High blood pressure is a concern for anyone but people with diabetics are more likely to
suffer from it than others.  If you are obese and diabetic, a high blood pressure can be
deadly leading to a fatal heart attack.  Like many health risks associated with diabetes,
good control of your blood sugars, a healthy diet and physical activity can help to keep
your blood pressure in check.

Combining Food to Control Diabetes and Reduce Obesity

As a diabetic who is trying to lose weight, it is not only important what you eat and how
much but what you eat together too.  Foods react differently together and for optimal
performance and the best affect on your blood glucose level there are a few guidelines
that should be followed.

Childhood Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes

When a child is diagnosed with diabetes it is commonly referred to as juvenile diabetes or
type 1 diabetes.  This type of diabetes is not related to a child’s lifestyle, it is an
autoimmune disease that results in the need for insulin injections for food to be turned
into energy properly.  In recent years there have been an increased number of children
that have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.  This is an alarming trend and one that can
be mitigated because the link between children and type 2 diabetes is childhood obesity.
