Exercise and physical activity are deemed essential for people with diabetes, as it helps control sugar levels in the body.

However, not all types of exercise are recommended, because some movements will actually worsen the patient's condition.

Indonesian Endocrinology Association (PERKENI) chairman Ketut Suastika told tempo.co that one type of exercise that was not recommended was anaerobic or heavy physical activity. Examples of such activity are weightlifting, jump rope and push-ups.

According to Ketut, these activities can create oxidative stress in the body, which will increase blood sugar levels and can eventually complicate a patient's health disorder.

"Take the example of lifting weights. If done by diabetic patients with diabetic retinopathy or retinal disorders in the eye, it can accelerate blindness," he said during a recent event in Jakarta.

The recommended exercise is the opposite, namely aerobics, which can help control blood sugar levels.

Examples of such physical activity are walking and jogging.

Ketut recommends exercising for 30 minutes a day.

"At least 150 minutes per week. So, if you skip two days at the weekend, it's still okay. This is a method that is really effective for [keeping in check] your diabetes," he said.

Local celebrity Michelle Chong and her father Steven, better known as Papa Chong, know what it is like to deal with diabetes and heart disease.

Mr Chong, 71, was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes 30 years ago and also had to undergo a triple bypass surgery.

Chong, 41, was by her father's side through it all.

The World Heart Federation reported earlier this year that people with diabetes are two to four times more likely to develop heart disease, and half the heart attack victims in Singapore have diabetes.

The duo are ambassadors of For Your Sweetheart, a nationwide campaign that aims to raise awareness of the critical link between these two conditions. It is helmed by Diabetes Singapore, Singapore Heart Foundation and Boehringer Ingelheim, a pharmaceutical company.


Today is my public appearance as the ambassador for the 'For Your Sweetheart' campaign.

They were at the Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre yesterday for an event organised by Diabetes Singapore to commemorate World Diabetes Day on Wednesday.

Chong told The New Paper: "I was doing my A levels at the time when his heart disease developed to the point where he had to have a triple bypass surgery.

"It was very shocking when I went to visit him in the hospital after he had his triple bypass surgery, to see him all tubed up and vulnerable."

Bypass surgery is done when arteries that supply blood to the heart are damaged. A triple bypass is required when three arteries are blocked or damaged.

Mr Chong still has diabetes.

He said: "When I was working, I used to eat a lot of outside food. I could eat four roti pratas at one go."

After he was diagnosed with diabetes, his family has been watching over him to ensure he does not consume too much of sugary or oily foods.

They also stay active together by doing brisk walks and playing table tennis.

Said the actress: "His condition has definitely brought us closer together because I am always involved in his lifestyle choices. This has also taught all of us siblings that we need to take care of our parents' health and our own health."

Mr Chong also shared his personal experience with diabetes and heart disease, and how family support is important for patients with diabetes.

His daughter talked about her perspective as a family member of someone who has diabetes and heart disease.

Said Mr Chong: "For someone living with diabetes, the support of the family is very important in making sure that the condition is managed well. Don't be scared to rely on your family to help you."

CONNECTION
Dr Mohd Azhar Ahmad, 46, head of the medical department at Boehringer Ingelheim Malaysia and Singapore, explained the connection between diabetes and heart disease.

He said: "Over time, uncontrolled high blood sugar can damage blood vessels and nerves leading to the heart. This can raise blood pressure levels."

He added that having diabetes can also increase levels of cholesterol.

"All these factors combined increase the risk for heart disease in diabetic patients," said Dr Azhar.

This follows Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's National Day Rally speech on Sunday, where he encouraged Singaporeans to make the switch from white rice.

FairPrice, the largest supermarket chain here, announced on Sunday discounts of at least 10 per cent on eight healthier rice products, including unpolished red and brown rice from its house brand, until next Wednesday.

Sheng Siong is offering a 10 per cent discount on alternative rice products from its house brand Royal Golden Grain, among others, across its stores until the end of the month, it said on Monday.

