Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Understanding the basics of diabetes, its types, causes, symptoms, and management is crucial for anyone looking to lead a healthy lifestyle.
There are two main types of diabetes: Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system attacks and destroys insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. On the other hand, Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body either doesn't produce enough insulin or becomes resistant to insulin's effects.
Various factors can contribute to the development of diabetes. Genetics play a significant role in Type 1 diabetes, while lifestyle choices such as poor diet and lack of physical activity can increase the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. Other risk factors include obesity, high blood pressure, and age.
Recognizing the symptoms of diabetes is essential for early diagnosis and treatment. Common symptoms include frequent urination, excessive thirst, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, blurred vision, and slow wound healing. If you experience any of these symptoms, it's crucial to consult a healthcare provider for proper evaluation.
Diagnosing diabetes typically involves blood tests to measure blood sugar levels. A fasting blood sugar test, oral glucose tolerance test, or A1C test may be performed to confirm a diabetes diagnosis. Early detection is key to preventing complications associated with uncontrolled diabetes.
Once diagnosed, managing diabetes involves adopting a healthy lifestyle and following a treatment plan tailored to individual needs. This may include monitoring blood sugar levels regularly, taking prescribed medications such as insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents, eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins while limiting sugary foods and beverages.
Physical activity is also essential for managing diabetes as it helps lower blood sugar levels and improves overall health. Incorporating regular exercise into your routine can have significant benefits for both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics.
In addition to medication and lifestyle changes, regular medical check-ups are vital for monitoring blood sugar levels and assessing any potential complications. Complications of uncontrolled diabetes can affect various organs such as the eyes (diabetic retinopathy), kidneys (diabetic nephropathy), nerves (diabetic neuropathy), and heart (cardiovascular disease).
By understanding the basics of diabetes – its types, causes, symptoms, diagnosis methods - individuals can take proactive steps towards effectively managing their condition and leading a fulfilling life despite having diabetes. Remember that with proper care and support from healthcare providers, family members & friends; living well with diabetes is entirely possible!

Heels up sugar down.
All of the 600 muscles combined normally contribute only about 15% of the whole-body oxidative metabolism in the three hours after ingesting carbohydrate. Despite the fact that the soleus is only 1% the body weight, it is capable of raising its metabolic rate during Soleus push up’s contractions to easily double, even sometimes triple, the whole-body carbohydrate oxidation and reduce blood sugar, triglycerides and VLDL.
Soleus does not use glucagon uses blood glucose directly from the blood. Soleus does not get tired easily.
52% reduction in blood sugar
60% less insulin requirement
Solids use glucose from the blood and doesn’t use the glucagon as other muscles.
Soles push up increases that by two or three times the metabolic rate of the whole body.
A University of Houston Texas paper published 2022.
Solis push-ups
Reducing blood sugar by 52% .
Reducing insulin requirement by 60%.
You can move this muscle while sitting, watching TV sitting in a chair or practically doing any other side entry activity
Continue seeing your doctors and endocrinologists. Do A1c periodically and keep checking the blood sugar. Forward this to your friend read the article, and I am placing links to the article and read it.
Soleus muscle could raise local oxidative metabolism to high levels for hours without fatigue, during soleus push-ups even in unfit volunteers.
