TYPE 2 DIABETES CANADA

 

Best Tip:
In Type 2 Diabetes manage your blood sugar in the first 10 Years New Page 1

Person: Non-Diabetic (Normal)

Blood Glucose levels should be
.Fasting blood sugar under 100 mg/dl = 5.5 mmol/L
One hour after meals under 140 mg/dl = 7.8 mmol/L
Two hours after meals under 120 mg/dl = 6.7 mmol/L
.
.

Person: Type 2 Diabetes

Blood SUGAR  levels should be..
If you 'embrace' your Type 2 Diabetes
 you will gradually learn to control it and achieve an HbA1c of 7% or below.
But to do this, you need to check to see your
fasting blood sugar (glucose) levels are 4 - 7 mmol/l (72-126 mg/dl) (when you wake up)
test your blood glucose levels before meals between, should be  4 and 7 mmol/l (72-126 mg/dl).
Remember, you still need tablets if you are ill;
if you are being sick or cannot swallow the tablets, |let your doctor or nurse know.
Occasionally test after meals (preferred levels less than 10 mmol/l) (180 mg/dl )


.
To achieve very good control (HbA1c 6.5-7.0%) you need:
.
a fasting pre-breakfast glucose less than 5.5 mmol/l (99 mg/dl )
.
pre-meal levels at other times less than 6.0 mmol/l (108 mg/dl )
.
after-meal levels (2 hours after a meal) less than 8.0 mmol/l (141 mg/dl).
.
.
These levels cannot be achieved in all patients. But if you are well and are prepared to stick to a healthy
diet and exercise your medication should be adjusted to achieve these levels, even if that means starting insulin.
.
.

How to Tell if you have Prediabetes
There are two different tests to see if you have normal blood sugar (glucose) or pre-diabetes:

1) the fasting plasma glucose test (FPG) or
2) the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).
 

           
1) The fasting plasma glucose test (FPG)

Normal
PreDiabetes
Type 2 Diabetes
less than 5.6 mmol/L  5.6-7 mmol/l greater
than 7 mmol/l
less than 100 mg/dl  100 -126
mg/dl		 greater
than 126 mg/dl

 

2) The oral glucose  tolerance test (OGTT). (Done by your Doctor)

Normal
PreDiabetes
Type 2 Diabetes
less than 7.7 mmol/l 7.7 - 11
mmol/l		 greater
than 11 mmol/l
less than 140 mg/dl  140 - 200
mg/dl 		greater
than 200 mg/dl

.

.

.

If  you are pre-diabetic or diabetic, among the first issues you will have to deal with are blood sugar levels, irregular blood sugar levels, and just how to monitor your blood sugar level.

A basic blood sugar chart will give you an idea of what values you should be aiming for to take care of your health and stay clear of harmful health effects due to type 2 diabetes:

  •  Normal Fasting blood sugar (glucose) levels are 4 – 5.5mmol/l (70- 100 mg/dl) (when you wake up);  
       these amounts are typically less in the morning, and rise soon after meals.
     
  • Regardless of what you may have previously eaten, a random reading of 10 mmol/l (or 180 mg/dl) or more, may suggest you have type 2 diabetes.
     
  • A fasting blood sugar reading taken, for example, any time after you wake up each morning, should be, as mentioned  4 – 5.5mmol/l (70- 100 mg/dl).  

If the fasting blood sugar reading is 7 mmol/l (126 mg/dL) or more, you may have type 2 diabetes.

When monitoring your blood glucose levels, its crucial that you study any patterns with your readings with your doctor or diabetes nurse or healthcare professional, and take note of variations with meals, medications or other activity (like stress) that trigger undesirable readings.

Diabetes really is a serious problem, and can have devastating effects on  the whole body, on eyes, kidneys, heart, nerves, possibly leading to blindness, kindey failure, amputation of feet, heart illnesses and stroke. Those who have diabetes, regardless if it is type 1 or 2 is a real threat to health.

