Type 2 diabetes usually occurs later in life and is mostly a lifestyle disease that results from obesity and lack of exercise.
Insulin may be insufficient or the cells that take up glucose may be resistant to the action of insulin.
Ultimately, the result can be the same as in type 1 diabetes, that is, a complete failure of the beta cells and insulin
supply.
Gestational diabetes occurs in pregnancy, and although potentially serious, it is usually a temporary event with full
recovery after childbirth as long as weight is controlled. It could suggest susceptibility to diabetes later in life.
Pre-diabetes is a condition in which blood glucose is abnormally high but not high enough for a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes.
Without attention to diet, weight loss, and exercise, a progression to diabetes is often inevitable.
Hypertension and Stroke Prevention weight training:
Approximately 57% of the adult population is estimated to have hypertension (resting blood pressure > 140/90) or pre-hypertension.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and the American College
of Sports Medicine all recommend at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, 75 minutes of vigorous
aerobic activity, or a combination of both for adults.
