Prediabetes - Dr. Beverly Yates & Ashley James - #112

Today's episode tackles about prediabetes and how to prevent it from progressing. http://learntruehealth.com/prediabetes/

Our expert guest for today is Doctor Beverly Yates. Dr. Yates is a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine (licensed ND) from the University of Natural Medicine. Before shifting to Natural Medicine, she was a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. Our topic is quite personal for Dr. Beverly Yates because prediabetes and diabetes affect several of her family members.

So what is prediabetes and its symptoms?

Prediabetes means that one's blood sugar level is beyond the normal level, but isn't high enough to be classified as type 2 diabetes. Prediabetes may affect children as well as adults. But the lifestyle of an individual plays a key role in acquiring and/or progressing of diabetes.

Causes of diabetes are still a mystery even up to now, but it's believed that genetics appears to be one of the contributing factors. Sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy eating may also put one's health at risk from acquiring prediabetes.

On the onset of prediabetes, the following manifestations can be observed: (1) fatigue (2) blurred vision (3) frequent urination and (4) increased thirst.

If a person has prediabetes but keeps a blind eye of his condition and still practices an unhealthy lifestyle, he is very likely to progress to type 2 diabetes. And when worse comes to worst, his body organs such as the heart, kidneys, and blood vessels, may eventually suffer from long-term damage.

However, we can prevent prediabetes from developing into type 2 if we implement the healthy blood sugar balancing habits that Dr. Beverly teaches in our interview. We can also avoid the potentially dangerous consequences that come with out-of-control blood sugar by eating healthy foods and incorporating physical activity into our daily routine and maintaining a healthy weight can help prevent prediabetes from progressing.
