Belly Fat Linked to Type-2 Diabetes

healthdoc asked:


90% of type-2 diabetes cases develop after significant fat is gained in the omentum located in the abdomen. This creates insulin resistance effectively ‘gumming-up’ pores in body cells preventing sugar from being absorbed from the blood. As blood sugars rise the pancreas works harder by making more insulin. Years of stress and overwork causes the pancreas to fail prematurely leading to insulin fatigue and diabetes.

diabetes

Question by ?Angel Eyez?: What are the warning signs of gestational diabetes?
I am 27 weeks pregnant, I go in for my glucose test in 3 weeks. I was just wondering if there are any warning signs that I may have gestational diabetes. This is my second pregnancy, I didn’t have any problems with my first pregnancy nor do I have a history of diabetes or high blood pressure or anything like that. I have just been feeling really sick the past few days. Every time I eat I feel very nauseous and sometimes even have stomach pain. Does anyone know if this is normal? Thanks.

Best answer:

Answer by ainawgsd
The warning signs of gestational diabetes are the same as the warning signs of other forms of diabetes. Most commonly people are going to notice significantly increased thirst and urination. As far as I know, stomach pain and nausea after eating are not signs of diabetes.
