1 Keep It Simple There s a BIG LINK between diabetes, heart disease and stroke. In fact, 2 out of 3 people with diabetes die from cardiovascular disease, which affects the heart and blood vessels (arteries, veins and capillaries). These conditions also share common lifestyle risk factors. The good news is that simple daily habits can dramatically prevent and reduce the risk of these leading causes of death. Reduce Your Risk Take ACTION and feel better today by improving blood glucose, blood pressure and blood fats to prevent disease tomorrow. MOVE MORE Adults need at least: 150 minutes/week of moderate intensity aerobic activity 2 days/week of muscle-strengthening activities Kids (6-18) need at least: 60 minutes/day of moderate or vigorous intensity aerobic activity 3 days/week of muscle & bone strengthening activities BE TOBACCO FREE Detect Early. Get blood glucose levels tested. For heart disease, see your doctor to discuss risk factors, tests & procedures. Take action by making the lifestyle changes listed above; these can prevent, delay or slow disease progression! Work with your healthcare team to manage medications & monitor health numbers to prevent complications. EAT HEALTHY Mostly plants, fruits, & whole grains Fat-free or low fat dairy Lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs and nuts Limit saturated/trans fats, sodium and added sugars Control portion sizes Limit alcohol CONTROL WEIGHT BMI is a useful measure of overweight and obesity. It is calculated from your height & weight. A loss of just 5-10% of your starting weight can greatly improve health if overweight or obese. Treat Right! F-Face: Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop? A-Arms: Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? S-Speech: Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is their speech slurred or strange? T-Time: If you observe any of these signs, call immediately. MORE BENEFITS Being active & at a healthy weight: Relieves tension, anxiety, depression & anger Boosts energy & promotes optimism Increases longevity & quality of life QUICK TIPS Find your why and remind yourself daily: A strong motivator keeps you going! Set a goal and take small steps; walk 30 minutes, 5 days/week. Get support and manage your environment; find a class or set up reminders!
2 The Basics What is Diabetes? Diabetes is a disease in which blood glucose levels are above normal. Most of the food we eat is turned into glucose, or sugar, for our bodies to use for energy. A hormone called insulin helps glucose get into the cells of our bodies. When you have diabetes, your body either doesn t make enough insulin or can t use its own insulin as well as it should causing sugar to build up in your blood. Over time, diabetes can lead to serious problems with your blood vessels, heart, nerves, kidneys, mouth, eyes and feet. The most serious problem caused by diabetes is heart disease. People can develop diabetes at any age. Both women and men can develop diabetes. People who are overweight and inactive are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes. From the American Diabetes Association: Diabetes Basics. Breaking it Down TYPE 1 The immune system attacks and destroys cells that make insulin. TYPE 2 Usually begins with insulin resistance; certain cells aren t using the insulin to carry glucose into cells for energy. At first, more insulin is produced to help glucose enter cells but, over time, the pancreas doesn t make enough insulin and treatment is needed. GESTATIONAL DIABETES Hormonal changes of pregnancy cause insulin resistance for all women in the third trimester. If gestational diabetes occurs, it often goes away after pregnancy. However, there is a greater chance of women developing type 2 diabetes later in life and the baby is more likely to develop obesity and type 2 diabetes. From the National Institutes of Health: Your Guide to Diabetes: Type 1 and Type 2. What is Heart Disease? The term heart disease refers to several types of heart conditions. The most common type is coronary artery disease, which can cause heart attacks. Other kinds of heart disease may involve the valves in the heart, or the heart may not pump well and cause heart failure. Some people are born with heart disease. For most, it occurs when a substance called plaque builds up in the arteries. When this happens, the arteries can narrow over time reducing blood flow to the heart. From the National Institutes of Health: What Causes Heart Disease? What is a Stroke? To work properly, your brain needs oxygen; it uses 20% of the oxygen you breathe. Your arteries deliver oxygen-rich blood to all parts of your brain. If something happens to interrupt the flow of blood, brain cells start to die within minutes because they can t get oxygen. This is called a stroke. Sudden bleeding in the brain can also cause a stroke if it damages brain cells. From the Centers for Disease Control: Conditions That Increase Risk for Stroke National Institutes of Health: Diabetes, Heart Disease and Stroke. Anyone, including children, can develop heart disease. Risk factors include: smoking, secondhand smoke, high amounts of certain fats and cholesterol in the blood, high blood pressure, insulin resistance or diabetes, and blood vessel inflammation. Anyone can have a stroke at any age. Some risk factors, like age and family history, cannot be controlled. Many others can be controlled, such as high blood pressure and cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes, and use of oral contraceptives.
