 According to the data of the International Diabetes Federation the fourth leading cause of death in the world is diabetes. Recently the number of people diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes has increased from 30 million to 246 over the last 2 decades. By 2025 it expected to go to 380 million if something is not done.
Obesity is the link that is the culprit at present. Obesity results in insulin resistance which causes the pancreas to make more insulin. If the pancreas cannot keep up then persons develop diabetes. This development carries increased risk of cardiovascular diseases in diabetics. Do you know that approximately 80% of diabetics die of some type of cardio disease complications? Couple this with the obesity diabetics can suffer from, the risk of CVD's is even greater.
If you have a high waist circumference and are experiencing elevated blood glucose levels then you're on your way to developing diabetes. With this development appears the risk of many other factors such as cardiovascular disease or CVD's.
Studies of 1338 healthy middle-aged persons across Europe measured cardiovascular risks are elevated dramatically based on established risk factors such as high blood pressure, insulin resistance and high waist circumference. It was discovered that insulin resistance relates to high risk scores but it is not the only factor connecting diabetes with CVD's.
Performing exercise is one of the most important factors when dealing with diabetes and CVD's. Any amount of exercise helps with the heart and insulin resistance even if the patient remains overweight according to most physicians. Total activity is the key to getting ahead of the curve with weight, diabetes and cardiovascular health.
