Managing Non-Communicable Diseases
Cardiometabolic disorders include cardiovascular diseases and metabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes. These represent some of the most serious health challenges of the 21st century. Cardiometabolic diseases are a group of common but often preventable conditions including heart attack, stroke, diabetes, insulin resistance and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

What is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a disease that occurs when the blood glucose, also called blood sugar, is too high. Glucose is the body's main source of energy. Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas that helps glucose get into the cells to be used for energy. If someone has diabetes, the body doesn't make enough—or any—insulin or doesn't use insulin properly. Glucose then stays in the blood and doesn't reach the cells.
Types of Diabetes
Type 1 Diabetes
The body makes little or no insulin. The immune system attacks and destroys the cells in the pancreas that make insulin. Usually diagnosed in children and young adults.
Type 2 Diabetes
The cells in the body don't use insulin properly. The pancreas may be making insulin but not enough to keep blood glucose in normal range. Most common type of diabetes.
Gestational Diabetes
Develops during pregnancy. Most of the time goes away after the baby is born, but increases risk of developing type 2 diabetes later.
Prediabetes
Blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
Cardiometabolic Syndrome (CMS): A complex cluster of risk factors for cardiovascular disease and diabetes including hyperglycaemia, dyslipidaemia, hypertension, and obesity. The CMS is believed to affect at least one in five adults worldwide.
Risk Factors for Diabetes Mellitus
- Family History of DM
- Obesity - BMI >25kg/m²
- Physical Inactivity
- Race/Ethnicity - African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans
- Impaired fasting glucose
- Impaired glucose tolerance
- HbA1c of 5.7-6.4%
- History of GDM
- Delivery of a baby >4kg
- Hypertension (BP ≥140/90mmHg)
- HDL <35mg/dl AND/OR Triglycerides >250 mg/dl
- Polycystic ovarian syndrome
- Acanthosis Nigricans
Symptoms of Diabetes
- Increased thirst and urination
- Increased hunger
- Feeling tired
- Blurred vision
- Numbness or tingling in the feet or hands
- Sores that do not heal
- Unexplained weight loss
Symptoms of type 2 diabetes often develop slowly—over several years—and can be so mild that you might not even notice them. Many people have no symptoms.
Complications of Diabetes
Over time, high blood glucose can damage the heart, kidneys, feet, and eyes. Managing your blood glucose, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels can help prevent future health problems. Diabetes also raises the risk for damage to the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and heart, and is linked to some types of cancer.
Prediabetes and Insulin Resistance
People with metabolic syndrome—a combination of high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol levels, and large waist size—are more likely to have prediabetes. Being overweight or having obesity are risk factors for developing insulin resistance or prediabetes.

How to Reverse Insulin Resistance & Prediabetes
If you have insulin resistance, you want to become more insulin sensitive (cells are more effective at absorbing blood sugar so less insulin is needed). Physical activity makes you more sensitive to insulin. Taking small steps, such as eating healthier foods and moving more to lose weight, can help reverse insulin resistance and prevent or delay type 2 diabetes in people with prediabetes.
Weight loss is important too, as is avoiding high blood sugar, reducing stress, and getting enough sleep. These lifestyle changes really work, so get started. Some medicines also assist in reversing insulin resistance.
Managing Diabetes & Prediabetes Just Got Natural

Take Action for Better Health
Don't wait until you're diagnosed with diabetes to start moving more. The earlier you take action, the better off you'll be. Taking small steps, such as eating healthier foods and moving more to lose weight, can help reverse insulin resistance and prevent or delay type 2 diabetes in people with prediabetes.
