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).
1) The fasting plasma glucose test (FPG)

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!”

When interpreting your results, take your premeal readings into account
since you are interested in
not just your after-meal
reading but also in
how much your blood sugar level increased
because of your food intake
It used to be said that having diabetes aged people an additional 20
years. Today, thanks to
better tools for managing diabetes and
preventing and treating its complications, people with
diabetes have the
opportunity to live longer than ever before.
Control your
diabetes – otherwise it WILL get worse.
You should make sure it doesn’t get worse in
THE FIRST 10 YEARS - so you can get off to a good start for your future
health
(otherwise things will get worse very quickly).
Diet
Don’t eat the following: minimise carbs especially
white flour based
breads and pastries (pies) and chips (any sort)
and cookies/
biscuits – these tend to have no fibre !!! that’s why !!!
You will need to get your
carbs from fruit and
veggies as best you can. You can slowly learn to do this.
People with Diabetes do not really need to have a special diet.
In fact, the recommended
food for diabeticsis same for those without diabetes,
that is a balanced and healthy
diet. It should include necessary
proteins, fats and
carbohydrates
that the body needs.
Basically, it ought to be low in fat, low in sugar & salt
and avoid a high calorie intake.
Lifestyle changes
Reduce stress this can raise your blood sugars
long term and raise your blood pressure
(which can make any damage on your heart
and blood vessels worse)
Go easy on the alcohol – alcohol is toxic in its
own right; you need to stay as healthy as you can be without added
pressure on your body from too much alcohol.
Go easy on fast
foods (they contain bad fats,
they are high in
sugars, usually contain no fibre and raise your blood sugars
real fast and for a long time.
Try not to go a day where you miss some
exercise (walking on the spot, squats on a chair, use an
exercise bike,
walk down the road, up a hill, swim, do some light weights).
Exercise
You need exercise, and you need to move
around daily – your muscles get conditioned and this helps your
diabetes.
Try and lift weights sometimes – building
muscle can then help burn the sugars in your blood stream.
Education
If you have
diabetes, or think you may soon get diabetes,
see a
diabetes educator- get a referral from
your doctor. He’ll know if your a dope and
set you straight with
some beginner’s information. If your a genius,
you will still learn something.
A GP doesn’t have all day to chit chat.
A
diabetes educator will fill you in
Read about topics of interest on the internet.
Buy a diabetes book – there are many on the internet
Health Checkups
You need to get your eyes checked yearly
(minimum, as you can lose some of your eyesight).
Feet – ooh feet. If you have
diabetes for a
long time (or even if you have strong
diabetes for a short time),
your feet can get sick.
especially if you get a cut or sore, it can be
hard to heal itself.
Plus, with
diabetes, after a while, your nerves worsen, and it it is possible
that you cannot actually feel the cut or sore.
Since you don’t know its there, you may ignore it and …….
..it can get worse and really bad without you
actually knowing. You need to check your feet
regularly for this.
You also need to get a professional to check your feet
properly at least once a year.
You need a minimum of 6 monthly checkups
of your blood (
sugar, cholesterol and
maybe other stuff like electrolytes) by your doctor.
It hardly hurts when they take the blood (if you don’t look)
Monitoring Glucose
Get a machine (it doesn’t hurt). About 40 bucks.
You need to know roughly what it is in the morning these days.
Keep a record for your GP.
2 hrs after eating
(always measure this)
Other rule is – it shouldn’t be high 2 hrs after a meal
(some people think it is best to be less than 119 mg/dl or 6.6 mmol;
or less than 141 – 180 mg/dl or 8-10 mmol, 2 hrs after
food is probably ok too)
1 hr after eating
(only measure this sometimes, like with new foods)
should not be too high only 1 hour after a meal
(less than 158 mg/dl or 8.8 mmol is best;
or less than 180 mg/dl or 10 mmol at a minimum is probably ok).
If you want to get it lower – eat less carbs per meal.
Alot of fats plus
carbs can push it up too.
Protein plus a little
carbs (best from veggies),
plus some (a little) fat and no pure sugar
(in drinks,
sweets, desserts, and other things) is best.
If its easily digested – up goes the
blood sugars:
whiteflour, pure sugars, and no real fibre.
Don’t forget,
exercises gets it down straight away
20 – 30 min exercise (up to 2 hrs before having a meal; or 10 -20 min light
exercise
when you finish a meal, also has a beneficial effect). Check with your doctor
if you haven’t exercised for a while.
Your body needs ‘hard
to digest
food’, if you
want to keep your blood sugars low – fruit (not fruit juice);
brown (whole wheat) bread;
whole wheat cereals (not
sugary ones);
no potatoes too (they are too easy to digest -
up go
blood sugars).
Proteins with minimum fats are great, especially
white meat – fish, chicken and turkey.
There's no doubt about it, losing fat the traditional way is tough,
arduous and stressful.
And the really hard part is knowing what work and what doesn't,
especially with so many con-artists and snake-oil salesmen around,
trying to sell you the "next big thing" or "revolutionary new diet
pill".
Luckily, there is one system proven to reduce fat. A proven path to
fat loss that you can rely on,...
... whether you have the time or patience for the traditional fat
loss methods or not.

