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.

    Blood Sugar

    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.

    C Reactive Protein

    C Reactive Protein - and Statins

    A new target for treatment?
    Recent research suggests that the benefits of statins may not be entirely due to their effect on LDL levels.
    Statin therapy is most effective, it seems, when levels of a particular marker of inflammation are higher.
    C-reactive protein (CRP) is a sign of inflammation, and it appears to play a role in heart disease.
    It is thought that statins have anti-inflammatory properties, offering protection particularly to the
    blood vessel walls that are damaged by inflammation in the development of atherosclerosis.
     
    C Reactive Protein

    C- Reactive protein levels
    A research team using data from the PROVE IT–TIMI 22 study found that not only did those who
     reached LDL levels below 70 mg/dl have fewer cardiovascular events, but that those who
    had CRP levels below 2 mg/l (milligrams per liter) also had fewer cardiovascular events, and
     to the same degree of difference. What’s more, the association of lower CRP values and
    fewer events was detected regardless of the person’s LDL level. Lowering CRP values with statins, therefore, was
    independently associated with decreased risk.

    Carbs Information.

    White Flour Carbs

    Carbohydrates in Food  (http://www.carbs-information.com/)

     

    White Flour Carbs
    Sugary carbs, especially table sugar (sucrose), used to be seen as causing adverse health effects for
    diabetics and people with symptoms of impaired glucose tolerance or insulin insensitivity.
    Although a high sugar diet can cause problems for these groups,
    most nutritionists now view refined white flour foods (most of which have a high GI-value)
    as causing more glycemic health problems, such as insulin resistance, and digestive disorders.

    Children Juvenile Diabetes - Early Signs And Symptoms In Children

    What are the early signs and symptoms of juvenile diabetes? Juvenile diabetes is having a sudden onset.
    The cause of juvenile diabetes is destruction of insulin producing beta cells of the pancreas.
    Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas which changes the glucose in the energy needed by the body.
     The most common in children is type 1 diabetes mellitus.

    Diabetic - Weight Loss Q and A

     

     

     

     

    fatloss Do you want to lose weight? If so, you're probably overwhelmed by the choices out there.

    Do you follow the latest diet plan? Embark on a new training regime? Perhaps you should cut carbs out of your diet, or focus entirely on aerobic exercise?

    With so many options, its tough to know where to turn for solid fat loss advice. But one things for sure: if you want to lose weight, its vital that you keep your diet in check. Eating excessive food, especially simple sugars and saturated fats, is bound to keep the weight on.

    With that in mind, there is one diet plan that has been incredibly success for thousands of people - the Fat Loss 4 Idiots system. This breakthrough system has sold tens of thousands of copies for one reason: it works. And it works consistently. Fat Loss 4 Idiots doesn't focus on low calorie or low fat "fad diets" 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.

    This program has allowed thousands of average people to keep the fat at bay, becoming more energised and looking better than ever. It's no wonder this has been a best-seller since 2004.

    Fat Loss 4 Idots also comes with an eight-week guarantee, for your piece of mind.

    We strongly advise you check it out:

    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.

    Supplements

    Supplements

    Diabetics are almost all nutritionally depleted because vitamins and minerals are lost in their urine,
    because they generally have medical conditions which increase requirements, because their
     bodies burns more essential fatty acids for energy, and because diabetics' diets are often themselves
    deficient. The optimum levels of some protective vitamins cannot be achieved with food alone.
    Supplements can dramatically lessen the risk of heart disease and stroke in diabetics, and correction
    of deficiencies can, along with
    exercise, lessen the severity of the condition.

    What Are The Treatments Available?

     

    Type two Diabetescan 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 sugar  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.

    Learning how to control type 2 diabetes...take control

    What is happening in Type two Diabetes

    First, there is a shortage of insulin

    Second, there is insulin resistance.

    Third, there are genes

    These factors combine to cause Type two Diabetes

     

    Pattern of progression

    1. At the beginning of Type two Diabetesa 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, 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  levels are 4 - 7 mmol/l (72-126 mg/dl) (when you wake up)
    • test your blood sugar  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)

    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.

    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.

    Insulin levels: insulin resistance:  in cardiovascular disease (CVD) or diabetes 

    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.

    LDL - small Dense LDL - Using Apolipoprotein B Levels to Assess Cardiac Risk

    Although low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol remains the lipid value
    commonly used to assess cardiovascular risk, apolipoprotein (apo) B may better reflect lipid risk.
    Six categories of evidence support this conclusion: small, dense LDL particles,
     as measured by apo B, are more commonly present in persons with coronary artery disease (CAD)
    than an increased LDL cholesterol level; increased very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL)
     secretion by the liver results in increased small, dense LDL particles; small, dense LDL
    particles are more atherogenic than normal LDL particles; apo B more accurately identifies
    CAD risk than do LDL cholesterol levels; apo B assays do not require fasting and
    have been well standardized for use in routine laboratories; and the level of
    apo B continues to predict CAD risk during statin treatment.

    The American Diabetes Association (ADA) has identified an increased risk of

    • Those who have had diabetes for ten years or longer
    • Men
    • People whose blood sugar  control is less than optimal
    • People who already have other diabetes complications, such as cardiovascular (heart)
       disease,
      retinopathy (eye disease),
      or
      nephropathy (kidney disease)
    • People with a history of smoking, because smoking is associated with early
      development of vascular (blood vessel) complications in diabetes.

    Here are some of the most important steps you can take now to prevent diabetes-related foot complications:

    Feet Problems

    There are many ways to reduce risks to feet problems

    Read More..........

    One way is to ......

    Control blood fats. High blood levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol
    (the so-called bad cholesterol) and the fats called triglycerides can contribute to atherosclerosis
    (hardening of the arteries) and heart disease. Atherosclerosis is also a
    contributor to the development of peripheral arterial disease, which itself increases
    risk for foot complications by interfering with the healing of wounds. Peripheral arterial
     disease can be symptomless or it can manifest itself in a number of ways
    including coolness of the fingers or toes, loss of hair on the hands or feet, or
    intermittent claudication (pain in the legs or buttocks that starts with activity and subsides with rest).

    People with diabetes tend to have LDL levels similar to those of people who don’t have diabetes,
     but diabetes often causes decreased levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol
    (the so-called good cholesterol) and increased levels of triglycerides. 
     Depending on your levels and symptoms, your health-care team may recommend
    dietary changes, including lowering your intake of saturated and trans fats, exercise, and medicines.
