Diabetes for Dopes !!

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.

  CAUTION
Do not try to self diagnose or treat yourself.
Always consult a medical practioner/healthcare provider.
Always advise them of your
- dietary changes
-changes in exercise or activity levels
-if you begin to take supplements (as these can interfere with your medicines)
  WEIGHT LOSS

Lose only 10% of your weight and decrease
your risk of dangerous complications !

  HELP YOURSELF
Diabetes is like aging 10 years. So do something.
  Lifestyle Changes
Changes in diet and exercise are more effective than drugs in lower blood sugar in Type 2 diabetes
  Support
Listen to people speak about interesting areas you should know about.
This is a great support Group if you don’t have one.http://diabetespowershow.com/
  Start Early
Tightly controlling your blood sugar levels soon after being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes can  lead to lower risks of  diabetes complications—including heart disease and death—years later.
  Exercise More
exercise doesn’t mean you need to join a gym – walk a bit to work,
park far from the shopping centre, take the stairs,
keep moving and be active,
that’s what the body was designed for !!
  Symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes
increased hunger
increased thirst
fatigue
increased urination, esp. at night
sores that do not heal
infections such as thrush or skin infections such as boils or fungal skin infections
blurred vision
burning, numbness or tingling in the feet or hands
weight loss
weight gain
irritability and mood changes
headaches
dizziness
ED
carpal tunnel syndrome and Bell’s Palsy (can be caused by high blood sugar)Symptoms of high blood sugar:
• Excessive hunger and/or thirst
• Weight loss
• Excessive urinationSymptoms of low blood sugar:
• Cool, clammy skin
• Hunger
• Numbness in your mouth
• Fluttering in your chest
• Feeling faint

Seek medical advice if you think you may have these symptoms

  Health Checks
You will need to have the following checks regularly:
Blood Pressure
Cholesterol
HbA1c ( sugars in the blood for the last 3 months)
Feet
Eyes
Kidney function (urine test for protein)
Teeth and Gums (high blood sugar can affect these)
  Exercise
Remember to exercise regularly
  Fats – bad
Dont consume trans fats.  They are toxic!
Look out for them in processed and fast foods.
  Food Labels
Learn to read them.  A Dietician can teach you.
  Exercise
1 or 2 Days later, the beneficial effects of exercise on Diabetes are lost.  So you need to continue exercise regularly – daily or several (4-5 times a week).
  Exercise
High blood pressure can make the effects of diabetes much much worse.Exercise also lowers blood pressure!
  Exercise
You should exercise 20-40 minutes everday.
Or, 5 days a week please.
Walking, jogging, cycling, swimming, dancing, tennis weight training and other activities with moving around!
  Family History
Dont ignore it !
If a family member has Type 2 diabetes, you may very well get it too.  Lifestyle is critical. Watch that creeping weight gain.  It can be an indicator that diabetes is on its way.  Ask your doctor what you need to do (basically follow this guide: eat healthy, exercise, lose weight
(and make sure you lose all fat in your stomach area).
  Family History
Tell your children, their children, and their children about the family risk of diabetes, and what they can do to start preventing it.
  Herbal, Vitamin or Nutritional Supplements
Some may be useful in helping to slightly lower or manage blood sugar in diabetes.
Best is to discuss this with an ‘alternative’ or complementary health practitioner.

Here's what this is about...

Fat Burning Furnace, written by Bob Polous, moves beyond traditional diets, unproven diet pills and low fat "fad diets".

This radical new approach doesn't focus on these fads and shortcuts to get results.

Instead, the unique system manipulates fat-loss hormones in your body and confuses your metabolism - so you can actually eat more often and still lose weight. There's no restrictive dieting here, just easy and consistent gains.

In fact, with an increased metabolism, you'll actually need more food and nutrition than usual - and you'll still be able to lose weight. It's a simple, step-by-step system, and you can get started with as little as 45 minutes exercise per week.

This program has allowed thousands of average people to keep the fat at bay, become more energised and looking better than ever. It also comes with an eight-week guarantee, for your piece of mind.

And when you consider that this new approach to losing weight has already sold tens of thousands of copies despite being less than a year old, its clear it comes with a proven pedigree.

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.

Examples of simple and complex carbohydrates

From http://www.howtothinkthin.com/instincts2.htm

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Control of Diabetes 2

Excellent Website !!  Read More ..........

