What are the best carbohydrates for type 2 diabetes

noreply@blogger.com (Dave Nevard) — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 20:52:00 +0000

When talking about carbohydrates and which ones in particular are good or best for a diabetic diet. Remember one thing, all carbs will turn to sugar, some faster than others, there are no best carbs but there are some that will work a lot slower in your system and will give your blood sugar control system a better chance of catching up.
The carbohydrates that will do you the biggest favour or rather, kick your arse the least are carbs from the following food groups.

Unrefined grains and oats

Pulses and legumes such as kidney beans and lentils

Nuts, walnuts, macadamias. (watch out for peanuts and cashews)

Remember, all of the above carbohydrates groups should still be taken in severely restricted amounts, your metabolism is not equipped to deal with large amounts of carbohydrates, YOU HAVE AN ILLNESS FOR LIFE don't ever forget it.

Type 2 Diabetes Therapy Treatments

noreply@blogger.com (Dave Nevard) — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 21:45:00 +0000

There seem to be many ways and aproaches to managing type 2 diabetes, some of these treatments are not only not very effective they are downright stupid, useless and dangerous.

Most of the therapy treatments behind controlling ones blood sugar levels, are based around the whole grain mixed complex carbohydrate diet. This is a bad idea for more than one reason. One of the main reasons is that a diet like this for type 2 diabetics will not only, keep the pancreas working on overtime to compensate. It will also keep blood sugar up and your cells less responsive to the effects of insulin. You really need to rest not only your pancreas but also allow the cells in your body to become more responsive to insulin. The only real way of letting your body re adjust to dealing with raised sugar levels, it to give your body a break. This means drasticaly lowering your carbohydrate intake day after day.

What is the cause of type 2 diabetes

noreply@blogger.com (Dave Nevard) — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 23:32:00 +0000

There are many theories as to the cause of type 2 diabetes, no one is 100% sure but there seems to be a strong indication that a diet low in essential fatty omega 3 6 and 9 acids and a diet high in processed sugars and flours as well as large amounts of hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated fats and trans fatty acids.
Also a lifestyle with little or no exercise. The general consensus leans towards type 2 diabetes being a genetic disease yet the facts do not bear this out. Our gene pool does not simply jump the ratio of sufferers from 1 in 100 00 to roughly 1 in 10 over a fifty year period. Some other factor is to blame here. It is no coincidence that in the last year or so, we have seen a massive movement for the eradication of hydrogenated oils from our supermarkets. Perhaps the law suits are already threatening and the huge multi national markets are getting ready for damage limitation.

How To Keep Your Blood Sugar Levels In A Safe Low Range

noreply@blogger.com (Dave Nevard) — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 17:27:00 +0000

The theory behind this is fairly simple, don't eat foods that consistently cause your blood sugar levels to rise. This would include anything that is carbohydrate based. The trouble is, most people think that if your type 2 diabetic but you stick to things like wholemeal pasta or porridge oats, then your going to be ok.
Not really, because over time you pancreas will be put under more and more strain, overcompensating for the fact that your cells are not as responsive to insulin as they should be. You need to avoid or heavily restrict, anything that is going to do this to your system. What ever you do, do not start the day with a carb based meal. This sets you up for more of the same throughout the day.
Remember, you pancreas needs its rest and your body will manage to find energy through foods other that pasta. Keeping your blood sugar levels low will massively help your pancreas and your insulin sensitivity improve

Is Low Blood Sugar A Good Sign For Type 2 Diabetes

noreply@blogger.com (Dave Nevard) — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 23:14:00 +0000

In my experience, yes it is. This indicates that not only is your pancreas still working but that your blood sugar levels are in a safe range. The circumstances however, are a different story altogether. This may be a sever hypoglycemic reaction to high blood sugar. Your body had thrown out a massive amount of insulin to compensate and as a result it has gone from high to low.

Your best plan of attack it to allow your body to exert its effects naturally. For instance, try going without any carbohydrates in the morning. You will feel a little washed out but nothing compared to a serious hypoglycemic episode that you would have had, had you eaten too many carbs.

If you go without carbs and feel that slightly shaky weak feeling. Don't panic, see it as a good sign, a sign that things are still working. It is from here that you can map out a proper plan of action.

Most Type 2 Diabetic Diets Don’t Work – They Are Dangerous And Misinformed

noreply@blogger.com (Dave Nevard) — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 08:35:00 +0000

Not only are most recommended diets “total Bull” when it comes to type 2 diabetes, some of them are downright dangerous and will only serve to keep you diabetic. In addition to this, your condition will only worsen over time, as your pancreas is put under more and more pressure to produce more and more insulin to compensate for your ever growing insulin resistance. Never getting chance to rest and regenerate, your pancreas will eventually exhaust, and it is at this point that you will have exactly the same problems as a type 1 diabetic.

