I'm slim, active and eat well yet I live with 'silent killer' linked to obesity - don't assume you're safe

NICKI Hornby was in what she considered to be decent health.

She was active, ate a relatively healthy diet, and had a BMI in the “healthy” weight category.

So when she started to feel very tired and noticed she looked a little slimmer aged 47, she didn’t think too much of it.

“I felt out of sorts, but I thought I might just be experiencing early menopause,” Nicki said.

What she wasn’t prepared for was being told she had type 2 diabetes.

“I didn’t have any of the typical symptoms like being thirsty or going to the toilet more than usual, so it was very much a surprise when a blood test confirmed my diagnosis,” Nicki, from Somerset, said.

“I’m 5ft 4in and weigh 9st 2lbs (58kg), and I can see people looking at me trying to process that I have type 2 diabetes.

“That’s quite hurtful and impactful.”

Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body doesn’t produce enough insulin, or the body’s cells don’t react to it properly.

You may be at higher risk if you eat unhealthily, have a family history of the condition, take certain medications for a long time, have high blood pressure, or have gestational diabetes during pregnancy.

People of Asian, Black African or African Caribbean origin are also at increased risk, according to the NHS.

But the two main causes of type 2 diabetes are being overweight and a waist size that is too large.

Based on these risk factors, Nicki, who has a BMI of 21.9, was considered ‘safe’.

But no matter how thin or fit you are, and whether you have relatives with it or not, you can still get diabetes, she said.

“The biggest misconception for me is that people assume you’ve caused your diabetes by having an unhealthy lifestyle or by not looking after yourself through drinking and eating too much,” Nicki, now 56, added.

“That isn’t necessarily the case, and it certainly wasn’t the case for me and I’m not alone in that.”

Even nine years on, Nicki, who is married, still finds many people are clueless.

“I still get people saying in surprise, ‘What? You’ve got type 2 diabetes? You can’t possibly have type 2 diabetes’,” she added.

“That’s not just friends or family, it’s also healthcare professionals, so for me that is the biggest stigma.

“We need to move away from that stereotypical vision of what someone with type 2 diabetes looks like.”

Nicki said she used to shy away from telling people about her condition, but now she is incredibly open.

If it can happen to me, it could happen to anybody

Nicki Hornby

“My response to negative experiences has become a bit more forthright and I won’t just shyly say, ‘I’ve got type 2 diabetes’,” she said.

“Instead I strongly say, ‘Yes I’ve got type 2 diabetes, despite having a healthy diet and being active, and I’ve never been overweight nor is there type 2 diabetes in my family’.

“I now explain more about my situation and in my own small way I’m trying to educate people that if it can happen to me, it could happen to anybody.

“As time has gone on, I’ve become more confident in my knowledge about diabetes, because my diagnosis was so out of the blue and it was a steep learning curve for me.

“So I do feel justified in challenging people when they clearly don’t have the right understanding about the condition.”

‘WE’VE BECOME TOO BLASÉ’

An estimated 1.2million people are currently living with type 2 diabetes but are yet to be diagnosed, according to Diabetes UK.

The condition can go undetected for years because its symptoms can be hard to spot or brushed off as something else, meaning it’s often dubbed a ‘silent killer’.

More than 3.2million are thought to be at risk of developing it.

Every week, diabetes leads to 184 amputations, more than 930 strokes, 660 heart attacks and 2,990 cases of heart failure. 

The NHS spends at least £10billion a year on diabetes – about 10 per cent of its entire budget.

Almost 80 per cent of the money goes towards treating complications, and in some hospitals, over a quarter of beds are used by people with diabetes.

Advertisement

In short, diabetes is serious – yet many people don’t think of it as such, according to Nicki.

“I do wonder if diabetes is not being taken seriously enough and we’ve become too blasé about it,” she said.

Type 1 and type 2 diabetes

THERE are two main types of diabetes, which causes a person’s blood sugar level to become too high.

Advertisement

Type 1 diabetes is a lifelong condition where the body’s immune system attacks and destroys the cells that produce the hormone insulin.

It affects around 344,000 people in the UK.