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

 

Embrace your Diabetes 2

Learning how to control Diabetes 2...take control

What is happening in Diabetes 2

First, there is a shortage of insulin

Second, there is insulin resistance.

Third, there are genes

These factors combine to cause Diabetes 2

 

Pattern of progression

  1. At the beginning of Diabetes 2 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 2, 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 4 and 7 mmol/l (72-126 mg/dl)

  • remember, you still need tablets if you are ill; if you are being sick or cannot swallow the tablets,
    |let your doctor or nurse know.

  • occasionally test after meals (preferred levels less than 10 mmol/l) (180 mg/dl )

  • To achieve very good control (HbA1c 6.5-7.0%) you need a fasting pre-breakfast glucose
    less than 5.5 mmol/l (99 mg/dl ), pre-meal levels at other times less than 6.0 mmol/l (108 mg/dl )
    and after-meal levels (2 hours after a meal) less than 8.0 mmol/l (141 mg/dl).

  • These levels cannot be achieved in all patients..but if you are well and are prepared to stick to a healthy
    diet and exercise your medication should be adjusted to achieve these levels, even if that
    means starting insulin.

 

 

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

Metformin

Meglitinides

Gliclazide

Glitazones

Amaryl

Exenatide (Byetta) and Sitagliptin (Januvia)

If you need insulin, what type

Weight

Xenical and Rimonibant to help you lose weight

Rimonabant

Cholesterol, HDL, triglyceride

Typical Medication

Estimated Average Glucose (eAG)
http://www.diabetes.org/living-with-diabetes/treatment-and-care/blood-glucose-control/estimated-average-glucose.html

"Average glucose" will soon be a key part of your diabetes tool kit. Estimated Average Glucose (eAG) is a new way to understand how well you're managing your diabetes.

Using eAG may help you get a better idea of how well you are taking care of your diabetes.
And that can help you and your health care provider know what changes you may need
to make to be as healthy as possible.

    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.

    Diabetic - Weight Loss Q and A

     

     
    Diet

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

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

     

    Eat a Healthy Diet
     

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

    A heart-healthy diet is one that is:

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

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

     
    horizonal rule
    Maintain a Healthy Weight
     

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

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

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

    BMI range:

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

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

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

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

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

    For more information on losing weight, see:

    horizonal rule
    Exercise Regularly
     

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

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

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

    For more information about exercise and physical fitness, see:

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

    Facts about stress and coronary heart disease:

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

    For information on stress reduction, see:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Diabetic Food Pyramid

    The diabetic food pyramid is much like the regular food pyramid. The difference of course being
    that the diabetic food pyramid is designed to limit sugars in the diet.

    quickly it is cleared from the blood.
    The test is usually used to test for diabetes, insulin resistance,

    1. Does it contain carbohydrate?

    2. How much starch does it contain, and in what form?

    3. How much fibre does it contain?

    4. What kind of sugar does it contain?

    5. Does it contain fat?

    How does your glucose level compare with your HbA1c

    HbA1c %
    Average blood glucose level mg/dl
    Average blood glucose level mmol/l
    13 324 mg/dl 18 mmol/l
    12 306 mg/dl 17 mmol/l
    11 270 mg/dl 15 mmol/l
    10 234 mg/dl 13 mmol/l
    9 216 mg/dl 12 mmol/l
    8 180 mg/dl 10 mmol/l
    7 141 mg/dl 8 mmol/l
    6 125 mg/dl 7 mmol/l
    5 90 mg/dl 5 mmol/l

    HbA1c levels by coincidence nearly equate to glucose levels. So an HbA1c level of 10% means the average
    glucose level for the previous 10 weeks was 234 mg/dl (13 mmol/l ).

    But at lower levels there is even less difference, so an  HbA1c of 7% means the average glucose
    level was 141 mg/dl (8 mmol/l).

    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 glucose 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.

    In only three weeks time,
    the amount of cholesterol and free radicals in the test subjects' blood was lower and their nitric oxide levels
     were higher, which are all factors in stopping diabetes before it takes its toll on limbs and life.

    Hunger - Insulin can cause  it

    When there's too much insulin, blood sugar levels begin to fall (hypoglycemia), triggering a feeling of

    Reducing

    The Truth About Diabetes AltMedAngel.com

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

    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.

    Hunger

    Cure and Cause of Diabetes

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

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

    (weakness, sweating, cloudy thinking, lack of energy, hunger, shakiness).