Incredible fat loss power of up to 42 lbs - and consistent appetite
supression.

Eat a handful of nuts a day. They are so healthy.
With a meal they also stop
blood sugars rising too quick.
Not too many, you will put in weight!!!
Flour.
Don’t eat white
flour. Use wholegrain
flour.
Feet
Moisturise feet whenever you remember.
This helps them a bit, and protects the skin.
Blood Pressure.
Buy a machine, a check it once a week.
Cocoa Powder
Cocoa is good for you (like red wine).
Rich in antioxidants.But not too much, and no sugar !
Testing blood sugars with a meter
Best time to test is
when you awake
before breakfast
2 hours after eating
bedtime
Smoking – Quit
Stress
No stress. It’s a killer !Learn to manage it – breathe deeply,
change your work patterns, get some advice or help!
BE AWARE OF STRESS! It can increase
blood sugars!
Food
Try to eat products that are wholegrain.
These will not increase
blood sugars so much as
non-wholegrain products.
Wholegrain
breads, flour, cereals,
crackers, crisps are available in wholegrain varieties.
Fruit Juice
No fruit juices from the shop – especially with added
sugars !
Eat raw fruit.
TeethBrush teeth twice a day.
Floss regularly (buy a flosser with a handle to help!)
High
blood sugars help cause gum disease.
Take care of your teeth and see your dentist regularly.
Vitamin D and SunshineSunshine helps your body make Vitamin D.
Get 20 min a day (but not between 11-4 in summer).
Vitamin D helps your immune system
and general health.
Relax?
Learn relaxation methods
Cinnamon might help lower blood glucose. Cinnamon helps with
insulin action in the body.CAUTION: Cinnamon may increase
the risk of bleeding when taken with drugs that
increase the risk of bleeding. Some examples include aspirin,
anticoagulants (“blood thinners”) such as warfarin (Coumadin®) or
heparin,
anti-platelet drugs such as clopidogrel (Plavix®), and non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) such as ibuprofen (Motrin®, Advil®)
or naproxen (Naprosyn®, Aleve®).Source: http://www.wellness.com/reference/food/cinnamon-cinnamomum-spp/dosing-and-safety
Ground Ginger might help lower blood glucose.
Ginger helps with digestion and helps
food move down along
the digestive system quicker.
Ground Ginger from the supermarket is convenient.
But Tea made with fresh slices of ginger (5 min brew) is also fine.
CAUTION: Because ginger increases bile flow, it is contraindicated
in people with gallstonesSource: http://www.yourhealth.com.au/information-on-natural-medicine-herbs-detail.php?name=Ginger
PotatoesInstead of mashed
potatoes, have mashed cauliflower.
You can’t eat potatoes!
You can eat a sweet potato in place of a white
potato: they are low on the glycemic index scale.
Cholesterol
Exercise reduces it. 20 min walk 3-4 times a week good.
40 min even better.

Desserts after dinner/ Cakes at birthdays/ SweetsEver wondered where
all that extra weight came from over the years?
Probably from all those big servings of
sweets.
JUST A SMALL SPOONFULL PLEASE!
Footcare
Never walk barefoot. Never. Ever!
Sleep8 Hours a night please as part of a healthy
lifestyle is a must.
FibreTaken 20 min before a meal (for example Metamucil),may help
with blood glucose levels from going too high after food. Take
fibre supplements regularly.
FruitAs mentioned, eat
food with a low Glycaemic Index.Learn the Glycaemic (GI)
Index tables, and which fruits increase
blood sugar (the fruits with the biggest numbers are the
worst!). Eat in moderation.
Fruit Juice
Avoid all fruit juices. Always eat fruits raw and as whole pieces,
never juiced. Blood
sugar rises more slowly this way.
Food
Diabetics dont have a special DIET. They just have a BALANCED Diet,
but need to watch which foods they can eat, they need to watch
portion size, and how they combine
foods.
Footcare
Make sure footwear does not damage feet.
Wear socks and comfortable fitting shoes.
Sweets and Deserts
These can be eaten as part of a BALANCED DIET.
Very small quantities please.

