     Researchers say they have found that even low spikes in blood sugar can affect an area in the brain that forms memories.      The concern here is that because it affects memories of even little spikes in the blood sugar it not only is a concern for diabetics, but for everyone, since spikes occur in everyone from time to time.      The easiest and the best way for now to handle this is to

The CDC reports that diabetes is up 90% since 1997. They think the numbers are actually much higher because a third of the people who have it may not be aware that they have it. Southern states have the highest rates. Of the top ten, Arizona is the only one not southern, the others are Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and West Virginia.

Cis-fats may prove to be a vital part of finding a diabetes cure for Type 2 through diet. When you read about fats you will come across many different terms. You may find them very baffling, and to understand them fully does actually need a knowledge of biochemistry at degree level. You don't need that depth of knowledge though to get a grasp is what is important in your diabetes diet. You don't

     I came upon an article written by another blogger who happens to be a doctor. What interested me in this article was it asked the question " Is the glycemic index a gimmick "?      Since I first heard of the glycemic index, I have had solid faith that it was not a gimmick, and that by following it, you could not only keep your blood sugar even throughout the day, but you could also use it

This glucose management meter called the OneTouch Ping, has been approved by the FDA for sale in the United States. The system works like this, there is a small insulin pump that attaches to your belt or clothing and depending on what the meter is reading for your glucose level, will deliver a proper dose of insulin to a catheter planted under the skin. There is no need to even touch the pump

Researchers are now able to prove that weight loss is the key in improving blood sugar levels. People that had Gastric Bypass surgery who lost weight did improve their diabetes by taking less insulin, but doctors assumed it had something to do with changing the way the body handled hormones and such. Now it appears they are convinced that it's the simple loss of weight that enables the

Proper care of your gums and teeth can help control your diabetes type 2. A1C is a measure of diabetes control in the long term. People who have periodontal disease often have higher levels of insulin resistance and A1C levels. Several studies have been done that link gum disease and type 2 diabetes. One study suggests that those who have periodontal disease have twice the risk of

If the high blood glucose levels associated with diabetes are allowed to go on for long periods of time, you can develop kidney disease. This type of kidney disease is referred to as diabetic nephropathy.Many people ignored the symptoms of their conditions until they are deep into kidney damage. A diabetic could have a urine test to measure microalbuminuria without much cost. Those with strong

A recent study in which one group of men were asked to drink regular coffee, and another group asked to drink decaffeinated coffee an hour before eating a low sugar cereal, found that the men who consumed the caffeine had blood sugar levels of 250 times higher than the others. Caffeine makes our bodies resistant to insulin and that causes our blood sugar levels to rise.People who are

We all know how important our eyesight is in our daily lives, but when you have diabetes the eyes become even more important. Many people with diabetes go blind, or loose most of their sight if they are not careful with medication, diet, and physical activity. The scary part is that sometimes it takes a loss of sight before people become aware that they have diabetes. By then there can be

A study was done and has found that more women than ever before are starting off their pregnancies with diabetes, while the numbers of women who develop gestational diabetes remain the same. This is important because it's verifying the fact that more people are developing diabetes. These women had it before they conceived or were at the very least pre-diabetic. It's further evidence

Did you know that certain shots and medications can affect blood sugar? These medications can be very dangerous for people with diabetes and those taking them may even need to adjust their insulin dosage. For instance if you get a cortisone shot it can cause your blood sugar to spike up and even stay high for days afterward. You would certainly need more insulin during those couple days.

The results of a study that has spanned over twenty years has shown that diabetic men who consume seven or more eggs a week are twice as likely to die from all causes as compared to those who only ate one egg a week. Non-diabetics showed that eating up to six eggs a week did not increase risk at all, but those who had seven or more had a 23% higher risk of death. What this means for

Diabetics are four times as likely as normal people to have this and more likely to suffer the consequences of it, heart attacks, strokes, and death.

After a half dozen studies have been done over the years, researchers have concluded that aside from blindness, kidney disease, stroke, and heart ailments, diabetes is also responsible for loss of lung capacity. Lung capacity decreases as we age but having diabetes quickens this process. It was also noted that the worse the diabetes is as indicated by taking oral medication, and/or insulin

If you think this could never happen to you, think again. Diabetics are constantly having feet and legs amputated as a result of a small injury that was not taken care of early enough. It doesn't even have to begin with a cut. You could stub your toe and fracture a bone without knowing it or maybe your skin is very dry and an infection got in through some dry cracked skin.
