Eräänlainen tieteen uutislehti Knowridge kertoo miten insuliiniresistenssi ja diabetes aiheuttavat kardiovaskulaarisia sairauksia - vaikka puhuukin vain ”riskin kasvattamisesta”.
Jutussa todetaan aivan oikein, että sydäntaudin ehkäisyssä tärkeintä on verensokerin hyvä hallinta.
Edistystä!
Mutta ruokasuosituksissa tyydyttyneen rasvan karttaminen on turha.
Ja kolesterolin merkitystä edelleen ylikorostetaan.
Ja otsikointi meni vihkoon.
Parhaat ruokavaliot verensokerin hallinnan kannalta ovat keto ja VHH. Sen on myöntänyt ADAkin, vaikka toimiikin kuin ei tietäisi. Ketoa tai VHH:ta ei kuitenkaan mainita tässä jutussa, jossa lähteenä näyttäisi olleen ainakin AHA.

Which heart problems increase your diabetes risk?
…
High blood sugar levels cause damage to the blood vessels, making them more susceptible to atherosclerosis (narrowing of the arteries due to plaque build-up). This narrowing blocks the flow of blood to the heart or brain, leading to a heart attack or stroke.
Insulin resistance, a hallmark of type 2 diabetes, is linked to a cluster of cardiovascular risk factors including increased blood pressure, high levels of bad cholesterol (LDL), and low levels of good cholesterol (HDL). Together, these conditions create a perfect storm for cardiovascular diseases.
Inflammation in the body caused by diabetes is another contributor. Research indicates that diabetes triggers an increase in the production of certain inflammatory substances that promote plaque buildup in the arteries.
Managing diabetes and reducing the risk of heart disease involves several strategies. Most importantly, keeping blood sugar levels under control is crucial.
This can be achieved through medication, insulin therapy, and lifestyle changes such as adopting a healthy diet and regular exercise. Monitoring blood pressure and cholesterol levels is also critical, as these are both significant heart disease risk factors.
Diet plays a key role in managing both diabetes and heart disease risks. A heart-healthy diet includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.
It limits foods high in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, salt (sodium), and added sugars. Staying physically active helps manage weight, improves blood glucose control, and strengthens the heart and circulation.
