We Eat a Lot of Sugar

• Unbelievable as it seems, according to the USDA,
  the average American consumes the following each
  year
• 134 pounds of refined sugar excluding honey
• 365 servings of soda pop (638 cans per year for
  people aged 12-29)
• 200 sticks of gum
• 22 pounds of candy
• 63 dozen doughnuts
• 60 pounds of cakes and cookies
• 23 gallons of ice cream

6
Blood Pressure

• Blood pressure is divided into systolic and
  diastolic
• 120/70 mmhg
• Systolic should be under 120 mmhg
• Diastolic blood pressure should be 80 mmhg or less

Too Much Sugar

• Sugar is the problem
• People eat too many calories each day
• Watch the glycemic index
• Concentrate on foods with a GI of less than 50
• Watch you caloric intake
• Limit calories to your active metabolic rate
  2200 kcals/day
• Any weight loss is good a few pounds is great
• Many people are discouraged by wanting to lose
  too much
• Ideal weight for a 6 foot man is 175 pounds
• Ideal weight for a 56 woman is 130 pounds

Diabetes

• All cells in the body need a continuous supply of
  energy to carry out normal body functions.
• Glucose, a simple sugar derived from the foods
  we eat, is the primary source of cellular energy.
  
• Glucose is transported throughout the body by the
  bloodstream.

Diabetes

• Diabetes is a serious medical condition
  characterized by high levels of glucose in the
  blood.
• Glucose is a simple sugar that comes from the
  food you eat.
• When your stomach digests food, glucose is
  absorbed into the bloodstream.
• The glucose circulates in your blood and serves
  as the main source of fuel for all the cells in
  your body.

17

• However, glucose cannot get inside cells by
  itself.
• Glucose needs insulin, a hormone produced by the
  pancreas, to transport it from blood into cells.

• Diabetes occurs when the pancreas either can't
  produce any insulin at all, can't produce enough
  insulin, or the body can't use the insulin it
  makes.
• When any of these happens, glucose builds up in
  the blood.
• This is a condition known as hyperglycemia. The
  result is that the body lacks the fuel it needs.

3 Kinds of Diabetes

• Type 1 diabetes -- Usually starts in childhood
  and accounts for 5 to 10 of all diagnosed cases
  of diabetes.
• Diabetics produce little or no insulin and
  therefore must use insulin daily to control their
  condition.
• Also they can develop an acid condition called
  diabetic ketoacidosis of DKA which can be life
  threatening

20
Type I Diabetes

• Type 1 diabetes most often starts in childhood,
  before the age of 20. People with Type 1 diabetes
  usually have a number of the following symptoms
• Frequent urination
• Excessive thirst
• Unexplained weight loss
• Extreme hunger
• Sudden vision changes
• Tingling or numbness in hands or feet
• Feeling very tired much of the time
• Very dry skin
• Sores that are slow to heal
• More infections than usual
• Nausea, vomiting, and stomach pains

21
Type I Diabetes

• Therefore, people with Type 1 diabetes must use
  insulin daily.
• If they miss their injections or take too much,
  the levels of glucose in the blood can fluctuate
  out of control, getting very high or very low. .
  . and leading to emergency medical situations.

3 Kinds of Diabetes

• Type 2 diabetes -- Usually starts in adulthood,
  and many of these people don't even know they
  have diabetes. It is much more common than Type
  1, accounting for 90 to 95 of cases.
• Often controlled with diet and exercise, and
  sometimes oral drugs or insulin.
• These people are often very obese.
• They tend not to have the acid condition called
  DKA

24
3 Kinds of Diabetes

• Gestational diabetes -- Some women develop this
  form of diabetes when they are pregnant.
• Gestational diabetes usually goes away after the
  baby is born, but the woman is then at higher
  risk for developing Type 2 diabetes later in her
  life.

25
Long Term Complications

• Serious health conditions, including heart
  disease, stroke, blindness, amputations, kidney
  disease, and nerve damage.

26
Heart Disease and Stroke

• Over a period of years, diabetes can have a big
  impact on the heart and blood vessels.
• The problem needs to be taken seriously -- people
  with diabetes are at high risk of having a heart
  attack, stroke, or heart failure
• Heart disease and related complications are the
  leading cause of death in people with diabetes.

Kidney Disease

• The kidneys filter and clean blood.
• Not surprisingly, having too much glucose in the
  blood puts a strain on them.
• Over time, this can actually lead to kidney
  failure.
• When this happens, dialysis or a kidney
  transplant may be needed.

29
Blindness

• Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in
  adults.
• The most common eye disorder in diabetes is
  retinopathy
• A weakened blood vessel may bulge out.
• The blood vessel may rupture
• Either of these can cause vision problems.

30
Nerve Damage - Neuropathy

• Diabetes can damage the nerves and cause a
  complication called neuropathy.
• Tingling and a burning sensations
• Loss of sensitivity to warmth or cold
• Numbness -- if the nerves are damaged enough, you
  may be unaware that a blister or minor wound has
  become infected.
• Problems with bowel and bladder control
• Impotence in men
• Diabetics may even have a heart attack and not be
  able to feel any chest pain.

31
Poor Circulation

• People with diabetes are at risk for blood vessel
  injury, which may be severe enough to cause
  tissue damage in the legs and feet.
• At that point, minor infections sometimes develop
  into deep tissue injuries that may even require
  surgery.
• In extreme cases, amputation of the foot or limb
  may be necessary.

32
Metabolic Syndrome

• The metabolic syndrome is characterized by a
  group of metabolic risk factors in one person. 
  They include
• Central obesity (excessive fat tissue in and
  around the abdomen)
• Dyslipidemia - high triglycerides and low HDL
  cholesterol that foster plaque buildups in
  artery walls
• Insulin resistance or glucose intolerance high
  blood sugar
• Raised blood pressure (130/80 mmHg or higher)
• Inflammatory state - elevated high-sensitivity
  C-reactive protein in the blood

Metabolic Syndrome

• People with the metabolic syndrome die early
  deaths
• Keep your weight normal
• Exercise this is the most important thing a
  human being can do for good health
• Watch your sugar intake eat nutritiously
• Waist size should be 40 inches or less
• Watch blood pressure take medicine if needed
• Cholesterol should be 180 or less
• HDL Cholesterol should be 40 or higher
• LDS Cholesterol should be 100 or less