If you had only made a few realistic changes before it was too late and stopped listening to the so called experts that are backed by the companies making the stuff that you are going to be injecting into your arm for the rest of your lives. Yes, look it up people. The stark information is there for anyone who dares to venture onto the google highway.

What Are The Benefits of Biotin

noreply@blogger.com (Dave Nevard) — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 17:38:00 +0000

There is a lot of talk about the positive benefits of vitamins and minerals, especially where a type 2 diabetci is concerned. Biotin is one such vitamin, b7 to be precise.
Biotin provides many functions within the body. Carbohydrate metabolism is one of them as well as aiding in the role of amino acids synthesise. Amino acids are quite the literraly the building blocks of the body.
Bioting also helps boost the performance of insulin, the hormone responsible for moving glucose out of the blood stream and into the body's cells for energy. This is the major problem that type 2 diabetics suffer from so anything that helps insulin work more prominently can't be a bad thing.
High doses aren't known to cause any serious side effects but obviously, consult a proffesional before undertaking any change in your diet.

High Protein Low Carbohydrate Diets - How To Still Get Enough Fiber

noreply@blogger.com (Dave Nevard) — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 19:10:00 +0000

One of the big problems with high protein low carbohydrate diets is the lack of fiber, or so you would think. There are basically two types of fiber, soluble and insoluble.

Insoluble fiber is the kind you get from cereal and wholemeal breads. It is the kind of fiber that cannot be broken down and ingested by your body, This sort of fiber literally scrapes your bowels as it makes its way out of your body, cleaning them as it goes. It is responsible for moving bulk through the intestines and helps maintain pH balance in the intestines and bowels.

Soluble fiber is entirely different and believed to be far superior. It helps remove bulk through the intestines in less time, maintains pH balance in the intestines and bowels and is believed to help ward off certain types of cancer. It is contained in food such as green veg, fruit, oat products.

Remember that as a type 2 diabetic you should be watching your carb intake and getting most of your fiber from cereals and wheat products only serves to push up your blood sugar levels.
Not so with green veg, you can have as much as you like and you will still be getting adequate and superior forms of fiber in your diet.

Type 2 Diabetes - How To Keep Sugar Levels Close To A Normal Target Range With Diet

noreply@blogger.com (Dave Nevard) — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 14:31:00 +0000

What is the normal target range of a healthy person without type 2 diabetes?

Depending on which part of the world you are in the readings will typically be as follows:

Fasting blood glucose levels of a non diabetic individual, 5.5 mmol (if you are in Europe)
and 100 mg/dl if you are in the Americas.

A type 2 diabetic will have for the most part, a wild card when it comes to sugar levels. Many different factors will make up the final readings such as stress, sedentary lifestyle, alcohol, smoking. As you can see the list goes on but the number one factor above all others is diet.

Diet alone can make or break an individuals readings. You could do everything else right, yet eat a couple of slices of pecan pie and it'll all go to pot.

A type 2 diabetic really needs to watch everything he or she eats. Learn to read the backs of the packs of every food item you are considering buying at the local supermarket. If it contains a carb level over about 5grams per hundred then put it back. This sounds harsh but you body will still run on quite alright without the double helping of pasta.

What Side Effects Do You Get From Metformin

noreply@blogger.com (Dave Nevard) — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 17:43:00 +0000

Metformin is the most widely used orally ingested drug for type 2 diabetic and regarded as one of the most safe. Just in case you were wondering what sort of side effects one can expect from taking metformin here are the usual suspects.

Rapid weight gain, fever, flu symptoms, headaches and muscle pain, weakness, vomiting and nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, gas, shortness of breath.

On top of all this metformin (despite being on of the "safest" on the market) should not be taken if you have liver, heart or kidney disease. Fairly eye opening. These type of drugs are a quick term fix but in actual fact they cause the pancreas to produce even more insulin which as you can imagine. Will cause it to eventually exhaust. This is the point when no amount of correct diet or oral drugs will help, by then you will be put on insulin injections since your body won't be producing any.

Lower Your Blood Sugar - 3 Natural Ways To Control Raised Glucose Levels

noreply@blogger.com (Dave Nevard) — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 20:13:00 +0000

High sugar is dangerous, very dangerous. In order to stay safe you need to bring your sugar levels down quickly. Things can get out of control before you even realise what is happening.

Here are 3 helpful techniques on lowering your blood sugar levels.

1.
Immediately half the consumption of all carbohydrates, these include:

Fruit juices
Pasta
Pastries
Fruit
Pulse (beans lentils etc)
All cereals
Candy (obviously)
Soft drinks
Cakes
Crisps
Chips

I think you get the idea, if in any doubt READ THE LABELS.

2.
Do not eat anything no later than 6pm. Yes you will feel hungry but you wont die. You manage and after a few weeks the hunger will subside as your body will adjust to its new routine.

3.
Do not eat as much if you are not going to be burning it off. Example, don't go gorging yourself at the weekend since you wont be burning it off with daily work.