 

For those that have pre-diabetes it's by no means too early to consider aggressive preventive measures by altering your way of life and lifestyle choices.

                                     How To Reverse Type 2 Diabetes                        

     THE BOOK - Control Your Blood Sugar and  Reverse The Root Cause of Type 2 Diabetes!

 

Here's important news for anyone with diabetes. A remarkable E-Book is now available that reveals scientifically proven principles that can help trigger your body to produce more insulin naturally, reversing diabetes symptoms without the need for medication.

Diabetes is a condition in which sugar is not properly absorbed by the body. Globally the incidence of diabetes is expected to exceed 250 million people by 2025 – resulting in 35 million heart attacks, 13 million strokes, 6 million episodes of renal failure, 8 million instances of blindness or eye surgery, 2 million amputations and 62 million deaths – that is a measure of the scale of the problem. While diabetes belongs at the top of the healthcare agenda, it has yet to be given that position.

According to the American Diabetes Association, there are 21 million diabetics in America; with another 54 million people having pre-diabetes (placing them at high risk for developing Type II diabetes). This equates to 75 million Americans having diabetes, or being at high risk.

Matt Traverso's E-Book states, if the damage that is being done to the pancreas can be turned around, the organ will be given the chance to heal itself and then, gradually, it is possible for those who are dependent on insulin shots to be able to stop them all together. This means diabetes sufferers may no longer have to be dependant on the drugs and medications that are usually taken to treat the condition.

Top scientists such as Dr Robert O. Young, Dr Gabriel Cousens, Dr Fuhrman and many others (whose groundbreaking research forms the basis of this E-book) state that “diabetes is completely reversible”.

I would like to extend the opportunity to anyone who either suffers from type 1 or type 2 diabetes, or is at high risk of getting the disease, to learn more about “The Diabetes-Reversing Breakthrough!”

So if you want to find out more about this, then just visit the link now.

                How To Reverse Type 2 Diabetes      

So now, here’s my question to you…

How bad do your Diabetes complications have to get, before you're finally desperate enough, to actually do something about it?!

Fact is... the longer you remain stuck in the “Diabetes Trap” of continually “needing” more and higher doses of medications, the more long-term havoc your diabetes complications will wreak on your heart, kidneys, pancreas, brain, and the rest of your body.

On the other hand, if you're content staying trapped by your Diabetes... just realize, this ruthless disease will eventually cost you far more in the long term.

Because the Reverse Your Diabetes Now ebook  is in a convenient downloadable format, you can start learning the simple steps to beat diabetes immediately after you order.

Plus, you have a full TWO MONTHS to test it out for yourself. If your diabetes hasn't dramatically improved –
or even if you don't like the book for any reason (or no reason at all) – you'll get a full refund. No hassles, no questions asked... 100% unconditionally guaranteed.

How Does Your Doctor
Diagnose Type 2 Diabetes?

Looking for Signs of Diabetes

By Debra Manzella, R.N., WWW.About.com

http://diabetes.about.com/od/doctorsandspecialists/qt/type2diagnosis.htm

Do you have the signs of diabetes?

At an annual physical or checkup your doctor may order a fasting blood sugar (FBS) test, or an
oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) to help determine whether you have diabetes. What do these tests mean?

Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS)

A fasting blood sugar  of 70 mg/dl (3.8 mmol/l) to 99 mg/dl (5.5 mmol/l) is normal.
If your fasting blood sugar  level comes back between 100 mg/dl (5.5 mmol/l) and 125 mg/dl (7.0 mmol/l)
then you are considered to have impaired fasting glucose or pre-diabetes.

A fasting glucose higher than 125 mg/dl (7.0 mmol/l) indicates that you have type 2 diabetes.
Most doctors like to get a fasting blood sugar on two separate occasions to make sure of the diagnosis.

Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT)

The OGTT is a glucose challenge test. You are given a drink that contains 75 grams of glucose (sugar).
Two hours later another blood sample is drawn to check your glucose level.
If your blood sugar  is under 140 mg/dl (7.7 mmol/l), then your glucose tolerance is considered normal.
If it is 140 mg/dl (7.0 mmol/l) to 200 mg/dl (11 mmol/l), then you have impaired glucose tolerance or prediabetes.
If your glucose is over 200 mg/dl (11 mmol/l) then a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes is made.

If You Are Pregnant:

blood sugar  Unit Conversion

The unit of measurement for blood sugar  is varies around the world. In the United States,
 the standard is milligrams per deciliter or mg/dl.
In other countries, blood sugar  may be measured in millimoles/liter or mmol/l.
Here is a quick conversion chart courtesy of Usenet and FAQS.org

  • 4.0 mmol/l = 75 mg/dl
  • 5.5 mmol/l = 100 mg/dl
  • 5 - 6 mmol/l = 90-110 mg/dl
  • 8.0 mmol/l = 150 mg/dl
  • 10.0 mmol/l = 180 mg/dl
  • 11.0 mmol/l = 200 mg/dl

More on Exercise......

Extract........

Diet and exercise are the basis of good diabetes management. In fact, many patients can be controlled quite adequately
with diet and exercise changes alone.  Unfortunately, with the introduction of of insulin and oral tablets, the role played by exercise went
into down, but it is only now emerging again. After all, if the patient can be controlled with the use of insulin or an oral agent (tablet),
why make the patient exercise? Today, the picture seems to have changed radically and exercise has again come center stage.

A regular program of exercise not only helps in correcting many of metabolic abnormalities associated with diabetes,
but also makes the person a much more fitter and healthier person. Exercise decreases the blood sugar  levels
(and it does this even without any change in the weight of the patient), it leads to an increase in insulin sensitivity,
decreases the levels of bad triglycerides and the bad LDL-cholesterol, whilst increasing the 'good' HDL-cholesterol values.
The energy spent during the exercise also contributes to the weight reduction of an overweight patient.

Check with your doctor before starting exercise program !

      From WWW.About.com  Debra Mazarella  Diabetes Management

                                           http://diabetes.about.com/od/doctorsandspecialists/a/treatdiabetes.htm

 

Have you been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes? If your doctor gave you a lot of information for managing your diabetes,
chances are you
are having some difficulty trying to make sense of everything that you have to know.

Good diabetes management requires many different treatments and strategies in order to be effective. You may feel like
your entire life needs to be overhauled. All these changes can seem overwhelming at first, but when all that information
 is broken down into easy to understand categories, you can begin to get a handle on it.

Keep Track of Your Blood Sugar

Checking your blood sugar  levels can help you keep good control of your diabetes. Different foods and activities can influence
blood sugar levels. The only way to know your levels for sure is to test your blood sugar frequently using a glucometer.
You also should keep track of the numbers.

Diabetes Medications

There are currently six of classes of drugs to manage type 2 diabetes. They work in different ways to help lower blood sugar.
Medications need to be taken as prescribed, because the time you take them plays a part in how well they work.
Many people with diabetes
are started on metformin when they are first diagnosed.

Knowing What to Eat

Food might be the most complicated part of diabetes management. It doesn't just play an important part in our lives,
it is necessary for survival.
Everyone has to eat. So, what is the best way to eat for diabetes? There isn't a set diabetes diet anymore.
You are free to eat a variety of foods, including sweets now and then.
The trick is to watch portion sizes, and eat more vegetables and fruits,
whole grains and lean meats, and fewer processed, fatty, high calorie foods.

Getting More Exercise Into Your Life

Exercise is a necessary part of diabetes management. Regular exercise can lower your blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of
cardiovascular diseases and other complications. It can also help you lose weight and keep it off.

