Diet And Weight Loss Tips

Sugar peak after meal is a problem that puts the diabetics at risk.
Really the worry is not on the expanding waist lines. Instead people
with diabetes should pay attention to the danger of a neglected post
meal peak in blood glucose. In fact the University of Warwick’s Medical
School says that this post meal peak does more harm than even a
persistent rise in blood glucose.

The main focus of treatment for
the diabetics has been to lower the blood glucose level with emphasis on
fasting plasma glucose. Thank goodness that now most diabetics are
highly proficient at maintaining the best blood sugar levels. This is
dampened though by the recent suggestion that it is not enough to
maintain optimized control.

The Guideline for Management of
Postmeal Glucose report was carried out by an international panel of
diabetes specialists for the International Diabetes Federation. They
examined the sugar peak after meal and found that lowering the postmeal
plasma glucose is as vital or even more so than obtaining the optimum
HbA1c levels.

People without diabetes have sugar levels that
seldom go higher than 7.8 mmol/l after a heavy holiday meal and these
usually go back to normal reading two to three hours after food
consumption. It is therefore the opinion of the experts that the
diabetics should not have their blood glucose rise above the 7.8 mmo/l
after meals.

Naturally they were concerned that this is not the
case. They found as many as 71% had a mean, two hour after meal, plasma…

All three major news channels reported on new recommendations We are using the CBS clip

It is encouraging to see the mainstream media getting a little bit current with existing research. We have known and in fact have been recommending omega 3 fish oil for over 4 years. We have been recommending vitamin D for about 2 years now.

I personally take 1200 mg of EPA/DHA per day and 2000 mg of vitamin D. The 1200 mg is in the form of two concentrated omega 3 fish oil capsules. Each of the 1000 mg capsules I take has 400 mg of EPA and 200mg DHA for the total of 1200mg.

See http://www.diabetic-diet-secrets.com/omega3-epa/dha.html (omega3-epa/dha.html) for our article on omega 3 our vitamin D recommendation was in the section on inflammatory foods. Searching the section on recommendations for diabetics it becomes clear I need to add a page on vitamin D.

Expanding a little on the CBS report that featured Dr. Jennifer Ashton, Omega 3 and vitamin D are very powerful anti-inflammatories. Type 2 diabetes is one of the many inflammatory diseases. While Dr. Jennifer Ashton spoke about the connection to heart disease, all of the inflammatory diseases respond well to removing inflammatory foods from our diet and increasing anti-inflammatory foods.

Avoid Diabetes with This Vitamin

Skip the iceberg lettuce and go for the dark leafy greens on your next trip to the salad bar. Iceburg lettuce is almost devoid of usable nutrients. The dark leafy veggie are loaded. Beside the other nutrients in the dark leafy vegetables scientist have discovered a specific connection between vitamin K and type 2 diabetes.

Turns out the vitamin K in greens like kale and spinach may reduce your chances of developing insulin resistance — a major risk factor for diabetes.

Earlier this year Registered dietician Keri Glassman explained to
Harry Smith some
natural, low cost food items that may fill the grocery shelves during
the coming year. Much of this is old news to members on readers of this
site. There is howerer some new information about vitamin K.

Watch the video.

Keep Insulin on the Job

In a study, people who took vitamin K supplements for 36 months had lower blood levels of insulin and experienced improved insulin resistance compared with an unsupplemented control group. Contrary to other studies, only the men benefitted from K — possibly because more of the women were overweight or obese. These conditions contribute significantly to insulin resistance and diminish the body’s response to vitamin K.

How does vitamin K boost insulin function? The researchers aren’t quite sure, but they suspect it helps quench inflammation, for one. And although more research is needed to confirm the study’s findings, you can’t go wrong eating dark leafy greens and other vitamin K-packed…

This has absolutely nothing to do with type 2 diabetes. I usually try to stay very focused but I can not resist this time. On rare occasions a truly remarkable talent comes out of the crowd and this time it is Susan Boyle.

Congratulation Susan. Reguardless of the final outcome you are the clear winner of the competion. I cannot understand how you came in second to a Mediocre dance troop. Susan, your’s is an incredible talent. I wish you the best and if there is any justice in the world you will sing for the Queen and go on to a career of singing professionally.

If you have not seen Susan in the finals, here it is.

The Double Diabetes Epidemic
A growing number of people with type 1 diabetes also show signs of the insulin resistance characteristic of type 2.

An increasing number of diabetic patients are facing a new disease complication called double diabetes, the term used to describe having symptoms of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Researchers say they have strong evidence that double diabetes could be a growing phenomenon. Recent studies have found that as many as one in three newly diagnosed childhood diabetics now have both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Double Diabetes, Double Trouble
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that occurs early in life, often in children. For unclear reasons, the body’s immune system begins attacking and destroying the beta cells in the pancreas needed produce the hormone insulin. Insulin is what ushers blood sugar (glucose) from the bloodstream into the cells to create energy. Without insulin, glucose levels in the bloodstream rise.

Type 2 diabetes usually has a later onset. Because of a combination of poor diet, lack of exercise, and too much body fat, the cells of the body become resistant to the insulin the pancreas has been making. Glucose levels remain elevated: The pancreas tries to keep up with the added demand by producing more insulin, but over time burns itself out.

Double diabetes occurs when a person with type 1 diabetes develops resistance to the insulin they are taking, insulin resistance being the hallmark of type 2 diabetes. It can also occur…
