Over a period of time the pancreas can also slow down insulin production further<br />

aggravating the problem.<br />

Type 2 diabetes sneaks up on you. You do not suddenly lose weight or become<br />

extremely thirsty and/or hungry. It is usually discovered after a routine blood test,<br />

however, there are a few common characteristics of Type 2 diabetes.<br />

The majority are overweight, with most of the weight in the abdominal area.<br />

Excess Weight is normally associated with insulin resistance.<br />

Most people are inactive. Exercise enhances insulin sensitivity and reduces the risk<br />

of developing diabetes and keeps you fit at the right weight. Years of an unhealthy<br />

diet, extra pounds and lack of exercise begin to take their toll and we develop<br />

insensitivity.<br />

In addition to being the main culprit behind Type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance is<br />

also part of a condition known as Syndrome X.<br />

Syndrome X is a basically hyper-insulination that causes a bunch of disorders that<br />

includes an increased risk of heart disease, strokes, heart attacks, Type 2 diabetes,<br />

high blood pressure, high cholesterol and triglyceride levels, hypertension,<br />

arteriosclerosis, low HDL cholesterol (often referred to as good cholesterol since it<br />

ushers excess cholesterol out of the body) and obesity. In all individuals who had<br />

some form of these diseases, it was determined that insulin resistance was a<br />

constant underlying condition. So therefore, by reducing your risk of diabetes, you<br />

will be pleased to know that you are actually preventing a host of other<br />

degenerative diseases.