Type 2 diabetes on the other hand is far more common, accounting for more than 90 per cent of the 4.4million adults with diabetes.

It occurs when the body doesn’t produce enough insulin, or the body’s cells don’t react to it properly.

Advertisement

There are no lifestyle changes you can make to lower your risk of type 1 diabetes.

But you may be at higher risk of type 2 diabetes if you are overweight or obese, eat unhealthily, have a family history of the condition, take certain medications for a long time, have high blood pressure, and have gestational diabetes during pregnancy.

People of Asian, Black African or African Caribbean origin are also at increased risk.

An estimated 1.2million people are currently living with type 2 diabetes but are yet to be diagnosed.

More than 3.2million are thought to be at risk of developing the condition.

The most common symptoms are:

  • Needing to wee a lot, especially at night
  • Being really thirsty 
  • Feeling more tired than usual 
  • Losing weight without trying to
  • Genital itching or thrush
  • Cuts and wounds taking longer to heal
  • Blurred vision
  • Increased hunger

“While some people are able to put their type 2 diabetes into remission with the right support, this is not the case for everyone, and it’s not just a case of simply changing your diet.

Advertisement

“Also, people make assumptions about the condition.

“For example, when you’re having a hypo (when blood sugar levels are too low, causing dizziness, confusion and even seizures), people often mistake that for being drunk and so you can easily be misjudged.

“Mentally, it really infuriates me because diabetes is serious.

“I never wanted this condition, but I’ve got to live with it and I do find it really difficult to come to terms with other people’s attitudes about diabetes as if this is something I wished upon myself.

Advertisement

“Coming to terms with my diabetes is an ongoing process that I’m still going through.”

She continued: “I’m no longer as angry as I was, which was my overriding emotion for many years.

“I was angry about the diagnosis, angry about the unfairness of it.

“I still do get resentful about it, but I’m getting better at that.

Advertisement

“However, I do get cross when people judge, and I don’t think that will ever go away.

“People need to know not to make assumptions based on what they think they know about diabetes, as it’s probably incorrect and not as straightforward as some publicity would have them believe.

“We need to educate people more and make sure there’s a better understanding of diabetes and it doesn’t follow that you have to be overweight to have type 2 diabetes.”

How to lower your risk of type 2 diabetes

According to Diabetes UK, there are a few diet tweaks you can make to lower your risk of type 2 diabetes:

  1. Choose drinks without added sugar – skip out the sugar in your tea and coffee and stay away from fizzy and energy drinks
  2. Eat whole grains such as brown rice, wholewheat pasta, wholemeal flour, wholegrain bread and oats instead of refined carbs
  3. Cut down on red and processed meat like bacon, ham, sausages, pork, beef and lamb
  4. Eat plenty of fruit and veg – apples, grapes, berries, and green leafy veg such as spinach, kale, watercress, and rocket have been associated with reduced risk of type 2 diabetes
  5. Have unsweetened yoghurt and cheese
  6. Cut down on booze – and have a few days a week with none at all
  7. Have healthy snacks like unsweetened yoghurt, unsalted nuts, seeds and fruit and veg
  8. Eat healthy fats included in nuts, seeds, avocados and olive oil
  9. Cut down on salt
  10. Get your vitamins and minerals from food instead of tablets

35 Min BUILD & BURN II Home Workout | Drop Set Dumbbell Workout + Cool Down



This 35 minute drop set dumbbell workout is exactly what you need to BUILD muscle and endurance. Strength training with dumbbells is incredibly effective at not only building muscle strength and tone, but the added weight places an extra amount of exertion on you throughout each of the exercises, resulting in more calories burned. This is key for losing body fat.

⚡️ Our Amazon Must-Haves https://www.amazon.com/shop/tiffxdan

Here’s how this workout will go down:
– Each round consists of 3 exercises that are the same or similar movements.
– For most of the workout, the 1st exercise in each round will use x2 dumbbells.
– Drop to x1 dumbbell for the 2nd exercise in the round.
– Drop to bodyweight only for the 3rd exercise in the round.
– Each exercise is 20 sec, so you’ll complete all 3 exercises each round without rest, for a total of 60 seconds, before taking a 30 sec rest.
– There are a few exercises that are the exception to this as we do some unilateral movements, but the 20/20/20 second format will be consistent throughout the workout.

