Chiropractic Benefits for Diabetes Patients

Definition
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a multi-system disease characterized by persistent hyperglycemia (increased blood sugar). It results in both acute and chronic issues like mobility, headaches, and neuromusculoskeletal issues. Type-2 diabetes or adult-onset diabetes represents the most common form of the disease. Chiropractors recognize these complications and can help diabetic patients with musculoskeletal issues. (1)

Description
Diabetes is a chronic (long-term) condition that affects many people, weakens their musculoskeletal system, and keeps them from the quality of life they want. Rethwill Chiropractic Clinic understands this and works with our Eugene diabetic patients who may well come to us for other conditions like back pain and neck pain and find that chiropractic care is beneficial for their health.

25.8 million Americans (8.3% of the population) have diabetes. (2) About two million Canadians suffer from diabetes, 10% of them with Type 1, contributing to 41,000 deaths a year. (3) Staggering statistics, but that’s just the underlying story. The bigger story is the effect diabetes has on each person with diabetes. Healthcare providers of all types are eager to help. Medications are often a fundamental form of care, but diet, exercise, and chiropractic play roles as well. Chiropractic offers benefits to diabetic patients.
Mobility is a concern for diabetics. Eugene diabetic patients wants to keep it, but some diabetics are limited in their mobility. Let’s consider the statistics: Diabetic subjects are more likely to use a mobility aid than control subjects: 7 versus 2% used a wheelchair regularly, 7 vs. 3% a frame, and 33 vs. 26% a walking stick. Generally, 46% of diabetic subjects required the use of some form of mobility aid compared to just 31% of control subjects. (4) Many are overweight or obese, 54% in one study. (5) 22% are physically inactive, 17.4% are smokers, 18% report having hypertension, and 19.6% report high cholesterol. (5) That’s where chiropractic care may become a useful adjunct form of care.

Apples Apples are one of the few fruits that contain pectin, which naturally slows digestion and promotes a feeling of fullness, according to a study in Gastroenterology. In fact, people who ate an apple as part of a meal felt more satiated and ate less than those who consumed a calorically equivalent amount of juice and applesauce.  "Whole apples take a long time to eat for very few calories," says Susan Roberts, professor of nutrition at Tufts University. Your body has more time to tell your brain that you're no longer hungry. That means you can eat lots of this low-energy-density, high-satiety fruit and avoid feeling deprived while losing weight, adds Roberts. Feel even fuller:  Add apple chunks to oatmeal or salad, or slices to a turkey-on-whole-wheat sandwich.

More than 60% who try a cigarette become daily smokers, study says

Image
(CNN) At least three out of five people who experiment with a cigarette end up becoming daily smokers at some point, a new study finds. UK researchers analyzed responses from 215,000 people across eight surveys conducted in the UK, the United States, Australia and New Zealand that were included in the Global Health Data Exchange. Of the responses, just over 60% had ever tried a cigarette, and among those, almost 69% reported that they had gone on to become daily smokers. "This is the first time that the remarkable hold that cigarettes can establish after a single experience has been documented from such a large set of data," said Peter Hajek, professor of clinical psychology and director of the Tobacco Dependence Research Unit at Queen Mary University of London, who led the research. Smokers are 7 times more likely to use marijuana daily, study says "In the development of any addictive behavior, the move from experimentation to daily practice is ...