     

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

    Fruit

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

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

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

    Insulin resistance

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

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

     

    Why identify the metabolic syndrome?

    Why does insulin resistance matter?

    Why not to measure insulin resistance

    Why does this debate matter?

    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).

     Type 2 Diabetes Information

    Type 2 Diabetes - What Is It?

    Type 2 diabetes is one form of a disease that happens when blood glucose levels go above normal and stay there. Diabetes in general occurs when the body doesn’t produce enough insulin. The body cells require insulin to break down glucose into energy. Without enough insulin, the body’s glucose levels begin to rise. That can lead to long-term damage to the muscles and nerves all over the body. There are usually two ways that Diabetes can develop. The first is when the pancreas stops producing insulin. Patients with this form have Type 1, or juvenile, diabetes. Most people with this form of diabetes develop it in childhood or as young adults.

     

    The second way diabetes form is when the cells of the body begin needing more and more insulin in order to convert glucose to energy. This condition, insulin resistance, can worsen over time. Over time, the pancreas reaches a point where it cannot produce enough insulin for the body. That causes glucose levels to rise. Patients with this form have Type 2 Diabetes, or adult onset. People with this form of diabetes develop it at any age from childhood through senior years. Diabetes can form in a third way as well. Some pregnant women cannot produce enough insulin as they get into the final months of pregnancy. Their blood glucose levels begin to rise. Patients with this form have gestational diabetes. This form usually disappears after the birth.

     

    Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. Who is vulnerable to getting this disease? It happens in many populations including African Americans, Native Americans, Asian Americans, Latino Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders. It is more prevalent as people begin to age. Those who are overweight can also be susceptible to the disease. Anyone in the general population can develop Type 2 under the right circumstances. It is a growing problem and health threat in the United States and in the Western World.

     

    What does Type 2 diabetes cost the United States every year? As of 2007, over 23 million people of all ages had diabetes in one form or the other. That is 7.8% of the total population. Every year over 1.5 million people get a new diagnosis for Diabetes. In 2005, diabetes directly caused or contributed to the deaths of over 233,000 people in the country. When everything factors in, it costs over $200 billion each year in medical and non-medical costs.

     Type 2 Diabetes Symptom

    Type 2 Diabetes – Symptoms

    The symptoms of type 2 diabetes often do not appear for years. They build gradually and don’t become apparent until they reach critical levels. If you have a family history of diabetes or are severely overweight, be on the lookout for these symptoms. The first one to consider is frequent urination and increased thirst. Your body automatically flushes the excess glucose out through the urine. As the glucose builds, the kidneys increase the amounts of urine to keep up. Urination requires fluids. The kidneys begin drawing on the body cells to keep the fluid levels up. This causes the increased thirst and the increased urges to urinate.

     

    Another symptom set of type 2 diabetes is increased hunger and unexplained weight loss. Glucose is a major energy source cells use. They use insulin to convert the glucose into energy. With cells not converting the glucose efficiently, the cells call for more energy in the form of food. This triggers the increased hunger needs. Now, on the other hand, no matter how much extra you eat, your body’s cells are not getting the energy and nutrients they need. That triggers them to look elsewhere for energy. They begin to draw on the body’s stored fat for energy. They also can draw on the muscle cells. This begins an unexplained drop in weight.

     

    As the body begins to deal with the excess glucose and lost energy, it begins to affect other parts of the body. With Type 2 Diabetes, common symptoms include fatigue, blurred vision, sores that heal slowly, and more infections than normal. As the cells fight to get energy, it causes a person to feel depleted and tired. As the kidneys draw on the body’s fluids for urination, it depletes the amount of fluids in the eyes. This can lead to blurry vision. The fight for energy makes the body’s immune system begin to diminish. A small sore can take weeks to heal due to the depressed immunity. It also lets small common infections get out of control.

     

    A common symptom that type 2 Diabetes patients report are velvety dark skin patches in the folds of the body under the arm, in the groin area and around the neck. These patches go by the name of acanthosis nigricans. It is actually a marker to physicians that something may be wrong in the body. Keep your eye out for these symptoms to catch the disease before it becomes critical.

     Type 2 Diabetes Info

    Type 2 Diabetes – Causes

    Dealing with Type 2 diabetes means you need to understand the underlying causes. With a healthy system, the body turns food into glucose and sends it to the body’s cells. The body’s cells use this glucose as energy. However, in order for the cells to convert the glucose to energy, they need insulin. The pancreas releases insulin as needed. The insulin travels to the cells and there it helps convert glucose into energy the cells can use. That is how everything should work.