Managing Your Overall Health

Diabetes is a complicated illness. Setting goals and getting organized can help. Support from family members
can also make coping easier.

 

Having a doctor to help you manage diabetes is very important. But other types of healthcare professionals
can be a real help. Diabetes educators, nutritionists, and specialists (such as an eye doctor or cardiologist)
can all make a difference in the quality of your care.

Over time, managing your diabetes will become easier. Life may not return to what it was before you were diagnosed,
but it can move forward
with many healthy and happy years ahead.

xtreme fat loss If you’re in a hurry to make real weight loss in the shortest possible time perhaps for a special occasion or that long awaited bikini holiday this just might be the plan for you.

Joel Marion’s Xtreme Fat Loss Diet promises to lose you 25lbs in 25 days with the most strategic fat loss program ever delivered.

 
The sweetener is this program is that you can eat whatever you like every 5th day!

Joel Marion’s program is used the world over resulting in a reputation to be admired as well as being touted as one of America’s top 50 Personal Trainers.

The program is a simple one in that the sequence is repeated 5 times with a ‘cheat’ day every 5th day.  This helps prevent boredom and believe it or not ‘tricks’ your body into NOT storing fat which often happens on weight loss programs because of the reduced calorie intake.

However, you must be prepared to work out with this system as well as follow the nutritional information.  In other words if you just want a diet this is not for you.  The secret to its success is the combined formula of Joel’s eating plan and the intensity of the workouts.

Joel’s program is unique in that it addresses common problems dieters often face such as the weight loss plateau, stubborn fat that won’t seem to budge no matter what you try or if you just need to get rid of that fat in record time.

The program comes with a 100% money back guarantee as well as the promise of no Rebound Weight Gain.

Xtreme Fat Loss is a definite ‘Must Have’ in the dieting war.

Blood Sugar

Blood Sugar Control - Mechanisms - How it Works--And How It Stops Working
To understand what happens as your blood sugar deteriorates from normal to pre-diabetes, and finally,
 to full-fledged diabetes you need to first understand how blood sugar control works in a normal body.
Let's look at that now.
 

  
Blood Sugar

Blood Sugar Control- Normal Person
The key to understanding blood sugar control is to understand the role played by special cells
called Beta-Cells. These tiny cells are scattered through an organ called the pancreas which is
 located just under your stomach. The job of the beta cell is to produce insulin, store it,
and release it into the blood stream at appropriate times.

White Flour Carbs
Sugary carbs, especially table sugar (sucrose), used to be seen as causing adverse health effects for
diabetics and people with symptoms of impaired glucose tolerance or insulin insensitivity.
Although a high sugar diet can cause problems for these groups,
most nutritionists now view refined white flour foods (most of which have a high GI-value)
as causing more glycemic health problems, such as insulin resistance e, and digestive disorders.

Delay The Prevention or Delay of Type 2 Diabetes -- 26 (Supplement 1) 62 -- Diabetes Care

There is now substantial evidence that type 2 diabetes can be prevented or delayed. Individuals at
high risk of developing diabetes (those with pre-diabetes) can be identified easily.
It is not yet known whether the successful interventions will cost-effectively reduce
the morbidity and mortality associated with diabetes. Diabetes prevention policies that
focus on lifestyle modification, specifically modest weight loss and increased physical activity,
are also very likely to have additional health benefits.

Diet

 
Choosing a healthy lifestyle can help you improve your health and reduce your risk of heart disease
and diabetes.

Healthy lifestyles include eating a healthy diet, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly,
quitting smoking (or not starting), and minimizing stress. (Note: Specific guidance for maintaining a
healthy lifestyle may change over time as new scientific recommendations
become available.) Learn more about each of the factors that affect your lifestyle.

 

Eat a Healthy Diet
 

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans show how good dietary habits can promote health and reduce risk
for major chronic diseases.

