- Diabetes. What is Diabetes? Diabetes is a common illness with approximately 3.2million people diagnosed in the UK and an estimated 630,000 people affected who have the condition and are unaware of it. Diabetes is a condition whereby there is excess sugar in the blood. The amount of sugar in the blood is controlled by a hormone called insulin, which is produced by the pancreas. When food is digested and enters your bloodstream, insulin moves glucose out of the blood and into cells, where it's broken down to produce energy. However, if you have diabetes, your body is unable to break down glucose. This is because there's either not enough insulin to move the glucose into the body’s cells, OR the insulin produced doesn't work properly. There are 2 types of diabetes; Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 vs. Type 2 Diabetes Type 1 diabetes accounts for 1 in 10 of all adults with diabetes. This is where the body does not produce any insulin and is treated by daily insulin injections. Type 1 diabetes may develop at any age but normally appears prior to the age of 40 and especially in childhood, it can develop quickly over weeks or even days. Type 1 diabetes is caused by a fault in the body’s immune response in which the immune system mistakenly targets and kills the cells responsible for insulin production. As more insulin producing cells are killed off, the body can no longer control its blood glucose levels and the symptoms of diabetes begin to appear. What causes the initial fault in the immune system is yet to be discovered, however, research suggests that the condition results from a combination of genetic predisposition with an environmental trigger. With Type 2 diabetes there is a decreased amount of insulin production OR when the body is unable to utilise insulin effectively (insulin resistance). This again causes an increase in the amount of glucose found in the bloodstream. Type 2 diabetes is usually managed with lifestyle modification and daily medication. In the later stages of the disease there may be a need for daily insulin injections alongside the medication. Type 2 diabetes tends to develop later in life and many people can have it for years without realising it because the early symptoms tend to be general. Symptoms of diabetes The main symptoms of diabetes are: feeling very thirsty urinating more frequently than usual, particularly at night feeling very tired weight loss and loss of muscle bulk itching around the penis or vagina, or frequent episodes of thrush cuts or wounds that heal slowly blurred vision (caused by the lens of the eye becoming dry) You should visit your GP as soon as possible if you notice any of the above symptoms or can ring us to discuss concerns or advice regarding diabetes or any other health queries that you may have. Can excessive glucose in the bloodstream be harmful? YES!!!People with diabetes have an increased risk of developing a number of serious health problems. These include; blindness, loss of kidney function, heart attack and limb amputation as result of poor wound healing. Everyone with diabetes aged 12 or over should be invited to have their eyes screened once a year. If you have diabetes, your eyes are at risk from diabetic retinopathy, a condition that can lead to sight loss if it's not treated. Screening, which involves a half-hour check to examine the back of the eyes, is a way of detecting the condition early so it can be treated more effectively. Prevention, Prevention, Prevention!! Type 2 diabetes maybe prevented by lifestyle modifications of; stop smoking, increased exercise, healthy balanced diet and reducing alcohol intake. The main two factors are exercise and diet. Exercise- This can be beneficial in numerous ways. This can reduce body weight which will reduce the risk related to central obesity. Exercise can also increase insulin sensitivity which essentially tackles the root cause of type 2 diabetes. The guidance for exercise for adults and older people is 150 minutes (two and half hours) each week of moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity. Activity should be spread out through the day into bite-size chunks. One way to do your recommended 150 minutes of weekly physical activity is to do 30 minutes on five days a week. Diet- The key to a healthy balanced diet is: eating the right amount of food for how active you are & eating a range of foods – this is what balanced means. The range of foods in your diet should include: plenty of fruit and vegetables (five a day), plenty of bread, rice, potatoes, pasta and other starchy foods (choosing wholegrain varieties when possible), some milk and dairy foods (choosing lower-fat varieties when possible), some meat, fish, eggs, beans and other non-dairy sources of protein and just a SMALL amount of foods which are high in fat and sugar.

However, this break has given the qualified for traditional football supporter the opportunity to take the last sixteen a closer look at the women’s game with the stage of the Women’s World Cup currently taking place in competition France.
