 SummaryDespite the high rate of occurrence of both diabetes and hypertension in humans, the cardiovascular effects of the two conditions have not been investigated when they occur simultaneously. Thus this study examined the vascular effects of simultaneous type 2 diabetes and renal hypertension on endothelial function. Serum malondialdehyde and systolic blood pressure (SBP) were measured, glucose tolerance test (GTT) was performed, and concentration‐response to phenylephrine (PE) in the absence and presence of nitro‐l‐arginine methyl ester (l‐NAME), acetylcholine and sodium nitroprusside were conducted on aortic rings from diabetic control, type 2 diabetes, sham‐operated, renal hypertensive, and simultaneous type 2 diabetes plus hypertension rats respectively. Hypertension, diab... Read more »

| Diets for People with Diabetes

 I used to weigh 285 pounds. That is the weight I was when I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in the early 1990's. I have lost over 100 pounds and I am still hacking away at that number. This weight loss came from trying many different diets and plans until I found the right one for me. As my lifestyle or preferences changed, so did my diet.
I do not feel I wasted my time trying all those different diets, I did lose a little weight with most. In my journey, I went from more lenient diets and baby stepped my way to the next diet that afforded more control, more weight loss, and overall a better quality of life. This has happened slowly. Because of this I learned a lot along the way and weight regain was minimal.
With popular general diets, ... Read more »

 Certain foods tend to be more problematic when it comes to trying to control triglyceride levels. People with type 2 diabetes tend to have more of an intolerance to these types of foods. Thankfully there are some foods that seem to lower triglyceride levels and are good for diabetes and general health.
Learn what foods you need to limit and what foods you should make sure you are getting regularly.

 Do you have type 2 diabetes and high triglycerides? If you do, you are not alone. I struggle myself. Considerably. I have been told I am one of the lucky ones who have a genetic component that is contributing to high levels. This does not mean I cannot do anything about it. In fact, I do see a difference when I adhere to lifestyle changes that help to lower levels and lower associated risks.
There are some causes of high levels that are related to diabetes and diabetes management. Knowledge is one of the best tools for gaining control. Follow the link below and gain some knowledge that may help you make a dent in those levels.

| Role of coffee in modulation of diabetes risk
29.03.2012 7:42 9258497 views 0 comments
 Coffee consumption has been associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes. This association does not depend on race, gender, geographic distribution of the study populations, or the type of coffee consumed (i.e., caffeinated or decaffeinated). This review discusses the strength of this relationship, examines the possibility that the pattern of coffee consumption could influence the association, and evaluates the possible relationship between coffee consumption and other risk factors associated with diabetes. Particular attention is paid to the identification, on the basis of the scientific evidence, of the possible mechanisms by which coffee components might affect diabetes development, especially in light of the paradoxical effect of caffeine on glucose metabolism. In addition to the ro... Read more »