A heart-healthy diet is one that is:

  • nutritious and well-balanced
  • low in saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, and salt
  • high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains
The Food Guide Pyramid and the Food Label are tools to help consumers make informed food choices in
 the context of a healthy diet.

Use the Food Guide Pyramid to help you choose healthy foods each day.

Maintain a Healthy Weight
 

Excess body fat leads to health problems such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.

Health professionals use a measurement called body mass index (BMI) to classify an adult's weight as healthy,
overweight, or obese.
BMI describes body weight relative to height and is correlated with total body fat content in most adults.

To find your BMI, use the chart on this page or
National Heart Lung and Blood Institute's BMI calculator. 
   http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/bmicalc.htm

BMI range:

  • 18.5-25 -- healthy range
  • 25-30 - overweight
  • 30 or higher -- obese

Having excess abdominal body fat is also a health risk. Men with a waist of more than 40 inches around and
women with a waist of 35 inches or more are at risk for health problems.

More than 60 percent of U.S. adults are either overweight or obese, according to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC). While the number of overweight people has been slowly climbing
 since the 1980s, the number of obese adults has nearly doubled since then.

Excess weight and physical inactivity account for more than 300,000 premature deaths each
 year in the United States, second only to deaths related to smoking, says the CDC. People who are overweight or obese are more likely to develop heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, gallbladder disease and joint pain
caused by excess uric acid (gout). Excess weight can also cause interrupted
breathing during sleep (sleep apnea) and wearing away of the joints (osteoarthritis).

To lose weight, you must eat less and move more. Your body needs to burn more calories than you take in.

For more information on losing weight, see:

horizonal rule
Exercise Regularly
 

Exercise improves heart function, lowers blood pressure and blood cholesterol, helps manage
diabetes, and helps control weight.

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) at NIH recommends that adults get
at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity on most days of the week.

Talk to your doctor about what forms of exercise are best for you.

Stress
Choosing a healthy lifestyle can help you improve your health and reduce your risk of heart disease
and diabetes.
 
Minimize Stress
The link between stress and coronary heart disease is not entirely clear.
However, people who have too much stress or who have unhealthy responses to stress may
be at greater risk of having coronary heart disease.

Facts about stress and coronary heart disease:

  • Stress speeds up the heart rate.
  • People with heart disease are more likely to have a heart attack during times of stress.
  • People sometimes respond to stress with unhealthy habits such as smoking or eating
    salty or high-fat foods.

For information on stress reduction, see:

Early blood sugar  Control Protects Years Later Diabetes Self-Management

Tightly controlling your blood sugar  levels soon after being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes
can lead to lower risks of diabetes complications—
including heart disease and death—years later.

Education- NDEP Control diabetes by controlling glucose, blood pressure, and cholesterol

http://www.ndep.nih.gov/publications/#PubsPatCont

Nearly 65 percent of people with diabetes will die from a heart attack or stroke;
because of a lack of available information, two out of three people with diabetes are unaware
of their heightened risk.

In order for those with diabetes to stay heart healthy, having the most up-to-date information is crucial. 
Now, there's a place where people can go for the latest resources that can help them control their diabetes,
as well as monitor their blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

When those with diabetes take steps to also ensure good cardiovascular health, they can live long, healthy lives. 

 The National Diabetes Education Program is a federally funded program sponsored by the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' National Institutes of Health and the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and includes over 200 partners at
the federal, state, and local levels, working together to reduce the morbidity and
mortality associated with diabetes.

Diabetic Food
The diabetic food pyramid outlines in detail what those suffering from the disease should eat,
and what they should avoid.
You'll find lots of starches, grains and breads on the pyramid that was first released by the USDA in 2005.

And if you're looking for recipes, they can be found practically everywhere you look.
Search the internet, open a book, magazine or newspaper, or just turn on the television and you'll
no doubt find more tasty recipes than you could ever hope to try.
A quick trip to the public library will add even more treats to your list.

