Persuasive Speech On Type 2 Diabetes

I know you are going through a tough time, so I have decided to do my best to help you through this time. Since you have type II diabetes, your cells aren’t using the insulin you produce as they should. Your doctor may have called this insulin resistance. The sugar is building up in your blood, because your pancreas can’t keep up. There could be many things that have caused your diabetes. For example, your DNA makeup can affect how your body makes insulin. Or it could be because of weight. It could also be metabolic syndrome; people who have this have many different conditions, which include high blood glucose, high blood pressure, and many more. You could also have too much glucose coming from your liver. Usually after a person eats the liver will slow down the function, but yours may not. Or your cells could just be having trouble communicating. There are many aspects of diabetes that you can’t control. But there are some things you can control: Little to no exercise, smoking, stress, and even sleeping too much or little. You should try to work on these things to help improve. Even by loosing

weight you could cut your risk in half. By being active and eating right you are really going to help yourself.
You cannot change what has already happened, so focus on what you can change. Start being a little healthier, and I think you will really benefit. You should really start working, because over time your high blood sugar can cause problems in your heart, kidneys, eyes, nerves, wound healing, and even pregnancy. If you take all your medication, continue to check your glucose, and eat healthy, you will lower the risk of these things happening to you. You should also keep seeing your doctor.
Your diet is also very important now. I think it would be great for you to count your calories; you should try to eat around 1,800 calories per day. I know that this is all very new, but I think you can do great as long as you put in the effort. You could even get your own nutritionist. I have created a few days worth of meal plans for you to try, enjoy! Feel free to make any changes just make sure you are managing your calories! You can also include a snack; celery sticks are a great snack.

Exercise will also be very important.

Exercise can slow down diabetes. I think you should set a goal to exercise 30 minutes per day, but work up to that goal. Start out small and continue to work until you are able to do this. I know this is a new life style for you, but you are going to have to make the adjustments to overcome this. Now that you have diabetes, your risk of having a heart attack, stroke, kidney disease, and nerve problems have gone up. But as long as you are taking care of yourself you can lower those chances. It is very important that you find an activity that you enjoy doing. Going for a simple walk, or dancing, swimming, and biking are all great things to do. You should make a schedule, start out slow and then continue to add more as you progress. Finding a partner is also a great idea, so I am always here if you want to try something

new.
I know that you will work hard and find a way to get through this difficult time. I hope this information has helped you and that you will learn a lot through this experience. I am always here if you need help. Good luck!
