One of the symptoms of high blood sugar levels or the over secretion of insulin to lover it is and many don’t know it, early baldness in men. The kind of baldness I experienced, which is baldness before the age of 30. And I was completely bald at 25. That really makes me wander if I have a diabetic gene in myself or if it was the result of my terrible, sugar and flour loaded diet.
I was very athletic. I was basically a performing animal. Going from brutal practice to brutal practice and winning races. So my fitness was great. The problem was in my diet. Looking back at it, and picturing myself and my teammates pimples covered faces, makes me grab something made of glass and throw it against the wall.
Why nobody told us? The answer is, that nobody knew. Everybody thought, that you need sugar, that sugar is energy and you need energy.
The result of this were hard rowing practices and races full of pain and fog in front of our eyes from all those sugar and insulin spikes that were happening in our bodies. Like I said before, knowing what I know now about diet and how crappy our was, I would have a medal from Olympic Games, and maybe it would be a gold one.
Effects of high blood glucose levels, of the extra insulin secreted to lover it, or both:
The situation, you might be facing every morning, after eating your favorite bowl of cereals, or having your favorite muffin in neighborhood Starbucs. But most probably several times per day.
This is a very scary stuff. So be warned ahead. It kind of makes me quit everything that is processed or has even a little bit of sugar in it. Ooooo, actually, I already did that.
Her are the effects:
Cancer as it turns out, has a sweet tooth
Recent researches show that the consumption of high amounts of sugar and refined grains boosts the odds for cancers of the esophagus, kidneys, and pancreas.
Excessive insulin production, in response to high glucose (right after you eat that muffin) appears to raise your risk of being diagnosed with a number of cancers, including breast and liver.
High blood sugar can sour your mood
In a recent study, researchers found that people who drink two and a half cans of sugary soda daily are three times more likely to be depressed and anxious than those drinking less pop.
High glucose levels in your blood can drive you crazy
High glucose levels provide fertile soil for plaque-forming proteins that can wreck brain neurons, increasing the odds of dementia, and than speeding it up once it begins. Some researchers believe that Alzheimer’s disease may be a sort of “type 3” diabetes, a provocative but yet unproved theory.
High blood glucose levels can brake your heart
Elevated blood sugar levels correlate with a greatly increased risk of heart disease, the number one killer of Americans.
High blood sugar levels increase the risk of stroke
High blood pressure is responsible for this. The San Antonio Heart study concluded that high insulin levels, both fasting and post meal, predict hypertension in the normal-weight and overweight alike.
The hormonal response to high blood sugar that crashes is like having 3 or 4 panic attacks a day. That will jack up anyone’s blood pressure.
The kidney disease is more likely happen to people eating heavy sugar/carbohydrate diet
High blood sugar levels case bad vision and even blindness
High blood sugar levels cause to loose some hearing
The researchers speculated, that over time, the tiny blood vessels might become damaged in your ears (cochlea), same as in your eyes (retina).
Along the way, your teeth will rot
In part because too-high blood glucose damages the salivary glands, and raises the risk for gum infections.
High blood sugar levels cause erectile distinction
High sugar levels damages small blood vessels first. So, guys, first your penis goes, than your heart and brain follow suit.
Woman aren’t spared either. High sugar levels tend to diminish their sex drive, promote vaginal dryness, and short-circuit their organs.
Women with high blood sugar levels have a narrower fertility window than women with normal blood sugar levels. They often have increased difficulty conceiving.
Over time, diabetics often develop nerve damage, usually starting in the feet
In the public mind, diabetic and amputee are almost synonymous. No wonder: the disease is responsible for loss of about 84 000 limbs every year.
Researchers have found that diabetes damages the DNA in man’s sperm. This has a serious and detrimental effect on the ability of an embryo produced from the sperm to, implant, and then survive pregnancy.
Blood sugar gyrations can lead to insomnia and other sleep disorders. And that appears to increase formation of blood clots, a predictor of heart disease.
Why the F… would you than eat so much processed sugar? Isn’t this scary enough? It is! And if you let sugar, carbohydrate overloading and inactivity destroy your body and your life with it, than you don’t really deserve to be healthy.
Staying healthy and preventing and curind type 2 diabetes takes conscious thinking, some form of knowledge and willingness to apply that knowledge. If you eat garbage food and don’t move regularly, than you’re missing one or more of these traits. Fight like hell to improve that. Learn, thing and apply ruthlessly, otherwise you will live unhealthy miserable life full of pain and regret.
