New Warning Sign for Diabetes Honolulu HI

Add having a fast pulse to the list of things associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Japanese researchers found that people with a resting heart rate of at least 80 beats per minute were more likely to become obese and develop diabetes later in life. To check yours, sit comfortably and place two fingers on your wrist at the base of your thumb (or lightly on your neck, just under the jawbone). Count the beats for 15 seconds, then multiply that number by 4 to get your resting heart rate. "People who don't get regular exercise or are overweight tend to have a faster heart rate," explains John B. Buse, MD, PhD, former president of medicine and science for the American Diabetes Association. Moving more, getting enough sleep, eating a healthy diet (more produce and beans; fewer processed foods) and taking time for relaxation can help you reduce your diabetes risk.