White rice is deemed to be less healthy than other types of rice. Starchy white rice can lead to a spike in blood sugar after consumption. This heightens one's risk of diabetes, which one in nine Singaporeans suffers from.

Mr Lee said on Sunday: "White rice may not taste sweet, but the effect is almost like eating sugar, and when you eat white rice, your blood sugar will shoot up."

FairPrice hopes to encourage Singaporeans to switch to healthier rice by moderating their prices.


Other than wholegrain foods like wholemeal bread and brown rice, foods that fall into these category include vegetables, beans and legumes.

A Sheng Siong spokesman said the discount is to "support our Government's call to fight against diabetes", by encouraging customers to include brown rice as part of their staple diet.

Thai brown unpolished rice (2.5kg) from Fairprice's house brand costs $4.50, after an 18 per cent discount.

Sheng Siong's Royal Golden Grain Red Brown Rice (5kg) is now $10.70. A similar pack of Royal Golden Grain Premium Fragrant Rice, a comparable white rice variety, costs $11.80.

FairPrice is offering a discount of at least 10 per cent on eight such products, to moderate the cost of healthier food alternatives, the retailer said in a statement. These range from brown, red, organic and low glycaemic index (GI) rice, such as the FairPrice house brands of brown unpolished rice, red unpolished rice and Thai blend rice.
Discounts will also be offered on products from other brands, including Golden Phoenix germinated jasmine rice, Bamboo Hill organic brown fragrant rice and Kangaroo low GI rice.
Speaking to TODAY, FairPrice chief executive officer Seah Kian Peng said it has already teamed up with the Health Promotion Board to be part of the latter’s three-month-long Eat, Drink, Shop Healthy Challenge. Using the Healthy 365 app, consumers can scan the QR code on receipts after buying healthy items to earn points, which can be redeemed for supermarket and food and beverage vouchers. [2]

Can long naps cause diabetes?

By Agence France-Presse, AFP, Thursday, 15 September 2016


A study presented at a scientific congress Thursday reported a link between long naps and a higher risk of diabetes, though it couldn't say if daytime sleeping was a symptom or a cause.

"It can falsely appear that their illness followed increased napping, rather than the other way around," said Benjamin Cairns, a researcher at the Cancer Epidemiology Unit of the University of Oxford.

PARIS - A study presented at a scientific congress Thursday reported a link between long naps and a higher risk of diabetes, though it couldn't say if daytime sleeping was a symptom or a cause.

People who slept more than an hour each day were 45 per cent more likely to develop type 2 diabetes, a debilitating condition associated with overweight and a sedentary lifestyle, the study found.

Individuals with diabetes are unable to naturally regulate their blood sugar levels.

Without treatment, the disease can lead to blindness, nerve damage, kidney failure, heart disease and premature death.

The meta-analysis - a review of existing scientific literature - by Yamada Tomahide of the University of Tokyo and colleagues, covered more than 300,000 people of Asian and European origin from around the world.

For naps of less than forty minutes, the link with diabetes disappeared, they noted.

Experts not involved in the research noted that the statistical correlation revealed nothing about cause-and-effect.

The study, they added, has yet to be published in a peer-reviewed science journal.

"It can falsely appear that their illness followed increased napping, rather than the other way around," said Benjamin Cairns, a researcher at the Cancer Epidemiology Unit of the University of Oxford.

"This could mean that long naps appear to cause diabetes or other diseases, even when only the reverse is true." Naveed Sattar, an expert on metabolic disease at the University of Glasgow said the results should be taken with a generous pinch of salt.

"It's likely that risk factors which lead to diabetes also cause napping," he wrote in a comment distributed by the non-profit Science Media Centre.

Only clinical trials - experiments in which scientists could test the impact of napping by comparing two or more groups of people - can reveal whether too much day-time sleeping is bad for health.

"Without proper trials, we simply will never know the answer," Sattar said.

The study was unveiled at a meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes in Munich, Germany.


Having an HOUR'S nap during the day can increase your risk of diabetes by 45%.
