1. Type 2 diabetes has the ability to cause damage to the
body at any age. But seniors are at a much higher risk than
any other age group. The incidence of Type 2 diabetes in
seniors is higher for several reasons even when the senior
person is not obese or really sedentary. It is really
important for seniors to know the rules for diabetes in
young people do not always apply to them.

2. Firstly, who is classed as a senior? I think its fair to say the
starting point is at the age of 65. A recent study has
revealed approximately 12 per cent of the senior
population have diabetes? And there are more seniors
who are pre-diabetic and don't even have a clue they are
having issues with higher than usual blood sugar. They
think their lethargy, failing eyesight and more, is relevant
to aging.

3. One of the most common ways diabetes or to be
precise, high blood sugar levels, can affect seniors is
through hearing loss. Losing some of your hearing as you
age is quite normal, but losing too much can be diabetes-
related. How much is too much? Only your doctor can tell
you for sure.

4. Seniors with Type 2 diabetes have the eye problems that
come along with diabetes, it's just the eye problems come
on earlier. One of the biggest problems is as many as one-
third of the senior population never have an eye
examination so how can the disease be found early
enough to treat?

5. As we age, our bodies change the way they absorb and
process vitamins, nutrients, minerals and other
components. Supplements are a good way to bridge the
gap, but they aren't the perfect solution. Nothing beats
getting what you need from healthy foods. That's another
reason why seniors should sit down with their doctor, and
a dietitian, and go over their diet and what their bodies
are lacking. Blood-work might even be necessary in order
to gain a good perspective.

6. Having the right blood glucose meter is always essential
for a diabetic, no matter what their age. That's why
manufacturers make meters geared strictly for seniors...
they have specific features and easy-to-read displays.
Another great feature is the meter has the ability to store
readings and even download readings into reports which
can be forwarded right to your doctor.

7. After age forty, men can lose as much as 8 percent of their
muscle mass every ten years. The way to combat this is
through exercise. While exercise is important for young
people, it is imperative for seniors. Maintaining muscle
not only helps protect against injuries during falls, but the
increased muscle mass:

8. helps to increase energy,

9. help boost the immune system, and

10. utilize sugar more efficiently, while burning fat.

11. In diabetes, exercise acts like insulin. The cells in the
muscles being worked open up wide, in order to help the
insulin convert the free-flowing sugar in the bloodstream
into useful energy to be burned by your busy cells. So
exercise lowers your blood sugar level without you
needing to add more anti-diabetic medications to your
regimen.

12. No one likes to go to the doctor but as you age, it becomes
more and more important. The immune system becomes
less effective and as organs age, they lose a little of their
ability. It's important the organs related to, and affected
by, diabetes are being closely monitored. Guess what, that
is all your body's organs.

13. If you are scheduled to go to your doctor on a routine
basis, then make sure you keep your appointments. If you
miss one, make it up quickly. Missing appointments not
only means keeping your doctor in the dark about your
condition, but it keeps you in the dark also. This also
means you have no idea of the "real" condition of your
body and how unstable blood sugar is affecting your
whole body.

14. You might feel fine, but your doctor can tell you for sure if
there are any new developments you need to be focused
on.
