TYPE 2 DIABETES UNITED KINGDOM

 

Best Tip:
In Type 2 Diabetes manage your blood sugar in the first 10 Years New Page 1

Person: Non-Diabetic (Normal)

Blood Glucose levels should be
.Fasting blood sugar under 100 mg/dl = 5.5 mmol/L
One hour after meals under 140 mg/dl = 7.8 mmol/L
Two hours after meals under 120 mg/dl = 6.7 mmol/L
.
.

Person: Type 2 Diabetes

Blood SUGAR  levels should be..
If you 'embrace' your Type 2 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 (glucose) levels are 4 - 7 mmol/l (72-126 mg/dl) (when you wake up)
test your blood glucose levels before meals between, should be  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 )
.
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.
.
.
.

How to Tell if you have Prediabetes
There are two different tests to see if you have normal blood sugar (glucose) or pre-diabetes:

1) the fasting plasma glucose test (FPG) or
2) the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).
 

           
1) The fasting plasma glucose test (FPG)

Normal
PreDiabetes

Type 2 Diabetes
less than 5.6 mmol/L  5.6-7 mmol/l greater
than 7 mmol/l
less than 100 mg/dl  100 -126
mg/dl
greater
than 126 mg/dl

 

2) The oral glucose  tolerance test (OGTT). (Done by your Doctor)

Normal
PreDiabetes

Type 2 Diabetes
less than 7.7 mmol/l 7.7 - 11
mmol/l
greater
than 11 mmol/l
less than 140 mg/dl  140 - 200
mg/dl
greater
than 200 mg/dl

.

.

.

If  you are pre-diabetic or diabetic, among the first issues you will have to deal with are blood sugar levels, irregular blood sugar levels, and just how to monitor your blood sugar level.

A basic blood sugar chart will give you an idea of what values you should be aiming for to take care of your health and stay clear of harmful health effects due to type 2 diabetes:

  •  Normal Fasting blood sugar (glucose) levels are 4 – 5.5mmol/l (70- 100 mg/dl) (when you wake up);  
       these amounts are typically less in the morning, and rise soon after meals.
     
  • Regardless of what you may have previously eaten, a random reading of 10 mmol/l (or 180 mg/dl) or more, may suggest you have type 2 diabetes.
     
  • A fasting blood sugar reading taken, for example, any time after you wake up each morning, should be, as mentioned  4 – 5.5mmol/l (70- 100 mg/dl).  

If the fasting blood sugar reading is 7 mmol/l (126 mg/dL) or more, you may have type 2 diabetes.

When monitoring your blood glucose levels, its crucial that you study any patterns with your readings with your doctor or diabetes nurse or healthcare professional, and take note of variations with meals, medications or other activity (like stress) that trigger undesirable readings.

Diabetes really is a serious problem, and can have devastating effects on  the whole body, on eyes, kidneys, heart, nerves, possibly leading to blindness, kindey failure, amputation of feet, heart illnesses and stroke. Those who have diabetes, regardless if it is type 1 or 2 is a real threat to health.

 

For those that have pre-diabetes it's by no means too early to consider aggressive preventive measures by altering your way of life and lifestyle choices.

                                     How To Reverse Type 2 Diabetes                        

     THE BOOK - Control Your Blood Sugar and  Reverse The Root Cause of Type 2 Diabetes!

 

Here's important news for anyone with diabetes. A remarkable E-Book is now available that reveals scientifically proven principles that can help trigger your body to produce more insulin naturally, reversing diabetes symptoms without the need for medication.

Diabetes is a condition in which sugar is not properly absorbed by the body. Globally the incidence of diabetes is expected to exceed 250 million people by 2025 – resulting in 35 million heart attacks, 13 million strokes, 6 million episodes of renal failure, 8 million instances of blindness or eye surgery, 2 million amputations and 62 million deaths – that is a measure of the scale of the problem. While diabetes belongs at the top of the healthcare agenda, it has yet to be given that position.