Map reveals area with WORST eating habits as Brits choose to swerve fruit & veg – how does your hometown fare? – The Sun

YORKSHIRE has the worst gut-health habits in the UK – consuming the least fruit and veg, water, nuts, and fermented foods.

But Scots and people in London get closest to five a day, with Londoners also tucking into the most fermented grub.

Londoners also came top for hydration, drinking an average of five glasses of water per day – although not quite matching the recommended guidelines of six to eight 250ml glasses of water.

The poll of 2,000 people has revealed which regions are home to residents with, on average, the best and worst gut health habits.

It also emerged a fifth of those living in Wales reported suffering from bloating a few times per week, whereas 28 per cent in the West Midlands never struggled with it.

Those from the North East are the gassiest, with 26 per cent suffering daily – more than twice as many as those in Scotland (12 per cent).

Advertisement

And Scots are the worst for toilet habits – with 36 per cent saying their poo habits are never consistent.

The study was commissioned by Yakult, which has teamed up with Professor Glenn Gibson from Reading University, who said: “It’s fascinating to see how diets and daily habits vary so much across the UK.

“What contributes to a healthy gut can often be forgotten or misunderstood – as many people just associate this with eating lots of fibre but, in truth, every type of food group plays a part.

Advertisement

“Having regular bowel movements and getting the right amount and quality of sleep are also other things that help maintain a healthy gut and overall lifestyle.

“Getting less than the recommended 7-9 hours of quality sleep not only leaves us tired, but also disrupts our body’s natural rhythm, impacting the bacteria in our gut – this being a very active community of microbes that has profound impacts upon our overall health and wellbeing.

“Disturbances in sleep patterns can adversely affect the gut microbiota, which could hamper digestive health.

The study also found 36 per cent of Brits rate their overall gut health as ‘average’ – with only 11 per cent calling it ‘excellent’.

Advertisement

During a typical day, the average person will consume four portions of fruit or veg, but 44 per cent admit to never eating fermented foods

Only 35 per cent incorporate nuts into their everyday diet, while 28 per cent believe they are not getting enough fibre.

When it comes to liquids, 31 per cent drink less than the recommended daily guidelines of six to eight glasses each day, with the average person consuming just four 250ml glasses of water.

But 35 per cent of those polled via OnePoll.com admit they are guilty of not drinking enough fluids.

Advertisement

It also emerged that 37 per cent hold their hands up to not doing the recommended amount of 30 minutes exercise a day, with 35 per cent claiming they spend long periods either sitting or lying down.

Glenn added: “Eating a healthy diet which includes lots of colourful plant-foods such as fruits, vegetables, wholegrains, beans, chickpeas, lentils, herbs and spices helps to improve gut microbiota – which is in turn essential for supporting good gut (and overall) health.

“It is also worth adding fermented foods into your diet as well as keeping hydrated as water is essential and will improve almost every bodily process including digestion.

“Enough water intake is crucial to help food move effectively through the digestive system, helping to prevent constipation and facilitate nutrient availability.

Advertisement

 “Exercise can help stimulate the digestive system – promoting more efficient digestion and help alleviate symptoms like bloating and constipation.

“Just 30 minutes a day is needed and can be incorporated into your everyday routine such as walking, cleaning or gardening.”

When quizzed on toilet habits, morning is the most common time for bowel movements (56 per cent), with half claiming it ‘always runs like clockwork’.

And the average time spent in the bathroom at any one time is six minutes – which is well within the recommended timeframe of 10 to 15 minutes per sitting.

Advertisement

A Yakult spokesperson said: “Maintaining good gut health is essential to overall well-being, as it impacts everything from digestion and nutrient absorption to immune function and even mental health.

“By focusing on a diet rich in fibre, fermented foods, and hydration, people can support their gut microbiome and enjoy better energy, mood, and long-term health.

“We are encouraging the nation to make small changes which can have a powerful influence on gut health and overall wellbeing.”
