Belly Fat Linked To Type-2 Diabetes
Submitted by HealthDoc — March 18, 2008 at 4:36 am
90% of Type-2 Diabetes cases develop after significant fat is gained the belly area. This belly-fat contributes to insulin resistance which effectively 'gums-up' pores in body cells preventing sugar from being absorbed from the blood. As blood sugars rise the pancreas works harder by making more insulin. Years of stress and overwork causes the pancreas to fail prematurely leading to insulin fatigue and diabetes.

Hi Kate,
Thanks for your comment. Glad the video explanation was helpful. Congratulations on your success so far. Beginning a regular exercise program will help you maintain the weight you have already lost, and make it easier to control your diabetes in the years to come. Sit-ups will help to strengthen your abdominal muscles and flatten your stomach somewhat, but regular aerobic exercise will burn unwanted fat. This is especially true when exercise extends beyond 30 minutes. Start slowly to build your strength and stamina until you can walk briskly for 1 hour. If you have difficulty walking, try water exercises. Good luck. Stay in touch and let me know how it goes.
