White Flour Carbs

Carbohydrates in Food  (http://www.carbs-information.com/)

White Flour Carbs
Sugary carbs, especially table sugar (sucrose), used to be seen as causing adverse health effects for
diabetics and people with symptoms of impaired glucose tolerance or insulin insensitivity.
Although a high sugar diet can cause problems for these groups,
most nutritionists now view refined white flour foods (most of which have a high GI-value; and no fibre !!)
as causing more glycemic health problems, such as insulin resistance, and digestive disorders.

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.

Choosing a healthy lifestyle can help you improve your health and reduce your risk of heart disease and diabetes. Healthy lifestyles include eating a healthy diet, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, quitting smoking (or not starting), and minimizing stress. (Note: Specific guidance for maintaining a healthy lifestyle may change over time as new scientific recommendations become available.) Learn more about each of the factors that affect your lifestyle.   Eat a Healthy Diet   The Dietary Guidelines for Americans show how good dietary habits can promote health and reduce risk for major chronic diseases. A heart-healthy diet is one that is: nutritious and well-balanced low in saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, and salt high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains The Food Guide Pyramid and the Food Label are tools to help consumers make informed food choices in the context of a healthy diet. Use the Food Guide Pyramid to help you choose healthy foods each day.   Consumer Nutrition and Health Information FDA Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/lab-cons.html Nutrition MedlinePlus Health Information http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/nutrition.html Maintain a Healthy Weight Excess body fat leads to health problems such as Type ii Diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. Health professionals use a measurement called body mass index (BMI) to classify an adult's weight as healthy, overweight, or obese. BMI describes body weight relative to height and is correlated with total body fat content in most adults. To find your BMI, use the chart on this page or National Heart Lung and Blood Institute's BMI calculator.     http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/bmicalc.htm BMI range: 18.5-25 -- healthy range 25-30 - overweight 30 or higher -- obese Having excess abdominal body fat is also a health risk. Men with a waist of more than 40 inches around and women with a waist of 35 inches or more are at risk for health problems. More than 60 percent of U.S. adults are either overweight or obese, according to the Centers for Disease  Control and Prevention (CDC). While the number of overweight people has been slowly climbing since the 1980s, the number of obese adults has nearly doubled since then. Excess weight and physical inactivity account for more than 300,000 premature deaths each year in the United States, second only to deaths related to smoking, says the CDC. People who are overweight or obese are more likely to develop heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, gallbladder disease and joint pain caused by excess uric acid (gout). Excess weight can also cause interrupted breathing during sleep (sleep apnea) and wearing away of the joints (osteoarthritis). To lose weight, you must eat less and move more. Your body needs to burn more calories than you take in. For more information on losing weight, see: The Surgeon General's Call To Action To Prevent and Decrease Overweight and Obesity, 2001 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services: http://www.surgeongeneral.gov/topics/obesity/  Losing Weight: More Than Counting Calories (FDA Consumer Magazine, January-February 2002) http://www.fda.gov/fdac/features/2002/102_fat.html NHLBI Aim for a Healthy Weight http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/public/heart/obesity/lose_wt  Overweight and Obesity CDC Division of Nutrition and Physical Activity http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/obesity/  Obesity MedlinePlus Health Information http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/obesity.html 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.

Dietary Guidelines For Diabetics

There are general dietary guidelines that diabetes sufferers can follow to help keep their blood sugar levels under control:

Blood Vessels 

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

http://www.ndep.nih.gov/publications/#PubsPatCont Nearly 65 percent of people with diabetes will die from a heart attack or stroke; because of a lack of available information, two out of three people with diabetes are unaware of their heightened risk. In order for those with diabetes to stay heart healthy, having the most up-to-date information is crucial.  Now, there's a place where people can go for the latest resources that can help them control their diabetes, as well as monitor their blood pressure and cholesterol levels. When those with diabetes take steps to also ensure good cardiovascular health, they can live long, healthy lives.   The National Diabetes Education Program is a federally funded program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and includes over 200 partners at the federal, state, and local levels, working together to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with diabetes.

"My task is to give you an overview of treating Type ii Diabetes and of all the medications that we
 have at our disposal. Life has changed a lot through the years in terms of Type ii 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 ii 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."

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

Embrace your diabetes

Learning how to control Type ii Diabetes...take control

What is happening in Type ii Diabetes

First, there is a shortage of insulin

Second, there is insulin resistance.

Third, there are genes

These factors combine to cause Type ii Diabetes

Pattern of progression

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

Testing you sugar/glucose level
 

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

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

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

Metformin

Meglitinides

Gliclazide

Glitazones

Amaryl

Exenatide (Byetta) and Sitagliptin (Januvia)

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

Type ii 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.

How to cure Type ii Diabetes Book

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.

How to Lower Your Blood Sugar

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.

Fruit

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

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

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

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).

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.

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).

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.

Insulin and Obesity

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

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