exercise program is very important and must be mainly made up of strength training exercise. This has multiple benefits in reducing a pre-diabetic condition as muscle cells are highly active and clear up to 90% of sugar from the blood for energy during exercise. Strength training can control blood-sugar levels in people with diabetes as effectively as drugs and controlling blood sugar is the key to managing this debilitating and often life-threatening disease.