The main thing that needs to be avoided is sugars, and given how tempting many desserts
can be this is harder than it seems.
Those with a mild case of diabetes might be able to grab a nibble of sugared foods on occasion,
 but not too often. Those with moderate to severe cases of diabetes should avoid them completely.

    What Are The Treatments Available?

     

    Type 2 diabetes can sometimes be turned around with weight loss, a healthy diet and exercise.
    If your doctor feels that is the case, then positive lifestyle changes that help you lose the excess weight,
    and regular daily exercise may be enough.
    With medication or not, diabetes still requires a healthy diet and physical activity for optimum health.

     

     

    Medications are usually prescribed in addition to lifestyle changes. The medications work in
    different ways but their effect is to lower blood sugar  and help the body's own insulin become
     more effective. If oral medications are not enough, insulin injections may be used to help
    gain control of glucose levels.

    Control of type 2 diabetes

    Excellent Website !!

    David Kinshuck, Pat Lamb, Urmilla Griffiths (Pat & Urmila: diabetes specialist nurses, Good Hope Hospital)  

     

    Embrace your diabetes

    Learning how to control type 2 diabetes...take control

    What is happening in type 2 diabetes

    First, there is a shortage of insulin

    Second, there is insulin resistance.

    Third, there are genes

    These factors combine to cause type 2 diabetes

     

    Pattern of progression

    1. At the beginning of type 2 diabetes a healthy diet may be sufficient to lower the sugar and keep the HbA1c below 7%
    2. Later, metformin is needed.
    3. Later still, add Exanatide if overweight or other drug.
    4. Later still insulin may be required

     

    Testing you sugar/glucose level
     

    See testing. If you 'embrace' your diabetes, you will gradually learn to control it and achieve an
    HbA1c of 7% or below.
    But to do this, you need to check to see your

    • fasting blood sugar  levels are 4 - 7 mmol/l (72-126 mg/dl) (when you wake up)
    • test your blood sugar  levels before meals between 4 and 7 mmol/l (72-126 mg/dl)
    • remember, you still need tablets if you are ill; if you are being sick or cannot swallow the tablets,
      |let your doctor or nurse know.
    • occasionally test after meals (preferred levels less than 10 mmol/l) (180 mg/dl )
    • To achieve very good control (HbA1c 6.5-7.0%) you need a fasting pre-breakfast glucose
      less than 5.5 mmol/l (99 mg/dl ), pre-meal levels at other times less than 6.0 mmol/l (108 mg/dl )
       and after-meal levels (2 hours after a meal) less than 8.0 mmol/l (141 mg/dl).
    • These levels cannot be achieved in all patients..but if you are well and are prepared to stick to a healthy
      diet and exercise your medication should be adjusted to achieve these levels, even if that
      means starting insulin.

     

     

    Do you need tablets (or insulin), and if so what?

    Metformin

    Meglitinides

    Gliclazide

    Glitazones

    Amaryl

    Exenatide (Byetta) and Sitagliptin (Januvia)

    Diabetes is a condition where people don't produce enough insulin to meet their body's needs or
    their cells don't respond properly to insulin.

    Type 2 diabetes is mainly caused by insulin resistance.

    Symptoms

    Treatment

    Frequent measurement of blood sugar  levels is the best way to know whether blood sugar
     levels are in the target range.
    This is easily done at home with a blood sugar  monitor.

    How to cure type 2 diabetes Book

    It's proven: Diabetes effects can be reversed. According to a groundbreaking new study
      completed by researchers at UCLA and other California universities, changes in diet and moderate
    exercise actually reverse diabetes in at least 50% of patients
     in only three weeks!     In only three weeks time, the amount of cholesterol and free radicals
    in the test subjects' blood was lower and their nitric oxide levels were higher, which are all factors
     in stopping diabetes before it takes its toll on limbs and life.

