Diabetes is a condition that affects more than 16 million Americans, of whom nearly one-third have yet to be diagnosed.
The Tai Chi for Arthritis program is created by Dr Paul Lam, a family physician in Sydney, Australia with a team of medical & Tai Chi experts.
Type 1 diabetes is a condition in which the blood sugar levels are elevated because there is no production of insulin by the pancreas.
People with this type of diabetes typically do not need to take insulin (although some with type 2 diabetes will require insulin to control their glucose). This form of diabetes accounts for around 95% of people who have diabetes.
As in all cases of diabetes, those with type 2 have elevated blood glucose levels. However, unlike those with type 1, these people can produce insulin.
The answer lies in understanding how your body reacts to both diet & exercise & finding the practical solutions that allow you to enjoy your life & your health.
In most cases, exercise plays a pivotal role in diabetes prevention & is paramount in the treatment of this condition. But most important, exercise can play a major role in preventing complications associated with diabetes that can hinder your ability to thrive in your life.
Gentle exercises and diet have been shown by many scientific studies to prevent Diabetes. Tai chi is a gentle exercise with strong emphasis on mental relaxation, it is reasonable to assume Tai Chi can help to prevent diabetes, improve cellular uptakes and glucose metabolism.
There are two other attributes of Tai Chi that are especially helpful to people with diabetes. Stress is shown to make the control of diabetes worse and relaxation is especially beneficial. It is well established that tai chi reduces stress and improves relaxation.
The major problems of diabetes are complications such as hypertension, heart disease, visual impairment and vascular problem.
Studies have shown that Tai Chi improves cardiorespiratory function, hypertension, muscular strength, flexibility and cholesterol level, these in turn minimize complication of diabetes.
Diabetes causes peripheral neuropathy, a condition that the nerves of feet are damaged thus affects balance and walking. Tai chi has been proven to be effective in improving balance and mobility.
Learning the program makes most people feel good about themselves. Since every individual is unique, you should consult your health professionals before you start.
The program is designed to be adapted safely by people with any type of diabetes in conjunction with health professional's advice.
In a first study, the investigators sought to analyze the impact of a 12 week Tai Chi Chuan exercise program on helper T cell activity in 30 patients with type 2 diabetes, and contrast this with 30 healthy people of the same age.
After 12 weeks in the exercise program, the levels of glycated hemoglobin levels fell significantly, from 7.59% to 7.16% in diabetic patients, a significant difference.
A second study in the same issue, investigators focused on adults with metabolic syndrome. A 12 week program of Tai Chi and Qigong was administered to 13 patients with metabolic syndrome for up to 1.5 hours up to 3 times a week, while being encouraged to perform the exercises outside of the classes.
At the end of 12 weeks, they had lost an average of 3 kg in weight and had dropped waist size by almost 3 cm. Additionally, the blood pressures of the subjects fell significantly more than exercise alone can account for, according to the authors. Insulin resistance also fell, indicating a decreased predisposition for type 2 diabetes.
