How a High Cholesterol Diet can Exacerbate Diabetes

Cholesterol is divided into good and bad types but for those who suffer from type 2 diabetes, they most likely suffer from high levels of bad cholesterol. Fatty foods as part of a high cholesterol diet can easily lead to the development of diabetes and other disorders.

Continuing with a high cholesterol diet after being diagnosed with diabetes is just asking for trouble as it can increase the problems associated with this disease. Cholesterol is necessary for a healthily functioning body but overly high levels of bad cholesterol in the diet can even quicken the speed at which diabetes develops.

Many people consume a high cholesterol diet of fatty foods and are unconsciously leading themselves down the path to diabetes. Diabetes does not go away but like cholesterol can be sufficiently managed with the help of an appropriate diet plan.

Medications can assist in lowering cholesterol and regulating blood sugar but the easiest and most natural plan is to avoid the situation altogether by regularly exercising and eating healthily.

Use A Cholesterol Chart To Evaluate Your Health Risks

Most adults have had their cholesterol levels checked at least once. The results of this simple blood test must be checked against several different cholesterol charts to determine what, if any, steps are necessary to correct readings that are not ideal.

What Does Each Cholesterol Chart Evaluate?

There are four major cholesterol charts used to classify the levels of different types of cholesterol found in your blood. The first chart breaks down total cholesterol into three levels. Blood levels of less than 200mg/dl are considered to be normal, levels of 200-239 mg/dl are considered borderline high and levels of 240 mg/dl or higher are considered high.

The next cholesterol chart deals with bad or LDL cholesterol levels. On this chart there are four levels. LDL cholesterol levels of less than 100 mg/dl are considered normal, levels of 100-129 mg/dl are considered to be near optimal, levels of 130-159 mg/dl are considered borderline high and levels of 160 mg/dl or higher care considered high.