     

    In those that have Type 2 diabetes, something is not working properly. The cells of the body begin needing more and more insulin to convert the same amount of glucose. This condition goes by the name of insulin resistance. For a short while, the pancreas increase production to keep up with the increased demand. However, at some point, the pancreas cannot keep up the pace. That is when the glucose levels begin to rise in the blood stream. After awhile, the body cannot deal with the elevated glucose levels.

     

    Now, what causes the insulin resistance that leads to Type 2 Diabetes? The most prevalent causes are obesity and lack of physical activity. In fact, it is the reason for over 90% of new cases diagnosed every year. Recent research may have uncovered one reason why obese people have such a high prevalence of the disease. In studies with mice, researchers found a new hormone produced by fat cells. They dubbed this new hormone, resistin. In mice that were obese, the amount of resistin in the blood rose dramatically. In mice that were not, the amounts were far lower. Resistin appears to increase the body’s cells resistance to insulin. Why or how this happens is currently unknown. Research is ongoing at this point.

     

    Genetics definitely play a role in Type 2 diabetes, however. Children with parents that have it are very likely to develop it themselves. With the right Diet and exercise, most can avoid the consequences of the disease even if they have a genetic predisposition towards the disease. What are some other causes? Aging is another risk factor for developing the disease. Those over 45 have an increasing risk. Those over 65 have a significant risk of the disease. Other links to those developing this form of Diabetesinclude a history of gestational diabetes, polycystic ovary disease, or vascular disease. Having knowledge is the first step to successfully managing and treating this disease.

     Cure For Type 2 Diabetes

    Type 2 Diabetes - Is There A Cure?

     

    Is there a cure for Type 2 Diabetes? According to the dictionary, cure means to end a disease, illness, or disorder with medical treatment. If you use that definition, then, no, there is no cure for adult onset diabetes. There is nothing in medical science at this time that will completely end the disease through medical treatments. However, in many patients, studies have show that it is reversible and manageable. Many people develop the disease because of a sedentary lifestyle and obesity. By changing those facts, the disease will often become less severe and in some cases disappear. Many patients make changes to their Diet and begin exercising. Within a short period, the symptoms of their diabetes begin to diminish.

     

    Is exercise and diet changes the cure for type 2 Diabetes? The answer is unfortunately no. There are some patients that get to the point where managing their diabetes through exercise and Diet is not enough. They need to take insulin intravenously to keep their glucose levels in check. Fortunately, there have been vast improvements in diabetes treatments over the years. New drugs are in development that helps regulate how the body deals with insulin resistance. Insulin treatment is less invasive than in years prior.

     

    The best cure for any disease, including type 2 diabetes, is preventing it in the first place. If you are overweight or have a family history of the disease, it is important to keep your eyes peeled for any development of common symptoms. It is even more important to take steps to avoid developing the disease. Making changes in Diet and exercise will often keep the disease from developing in the first place. Have regular blood screenings to see if you have developed the disease or have pre-diabetes. By doing the work up front, you can avoid doing the work later to manage the disease.

     

    What is on the horizons for a cure for Type 2 Diabetes? Several studies underway hold promise in the future. The focus of much of the research is finding a way to reverse the body’s insulin resistance. Researchers have isolated several factors they believe lead to the build-up of insulin resistance. They are currently researching ways to reduce this resistance, bring insulin production, and use back to normal ranges. While most developments are years in the future, there is hope on the horizon. More and more clinical trials happen every year with new treatments.

     Type 2 Diabetes Symptom

    Type 2 Diabetes - Warning Signs

     

    What are the warning signs of type 2 diabetes? The common list of symptoms include increased thirst or hunger, dry mouth, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, blurred vision, and even headaches. In many patients, the disease develops slowly over several years and the warning signs become a part of life instead of signals of a problem. That is why it is important to tell your doctor of any changes, even minor. It is also important to be aware of the symptoms if you have a family history of the disease or if you have weight issues.

     

    The warning signs of Type 2 Diabetes relate directly to the development of the disease. The disease develops when a condition called insulin resistance starts. Normally, the cells in the body use insulin to turn glucose into glycogen. Glycogen becomes an energy source for those cells. In some people, something causes the cells’ ability to absorb insulin to diminish. This means the cell doesn’t have the insulin it needs to convert as much glucose as before. When this happens all over the body, the amount of glucose begins to increase in the blood stream. That increase in glucose begins to show through the symptoms recognized as warning signs for the disease.

