Obesity and Pre-Diabetes

You can be diagnosed with pre-diabetes before you actually get diabetes.  In pre-diabetes
you have higher than normal blood sugars but they are not at the level that they would
need to be in order to be considered diabetic.  If you are obese or severely overweight and
pre-diabetic there are steps you can take to put off the actual diagnosis of diabetes or
prevent it.

Motivation to Lose Weight

When you are diabetic you have probably read in many places and have heard from your
doctor how beneficial it is for you to lose weight.  But that doesn’t make it any easier to
do.  It is difficult to do, but everyone is right; you will reap many benefits from losing
weight including managing your diabetes and blood glucose levels.

Diabetes and Obesity can Cause Depression

Many people suffer from depression at some point in their lives and people with diabetes
are no exception.  If you are obese and have type 2 diabetes you may blame yourself and
your lifestyle on the disease you now have.  It is hard to adjust to a new lifestyle.  Feeling
down or guilty about this is okay and even normal but if it turns into something more you
need to seek professional help.