    Hunger

    Hunger - Insulin can cause  it

    When there's too much insulin, blood sugar levels begin to fall (hypoglycemia), triggering a feeling of
    hunger     and the constant need to eat, which also causes weight gain and fat storage.

    Reducing

    The Truth About Diabetes AltMedAngel.com

    The whole idea in treating diabetes is to bring blood sugar levels back to normal quickly.
    This must be done immediately after eating and then gradually continue for several hours, as
    food is being digested. In non-diabetic individuals, this process occurs very smoothly because the
    body constantly adjusts its secretion of insulin depending on the levels of blood sugar.

    Hunger & Carbs

    Hungry - Diabetes - Addicted to Carbs

    Carbs make us hungry. When we're hungry, we eat more. The more we eat the more we want,
    so we gain weight. It's the classic
     vicious circle of addiction.

     

    		  
    Exercise

    Exercise works like a charm to lower glucose levels. The best time of the day to exercise is after a meal.
    This doesn't mean that you put your fork down and run out the door, but maybe within the
    following two hours. Even a brief 10-minute walk can make a difference in postprandial
    (after meals) glucose levels.

    Cure and Cause of Diabetes

    When consumed in food or drinks the refined sugar rapidly goes into the blood stream and
    produces a sharp rise in blood sugar values.  
    The pancreas secretes large amounts of insulin to promptly return high blood sugar values to normal.

    Sharp rises in insulin output may cause overshooting the desired blood sugar and it is
     common for these individuals to have blood sugar values plummet to low levels with
    symptoms of low blood sugar (weakness, sweating, cloudy thinking, lack of energy, hunger, shakiness).

    these individuals to have blood sugar values plummet to low levels with symptoms of low blood sugar (weakness, sweating, cloudy thinking, lack of energy, hunger, shakiness).

     

    With the passage of time this massive output of insulin provoked by huge sugar intakes takes a toll
     on the pancreas and reaches the point where the pancreas is unable to produce any greater quantities
     of insulin. When this occurs sugar no longer enters the cells in adequate
    amounts to prevent rising blood sugar values. The diagnosis of diabetes can be made with
    now elevated blood sugar values but the problem obviously began many years earlier with the
     first signs of insulin excess.

    Fruit

    Cure and Cause of Diabetes :  by Dr. James Howenstine, M.D.

    Sugar in the form of fruit contains fiber that delays absorption and thus moderates the rise in blood
    sugar values when fruit is consumed.
    Refined white sugar, sucrose, and dextrose lack fiber and nutrients. When consumed in food or
    drinks the refined sugar rapidly goes into the blood stream and produces a sharp rise in blood
    sugar values. The pancreas secretes large amounts of insulin to promptly return high blood sugar
    values to normal.

    Insulin and Obesity

    Cure and Cause of Diabetes :  by Dr. James Howenstine, M.D.

    Why Do Diabetics Become Obese?
    When the pre-diabetic person is experiencing chronic high insulin values with too many carbohydrate
    calories, this insulin is converting some of the excess glucose into the fat triglyceride,
    which gets stored in fat cells which end up distended in an obese patient.

    Insulin resistance

    Insulin levels -in insulin resistance -  phantom of the metabolic opera

    Conceptually, identifying the metabolic syndrome (or insulin resistance) identifies risk for

    This article explains how, historically, insulin resistance brought together facets of the
    metabolic syndrome and the pathogenesis of diabetes and atheroma (thicklening of arteries in CVD) 
    but has since been clinically “overtaken” by central obesity, now accepted as the core component
    of the metabolic syndrome.

    The metabolic syndrome encompasses a wide range of metabolic disturbances in glucose, insulin
    and lipid metabolism, and is associated with
    central abdominal obesity.

