3) Diabetes and Nutrition Consulling
Diabetes increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. The majority of people (approximately 80%) with diabetes will die from heart disease and stroke.
Diabetes is also the leading cause of blindness, kidney failure and non-traumatic amputation.
In Canada, the number of people with diabetes is growing every year, and they’re getting younger.
Approximately 1.8 million Canadians (5.5% of the population) were diagnosed with diabetes in 2005.
That number is expected to climb to 2.4 million by 2016.

Diabetes – Good News
Lifestyle changes can reduce the risk of the most common type of diabetes − type 2 diabetes by 60%.
While there are no safe and effective ways to prevent less common types of diabetes, a healthy lifestyle can reduce the risk of developing heart disease.
People with diabetes can live long and productive lives.

What is diabetes?
Diabetes develops when the body has a problem with a hormone – insulin produced by pancreas.
Insulin helps move sugar (glucose) in food from the blood into the cells of the body where it can be used for energy.
Insulin resistance: The body’s cells do not respond properly to the effects of insulin.
If pancreas can’t make enough insulin, or if insulin resistance, glucose builds up and damages blood vessels in the body.
Damaged blood vessels can cause problems such as heart disease, stroke, kidney disease (nephropathy), eye damage (retinopathy) and nerve damage (neuropathy).
![Page 19: B1 immigrant health and nutrition counselling dr. jian guan](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052618/554cd062b4c905d6488b4763/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Types of Diabetes
1. Type 1 occurs in about 10% of cases. When cells in the pancreas that make insulin are destroyed, the body has no, or very little, insulin to move glucose from blood into body cells.
2. Type 2 occurs in about 90% of cases. In type 2 diabetes, the pancreas usually doesn’t produce enough insulin to meet the body’s needs. In some instances, body cells can’t use insulin properly.
3. Gestational Diabetes (diabetes during pregnancy) occurs in about 2 to 4% of pregnant women. This form of diabetes usually goes away after giving birth, however, both mother and baby are at an increased risk of developing diabetes later in life.
![Page 20: B1 immigrant health and nutrition counselling dr. jian guan](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052618/554cd062b4c905d6488b4763/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes is more common in people over the age of 40. But, unfortunately, it is now being seen in younger people, even children. Most of these children are from ethnic groups that are at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes particularly the Aboriginal, Hispanic, African and Asian populations.

Prediabetes
Prediabetes is when blood glucose levels are almost as high as with diabetes.
Prediabetes does not mean you have diabetes. However, it may indicate an increased risk for developing diabetes in the future.
Making healthy lifestyle choices, such as controlling weight, eating a healthy diet and being physically active can help prevent developing diabetes.

Diabetes and Healthy Lifestyle
These simple steps will help reduce diabetes risk:• Lead a healthy lifestyle• Eat a healthy diet• Get regular physical activity

STEP 1 - Healthy Eating Habits
Addresses the problems of carbohydrate sensitivity and fat storage
With this lifestyle change, you will not go hungry, feel deprived, or quit from lack of variety (don’t count calories)
Emphasis on adopting a diet made up of low-glycemic foods
![Page 25: B1 immigrant health and nutrition counselling dr. jian guan](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052618/554cd062b4c905d6488b4763/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

With constant yo-yo dieting you lose muscle and gain body fat
With exercise your body will be in fat burning mode

The Glycemic Index (GI)
Glycemic Index measures the impact of carbs on blood sugar levels
High GI foods such as sugar, white flour and rice quickly raise blood sugar levels and insulin production
High GI foods with high GL amount throw your metabolic switch into fat storage mode (independent of calories!)
