Knowing
Diabetes
Diabetes can occur when there’s too much glucose (sugar)
in the blood. There are two main types of Diabetes, both can
be treated and controlled.
Type 1 Diabetes used to be called ‘Insulin Dependent Diabetes’.
Treatment is by insulin injection, healthy eating and physical
activity.
Type 2 Diabetes used to be called ‘Non-Insulin Dependent
Diabetes’ and usually affects overweight older adults.
It’s always treated with healthy eating and exercise, sometimes
with tablets, and occasionally insulin.
Common Diabetes symptoms are: thirst, passing excess urine,
regular thrush infections, tiredness, blurred vision and unexpected
weight loss. If you’re worried about any of these symptoms,
you can talk it over with your doctor, practice nurse or call
NHS Direct: 0845 4647

Reducing
the risk of Diabetes
There
are many risk factors for developing Diabetes, but there are
things you can do to reduce the risks. Many people who develop
Type 2 Diabetes are overweight. You can reduce the risks of
developing diabetes by healthy eating - basing your meals on
low sugar, low salt, low fat,
high fibre foods, fruit and vegetables.
Be more physically active, watch the amount of alcohol you drink
and try to stop smoking. All of these things can make a difference.
Diabetes screening will help with early detection and involves
a simple blood test which can be done by your doctor or practice
nurse. For further information call NHS Direct: 0845 4647

Controlling
Diabetes
Eating
the right kind of food is very important to help you control
your Diabetes. Eat three meals a day that contain starchy food;
such as breakfast cereal, bread, potatoes, rice and pasta. Try
to have at least five servings of fruit and veg a day and cut
down the amount of fat you use in cooking, eat lean meats and
low fat cheeses and spreads.
Regular physical activity can help with weight and control of
Diabetes, but before you begin, check it out with your doctor.
By monitoring your blood glucose levels you’ll be able
to work out what exercise is right for you. It’s important
that you have yearly eye, foot and other regular medical checks
at your doctors or hospital.
If you have any worries or notice a change in your condition,
you can talk it over with your doctor, practice nurse or call
NHS Direct: 0845 4647
