Insulin
Intolerance-Dietary Suggestions and Symptoms Insulin intolerance is a medical condition whereby the normal quantity of insulin is not enough to create a response from the fat cells, the liver cells and the muscle cells in the body. In other words, insulin created from the pancreas cannot be used properly. Glucose is a natural form of sugar that the body uses to provide energy. Once food is eaten, the body breaks it down to a useful form, glucose. Then, it travels through the bloodstream to be distributed throughout the cells in the body. The pancreas releases insulin to assist the cells in the use and maintenance of glucose. When the normal amount of insulin does not properly assist the cells, a higher level of insulin is needed to perform the function of assisting the cells. If this is not received, the pancreas must increase the level of insulin production to keep up with the glucose level that builds up in the blood stream. This is the onset of diabetes. These high levels of insulin and glucose in the bloodstream create many health risks the individual, which can culminate in death if not treated. Diet The common misnomer is that insulin intolerance means that an individual must change his/her diet in a severe manner. This is not necessarily true. It is important to create a healthy diet, if this is not the case already. Implement fruit, vegetables and whole grains in the place of high "carb" food. This is good advice for anyone, not just those who are insulin intolerant. Foods with high levels of carbohydrates increase the glucose level in the blood system. More importantly, a steady plan or routine is recommended. Consistency will create a balance for the body. A routine allows the body to become conditioned to the intake of carbohydrates into the body, which is easier to control. Variance in servings, as well as the time of day, creates a more erratic schedule for the body, resulting in more dangers to the individual's health. Seek a medical professional for a referral to a trained and registered dietician. This can be a positive step towards controlling your diet and changing eating habits. Symptoms Symptoms of insulin intolerance may not be so easy to detect. It is important to be aware of unfamiliar patterns or slight differences in energy levels throughout the day. Often, symptoms that evolve around insulin intolerance are: lack of focus, bloating (intestinal), fatigue or unusual bouts of sleepiness, high blood pressure and sadness or depression. Lack of focus-Insulin intolerance can create difficulties with concentration, which is sometimes referred to as "fogginess." Bloating-Carbohydrates create gas in the intestines. Those who suffer from insulin intolerance are inclined to feel gastric pain and suffer from gas. Fatigue-It is not uncommon for individuals who suffer from insulin intolerance to feel signs of sleepiness during the day even with a full night of sleep. High blood pressure-Most individuals with high blood pressure suffer from insulin intolerance as well. Depression-Problems derived from insulin intolerance often create symptoms of mental illness. Depression is the most prevalent of these issues. Insulin intolerance doesn't have to greatly alter a person's life, but the detrimental aspects of going unchecked may have a devastating effect. If you are feeling any of the above symptoms, it is a good idea to consult a physician to have your blood sugar level checked. It is a painlessly simple procedure and one that may vastly improve the quality of life. . |
