Dangers of Alcohol and Type 2 Diabetes

[Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, MDs] Dangers of Alcohol and Type 2 Diabetes By Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, MDs The 2013 movie "Blood Pressure" is a chilling tale of a 41-year-old woman who puts her life in danger because she is thirsty for release from her everyday existence. There's a lesson in there for anyone with Type 2 diabetes who's thirsty for a couple of drinks of alcohol a day. It may feel like it releases you from everyday stresses — but in truth, it just amps up your risk for high blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke. A study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association looked at the relationship between Type 2 diabetes, moderate alcohol consumption, and high blood pressure. Special: [Do This Immediately if You Have Diabetes]( Using data on 10,000 participants in the four-year-long Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes study, the researchers discovered that light drinking (one to seven drinks a week) was not associated with elevated blood pressure. But moderate drinking (eight to 14 weekly) upped the risk for elevated blood pressure (between 120/80 mmHg and 129/<80 mmHg) by 79%, and for diagnosed high blood pressure by 66%. They also saw that heavy drinking (15+ weekly) increases the odds of elevated blood pressure by 91%, and the risk of severe high blood pressure by 204%. Heart disease is the number one complication of Type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure is a major contributor to diabetes complications such as retinopathy, kidney problems, and stroke. If you have prediabetes or Type 2 diabetes, it makes all kinds of sense to make sure your alcohol intake is on the low, low end of light drinking. --------------------------------------------------------------- Special Message --------------------------------------------------------------- [New No-Exercise ‘Skinny Pill’ Melts Belly Fat]( [{READ MORE}]( HOT TOPICS TODAY [Men, Eat This...