Lower Blood Sugar Tips Lower Blood Sugar Tips
Diet
Change Eating habits.
Diet and Exercise
changes will lower your
blood sugar. It’s a fact!
Weight loss
Increased Belly fat affects your
blood sugar levels.
Reduce belly fat for lower
blood sugar levels!
ExerciseEven 2 hours before or after a meal helps reduce blood
glucose.Even a 10 minute walk.Right after a meal a slow
‘stroll’ helps compensate for lack of insulin in Type 2s.
Talk to your doctor first!
Sugar
Brown sugar is not a healthy alternative (like brown
rice or brown
flour)
Food
Learn the Glycaemic Index (GI) value of
foods.
Eat foods with a LOW GI index value!!
This will help get your blood sugars down.See the ‘Glycaemic Index’
Page on this site.
Meal Spacing
Don’t eat all your
food in one or two big meals.
Eat more meals, smaller meals, spaced several hours apart.
Buy A Meter
If you search the web, you may even find one for free.
See which foods raise your
blood sugar levels the most.
Measure 2 hours after the START of a meal.
Look around this site for the numbers and
blood sugar levels you should aim for.
You dont have to measure all the time: one day
measure at lunch, on another day at dinner time, and on
another day breakfast time.This is what you should aim for
Fasting
blood sugar (glucose) of
4 – 7 mmol/l (72-126 mg/dl) (when you wake up)
Your blood glucose levels before meals should be between 4 and 7
mmol/l (72-126 mg/dl)
2 After the START OF meals: preferred levels are less
than 10 mmol/l or less than 180 mg/dl
To achieve very good
control (HbA1c
of 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
of less than 6.0 mmol/l (108 mg/dl )
and after-meal levels (2 hours after a meal) of less than 8.0
mmol/l (141 mg/dl).
Restaurant Eating
Try grilled fish, salads, bbq chicken with salad or vegetables,
steak and salad, seafood salad, scrambled eggs, poached eggs, pizza
- 1 slice of vegetarian if you really must,; sauces can be loaded
with fats and
sugars; ask for olive oil or vinegar dressings on salads
Meter
Wash hands before testing for
blood sugars. You may have traces of
food on your hands, which may contain
sugars. So you will get a higher (wrong) reading.
Not alcohol please, just mild soap and water.
Coffee
Reduce it, drink decaf, or even none at all!
It can raise
blood sugars.
Oil
Olive oil is a healthy option. Also healthy are avocados, raw nuts
and seeds such as peanuts and cashews. Not too much please
(remember, they are fats!).
Eat a few nuts daily.
Oil
Avoid eating foods which contain trans fats in the food label.
Olive oil DOES NOT contain TRANS FATS.
Meals
No big heavy meals please.
Break up your meals into smaller frequent meals, preferably 3 times
a day.
So
blood sugar levels will not rise too high!
High Blood Sugars in the Morning
Eat less at night time.
Exercise a bit at night.
Stress
Stress causes the liver to dump more
sugar into the bloodstream. Reduce it any way you can: help,
relaxation techniques, walk/exercise, get help.
Exercise
Resistance training and weight training increase muscle mass. This
leads to muscle ‘burning’ more
sugars on a daily basis. It also increases insulin
sensitivity (makes the insulin work better). Check with your Doctor
first!
WEIGHT LOSS
If you lose weight, your blood sugar levels will also
fall.Lose only 10% of your body weight and decrease your risk of
dangerous complications !
Sugar Substitutes
Use these instead of
sugar if you must.
A
dietician can advise the ideal ones.
Food
Golden Rule : ALWAYS have carbohydrates
mixed with protein (even better, add a LITTLE fat
as well !)
This stops blood sugars rising to quick.
FoodsA LITTLE bit of fat (oil, cheese, butter), vinegar (acidity)
and nuts (just a few) stop blood glucose from going too high after a
high
carbohydrate meal.
FoodsEat
food with a low Glycaemic Index.Learn the Glycaemic (GI)
Index tables, and which
foods increase blood sugar (the
foods with the numbers are the worst!)See the Page on site
called: ‘Glycaemic Index’
See the Page on site called: ‘Diet In
Diabetes’
Exercise
A bit here, 20 minutes, a bit there, another 10 minutes, it all
adds up and the end. Aim for 20 min to 1 hour a day !
Alcohol
In moderation or small amounts only please.
Exercise
A light 10 – 20 min casual stroll after meals can help keep after
meal blood sugars down.
Processed Meats
Minimise consumption please, especially hot dogs, bacon, salami or
sausage. White meat (chicken, turkey) or fish only please.
Soft Drinks
Stop drinking these.
Fasting Blood Sugars
Keep these low. So your
blood sugar levels won’t go so high after a meal.
Fats
Reduce animal fat consumption, found in meats, cheese and dairy
products. Get your fats from these (plant) sources – such olive
oil, nuts and avocados.
Carbohydrates
BAD: Reduce the consumption of ‘simple’
carbohydrates like white
flour
bread and white
rice.GOOD: Try brown (wholemeal
bread) or brown
rice. GOOD: Increase the consumption of complex
carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates are slow to digest and have a
low glycemic index.
BAD: ‘simple’
carbohydrates: Table
sugar Corn syrup Fruit juice Candy Cake Bread made with
white flour Pasta made with white
flour Soda pop, such as Coke®, Pepsi®, Mountain Dew®, etc.
Candy All baked goods made with white flour Most packaged cereals.
Food
Please, no
potatoes, pizza, doughnuts,
chips french fries, fried chicken, processed foods (even
those containing vegetables), pies, cakes, white
flour goods, and products containing sugar.
Remember, eat complex
carbohydrates, wholegrain food products
(wholemeal/wholegrain
bread), wholemeal
flour, brown
rice, and you can eat
foods with a low GI (Glycaemic Index Value). Fish, chicken
and many vegetables (see above) are good.
Fibre
Eat fibre rich foods. This delays
sugar absorption into your bloodstream.
Water
Drink water. It dilutes the blood, lower blood sugar,
so Never be dehydrated!
Food
Avoid processed
foods.
They are high fat, high salt, usually high sugar. They are usually
low fibre. These will raise
blood sugars.
Food
Avoid FAST
foods.
They are high fat, high salt, usually high sugar. They are usually
low fibre. These will raise blood sugars.
Food
Add vinegar to salads etc.
This delays digestion and reduces rises in blood sugar.
Macaroni and cheese cooked with fat-free evaporated milk, low
fat cheese, and egg substitute
Mashed
potatoes made with trans-fat free margarine and fat-free
milk, or replace part of the potato with pureed cauliflower
Meatloaf made with ground turkey and egg substitute
Beef stew made with round cut beef, fewer
potatoes, and more non-starchy vegetables like carrots,
onions, green beans, and spinach.
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 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.