According to the American Diabetes Association, there are 21 million diabetics in America; with another 54 million people having pre-diabetes (placing them at high risk for developing Type II diabetes). This equates to 75 million Americans having diabetes, or being at high risk.

Matt Traverso's E-Book states, if the damage that is being done to the pancreas can be turned around, the organ will be given the chance to heal itself and then, gradually, it is possible for those who are dependent on insulin shots to be able to stop them all together. This means diabetes sufferers may no longer have to be dependant on the drugs and medications that are usually taken to treat the condition.

Top scientists such as Dr Robert O. Young, Dr Gabriel Cousens, Dr Fuhrman and many others (whose groundbreaking research forms the basis of this E-book) state that “diabetes is completely reversible”.

I would like to extend the opportunity to anyone who either suffers from type 1 or type 2 diabetes, or is at high risk of getting the disease, to learn more about “The Diabetes-Reversing Breakthrough!”

So if you want to find out more about this, then just visit the link now.

                How To Reverse Type 2 Diabetes      

So now, here’s my question to you…

How bad do your Diabetes complications have to get, before you're finally desperate enough, to actually do something about it?!

Fact is... the longer you remain stuck in the “Diabetes Trap” of continually “needing” more and higher doses of medications, the more long-term havoc your diabetes complications will wreak on your heart, kidneys, pancreas, brain, and the rest of your body.

On the other hand, if you're content staying trapped by your Diabetes... just realize, this ruthless disease will eventually cost you far more in the long term.

Because the Reverse Your Diabetes Now ebook  is in a convenient downloadable format, you can start learning the simple steps to beat diabetes immediately after you order.

Plus, you have a full TWO MONTHS to test it out for yourself. If your diabetes hasn't dramatically improved –
or even if you don't like the book for any reason (or no reason at all) – you'll get a full refund. No hassles, no questions asked... 100% unconditionally guaranteed.

Diabetes – Symptoms

So what should you watch for with Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes?
All complications can hit anyone that has the disease.

Here is a list of potential complications:

vision problems, blindness, gum disease, heart attacks, heart disease, eating disorders, depression, weight gain, weight loss, excessive thirst, nerve damage, renal failure, circulation problems, and amputation.

If none of those is bad enough, diabetic coma is a severe complication.
The final one is death.
Which one do you want to experience?

If you know better, the answer is none.

 

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.

 

 

Why is Diabetes So Serious ?


For example, in 2010,  Diabetes is one of the most challenging public health problems and common chronic
diseases affecting Australians. The following points highlight diabetes as a healthpriority.
• Type 2 diabetes is largely preventable
• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are 3 times more likely to have
diabetes as are non-Aboriginal Australians
• Diabetes was responsible for 5.5% of the total burden of disease in 2003 (92% due to type 2 diabetes)
• In 2005, 3% of deaths in Australia were directly due to diabetes and it contributed to another 6% of deaths
• The proportion of people with diabetes doubled from the period 1989–1990 to the period 2004–2005
• Diabetes and the comorbities it can cause lead to a strong cost burden
• Between 2000–2001 and 2004–2005 the rate of hospitalisation due to diabetes increased by 35%
• More than half of the people with diagnosed diabetes also had a disability – 25%
considered diabetes as the main condition causing their disability
• Direct health expenditure on diabetes in 2004–2005 was $907 million

• Diabetes can have a strong impact on quality of life
• People with diabetes are more likely to rate their health as ‘fair’ or ‘poor’
• People with diabetes report higher levels of psychological distress

• 30% of men with self reported diabetes suffer from impotence
• Diabetes can cause complications
• People with diabetes are twice as likely to have a heart attack
• People with diabetes are three times as likely to have a stroke
• People with diabetes are more likely to have eye problems (cataracts, glaucoma, retinopathy, loss of vision)
• Diabetes is the most common cause of blindness in people over 60 years of age • 2% of people with diabetes are completely or partially blind
• Diabetic nephropathy is responsible for nearly one-third of the people having treatment for endstage kidney disease (an increase of 28% in 4 years)
• Diabetes is the most common reason for commencing dialysis
• Diabetes can lead to nerve damage and possible leg or foot amputations in extreme cases
• Diabetes is the most common cause of nontraumatic lower limb amputation.

