Around a third of those with type 2 diabetes also suffer arthritis. <\/p>\nAround a third of those with type 2 diabetes also suffer arthritis. <\/p>\n
This is not surprising, as both diseases are rooted in chronic inflammation.<\/p>\n
But according to a new study published in the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,<\/em> having both diseases don\u2019t just double the trouble. It multiplies it and makes it a lot harder to tackle either one disease.<\/p>\n Thankfully, there is one simple thing that can help drastically improve both conditions.<\/p>\n Researchers used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys<\/em> from 2009 to 2016 and examined the prevalence of arthritis among Americans with prediabetes.<\/p>\n They also checked the physical activity levels of people with both these conditions to find out how much of a problem exercise could pose.<\/p>\n This is not just important because people with prediabetes need to exercise, but also because people with arthritis need to exercise to keep their joints functional and to maintain a healthy weight to let their joints carry.<\/p>\n In general, 32% or 26 million Americans with prediabetes also have arthritis.<\/p>\n In people with both these conditions, 56.5% are almost completely physically inactive, and 50.1% of them are obese.<\/p>\n When they took into account those who were mostly inactive and overweight (not just obese), the statistics sounded even worse.<\/p>\n Thus, if you suffer from type-2 diabetes, arthritis or both, and especially if you\u2019re overweight or obese, it\u2019s very important that you start some form of activity as soon as possible.<\/p>\n Light swimming, walking, or biking may not put much strain on your joints but will work wonders in improving your health.<\/p>\n Even better, here are 3-easy steps that completely reverse type 2 diabetes in 28 days or less\u2026<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
