Inability to properly control blood sugar is the root cause of diabetes. This is a chronic illness which comes in many forms and types. It may arise as a result of insufficient insulin hormone production or due to resistance against produced hormone. In this case, the discussion focuses on management of resistance. This is observed in type two kind of diabetes. Scholars have now verified that there are simple and efficient strategies to reverse insulin resistance.

The first strategy involves eating habit. When sugar rich diet is consumed, there is usually a sudden rise in blood sugar promoting release of insulin to control it. When this fails as in cases of resistance, sugar in blood becomes chronically high. To avoid this, one therefore needs to consume much of protein and fatty food and stay away from carbohydrates. This effectively assists in manning blood sugars.

A second lifestyle practice for persons with this problem is engaging self in exercise. A rigorous exercise is equally a remedy for high blood sugars. This is because physical activity promotes or rather enhances respiration and consequently consumption of excess vascular carbohydrates. On a similar note, there is reduced production of insulin as result of reduced blood sugars. Reduction in levels of this sugar regulating hormone therefore makes the body more sensitive to remaining little amount of insulin. With time, a balance is reached and sugar level is controlled.

It is worthy to note that the above two components are synergistic. Withdrawing sugar rich food from diet and regular exercise concurrently is very efficient in managing this condition. In addition, exercise serves to control autonomic nervous system hence stopping adrenal glands from releasing adrenalin. This hormone adrenalin is responsible for release of triglycerides into the blood stream, an activity which leads to rise of blood sugar.

Rest is a way of relieving stress and promoting comfort. A stress free body is relaxed and therefore does not produce stress related autonomic system response which would otherwise lead to release of more sugar into circulation. Such rest may be achieved by having a good sleep of not less than eight hours a day. Similarly, one may take a nap in the day and manage stressing factors appropriately.

Better still, it has been proven that nutritional deficiency contributes to this resistance. Most important among the involved food components are vitamin B6, glut-amine and chromium. If need be, these components should be supplemented to reduces occurrence of resistance in the population. Other food components and or nutrients include manganese, magnesium and vitamin B group among many more.

In line with the above mentioned practices, individuals should also make it their responsibility to avoid intake of substances which trigger release of triglycerides. These substances might originate from drugs of abuse or food substances. They include: smoking, drinking alcohol and also consumption of caffeine.

In summary therefore, all persons should make it their responsibility to remain healthy. This should be the case whether one has been diagnosed with such resistance or not. Even with the disease, one possibly leads a comfortable life and even restores self to a previous healthy state by following simple lifestyle guides. Quality life is an asset that all people should access in whichever way possible and not even diabetes should take it away.
