How can I control type 2 diabetes? Diabetes is caused by a problem in the way
your body makes or uses insulin. Insulin is needed to move blood sugar (glucose)
into cells, where it is stored and later used for energy. When people have type
2 diabetes, fat, liver, and muscle cells do not respond correctly to insulin.
This is called insulin resistance. As a result, blood sugar does not get into
these cells to be stored for energy. When sugar cannot enter cells, high levels
of sugar build up in the blood. This is called hyperglycemia.
From the above, we can get some principles for the control of type 2
diabetes.
1. We can take in some oral medicine which can stimulate the secretion of
insulin, but in the late stage, patients still need to take insulin treatment as
type 1 diabetes.
2. Patients should take in medicine which can lower blood sugar for the time
being.
3. Repairing the damaged intrinsic beta cells is the fundamental aim of the
treatment. Stem cell is considered to be the best therapy in the world till now.
The mechanism goes as follows: pancreas islet β cells are damaged, which leads
to insufficient secretion of insulin. In this case, the blood sugar will
increase. If this can not be treated or controlled well, it will lead to
systematic disorder and a series of complications will occur as well. Stem cells
can repair the damaged pancreas islet β cells, thus recovering the function of
insulin. In this case, the secretion of insulin can turn normal and diabetes can
recover consequently.
4. Exercise is also quite important. Excess body weight around the waist
increase your risk, which can make beta cells more tired and worsen type 2
diabetes. Exercise in which your heart beats faster and you breathe faster helps
lower your blood sugar level without medication. It also burns extra calories
and fat so you can manage your weight.
Exercise can help your health by improving blood flow and blood pressure.
Exercise also increases the body's energy level, lowers tension, and improves
your ability to handle stress.