Maintain a reasonable weight, lose weight if you are overweight, and get
moving -
have regular physical activity, and make
healthy food choices
(which helps with
weight loss and maintenance).
There is now substantial evidence that type 2 diabetes can beprevented or delayed.
Individuals at high risk of developingdiabetes
(those with pre-diabetes) can be identified easily. It is not yet known whether the successful interventions willcost-effectively reduce
the morbidity and mortality associatedwith diabetes. Diabetes prevention policies
that focus on
lifestylemodification, specifically
modest weight loss and
increased physical activity, are also very likely to have
additional healthbenefits.
Do People with Type 2 Always Deteriorate? Why doctors believe this
toxic myth.
The single most dangerous idea you are likely to encounter
as you begin your struggle to live a
healthy life with diabetes is the
belief
that science has proven, beyond a doubt, that no
matter what you
do, your Type 2 Diabetes will get worse.

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 sugar 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

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.
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 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.
For more information about exercise
and physical fitness, see:
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.
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.

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?
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
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.

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.
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.
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.
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).

(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.

Diabetics Become Obese? What Role Does U.S. Soil Play In The Diabetic Problem? Diabetics are at increased risk for mineral deficiencies
How Can
Type 2 Diabetics Recover From Their Illness?
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.
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
(5mmol/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.

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

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.
The Lifescripts initiative provides
general practice with tools and skills to help patients
address
the main lifestyle risk factors for chronic disease:
smoking; poor nutrition; alcohol misuse;
physical
inactivity; and unhealthy weight. The initiative
assists
with the provision of
tailored advice to patients on
modifying their lifestyle.
Lifescripts is a national initiative, being implemented
through local divisions of general practice,
promoting risk
factor
management in general practice and primary health
care services.
The Lifescripts Resources aim to make it easier for GPs and
their practices to manage
lifestyle-related risk factors by providing a framework for:
raising and discussing lifestyle risk factors with
patients;
advice in the form of a written script and
associated patient education; and
referral to other providers to support healthy
lifestyle.

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.
The first drug of choice to lower LDL cholesterol levels is usually a
"statin." Statins also have the
bonus effect of lowering
triglycerides as much as 35% and raising HDL levels 10%.