    Fats

    Know Your Fats by the American Heart Association
     

    Knowing which fats raise LDL cholesterol and which ones don't is the first step in lowering your risk of heart disease. In addition to the LDL produced naturally by your body, saturated fat, trans-fatty acids and dietary cholesterol can also raise blood cholesterol. Monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats appear to not raise LDL cholesterol; some studies suggest they might even help lower LDL cholesterol slightly when eaten as part of a low-saturated and trans-fat diet.

    The American Heart Association's Nutrition Committee strongly advises these fat guidelines for healthy Americans over age 2:  read more ......

    For example, a sedentary female who is 31–50 years old needs about 2,000 calories each day. Therefore, she should consume less than 16 g saturated fat, less than 2 g trans fat and between 50 and 70 grams of total fat each day (with most fats coming from sources of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, such as fish, nuts, seeds and vegetable oils).

    Feet Problems

    The American Diabetes Association (ADA) has identified an increased risk of ulcers and amputations
     in the following groups of
    people with diabetes:
    • Those who have had diabetes for ten years or longer
    • Men
    • People whose blood sugar  control is less than optimal
    • People who already have other diabetes complications, such as cardiovascular (heart) disease,
       retinopathy (eye disease), or nephropathy (kidney disease)
    • People with a history of smoking, because smoking is associated with early development of
      vascular (blood vessel) complications in diabetes.

     

    Taking Steps Toward Healthy Feet

    Here are some of the most important steps you can take now to prevent diabetes-related foot complications:

     

    Controlling blood fats.

    Controlling blood pressure.

    Blood Fats

    Feet Problems

    There are many ways to reduce risks to feet problems

    Read More..........

    One way is to ......

    Control blood fats. High blood levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol
    (the so-called bad cholesterol) and the fats called triglycerides can contribute to atherosclerosis
     (hardening of the arteries) and heart disease. Atherosclerosis is also a contributor to the development of
    peripheral arterial disease, which itself increases risk for foot complications by interfering
    with the healing of wounds. Peripheral arterial disease can be symptomless or it can manifest itself
    in a number of ways including coolness of the fingers or toes, loss of hair on the hands or feet, or
    intermittent claudication (pain in the legs or  buttocks that starts with activity and subsides with rest).

    People with diabetes tend to have LDL levels similar to those of people who don’t have diabetes,
    but diabetes often causes decreased levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol
    (the so-called good cholesterol) and increased levels of triglycerides. 
     Depending on your levels and symptoms, your health-care team may recommend dietary changes,
     including lowering your intake of saturated and trans fats, exercise, and medicines.

    How It Works

     

    Phase 1, the shortest Phase, lasts for just two weeks and is designed to eliminate cravings for sugar
    and refined starches - and to jump-start your weight loss. The purpose of Phase 1 is to stabilize blood sugar
    (which minimizes cravings), making it ideal for people who are prediabetic or diabetic, as well as for those
    who need to lose a lot of weight.
     

     

     

     

    Phase 2 is the long-term weight-loss Phase of the plan. It's also the perfect place to start for those people
    who have 10 pounds or less to lose, who don't have problems with cravings, who don't have excess belly fat,
    or who simply want to improve their health.
     

     

    By now, you've adopted the South Beach Diet lifestyle, making smart food choices that fit the way you live.
    That's what Phase 3 is all about, and it begins once you reach your healthy weight. In Phase 3, you'll
    continue to follow the principles you learned in Phases 1 and 2, but because it's the lifelong stage of the
    plan, it includes almost every kind of food and it allows for additional occasional indulgences.
    It is the key to maintaining a healthy weight for life.

    If you want to enjoy the benefits of flaxseed oil (linseed oil) , it is important to ground the seeds before you
    eat them or use pure flax seed oil from a bottle.
    The flax seed is too hard for the stomach to digest and if you eat whole flax seeds they will just pass through you
    without releasing any nutrients. (They will however work wonders if you ever become constipated!)

    Thomas Smith in the 'Fats and Oils'  section of his website   Healing Matters - www.healingmatters.com
    says Flaxseed is a healthy choice.