     

    Many of the warning signs of type 2 diabetes relate to each other. Frequent urination comes from the fact that the kidneys need to extract the excess glucose from the body. They send it out through the urine. Therefore, the patient needs to go to the bathroom more often. Frequent urination causes the body to dehydrate. That leads to the increased thirst urges. The body is demanding more fluids. That is also, why dry mouth occurs. The body is calling for all fluids in order to extract the excess glucose. The diminished fluids in the body can lead to blurred vision as well. The fluids in the eye help keep focus. When they diminish, the eye cannot compensate for the lack of fluids and vision blurs. Headaches often happen because of fluid loss as well.

     

    When the cells of the body cannot convert the glucose efficiently, they begin to look for other sources of energy. They call on the fat cells to get energy from stored deposits. That is why many patients experience excess weight loss. The body also sees this search for energy as a need to eat more. Thus, hunger increases. The inefficient use of energy leads to that feeling of fatigue. Every warning sign of type 2 diabetes is related and needs monitoring.

    Type 2 Diabetes - Complications to Your Health?

     

    There are very serious complications that can develop from type 2 Diabetes. The complications seem to develop differently based on age, gender, and family origins. It is important for all patients to monitor for all potential complications as they can develop anywhere in anyone. In men, the chances are higher that the patient will develop heart disease or have a stroke. They also experience high levels of kidney damage due to the excess glucose and high blood pressure related to the disease. Some men develop vision problems and even blindness. Gum disease is another common complication that men develop. They also get nerve damage or may experience sleep apnea.

     

    Women have some type 2 diabetes complications related to child bearing. When a woman has diabetes and gets pregnant, they have a higher chance of miscarriage than others do. The baby may also have birth defects related to the mother having diabetes. Some women do not develop Diabetes until they are pregnant. However, developing gestational diabetes indicates a much higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life. Women who have babies weighing over nine pounds are also much more likely to develop it later as well. Women of African American, Hispanic, American Indian, Asian, and Pacific Islander descent are much more likely to develop the disease than their Anglo counterparts will. Women often develop depression and eating disorders because of a diagnosis.

     

    People of African American descent have a higher rate of Type 2 Diabetes than the general population. Almost 15 percent of African American population over 20 has the disease. Twenty five percent of women in this group over age 55 have it. They have an increased risk of blindness as well. They also have higher incidences of kidney disease, amputations, heart disease, and permanent nerve damage. Among Native Americans, the statistics are even worse. They have an even higher chance of developing the disease as African Americans. Almost 30% of that population likely has pre-Diabetes at any given time.

     

    For those of Asian or Pacific Islander descent, they have a high chance of developing type 2 diabetes even if they do not have weight issues. With excess weight, the chances skyrocket. A family history of the disease or a sedentary lifestyle also contributes to the high rates. No matter whom you are or what your background is, it is important to work to prevent these complications before they happen. Most complications are not reversible.

    Type 2 Diabetes – Facts

     

    One fact about Type 2 diabetes is that is the most common form of the disease. It makes up between 90 and 95% of all people who have it. Another fact is that the disease affects mostly adults. However, there are an increasing number of juveniles receiving diagnoses for it every year. Another fact is that those with a family history of this disease have a substantially higher risk of developing it themselves. This is especially true in those of African, Asian, Native American, or Pacific Islander descent. One very important fact is that anyone, no matter there heritage, can develop this form of Diabetes if they become obese.

     

    One fact many people are not aware of is that those with a diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes often can treat it with diet and exercise. These changes often break down the insulin resistance that is a major factor in developing the disease. Another fact is that it can lead to dehydration in some cases. As glucose builds in the blood stream, it has to go somewhere. The kidneys regularly flush this out through urination. That is one reason why so many people with diabetes have frequent urination urges. However, when this happens too often it can leave the person dehydrated as a result. Another fact that patients need to know is that severe dehydration can lead to a Diabetic coma.

     

    Another fact that patients with Type 2 diabetes should know is that high glucose over time can damage the blood vessels in most vital organ systems. It can also lead to hardening of the arteries. It is a leading contributor to heart attacks and strokes as well. People hear of diabetic patients needing a foot or leg amputated. This happens when the disease begins doing intensive nerve damage in the extremity. Many patients begin with numbness. Due to the lack of sensation, the patient often begins getting infections and poor circulation problems. At the extreme end, this can lead to amputation.

