The pharmacist, who boasts over 35 years of experience, believes there can be a natural approach to improving health conditions. With prediabetes affecting more than 15million people in the UK alone, Graham has highlighted the red flags which could be a sign of high-risk diabetes. Graham, who is the founder of ProLongevity, which is a health and weight loss platform, says your overall health is about what is “going on inside your body.” His service aims to prevent type 2 diabetes by monitoring blood sugar and also supports patients with general advice.

Waist-to-height ratio

Forget the traditional Body Mass Index (BMI) measurements, according to Graham a much more meaningful measure of health is the waist-to-height ratio. “If your waist circumference is more than half your height, you could be at risk of diabetes,” he said.

Overweight but constantly hungry

Graham said: “When insulin levels are high, your body effectively locks away fat stores, making it difficult to access them. This can lead to a situation where individuals gain ever more weight while simultaneously feeling hungrier than ever before.” Graham emphasised the importance of paying attention to these warning signs and taking proactive steps towards a healthier lifestyle.

He said: “Spotting these warning signs early and acting upon them now can make a significant difference in halting diabetes in its tracks and extending overall life expectancy. In terms of overall health, what actually matters isn’t how you look on the outside, it’s about what’s going on inside your body. This is absolutely unique to each individual and is exactly the basis on which we should provide diet and lifestyle advice. At ProLongevity, we monitor and analyse an individual’s sugar spikes to be able to provide ‘precision nutrition’ advice, reverse pre-diabetes and restore metabolic health.” READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Acanthosis and/or skin tags

Skin conditions such as acanthosis (darkened skin patches) and even skin tags are indicative of underlying metabolic issues.

Signs of Metabolic Syndrome

Signs such as even slightly raised blood pressure, elevated blood sugar levels, excess body fat, especially around the waist and abnormal cholesterol levels, should not be ignored, as you may be developing metabolic syndrome which not only increases your risk of diabetes but predicts a 10-year reduction in life expectancy.

Becoming hangry

“Hangry” outbursts may indicate “rollercoaster” blood sugar levels, which can result from an imbalanced diet leaving people feeling hungry, tired and irritable. Graham emphasised the importance of paying attention to these warning signs and taking proactive steps towards a healthier lifestyle. He said: “Spotting these warning signs early and acting upon them NOW can make a significant difference in halting diabetes in its tracks and extending overall life expectancy. In terms of overall health, what actually matters isn’t how you look on the outside, it’s about what’s going on inside your body.
