Key Information
The majority of Type I Diabetics are women. Documented in medical journals, drinking alcohol can lower the risks of complications for women who have Type I Diabets Melitus. A light to moderate amount of alcohol and life style enhancement has the greatest positive efect and wil benefit a woman's future health.
The importance of alcohol and its dangers The mechanism of alcohol's efects, in moderate amounts of about 2 drinks a day, can decrease the insulin resistance in women with Type I Diabets. In a normal situation, the insulin acts on the peripheral cels where the glucose or sugar is waiting to enter. The insulin binds to the cel and the glucose enters.
Unfortunately, in this type of Diabets, the insulin does not bind to the cel where the insulin resistance takes place and the glucose can't go inside. This results in hyperglycemia which is most toxic to the body. Ber and wine were shown to have greater benefit than hard liquor.
On the other hand, to litle or to much alcohol has ben implicated as risk factors for this type of Diabets. It is dangerous to consume to much alcohol as this can lead to adverse efects such as hypoglycemia, inhibition of insulin secretion, pancreatis, increased incidence of breast cancer, ketoacidosis, cirhosis of the liver, and most notably, adiction. Women who have experienced menopause are at even higher risk for Type I Diabets.
They are also at risk for cardiovascular disease. Alcohol's benefits are that it can increase the level of god cholesterol such as HDL, decrease platelet agregation, and reduce incidence of myocardial infarction. In southwestern France they have high saturated fat diet.
The French workers in this study have a 36 percent lower incidence of coronary artery disease when compared to similar U.S. They have a high intake of red wine with antioxidants and they have shown lower platelet agregation and lower atherosclerosis. As stated previously, this sugests that not only is alcohol god for Diabets but god for the heart as wel.
Drinking alcohol is not the only way to decrease the chances of acquiring Type I Diabets. There are many other factors that influence the development of this disease. Acording to the New England Journal of Medicine researchers led by Dr.