     

    Facts about Type 2 Diabetes must look at treating the disease once it happens. As stated before, Diet and exercise are common ways of treating the disease. Most people do not need extra insulin. However, in some cases, patients may need to monitor their blood glucose and take insulin. This is not always permanent if they begin to lose weight and eat right. Use a diagnosis as a wakeup call, not a death knell.

    Type 2 Diabetes - How Serious Is It ?

     

    Take type 2 diabetes extremely seriously. If the patient does not manage and treat it properly, the disease can lead to very serious complications such as vision loss, heart disease, and amputation. When combined with other factors, it can lead to death. One of the worst things about this form of the disease is that it may be doing damage for years before a patient detects it and gets treatment. Many patients do not receive proper diagnosis until one or more complications that are serious have developed. The silent long-term damage can be immense and irreparable.

     

    For those just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, make the changes necessary now in order to hold off the complications of the disease. This means making the appropriate changes in diet and exercise that your doctor recommends. It means stopping some bad habits that may exacerbate your condition such as smoking or drinking alcohol and sugary drinks. It means taking care of you properly in order to avoid the long-term complications of the disease. One of the best ways to take care of you is education. Keep on top of the latest news about Diabetes and its treatment. Regularly visit your doctor for the latest advice he has. Don’t think that you can wait awhile to deal with the disease. Start now to stop the damage.

     

    Type 2 diabetes is a costly disease in terms of health as well as money. Money seems to spin some people’s wheels, so here are some facts related to money. As the disease progresses, the patient begins to deal with increasing medical costs. With insurance, they still may face tens of thousands in uncompensated medical costs. That money comes out of their pocket. As the disease contributes to other conditions, the costs escalate. It costs thousands when someone has a heart attack, eye damage, stroke, and circulation problems. There are untold costs when it leads to premature disability and death. If you don’t worry about your health, you might want to think about your wallet.

     

    When children and teens receive a Type 2 Diabetes diagnosis, the adults in their lives need to take it very seriously. They are facing a lifetime of dealing with this disease. If not managed properly, their life may be short. It is not something to dismiss or diminish in their lives. They need to learn to manage it and make the changes necessary to deal with it. If they do not, those costs will be too high.

    Type 2 Diabetes - What Happens To My Pancreas?

     

    When faced with a diagnosis of diabetes, education is extremely important. The pancreas is often a bit of a mystery for most people. This thing sits in the abdomen and secretes hormones. The most famous secretion is insulin. However, understanding this gland can help patients understand their diagnosis. The pancreas itself is an endocrine gland. Its primary function is secretion of pancreatic fluid after a meal. Inside the pancreas, though, are other small clusters of tissue that relate to insulin production. These go by the name of the islets of Langerhans.

     

    The islets of Langerhans contain four different types of cells: beta, alpha, delta, and gamma. The beta cells produce the insulin. Insulin performs many functions. It helps some cells convert glucose into glycogen, which those cells use for energy. It helps convert certain amino acids into protein. It works in fat cells to take in glucose and aids in turning it into fat. It also helps reduce appetite in the hypothalamus gland. Insulin’s role in glucose regulation is how it relates directly to Diabetes. Diabetes develops either when the islets of Langerhans stops producing insulin or when the muscle cells begin to lose their ability to process insulin efficiently.

     

    Type 2 diabetes develops when muscle cells begin to lose their ability to process insulin efficiently. In normal cases, the muscle cells absorb the glucose and use insulin to turn it into glycogen. In those with diabetes, the muscle cells only convert a small portion of the glucose in the blood. This condition goes by the name of insulin resistance. The cells require more insulin to convert the same amount of glucose. For a short time, the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas will increase production of insulin. However, that is not sustainable over the long run. Gradually, the amount of excess glucose begins to build in the blood stream.

     

    In those with Type 2 Diabetes, over time, in the pancreas, the beta cells in the islets of Langerhans that produce the insulin begin to  line over time. The amount of insulin produced diminishes. This exacerbates the insulin dependency that many in the later stages of the disease exhibit. To combat this, research looks to restore the amount of insulin produced. One area of research underway looks at the possibility of transplanting healthy islets of Langerhans into the pancreases of those with diabetes. There have been no successful transplants, but it is something that may happen in the future.
