Much is said about health problems in people with obesity. Currently both minors and adults suffer from it and it seems to have no visible regression. But in the set of ills that weight gain entails is the much feared, by many, diabetes. How to prevent and/or control it? Here the most important factors are the type of diet and, above all, exercise.
The diabetes is a chronic disease which is characterized by high blood sugar levels (glycemia). However, With proper follow-up and treatment, complications can be prevented and a normal life can be led. It is estimated that 1 in 10 Argentines aged 18 or over suffer from it. This is one of those so-called “silent” diseases, because it can remain for years without symptoms.
“The main issue is diet. Today they are much more accessible. Before the diabetic was forbidden everything. Currently he can eat whatever he wants, the issue is the quantities. It is advisable to have the help of a nutritionist»remarked the diabetes specialist Daniel Pisón (License 2588), who is also an active member of the Argentine Diabetes Society.
A diabetic would have to have a balanced diet: 1 medium plate with half vegetables, up to 1 egg or avocado can include, 1/4 protein (chicken, meat, fish) and the other 1/4 legumes. Pasta must be whole grain and can be eaten up to twice a week, but always accompanied with vegetables.”

«Another important thing and that many do not comply with is that you have to do physical activity. The most advisable are the walks and for them to be useful they have to be every day or every other day (150 minutes per week). It does not work if you do it, for example, on a Monday and then on a Thursday, “said the professional.
There are treatments for different types of diabetes. There are the T1 (autoimmune) that are those in which they are detected between 10 and 15 years of age. The so-called LADA, an almost surprising condition that occurs after 35/40 years. T2s are overweight people. «Sometimes, losing 10% of the weight, patients who apply insulin have returned to the pill. It is real that the disease improves with medical treatment»Piso added.
“Those with T3 diabetes are those who have suffered from pancreatic diseases. There is also gestational diabetes that goes away after delivery, but it must be controlled because after 10 or 12 years it can become T2 diabetes. More or less 12% of the population is diabetic. T2 used to occur at age 30, now we see cases in 10-year-old boys. There is no doubt that there is a pandemic that is on the rise. By the year 2030, almost 500 million diabetics are expected in the world and there will be no health costs that can support that,” the specialist concluded.
