Person: Non-Diabetic (Normal)
Blood Glucoselevels 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 havePrediabetes 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).

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.

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!”

Diabetes Information
Diabetes Mellitus (the longhand name for diabetes) is a chronic
metabolic disease characterized
by elevated levels of glucose in the bloodstream. This excessive level
of blood sugar is
caused either by an insufficiency of the pancreatic hormone "insulin",
or by the body's inability to use the insulin it produces.
We determined that, of the carbohydrates present in the diet, absorbed
glucose is largely responsible
for the food-induced increase in blood sugar concentration. We also
determined that dietary protein
increases insulin secretion and lowers blood sugar . Fat does not
significantly affect blood sugar ,
but can affect insulin secretion and modify the absorption of
carbohydrates. Based on these data,
we tested the efficacy of diets with various protein:carbohydrate:fat
ratios for 5 weeks on blood
glucose control in people with untreated type 2 diabetes.
The
results were compared to those obtained in the same subjects after 5
weeks on a control diet
with a protein:carbohydrate:fat ratio of 15:55:30.
A
30:40:30 ratio diet resulted in a moderate but significant decrease in
24-hour integrated glucose area
and % total glycohemoglobin (%tGHb).
A 30:20:50 ratio diet resulted in a
38% decrease in 24-hour glucose area, a reduction in fasting glucose
to near normal and
a decrease in %tGHb from 9.8% to 7.6%. The response to a 30:30:40 ratio
diet was similar.
Findings were :

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.
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.
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.

and physical fitness, see:

Do you want to lose weight? If so,
you're probably overwhelmed by the choices out there.
Do you follow the latest diet plan? Embark on a new
training regime? Perhaps you should cut carbs out of
your diet, or focus entirely on aerobic exercise?
With so many options, its tough to know where to turn for
solid fat loss advice. But one things for sure: if you want to
lose weight, its vital that you keep your diet in check. Eating
excessive food, especially simple sugars and saturated fats, is
bound to keep the weight on.

Education- NDEP Control diabetes by controlling glucose, blood pressure,
and cholesterol
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.
Diabetics are almost all nutritionally
depleted because vitamins and minerals are lost in their urine,
because they generally have medical conditions which increase
requirements, because their
bodies burns more essential fatty acids for energy, and because
diabetics' diets are often themselves deficient. The optimum
levels of some protective vitamins cannot be achieved with food
alone.
Supplements can dramatically lessen the risk of heart disease
and stroke in diabetics,
and correction of deficiencies can, along with
exercise, lessen the severity of the condition.

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.

"My task is to give you an overview of treating type 2 diabetes and of
all the medications that
we have at our disposal. Life has changed a lot through the years in
terms of type 2 diabetes.
Twenty-five years ago, all we had was insulin and sulfonylureas.
Consequently, we put patients
on sulfonylureas and when they failed over time, they all ended up on
insulin. Today we have
many more medications to choose from. These medications work differently
and they target
the multiple pathophysiologic defects that we have in type 2 diabetes.
We understand that behind all of this there is the insulin-resistant
liver overproducing glucose.
We have insulin resistance in the adipocytes.
We have high free fatty acids, worsening insulin resistance, and perhaps
worsening beta-cell function.
We have insulin resistance in skeletal muscles as well.
All of these defects are coming into play, as well as declining insulin
over time because of
progressive apoptosis or
programmed cell death of beta cells."

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.
A diagnosis of diabetes can really derail your lifestyle. All of a
sudden, there are a lot of new
things to learn and many changes that have to take place. Where do you
start?

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
At the beginning of type 2 diabetes a healthy diet may be
sufficient to lower the sugar
and keep the HbA1c below 7%
Later, metformin is needed.
Later still, add Exanatide if overweight or other drug.
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.
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
glucose levels are in the target range.
This is easily done at home with a blood sugar monitor.

It's proven: Diabetes 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.
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.
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.

Do you want to lose weight? If so,
you're probably overwhelmed by the choices out there.
Do you follow the latest diet plan? Embark on a new

With so many options, its tough to know where to turn for
solid fat loss advice. But one things for sure: if you want to
lose weight, its vital that you keep your diet in check. Eating
excessive food, especially simple sugars and saturated fats, is
bound to keep the weight on.

