High Cholesterol in Diabetes (Diabetic Hyperlipidemia)



Hyperlipidaemia may can develop many complications in the body such as heart diseases and diabetes. Hyperlipidaemia is a main reason of diabetes in the diabetic persons. To avoid from suffering from diabetes, every body must keep his cholesterol level normal. To provide awareness about this matter, the article is written.




Mostly the physicians prescribe the medicines for diabetic persons to keep the cholesterol level low in the body. They give the reason that high cholesterol level is very harmful and cause of various complications in diabetic persons. So, keeping the cholesterol level low in the body for diabetic persons is very important. This is the reason, we are providing some knowledge about Diabetic .


High Cholesterol When You Have Diabetes

What is Hyperlipidemiaa

Diabetic hyperlipidemia sounds a bit intimidating, doesn’t it?  As we always do here on Endocrine Web, we’re going to break down that concept for you, and that’s why we’ve put together this Patients’ Guide to Treating High Cholesterol and Diabetes.

Diabetic hyperlipidemia is, in fact, having high cholesterol when you have diabetes.  The parts of the word hyperlipidemia break into:

hyper:  high
lipid: scientific term referring to fat, cholesterol, and fat-like substances in the body
emia:  in the blood

So all together, hyperlipidemia means that you have too many lipids, especially cholesterol, in your blood.  High cholesterol is dangerous for anyone, but as someone with type 2 diabetes, it’s particularly important that you get treatment for high cholesterol.

You’re probably aware that diabetes can come with a host of complications—if you don’t take good care of our blood glucose levels and overall health.  Cardiovascular complications are common in people with type 2 diabetes, and high cholesterol can also harm your cardiovascular health.

Taking care of your high cholesterol will help lower your cardiovascular risk, so in this Patients’ Guide to Treating High Cholesterol and Diabetes, we’ll be covering:

How does diabetes affect your cardiovascular health?

high cholesterol risk factors:  Should you be concerned about getting high cholesterol?
high cholesterol treatments when you have diabetes:  There are medications you can take to help bring down your cholesterol numbers.  Also, lifestyle changes are important.
eating well to manage cholesterol and diabetes:  This lifestyle change is so important that it got its own article.  Eating well when you have high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes is essential.  Learn what to eat and what to limit in order to take better care of your body.
Of course, if you’re concerned about your cholesterol levels and you have type 2 diabetes, talk to your doctor.  He or she will be able to answer any questions you have, as well as check your cholesterol levels and develop a treatment plan if necessary.


Cholesterol Basics

Good Cholesterol, Bad Cholesterol: What’s It All Mean for You?   
Before we get too far into hyperlipidemia—high cholesterol in the blood—we should have a grounding in what cholesterol is and what it does.  Cholesterol is a fat-like substance (often, it’s referred to as “waxy”) that’s used by your body to make vitamin D, hormones, and substances that aid in digestion.  It is necessary for your body to function properly.

Your body actually makes most of the cholesterol you need, although you do get some of it from what you eat.  Cholesterol is made in the liver.

You have two kinds of cholesterol, and you’ve probably heard of these before:  “good” cholesterol and “bad” cholesterol.

Both kinds of cholesterol travel through your blood as lipoproteins:  you can think of them as little packages being sent around your body.  On the inside of the package, there are fats (the cholesterol) and on the outside, there are proteins.

But which kind of cholesterol is good and which is bad—and why does it matter?

Good Cholesterol

High-density lipoproteins (HDL) are the “good” cholesterol.  These little packages are more dense, and part of their job is to escort cholesterol from other parts of your body back to your liver—where it’s then removed.

HDL cholesterol is good, then, because it gets the cholesterol out of the bloodstream (too much cholesterol in the blood in hyperlipidemia, remember).  Once the cholesterol is back in the liver, it’s broken down and removed from your body.

You should have a high level of HDL, the “good” cholesterol.

Bad Cholesterol

Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) are the “bad” cholesterol.  These carry cholesterol from your liver to other cells in your body—and therein lies the problem.  LDL can carry too much cholesterol (more than is needed by the cells), and then cholesterol will build up in the blood.

