<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">With the kind of lifestyle we have right now, we neglect what
we eat and sometimes forget to take good care of ourselves. For sure, we do not want to get sick especially with chronic diseases such as diabetes. When a person is diagnosed with it,
medications and certain diet must be maintained. Thus, one is deprived of the
meals and activities that he or she wants to do. It is best to prevent this
illness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Since it is a chronic disease, prevention of it must be at
high priority most especially for those who those are at risk to be inflicted. They
are the people who have history of diabetes in the family. Overweight and obese </span></span><span style="line-height: 18px;">people</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"> are also on the verge of acquiring the illness.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">The most common way for it to be prevented is to expose
oneself in exercise such as brisk walking, jogging and any form of physical
activity. According to a research, resistance training as well as aerobics can put
off </span></span><span style="line-height: 18px;">against</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"> the illness.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Another way is to increase fiber intake. It can also help in
controlling diabetes as foods rich in fiber prop up weight loss because it
increases metabolism. Seeds, beans, vegetable, fruits and whole grains are
examples of foods with high fiber content.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Lastly, see your doctor regularly for diabetes testing. As we
age and grow old, we become more prone to this kind of sickness because our
immune system is not as solid as before. Health consultation with the experts
is highly recommended in order to monitor the right food and vitamins to take.<o:p></o:p></span></div>Alnessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17394031079934012930noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2194738035252691185.post-23848962127528520632012-03-03T07:00:00.001-08:002012-03-03T07:00:06.701-08:00T1s and T2s will now be getting health insurance<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Do you have a medication condition which hinders you from
getting a health insurance? Let’s say, you have diabetes? Good News! Now,
there’s a temporary federal program which allows those who are hit by an illness to buy
an individual insurance for at least, the next few years.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For many years, type 1 diabetes has been referred to as an
automatic denial condition by the health insurance industry. It was impossible for T1s to but individual
health insurance in many states even for any amount of money. In some states
where you could, the insurance company providing you this would legally include
a rider denying coverage on anything which relates to your diabetes. Yes! You can
get health insurance except for diabetes. And worse, they can <b>legally</b> charge you for more. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For those who have type 2s which require insulin, they also had
difficulty in finding an individual insurance which was either too expensive or simply
unavailable. This also goes to those who have cancer, AIDS, and asthma. It’s ironic
how these companies wouldn’t sell insurance just when you need it the most</span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Hopefully, by 2014, this institutionalized
prejudice will be outlawed as the 974-page Affordable Care Act will fully roll
out. Assuming that the health insurance reform law surpasses legal challenges
and repeal threats, everyone will be required to buy health insurance for their
own. Insurance companies will also not be allowed to deny coverage. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></span></div>

the on-process Affordable Care Act has created a program called the
Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan (PCIP). The program will allow people who
were locked out from the market to get coverage NOW rather than on 2014. </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>Alnessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17394031079934012930noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2194738035252691185.post-35554967473925104542012-02-27T08:49:00.001-08:002012-02-27T08:49:03.863-08:00Having Diabetes can be cool!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Having something to worry about is so not cool- especially
when that something is as serious as diabetes. Every time you eat, you’ll be
concerned if food contains more sugar than what you need. When you go out, you
make sure your activities (or inactivity) wouldn’t trigger a need for an
insulin. And at times, you may have to worry about where to put your
medications. All these are not cool. But what you should know is that you can
put your mind at ease with diabetes cases which conveniently bring all your
supplies and protect them from possible damage during travel. Now, that’s cool!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Many insulin shops like Diabetic Care Services and Pharmacy
offer wide variety of choices on where to put your diabetes needs. They have
easy compact cases which carry the most important stuff. They also have large
bags which hold all your equipment if you’re out from home for a long time. And
you know what’s cooler? These cases are disguised in nice designs so it
wouldn’t look like your bringing some medical equipment on your travel.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One shop whose goal is to give kids the feeling of being
kids and let adults have fun while carrying those diabetes needs is Pump Wear
Inc. All of their products are created for comfort, freedom, flexibility, and
fun for all age with diabetes. The company has expanded their line of insulin
pump clothing from pump shirts, pump bands, t-shirts, pj’s, and other clothing
that will make you feel good. In fact, you can even have it personalized with
your own picture. </div>Alnessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17394031079934012930noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2194738035252691185.post-26288617692919754412012-02-20T07:00:00.000-08:002012-02-20T07:00:25.893-08:00Manage Diabetes through healthy diet<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
The number of incidences on diabetes has increased. Most of
our parents or grandparents have suffered the complications of diabetes. But
throughout the world, diabetes is a feared disease which also grows amongst
children. Most little kids suffer from type 1 diabetes. In fact, 90% of those
young people who have diabetes have type 1. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The type 1 diabetes is caused by the pancreas’ inability to
produce insulin. It is a condition in the immune system where it attacks one of
the body’s organs or tissues. The causes of diabetes in children are still not
determined even in adults. Other specialists presume it as a combination of
genes and is triggered in the environment. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In America, children and adults who are affected by type 2
diabetes is beginning to rise. The cause for this type of diabetes is mostly
from a bad diet from a very young age along with a stressful lifestyle without
doing any exercise. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Diabetes in both children and adults has the same symptoms.
For over a few weeks, people who manifest this sickness experience thirst,
frequent urination, weariness, and loss of weight. Typically, in children, they
may experience behavioural problems, headaches, and pains in the tummy. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At the early signs of diabetes, children should be brought
to diabetes specialist. One certain method for treating type 1 diabetic is
insulin treatment. The treatment varies from different children. An insulin
regimen is made to suit to the requirements of the individual and their habits. Insulin is administered in the day and lower levels during
night time. </div>
