If you are suffering from type2 diabetes, I would advise you to eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly in order to control your blood glucose level. This is a piece of advice you should read and re-read and make an essential part of your daily life. In this article I will tell you how your diet considerably affects your blood glucose level and how you, by following the right diet therapy for type 2 diabetes, keep type2 diabetes at bay.

Our pancreas creates a hormone called insulin whose job is to control the level of glucose present in our blood. The symptoms of type2 diabetes begin to show up when a string of problems occur in combination with insulin secretion and insulin resistance. Do you know what insulin resistance is?

People who suffer from type2 diabetes are generally unable to produce the amount of insulin required to control the glucose level in their blood. In other words, these people are generally insulin-resistant. The irony is that these people need to produce a large amount of insulin to keep with the increasing level of sugar in their blood streams. Since their pancreas doesn't produce the required amount of insulin, there is a lot of pressure on the beta cells to produce the required quantity of insulin. Now, if the beta cells are not healthy enough to produce the required amount of insulin, then the level of glucose in blood continues to rise and diabetes occurs. It is generally seen that lean and thin people are usually less prone to diabetes than obese people.

There is only one solution before you: you must make your muscles very sensitive to insulin. To do this, you need to do regular exercises and workouts and also have a healthy diet pattern. Regular exercises will make your muscles more sensitive to insulin and the result will be that less amount of insulin will be needed to control the blood sugar level in your body and there won't be any pressure on your beta cells to produce excess amounts of insulin. Once your blood sugar level is controlled you will be able to cure diabetes easily. Here are some of the things you can do in order to make your muscles sensitive to insulin:

1. If you are currently living a sedentary lifestyle, you should look for ways to increase the level of physical activity in your daily life. You should participate in sports and other activities, or visit a gym and do the workouts, etc. You can also participate in household chores in order to keep your muscles active.

2. If you are eating foods which contain a lot of calories in them you should change your diet patterns immediately! Adopt a diet that is rich in fat and protein and low in carbohydrates. You will have less amount of glucose in your blood if you eat foods that are low in carbohydrates. In fact I would say that a low-carb-high-fat diet is the ideal diet therapy for type 2 diabetes

3. You should try to lose some weight by doing workouts in gym or exercises at home