These tips on lowering your blood sugar naturally don't sound like anything ground breaking but apply them and you will see the difference. Just don't give in to temptation and start snacking late at night.

How To Lower Blood Sugar

noreply@blogger.com (Dave Nevard) — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 14:50:00 +0000

The information contained in this single page is the holy grail for anyone suffering from high blood glucose related problems.
It is no exageration to say that the equivalent information in other circles, would be like giving a contestant on the "who wants to be a millionaire show" all the answers to the questions in advance.

I am a type 2 diabetic and it sickens me that this information it nowhere near as common place as it should be. I intend to do to my bit in the fight for the remedy and help as many people as possible for free.

This information can be used for all diabetics but as with the case of type 1 diabetics, the rules are different because of their continual need for insulin injections and the effects on exercise when no insulin is present in the system.

This article is largly aimed at type 2 diabetics but never the less......read on..

Where to start?
Simple, use every natural trick in the book and believe me brothers and sisters there are plenty!

I'll try to keep it as down to earth and straight forward as possible because I can waffle sometimes.
Okay, here we go, now you may feel a little despondent when you first read this, you may feel like "OH NO! I CANT DO THAT". What if I told you that this ins't a holiday camp that you can decide to take it easy on if you feel like it.

THIS IS A FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE PEOPLE!

If you don't get a grip on this now then in a few years, well. You'll certainly wish you had.

1.
Get as much exercise as possible in any form you can. Running, weight, deep breathing, swimming, cycling, pushups, squats, taking the stairs not the elevator. You get the idea.
You need to be cultivating the change in your life where, its is not the case of "when can I fit my exercise workout in today or tommorow?"
No! You want to be taking the attitude of, "what changes can I make every single day of my life that will ensure I get more exercise all day everyday!"
Carry the shopping home from the store, take the old lady's trash out next door, run for the bus, help your folks move the junk out of the garage.
It does not matter, anything and everything, it all counts but you want to know what the ultimate exercise is for your situation? One that you can implement on a large scale for a prolonged period without knocking the stuffing out of yourself? On that you will feel the positive effects for within minutes? WALKING!

No joke, I started walking to work, 4 miles each way, that might be a little much for some of you but seriously, walk as much as you can, and walk FAST AND HARD.
Dont take a pleasant stroll, really push yourself, the first few days you will ache the most but after that it'll be like nothing.
Do not underestimate the power of walking.
Walk to work, to the shops, up stairs, to your friend, miss an hour of tv and get outside. You can and will find time to walk.
Remember, this is a battle for your life.

2.
Carbohydrates Carbohydrates Carbohydrates!

There is only one thing you need to know about carbohydrates as a type 2 diabetic.
Poison!
Get this into your head right away - your body can and will function perfectly well without a constant supply of carbohydrate. It creates its own and stores then, then releases then in times of increase physical perfomance and stress. I wont go into the biochemical process but in case you want to know more, go to wikipedia and type in GLUCONEOGENESIS GLYCOGEN and GLYCOLYSIS and then spend a pleasant afternoon wading through pages and pages of biochemistry.
You need to learn what a carb is cause they are everywhere. It is too long of a list to start talking about them here so get on the search engines if in any doubt. Start reading the backs of all packs of food. Stay away from as much carb as humanly possible, try not to have more than about 30g a day and believe me that is a challenge. One moderate bowl of cereal and guess what? You've already blown it!
Fruit and fruit juice? no no no, but its got natural sugars in it? no no no. Rocket fuel for your blood. some fruit is very low in sugar, go and search it out, read the backs of the packs.
Raspberries are one of them. Bannanas and apples are not.
Sugar and carbs are in so much you need to arm yourself with the knowledge of what they are in.
Dont start the day with cereal, start it with an omlette, some greek yogurt and a handful of walnuts, flaxseed oil and cinnamon, some cheese and continental meats, just avoid the heavy carbs!!!!
Once you start your body on the cycle of burning carbs for the day it will pretty much crave them every few hours thereafter. Whereas, if you start with a protein breakfast or even no breakfast at all then you craving will be non existent. If you doubt this, try it for a few weeks, it'll take a couple of days to get the swing of things but trust me.

3.
Avoid the stimulants, when your body is jacked up on caffeine and the like, it basically kicks out more glucose because it thinks it is in a state of heightened activity or fight or flight. Hense the energy slumps will continual and more coffee and more carbs are the order of the day.
Its a vicious cycle that only results in more internal confusion. Trust me, knock out the caffeine. Drink plenty of water.

4.
Times of day for eating.
Basically, eat in the morning, eat midday, eat in the afternoon but you really dont want to be tucking a dinner away past 5 or 6 pm. I understand this puts a strain on things when it comes to socializing but remember, this is a fight for your life. If you do go out for dinner late at night, it goes without saying, that it should consist of virtually zero carbs, just to be on the safe side.

There you have it, hopefully something that can be of help to any type 2 diabetics out there, I know there are plenty of them.