Type 2 Diabetes: Dealing with
Hypodermic Needles ! – It’s Not as Bad as You Think!
With over 20 million people
currently diagnosed with diabetes in the United States alone, there are
many people dealing with the daily rigors of treating their condition.
An unfortunate fact is that most of these people have to use hypodermic
needles to inject themselves with insulin several times daily. Since
nearly 10% of Americans suffer from trypanophobia (the fear of needles),
it is no wonder that these injections can be daunting and even
terrifying to
Diabetics. Dealing with hypos is essential to controlling
one’s insulin levels and must be mastered early on after diagnosis.
Though no one relishes the
prospect of pricking themselves daily with hypodermic needles initially,
many diabetics overcome their natural dread and actually become quite
used to the procedure. This is the most difficult, obviously, for those
with an innate fear of needles. Increased
blood pressure and heart rate
are common symptoms of those with fear of needles. No one is sure what
causes this phobia, though research indicates that it seems to be
inherited, as close to 80% of trypanophobiacs have a relative with the
same condition. It also has been theorized that this fear is a
potential evolutionary adaptation, as puncture wounds can frequently be
fatal.
The good news is that there is
help available for those with an intense fear of needles. Cognitive
behavioral theory, or replacing irrational negative thoughts with more
neutral or positive ones, has been shown to be highly effective.
Another form of dealing with hypos is systematic desensitization, a
process wherein which a person is taught relaxation skills then
gradually introduced to the feared needle. Hypnotherapy is another
successful method many have employed to deal with their needle phobia.
Maybe the best news of all is that ongoing research into needle-less
methods of testing blood
sugar and other medical procedures is very
promising and may soon be a viable alternative for
Diabetics.
One of the most critical aspects
of coping with injections is proper care, use, and disposal of
hypodermic needles. A diabetic must always ensure that they use a clean
needle, only use it once, and never share with anyone. A dirty or used
needle can transmit a whole host of diseases, many of them fatal.
Puncturing your skin with a non-sterile hypo can also cause many types
of infections. Safely dealing with hypos means that one should always
keep their needles out of the reach of children and pets, and always
dispose of used needles properly.
Many people diagnosed with type
2 diabetes are unsure initially how this will affect their daily lives.
Some fear it will result in a drastic change in their lifestyle,
including a loss of the ability to drive safely or even a loss of their
driver’s license. The good news is that most
Diabetics can still drive
safely if adequate precautions are taken and they practice safe habits.
Of course, whether or not driving and diabetes can mix should be first
discussed with a physician. Some diabetics experience extremely high or
low levels of
insulin states (hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia) with little
to no warning and therefore should be extra wary of driving.
One of the most important
factors in determining whether one can safely drive with diabetes is how
quickly they can recognize a low blood sugar condition and its
symptoms. One should always check their glucose levels prior to driving
and ask a physician how often they should check while driving. There
are several symptoms a person with Diabetes should look out for while
behind the wheel. Feeling sleepy, confused, or dizzy is often a first
sign that blood
glucose levels have dropped too low to safely operate a
vehicle. The worst possible scenario of driving and diabetes is a loss
of consciousness or seizure.
So what should one do if they
feel any of these symptoms coming on? This is where proper planning
ahead of time may save lives. The first step is to pull over as soon as
safely possible. There should be something available in the car to
treat the low, whether it is juice, candy, soda, or glucose tablets. If
one is experiencing these symptoms, their mind may be not thinking
clearly, so the items for treating the low should be placed
conspicuously and within easy reach.
There are only a handful of
complications that would absolutely preclude a person with diabetes from
driving safely. In some extreme cases, blindness is a result of the
condition, and one should stop driving as soon as visual degradation
begins. Some diabetic patients experience nerve damage in their
extremities, which can lead to tingling, loss of sensation, and
ultimately even amputation. As always, one’s treating physician is
always the best judge of whether driving and diabetes are a good mix.
Most doctors are happy to assist in evaluating each patient’s individual
condition and symptoms to accurately make a safe judgment.

Living With Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 Diabetes: Driving And
Taking Insulin – How Much Risk is Involved?
Many people diagnosed with type
2 diabetes are unsure how this will affect their lifestyle, and are
especially concerned that the mixture of driving and taking insulin will
result in a loss of the ability to drive safely or even lead to
mandatory forfeiture of their driver’s license. Many studies indicate,
however, that most type 2
Diabetics can still drive safely while on
insulin if adequate precautions are taken and they practice safe
habits. All diabetics contemplating driving should first check with
their doctor. Some insulin patients can arrive at low blood sugar
levels with little or no warning, so should consider all factors before
attempting to drive.
Once you get the all clear from
your doctor, there are a few legal steps you must take to cover all your
bases. Unfortunately, different states have different requirements as to
what you must report to them regarding driving and taking
insulin.
California, for instance, requires that you must inform them if you take
insulin injections or tablets. Most states do not have this
requirement, and instead require notification only after a medical
incident related to Diabetes occurs. The risks of sleepiness,
dizziness, and confusion are very real for the diabetic suffering from a
low
blood sugar condition.
Even more worrisome is the
possibility of loss of consciousness or seizures while behind the
wheel. Due to this fact, most state departments of motor vehicles
compel physicians to report any dangerous medical conditions. Most
physicians will not report a patient’s insulin use unless there is a
history of blackouts. Once reported, a diabetic patient can potentially
resume driving and taking insulin once a specific period of time passes
without a recurrence of a blackout. The best course of actions is to
check with the DMV in your state for their requirements and guidelines.
If you are one of the lucky
Diabetics who has not experienced blackouts and your doctor has cleared
you to drive, you should still practice caution and plan ahead. Driving
and taking insulin requires that you prepared for a low sugar event by
keeping your
insulin in your vehicle and close at hand. If you
experience dizziness or sleepiness, pull over as soon as is safely
possible and correct the condition. Checking your blood
sugar levels
prior to driving is essential, as is checking the levels while you are
driving. Your physician can assist you in determining how frequently
you should stop and test while behind the wheel.

