Type 2 diabetes is a passion of mine when it comes to nutrition and health. Lately during my Masters I’ve been delving into various aspects of diet and health when it comes to both prevention and management.
I also happen to love writing in depth health series here on the blog so I thought we’d delve deep into the topic of type 2 diabetes. In this series we can explore dietary aspects such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. We’ll also look at what is happening with the changes in the body, and most importantly we’ll be looking at practical ways you can actively prevent type 2 diabetes, or manage it more effectively.

Type 2 Diabetes Diet & Health Series
This series is not just for people with type 2 diabetes, it is also for people who are overweight or obese, or just want to be more informed about the condition. Type 2 diabetes is increasing at a rapid rate so it’s something we all need to be more informed about. If you are overweight or obese you most likely already have a condition known as insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is a precursor for type 2 diabetes and people can suffer with this 5-10 years prior to a diabetes diagnosis.
There are 2 very important things to know in regard to insulin resistance:
- Insulin resistance puts you at risk of many diseases including heart disease, cancer, alziemers, and other issues. The insulin resistance greatly impacts your health and you may not even know it’s occuring. A lot of damage can already be done to your health in the interim before diagnosis.
- If you have insulin resistance you can recover and avoid getting type 2 diabetes. It is the most effective time to take action on getting healthier. Now that’s good news don’t you think?
By the way, if you don’t know what insulin resistance is we’ll be digging into that topic as well