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.
When consumed in food or drinks the refined sugar rapidly goes into the

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).
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.

Tight control
means getting as close to a normal (nondiabetic) blood
sugar level as you safely can.
Ideally, this means levels between 70 mg/dl (3.8 mmol/l)
and 130 mg/dl before meals (7.2 mmol/L),
and less than 180 (10mmol/L) two hours after starting a
meal, with a glycated hemoglobin (A1C) level
less than 7 percent. The target number for glycated
hemoglobin will vary depending on the type of test your
doctor's laboratory uses.
In real life, you should set your goals with your
doctor. Keeping a normal level all the time is not
practical.
And it's not needed to get results.
Every bit you
lower your blood sugar level helps to prevent
complications.
Living with tight control
To get tight control, you must do the following:
Pay more
attention to your diet and exercise.
Measure
your blood sugar levels more often.
If you take insulin, change how much you use and
your injection schedule.
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.
Conceptually, identifying the metabolic
syndrome (or insulin resistance) identifies risk for
cardiovascular disease (CVD) or diabetes.
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.
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).
Although low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol remains the lipid
value commonly used to assess
cardiovascular risk, apolipoprotein (apo) B may better reflect lipid
risk. Six categories of evidence
support this conclusion: small, dense LDL particles, as measured by apo
B, are more commonly
present in persons with coronary artery disease (CAD) than an increased
LDL cholesterol level;
increased very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) secretion by the liver
results in increased small,
dense LDL particles; small, dense LDL particles are more atherogenic
than normal LDL particles;
apo B more accurately identifies CAD risk than do LDL cholesterol
levels; apo B assays do not
require fasting and have been well standardized for use in routine
laboratories; and the
level of apo B continues to predict CAD risk during statin treatment.
The ADA
currently recommends keeping blood sugar levels before meals between
90 mg/dl (5
mmol/L)
and 130 mg/dl
(7 mmol/L) and keeping blood sugar levels one to two hours
after meals
below 180 mg/dl
(10 mmol/L) for most people.

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.

LDL Small sized particles (Apo B)
Dr
Agatston, a cardiologist, and author of the "The South Beach Diet"
says in his book that
"it is the small dense LDL that does the more damage, i.e.
apolipoproteins.
Treating dyslipidemia
Drugs for lowering LDL cholesterol
Lowering triglycerides
The role of diabetes drugs
Combination therapy
Following some trials ....."these results led the researchers to
conclude their report with a declaration
that "statin therapy should now be considered routinely for all
diabetic patients at sufficiently
high risk of major vascular events, irrespective of their initial
cholesterol concentrations."
"You can ‘convert’ a person with metabolic syndrome to what is
essentially a nondiabetic state
with diet modification and exercise,"
Dr. Keilson says. "In true diabetes, though, the risk of heart disease
is profound, and many
physicians will go directly to pharmaceutical
therapy to give their patients maximum protection."
Although people with diabetes tend to have
levels of LDL cholesterol that are the same
(or only slightly elevated) as people
who don’t have diabetes, their LDL particles
are of a different
and more dangerous kind.
The LDL particles
in people with diabetes are different
because they contain more triglycerides.
"When you increase the concentration
of triglycerides in LDL cholesterol, its
structure changes and it becomes a smaller,
denser particle,"
says Leonard M. Keilson, M.D., M.P.H., a
lipids specialist
"These dense LDL particles are particularly dangerous, because they can
more easily cross the
endothelium—the lining of the arteries—and enter the wall of the
vessels." Fatty deposits in
arterial walls lead to atherosclerosis."
The primary focus of dyslipidemia treatment
in all people, with diabetes or not, is LDL
cholesterol.
Overwhelming evidence from clinical trials,
experimental animals, laboratory research,
and epidemiology points to LDL cholesterol
as the form of cholesterol most
likely to cause atherosclerosis.
Current
standards call for lowering levels of LDL
cholesterol below 100 mg/dl for people
with known atherosclerosis. Diabetes is
now considered a "coronary heart disease
risk equivalent,"
so people with diabetes are managed as if
they already have atherosclerosis.

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.
