Did you know you can stop diabetes before it starts? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Diabetes is on the rise with younger and younger cases of type two diabetes each year. This is such a debilitating disease, yet it’s so preventable. The first step is to know your numbers. Not just your fasting glucose, which gives and immediate reading of your current blood sugar, but you should have a yearly A1C, a test that gives an average blood sugar over the course of the last three months. If your A1C is in the pre-diabetic state, there is so much you can do to prevent your body from ever developing diabetes. First, increase your exercise to 3 to 4 times a week and include cardio. Next, avoid all processed and packaged foods as well as fried foods. You also need to increase your number of vegetables, eating many of them raw. Changes now will save you years of heartache down the road. This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive health.