 

 

 

Type Two Diabetes - Diabetic Coma -
Are You At Risk

For so many with Diabetes, the thought of ending up in a diabetic coma is a worst case scenario. There is no question. Such a coma is a very serious situation. This often occurs as a result of one of three different causes: severe diabetic hypoglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis in combination with other symptoms or hyperosmolar nonketonic coma. Each one involves different causes. The medical term diabetic coma is a general term used when someone comes up unconscious with diabetes. Modern medical staff knows what to look for to figure out what is causing the problem. It is critical for you to recognize early medical symptoms in yourself to avoid losing consciousness. Let's look at each type and then what may happen with each.

The first one is severe diabetic hypoglycemia. That long medical term means that your glucose levels have plummeted too low. It often occurs if a patient takes too much insulin or something else causes the blood glucose to drop unexpectedly. People with Diabetes  will likely deal with some periods of hypoglycemia off and on. It is actually very uncommon for levels to fall so low as to induce a coma. If coma happens, the paramedics or hospital will give the patient intravenous glucose or glucagon to stimulate glucose release. This will elevate glucose levels in the blood stream.

The next type to consider is a coma caused by diabetic ketoacidosis. Ketoacidosis begins when the body runs out of insulin. To get the much needed energy energy, the human body starts converting fat deposits of the person's body into energy. This action causes the build-up of ketones in the blood stream. The ketone buildup may result in many severe medical and health symptoms besides loss of consciousness. Vomiting, dehydration, confusion, and shallow irregular breathing are common. People with type 2 diabetes get this form of diabetic coma less often than the first one. Treatment involves rehydration and giving insulin to stop the generation of more ketones.

The last type of diabetic coma is one referred to as hyperosmolar nonketonic coma. This type of coma develops as a combination of severe hyperglycemia and dehydration. Hyperglycemia is the term for elevated levels of circulating glucose in the blood stream. When high levels of sugar combine with severe loss of fluids, the patient may then fall into a coma very rapidly. This form of coma is the most deadly in the diabetes community. It only begins to be seen as lethargy. Without overt symptoms, so many people fall into a coma without any warning. Treatment includes gradual rehydration and insulin introduction.

 

 

 

Getting Started

Type 2 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).

 

Type 2 Diabetes 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.

 

Type 2 Diabetes 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).

 

Type 2 Diabetes 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.

 

Type 2 Diabetes 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

 

Type 2 Diabetes 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)

 

Type 2 Diabetes 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.

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!

Type 2 Diabetes 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.

anti-platelet drugs such as clopidogrel (Plavix®), and non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) such as ibuprofen (Motrin®, Advil®)
or naproxen (Naprosyn®, Aleve®).Source: http://www.wellness.com/reference/food/cinnamon-cinnamomum-spp/dosing-and-safety

Ground Ginger might help lower blood glucose.
Ginger helps with digestion and helps food move down along
the digestive system quicker.
Ground Ginger from the supermarket is convenient.
But Tea made with fresh slices of ginger (5 min brew) is also fine.
CAUTION:  Because ginger increases bile flow, it is contraindicated in people with gallstonesSource: http://www.yourhealth.com.au/information-on-natural-medicine-herbs-detail.php?name=Ginger

Potatoes.

Instead of mashed potatoes, have mashed cauliflower.
You can’t eat potatoes!
You can eat a sweet potato in place of a white potato: they are low on the glycemic index scale.

Cholesterol
Exercise reduces it. 20 min walk 3-4 times a week good.
40 min even better.

Type 2 Diabetes Lower Blood Sugar Tips

Type 2 Diabetes 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!

Exercise

Even 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).

Type 2 Diabetes 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.

Foods
A 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.

Foods

Eat 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.

Drink water.  It dilutes the blood, lower blood sugar,
so Never be dehydrated!