Type 2 Diabetes Weight Loss
Type 2 Diabetes: Fat Around the Belly: Causes Insulin Resistance!! – Why
Winning the Battle of the Bulge is Crucial
All diabetics learn early on
that weight management is a crucial piece of the puzzle when it comes to
maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Excess fat or obesity can lead to many
diabetes related complications and make controlling the disease
especially difficult. Of particular concern is excess abdominal weight,
as fat around the belly causes insulin resistance. This breeds a
vicious cycle, where the
insulin resistance then contributes to
accumulation of even more belly fat. Losing this “spare tire” some
carry around their middle is extra difficult for those with diabetes,
but vital to their well-being.
So why should you be concerned
that fat around the belly causes insulin resistance and what does the
term mean? Insulin is vital in converting the sugars in the foods we
eat to usable energy. When is cannot be efficiently absorbed by the
cells, the body produces more of it, which throws the balance off
further. This causes your body to then burn muscle for energy instead
of the fuel from the foods you eat. As this condition, also known as
metabolic syndrome, progresses insulin resistance increases and further
prevents existing belly fat from being burned as energy and even more
fat is stored.
Since increasing insulin
resistance is a dangerous condition for diabetics, losing that belly fat
should be a top priority for anyone who possesses one. Unfortunately,
excess fat stored around the mid-section is some of the hardest to
lose. Since fat around the belly causes
insulin resistance, a diet that
helps to lower insulin levels is an excellent first step. Avoiding
caffeine and chocolate helps many people with diabetes lower insulin
levels, which they find has a positive effect on the amount of fat being
stored by their bodies. Choosing foods low on the Glycemic Index is
also an effective weapon in the battle against belly fat.
As well as paying close
attention to what goes into your body, you should also pay heed to how
well you are treating yourself. Moderate activity or exercise has been
shown use the glucose existing in your blood and lower sugar levels.
The fact that fat around the belly causes insulin resistance should also
prompt you to examine other improvements in your lifestyle, such as
getting proper sleep and reducing stress. Not getting enough sleep
prevents your body from regulating itself correctly, and stress has been
proven to have a deleterious effect on blood sugar levels.

Type
2 Diabetes Sugar
Type 2 Diabetes: How to Lower
After Meals Glucose – Simple Steps to a Better Level
Once thought unimportant, an
after meals glucose test is now recommended for most
Diabetics. Even
slightly high
glucose levels after eating are associated with an
increased risk of eye damage, heart disease and many other diabetes
related illnesses. Feeling sleepy or excessively tired after eating is
a definite sign that one should be administering this test. Often those
who perform the test and find high
sugar levels are unsure how to lower
after meals glucose. Most of the solutions are relatively simple, but
often require that the diligent diabetic do some experimentation to find
the method or combination of methods that work best for them.
Many times the reason for an
elevated glucose level after a meal is the food selection. Eating fewer
carbohydrates during the meal can be an easy way to have a significant
effect. It is not recommended that carbs be eliminated altogether, but
they can often be reduced with excellent results. Switching to foods
with a lower Glycemic Index will ensure that the sugars are released
into the bloodstream more slowly, and are a helpful way to lower after
meals glucose. Milk, pasta, and yogurt are examples of foods that have
a slower release of sugars and could be substituted.
If your doctor approves it, ten
to twenty minutes of moderate exercise can also be a valuable tool to
lower after meals glucose. Heart patients should not exercise
immediately after eating, but most diabetes patients can handle a
moderate workout. Light exercise is obviously best after eating, but
even something as simple as taking a short walk with the family dog can
educe large benefits. Exercise also has the added benefit of helping to
keep body weight in line and stress levels low, which are critical
factors for all diabetics to manage their condition.
If experimentation with all of
the above methods does not improve your test results, it may be time to
go talk to your doctor. There are numerous medications available, and
your physician can work with you to help find the right one for you. If
you go this route, be sure to take the medications as prescribed and on
time. A missed or late dose can easily result in a high sugars
reading. Your doctor may also be able to go through your
blood sugar
records and spot Dietary patterns that can lead to simple solutions to
lower your after meals glucose.