Built-up LDL can start to cause blockages in arteries by forming plaque, which restricts blood flow.

You should have a low level of LDL, the “bad” cholesterol.

And Don’t Forget about Triglycerides
Triglycerides are part of your overall lipid profile—how much fat is in your blood.  Any calories your body doesn’t use right away from food are converted into triglycerides, which are stored in fat cells and used later.

When taking into account your overall cardiovascular health, triglycerides are important.

Optimal Cholesterol Numbers
As someone with diabetes, you should carefully monitor your lipid profile.  (Really, everyone should, but it’s especially important if you have diabetes.)

According to the American Heart Association1, your levels should be:

Total Cholesterol:  Less than 200 mg/dL
HDL (Good) Cholesterol:  Higher than 40 mg/dL for men and higher than 50 mg/dL in women is very good, but if your HDL level is 60 mg/dL or higher, your risk of heart disease will be significantly lower.
LDL (Bad) Cholesterol:  Less than 100 mg/dL
Triglycerides: Less than 150 mg/dL

How Often Should You Have Your Cholesterol Tested?

The National Cholesterol Education Program recommends that everyone aged 20 and older should have a fasting lipoprotein profile (lipid profile) done every 5 years2.  Your doctor may recommend a different timeline, given your health and history.

This is a fasting test, as the name suggests:  you need to go 9 to 12 hours without food, liquids, or pills before the test.

Cholesterol Is Important to Your Health
As you can see, cholesterol—and having healthy cholesterol levels—is important to your overall health, especially when you have diabetes and want to avoid cardiovascular complications.


Diabetes and Cardiovascular Risk
How Does Diabetes Affect Your Heart Health?



As you’re most likely aware, if you don’t take good care of your type 2 diabetes, you can develop several complications, including heart disease.  We don’t say that to frighten you or to make you focus on the negative aspects of type 2 diabetes:  it’s simply that cardiovascular complications are possible when you have diabetes, but there are ways that you can work to prevent them.

Cholesterol plays a big part in cardiovascular disease, so when you have diabetes, you need to be particularly vigilant about your cholesterol numbers.  Taking good care of your heart is part of taking good care of your diabetes.

Cardiovascular Complications with Diabetes 

Cardiovascular complications are possible long-term macrovascular complications of diabetes, and these complications include heart attacks and strokes.

Routinely high blood glucose levels can cause damage to your blood vessels.  Therefore, if you don’t have good control of your blood glucose levels on a daily basis—if you regularly swing high and low—then you could be creating long-lasting heart problems.

Again, that’s not said to frighten you—but to help you realize the important of monitoring your blood glucose levels and working hard to keep them in your goal ranges.  Talk to your doctor about your goal ranges and how you can improve your blood glucose levels on a daily basis.

Where Does Cholesterol Come Into Play in Cardiovascular Disease?

Having high levels of bad cholesterol (LDL cholesterol—if you’re not sure what that is, please review our cholesterol basics article) in your blood can lead to artherosclerosis.  That’s a condition when plaque builds up in your artery walls, which essentially narrows them and makes it more difficult for blood to flow through.

LDL cholesterol forms plaque, so it stands to reason that the more LDL cholesterol you have in your blood, the more plaque you’re likely to create.

Eventually, if enough plaque builds up, it can cause a blood clot, leading to a heart attack or a stroke.

Controlling Cholesterol and Blood Glucose Levels for Heart Health
When you have type 2 diabetes and you have high cholesterol, it’s like you have a double-whammy of cardiovascular risk.  Poorly controlled blood glucose levels can harm your heart health, as can hyperlipidemia. 

If you have type 2 diabetes, you need to be especially attentive to 2 kinds of numbers:  your blood glucose numbers (and related to that, your A1c numbers) and your cholesterol numbers.  Keeping both numbers under control will help reduce your cardiovascular risk.

Salads Contents                

Salads provide fiber, antioxidants and minerals.