Managing Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 Diabetes: Tips And Tricks – Make a Healthy Lifestyle a Habit!
Once diagnosed with diabetes,
proper care and vigilance is essential. No other disease has so many
variables in its treatment and maintenance, and often experimentation is
needed to find a regimen that works for you. Attention to everything
from diet to exercise to blood
sugar level monitoring all must become a
part of a
Diabetic’s lifestyle. Even as onerous and daunting a task as
that may sound, there are many tips and tricks discovered by diabetics
over the years available to make life with this disease a long and
healthy one.
Diabetes comes with a risk of
many health complications. Therefore, among the most important tips and
tricks a diabetic can use is paying extra attention to any changes in
their physical well-being. For instance, Diabetes can often lead to
problems with the feet, including decreased sensation, infections, and
nerve damage. Excess weight, ill-fitting shoes, and going barefoot can
all contribute to or accelerate these conditions. Gum disease is also a
common problem for
Diabetics, so regular dental checkups are a must.
Since blindness is also a real possibility in diabetics, eye
examinations should become a routine part of your healthcare regimen.
One of the most effective ways
to manage diabetes is with proper diet and exercise. Since a steady
release of food sugars into the bloodstream is ideal, it is a good idea
to eat smaller meals and snacks throughout the day rather than a few
small meals. Eating the same amounts of food daily is also a critical
component to a healthy lifestyle. One of the tips and tricks often
overlooked is exercise. Among the many benefits of being physically
active is reduced risk of obesity, better circulation, and stress
relief. Adding a method of stress relief such as yoga or meditation is
also a popular way for diabetics to manage their disease.
The vigilance required by a
Diabetic is most important when monitoring symptoms of their blood sugar
rising too high or dropping too low. While proper medications can help
prevent these situations in most cases, it is helpful to have a few tips
and tricks up your sleeve to deal with them should they arise. Many
diabetics keep juices handy at all times, including apple and orange.
Hard candy, and soda with sugar (no Diet drinks) can also help bring
your
glucose levels back within healthy range quickly. Be sure to keep
these items anywhere you may need them, including your desk at work and
your car.

Diabetes Type 2 Blood Sugar
Type
2 Diabetes: Tips to Lower Fasting Blood Sugar – Tips to Control This
Important Level
One of the most critical tests
for a diabetic is the fasting
bloodsugar. This is a glucose level that
is taken in the morning, usually after 8 hours or more of fasting. Some
people find that their levels are consistently low and some people’s
counts fluctuate wildly. In either case there are a number of simple
tips to lower fasting blood sugar that can bring this important number
into the acceptable range. These levels can be greatly affected by a
number of factors that most
Diabetics aren’t even aware of.
The first tip to lower fasting
blood sugar is to add or modify a bedtime snack. When we are not
eating, the liver releases sugar into the bloodstream as a fuel for our
bodies. Sometimes, particularly in type 2 diabetes, the liver can
overcompensate and pump out too much sugar. By having a bedtime snack
rich in carbohydrates, one can often prevent this from occurring. It is
important to experiment with what and how much you snack on. Small
changes in the amount of food consumed can often lead to large changes
in fasting blood
sugar levels. What you eat is also important, as junk
food can exacerbate a high sugar count.
Many diabetes patients find that
evening exercise does wonders for their morning blood sugar level. A
person with diabetes should always check with their doctor before
beginning any exercise regimen, but even moderate exercise for a short
period can be an effective way to lower fasting
blood sugar. Many are
surprised to learn that a twenty minute stroll around the block is a
helpful tip to lower blood fasting sugar. Engaging in exercise also has
the added benefit of assisting in a good night’s sleep, which is also
useful in helping to bring about healthy
sugar levels.
A last factor in managing
fasting blood sugar levels, and Diabetes in general, is stress
reduction. It cannot be overemphasized how critical the relationship is
between mind and body. Stress actually causes your liver to release
sugars and create hormones that work against insulin. In addition, high
stress levels increase blood pressure and shave a significant
deleterious effect on the health of your heart. Among the most
rewarding tips for lowering fasting blood sugar could be the addition of
some form of meditation or stress release. These will help bring mind
and body into harmony, and could add years to your life.

Controlling Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 Diabetes: You Take Medications: But You Still Need To Watch it!! -
How Lifestyle Changes Can Complement Diabetes Medications
Most people with diabetes today
are able to live healthy and normal lives due to the medications that
they are prescribed. But due to the complexity of the disease and the
risks involved, even if you take medications you still need to watch it.
Becoming complacent and assuming that medication alone will conquer
your diabetes and its symptoms is a dangerous gamble. The good news is
that there are countless simple ways you can adjust your daily life to
assist in the treatment of your diabetes. One these techniques become a
part of your normal routine, you will be well on your way to managing
the condition.
Even after working closely with
your physician and settling on the proper medications and dosages, a
steadfast attention to diet must be a focus in your treatment. Even
though you take medications, you still need to watch your food intake,
as it plays a vital role in blood sugar levels. Most diabetics will find
that they must experiment with their diet to find a routine that helps
alleviate symptoms of Diabetes. Eating smaller meals more frequently
and consuming the same amounts of food daily are habits most diabetics
find helpful. Substituting foods low on the Glycemic Index and avoiding
caffeine are outstanding habits to develop.
Another battle many
Diabetics
face is striking a balance in the amount of physical activity they
engage in. If your doctor feels you are healthy enough for exercise, it
is highly recommended. Among the many benefits of being
physically active is reduced risk of obesity, better circulation, and
stress relief. If you take medications, you still need to watch your
stress levels as well. Adding a method of stress relief such as yoga or
meditation is also an easy way for diabetics to manage their symptoms.
For a diabetic, maintaining an
overall healthy lifestyle while living with the disease is certainly
challenging, but easier than ever these days. There are a multitude of
medications available that your doctor can prescribe. Carefully
following the instructions for taking these meds is indeed mandatory for
diabetes sufferers. If you are one of the diabetes patients who do take
medications, you still need to watch it. Ignoring symptoms of low
bloodsugar such as sleepiness, dizziness, or blurred vision can lead to
potentially life-threatening conditions including loss of consciousness,
seizures, and even coma. Vigilance is compulsory, but the reward is a
long and healthy life.