Salads composed from even a few ingredients make a nutrient-rich meal. The greens alone have calcium, iron, potassium and B vitamins. Many salad basics, including tomatoes, sweet peppers and the greens, are chock-full of antioxidants. Add high fiber and low calories into the mix and you can't go wrong including a salad in your daily diet.

Fiber
Eating enough fiber earlier in life lowers the risk of developing heart disease later in life, according to researchers at Northwestern University. Vegetables in salads are good sources of insoluble fiber, which keeps your digestive tract healthy. If you add nuts, seeds or beans to the salad, you’ll get a boost of soluble fiber that helps lower cholesterol and keeps blood sugar balanced. Men should get 38 grams and women need 25 grams of fiber in their daily diet. One cup of iceberg lettuce with one-half carrot and one-quarter of a red pepper provides 7 percent of men’s and 10 percent of women’s daily fiber intake.

Antioxidants
Many salad ingredients contain vitamin C and vitamin A in the form of antioxidant carotenoids. In addition to 7 milligrams of vitamin C, 1 cup of spinach has 93 percent and green leaf lettuce has 88 percent of the recommended daily intake of vitamin A. Add half of a medium-sized carrot and you'll gain more than 100 percent of your daily vitamin A. Vegetables that have a better mix of both antioxidants include sweet red peppers, tomatoes and broccoli. Sweet red peppers are an especially good choice. One-half cup provides 77 percent of the daily intake of vitamin A and 158 percent of vitamin C.

Protein

Getting a regular supply of protein is essential because your body doesn't store it. Leafy greens make the perfect platform for ingredients that turn a salad into a rich source of protein. Choose low-fat cheese and lean meat such as chicken or turkey, but watch the portion sizes so the calories don't add up. You can count on an average of 20 grams of protein in a 3-ounce serving of meat or poultry. One-half cup of beans or a 1-ounce serving of nuts or seeds adds about 5 to 10 grams of protein.

Dressings
One tablespoon of vegetable oil has about 120 calories, but as long as you watch the serving size, salad dressings have nutritional benefits. Your body needs some dietary fat to properly absorb vitamins A, E and K, so vegetable oil helps you get the most nutrients from your salad. One tablespoon of vegetable oil has about 14 grams of fat, but it has little saturated fat and no cholesterol. Instead, vegetable oil provides healthy unsaturated fats that lower cholesterol. If you use canola, olive, soybean, flaxseed or walnut oil, you'll also gain omega-3 fatty acids.

RADISH NUTRITION FACTS

Radish is rich in folic acid, Vitamin C and anthocyanins. These nutrients make it a very effective cancer-fighting food. It is said that radish is effective in fighting oral cancer, colon cancer and intestinal cancer as well as kidney and stomach cancers.

Radishes contain Vitamin C, zinc, B-complex vitamins and phosphorus. All of these are very effective in treating skin disorders such as rashes and dry skin. Mashed raw radish can be used as a soothing and refreshing face pack. Dieters can benefit greatly from radishes, as they are low in calories, cholesterol and fat. They also contain a lot of roughage and contain a lot of water. Because of its high roughage content, it is also very useful in treating both piles and constipation. Radish juice helps to soothe the digestive system and detoxify the body.

The sharp, pungent flavor of radish comes from "isothiocyanate" compound in them, which ranges from mild in case of white-icicles to very hot in red globe and other pigmented varieties. The top greens are also eaten as leafy-greens in some parts of the world

White Radish



Radish, the well known part of your salad, is a root crop, pungent or sweet in taste with a lot of juice. Radishes can be white, red, purple or black, long cylindrical or round in shape. They are eaten raw, cooked or pickled. The other parts of radish which are consumed are the leaves, 
Radish is also known as Daiken in some parts of the world.

Health Benefits of Radish

Jaundice: Radish is very good for the liver and the stomach and it is a very good detoxifier too, that is, it purifies blood. It is miraculously useful in jaundice as it helps removing bilirubin and also checks its production. It also checks destruction of red blood cells during jaundice by increasing supply of fresh oxygen in the blood. The black radish is more preferred in jaundice. The leaves of radish are also very useful in treatment of jaundice.

Constipation: Radishes are very high in fiber, which means that they add considerable bulk to bowel movements, which promotes regular excretory patterns and relieve symptoms of constipation. They can also help to firm up loose bowels and get rid of loose stool or diarrhea. Furthermore, radishes are known to promote the production of bile. Bile is one of the most important parts of good digestion, and also helps to protect both the liver and the gallbladder.

Cancer: Since radishes are detoxifiers and are rich in vitamin-C, folic and anthocyanins, they have been connected to treating many types of cancer, particularly colon, kidney, intestinal, stomach and oral cancer. Radishes are part of the Brassica family, and like the other members of that taxonomic classification, these cruciferous vegetables are packed with antioxidants. Furthermore, the isthiocyanates found in radishes have a major impact on the genetic pathways of cancerous cells. They alter the pathways so much, in fact, that they can cause apoptosis, cell death, thereby eliminating cancerous cells from reproducing.

Liver & Gallbladder: Radishes are especially beneficial for liver and gallbladder functions. They regulate production and flow of bile and bilirubin, acids, and enzymes. Furthermore, it also removes excess bilirubin from the blood, and it contains enzymes like myrosinase, diastase, amylase and est erase. Regular consumption of radishes protects your liver and gallbladder from infections and ulcers.

Vitamin-C and Immune System HealthThere are countless reasons why radishes are a good addition to your diet, but improving your immune system is one of the most important. A half cup of radishes per day in a salad or just as a snack is nearly 15% of your daily intake of Vitamin-C. Consistently maxing out your daily dose of Vitamin-C intake can rejuvenate your immune system by replacing many of the antioxidants and white blood cells which are so integral in fighting off every illness from the common cold to cancer!


Carrot





Carrots are perhaps best known for their rich supply of the antioxidant nutrient that was actually named for them: beta-carotene. However, these delicious root vegetables are the source not only of beta-carotene, but also of a wide variety of antioxidants and other health-supporting nutrients. The areas of antioxidant benefits, cardiovascular benefits, and anti-cancer benefits are the best-researched areas of health research with respect to dietary intake of carrots.

Carrots nutrition facts


Carrots are a vitamin-rich root vegetable. You can find carrots in a variety of colors besides traditional orange, including yellow, red and purple. Carrots can be enjoyed raw or cooked or in juices and smoothies. This nutritious vegetable provides many health benefits.


Vitamin A
One medium carrot contains 204 percent of your daily recommended value of vitamin A, a vitamin found in animal and plant-based foods. In plant-based foods, this vitamin is produced by your body from the nutritional compound beta-carotene. This vitamin, also known as retinol, is responsible for maintaining the health of your eyes. Vitamin A helps your eyes retain their ability to adjust to changes in light and maintains necessary moisture and mucus levels of your eyes.

Vitamins K and C
Carrots are also a good source of vitamins K and C. Vitamin K maintains your blood's ability to clot. It also contributes to bone strength and kidney health. One medium carrot contains 8 mcg of vitamin K. One medium carrot also contains 6 percent of your daily value of vitamin C, which is associated with a healthy immune system and strong teeth and gums. Vitamin C can also help your body absorb iron from plant foods and can help combat free radicals.

Antioxidant Benefits

All varieties of carrots contain valuable amounts of antioxidant nutrients. Included here are traditional antioxidants like vitamin C, as well as phytonutrient antioxidants like beta-carotene. The list of carrot phytonutrient antioxidants is by no means limited to beta-carotene, however. This list includes:

Carotenoids
alpha-carotene
beta-carotene
lutein
Hydroxycinnamic acids
caffeic acid
coumaric acid
ferulic acid
Anthocyanindins
cyanidins
malvidins

Different varieties of carrots contain differing amounts of these antioxidant phytonutrients. Red and purple carrots, for example, are best known for the rich anthocyanin content. Oranges are particularly outstanding in terms of beta-carotene, which accounts for 65% of their total carotenoid content. In yellow carrots, 50% of the total carotenoids come from lutein. You're going to receive outstanding antioxidant benefits from each of these carrot varieties!

Carrot Health Benefits