Treating Diabetes Type 2
Type
2 Diabetes: Natural Cures Versus Medications – Is Natural The Way To Go?
Over 20 million people in the
United States are currently diagnosed with diabetes, with 90% or more
suffering from type 2 diabetes. With the surge of interest in the last
decade or so in herbal, holistic, and all-natural remedies, it is only
natural that many would seek out these types of treatments for the
control of Diabetes. There exists an entire industry dedicated to the
proposition that natural cures are every bit as effective as medications
prescribed by a doctor. From herbs and vitamins to other less
conventional cures, there is a plethora of information out there to
digest.
The decision to attempt natural
cures versus medications is one that should be made with great caution.
Since diabetes is a potentially life-threatening disease, one should
always check with their physician before trying any natural cures.
Before beginning any natural regimen, inform your doctor to avoid any
potential interactions between herbs and supplements with medications
you may currently be taking. Any natural cures you endeavor to try
should also be used only as a supplement you your doctor-prescribed
medications, not as a replacement. Any unusual symptoms or worsening of
condition while trying natural cures should be reported immediately to
your physician.
One of the most popular avenues
people may take in the quest for natural cures versus medications are
supplements. Magnesium is a mineral that occurs naturally in some
vegetables and nuts. Magnesium is needed to help regulate blood sugar
levels, and magnesium deficiency may be a factor in poor blood glucose
control. Ginseng is another popular supplement that is thought to help
improve blood sugar control. Zinc is vital in the production and
storage if insulin, and is taken as a supplement by many type 2
Diabetics. Cinnamon is also being studied as a potential aid in
reducing fasting blood glucose levels.
There are other forms of natural
cures out there that may seem a bit far-fetched, but are being studied
further after initial successes. One such treatment is hot tub
therapy. In a 1999 study, some patients who were immersed in a hot tub
daily for three weeks were able to cut their required insulin intake by
18%. Other participants saw a decrease in
blood pressure, modest
weight loss, and improved blood sugar readings. A Japanese study in
natural cures versus medications recently explored the positive effects
of Aloe Vera on blood glucose levels. Initial results were promising,
and research is continuing.

Information On Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 Diabetes: World Diabetes
Day! Yes, But What Is It? – Background On This Important Celebration
November 14th of each
year is a very significant date for the hundreds of millions of people
worldwide who now live with diabetes. This is the day recognized
globally as World Diabetes Day. The date was first celebrated in 1991,
when the World Health Organization and the International Diabetes
Federation created the awareness-raising commemoration. Since then, the
campaign has taken on even more significance with designation as an
official United Nations Day in 2007. This important day is used to
raise awareness of the global surge in people living with diabetes and
also to educate the public about the disease.
The day is marked by all member
nations of the United Nations, as well as a multitude of healthcare
companies, diabetes organizations, health professionals, and also those
suffering from the disease and their families. The date of November 14th
was chosen to celebrate World Diabetes Day to commemorate the birthday
of Frederick Banting, who is largely credited with the foundation of
ideas leading to the discovery of
insulin in 1922. Many organizations
and healthcare providers take advantage of the worldwide forum to
schedule free screenings and sponsor awareness-raising events such as
media interviews and press conferences.
Every year World Diabetes Day is
marked with a theme. Each theme is designed to call attention to and
raise awareness of a particular aspect of the disease and its treatment.
Past themes have included diabetes and foot care,
Diabetes in the
disadvantaged and vulnerable, and diabetes in children and adolescents.
The current theme to be celebrated for the years 2009 through 2013 is
diabetes education and prevention. This theme is seen as crucial to
helping millions worldwide understand the importance of healthy
lifestyles and be spared the suffering and ill effects of diabetes.
There are an estimated 300
million people worldwide now living with diabetes. Organizations such
as the World Health Organization and the International Diabetes
Federation are determined to use November 14th of each year
to educate as many people around the globe as possible about diabetes
and help prevent its spread. As societies around the world grow older
and less active and obesity rates skyrocket, it is estimated that as
many as 350 million people globally that are at risk of contracting type
2 Diabetes. With these sobering facts I mind, there can be no doubt that
there is more of a need than ever for an outstanding observance such as
Word Diabetes Day.
