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.

    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 interrupt 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.

    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.

    Nearly 65 percent of people with diabetes will die from a heart attack or stroke; because of a lack of available information, two out of three people with diabetes are unaware of their heightened risk.

    In order for those with diabetes to stay heart healthy, having the most up-to-date information is crucial.  Now, there's a place where people can go for the latest resources that can help them control their diabetes, as well as monitor their blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

    When those with diabetes take steps to also ensure good cardiovascular health, they can live long, healthy lives. 

     The National Diabetes Education Program is a federally funded program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and includes over 200 partners at the federal, state, and local levels, working together to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with diabetes.

    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.

    Diet?

    Diabetic Food
    The diabetic food pyramid outlines in detail what those suffering from the disease should eat,
    and what they should avoid.
    You'll find lots of starches, grains and breads on the pyramid that was first released by the USDA in 2005.

    And if you're looking for recipes, they can be found practically everywhere you look. Search the internet, open a book,
    magazine or newspaper, or just turn on the television and you'll no doubt find more tasty recipes than
     you could ever hope to try.
    A quick trip to the public library will add even more treats to your list.

    The main thing that needs to be avoided is sugars, and given how tempting many desserts can be
    this is harder than it seems.
    Those with a mild case of diabetes might be able to grab a nibble of sugared foods on occasion,
    but not too often. Those with moderate to severe cases of diabetes should avoid them completely.

    From www.diabeticretinopathy.org.uk  

     

    See for discussion below

    see http://medweb.bham.ac.uk/easdec/prevention/what_is_the_hba1c.htm

     

    How does your glucose level compare with your HbA1c

    HbA1c %
    Average blood glucose level mmol/l
    Average blood glucose level mg/dl
    13 18 mmol/l 324 mg/dl
    12 17 mmol/l 306 mg/dl
    11 15 mmol/l 270 mg/dl
    10 13 mmol/l 234 mg/dl
    9 12 mmol/l 216 mg/dl
    8 10 mmol/l 180 mg/dl
    7 8 mmol/l 141 mg/dl
    6 7 mmol/l 125 mg/dl
    5 5 mmol/l 90 mg/dl

    HbA1c levels by coincidence nearly equate to glucose levels. So an HbA1c level of 10%
     means the average glucose level for the previous 10 weeks was 13 mmol/l (234 mg/dl).

    But at lower levels there is even less difference, so an  HbA1c of 7% means the average glucose level was
    8 mmol/l (141 mg/dl).

    Embrace your diabetes

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

    What is happening in type 2 diabetes

    First, there is a shortage of insulin

    Second, there is insulin resistance.

    Third, there are genes

    These factors combine to cause type 2 diabetes

     

    Pattern of progression
    1. At the beginning of type 2 diabetes a 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 glucose levels are 4 - 7 mmol/l (72-126 mg/dl) (when you wake up)
    • test your blood glucose 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)

    Fruit

    Cure and Cause of Diabetes :  by Dr. James Howenstine, M.D.

    Sugar in the form of fruit contains fiber that delays absorption and thus moderates the rise in blood sugar
    values when fruit is consumed. Refined white sugar, sucrose, and dextrose lack fiber and nutrients.
    When consumed in food or drinks the refined sugar rapidly goes into
     the blood stream and produces a sharp rise in blood sugar values. The pancreas secretes large amounts of
    insulin to promptly return high blood sugar values to normal.

    Cure and Cause of Diabetes :  by Dr. James Howenstine, M.D.

    Why Do Diabetics Become Obese?
    When the pre-diabetic person is experiencing chronic high insulin values with too many carbohydrate calories,
     this insulin is converting some of the excess glucose into the fat triglyceride, which gets stored in fat cells
    which end up distended in an obese patient.

    Insulin levels -in insulin resistance -  phantom of the metabolic opera

    Conceptually, identifying the metabolic syndrome (or insulin resistance) identifies risk for cardiovascular

    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.

    Fats?

    Know Your Fats by the American Heart Association
     

    Knowing which fats raise LDL cholesterol and which ones don't is the first step in lowering your risk of heart disease. In addition to the LDL produced naturally by your body, saturated fat, trans-fatty acids and dietary cholesterol can also raise blood cholesterol. Monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats appear to not raise LDL cholesterol; some studies suggest they might even help lower LDL cholesterol slightly when eaten as part of a low-saturated and trans-fat diet.

    The American Heart Association's Nutrition Committee strongly advises these fat guidelines for healthy Americans over age 2:  read more ......

    For example, a sedentary female who is 31–50 years old needs about 2,000 calories each day. Therefore, she should consume less than 16 g saturated fat, less than 2 g trans fat and between 50 and 70 grams of total fat each day (with most fats coming from sources of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, such as fish, nuts, seeds and vegetable oils).

    Small, dense LDL particles?

     

    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.

    How It Works

     

    Phase 1, the shortest Phase, lasts for just two weeks and is designed to eliminate cravings for sugar
    and refined starches - and to jump-start your weight loss. The purpose of Phase 1 is to stabilize blood sugar
    (which minimizes cravings), making it ideal for people who are prediabetic or diabetic, as well as for those
    who need to lose a lot of weight.
     

     

     

     

    Phase 2 is the long-term weight-loss Phase of the plan. It's also the perfect place to start for those people
    who have 10 pounds or less to lose, who don't have problems with cravings, who don't have excess belly fat,
    or who simply want to improve their health.
     

     

    By now, you've adopted the South Beach Diet lifestyle, making smart food choices that fit the way you live.
    That's what Phase 3 is all about, and it begins once you reach your healthy weight. In Phase 3, you'll
    continue to follow the principles you learned in Phases 1 and 2, but because it's the lifelong stage of the
    plan, it includes almost every kind of food and it allows for additional occasional indulgences.
    It is the key to maintaining a healthy weight for life.

     Type 2 Diabetes Nutrition

    Type 2 Diabetes - Why Minimize Carbohydrates, Fats, Salt and Sugar

     

    With type 2 diabetes, you can actually eat just about anything you want. However, it is important to keep moderation and portion control in mind at all times. There are a few things that you must regulate in order to manage your diabetes properly. These include carbohydrates, fats, salt, and sugar. Let’s look at why each of these can be problematic.

     

    Carbohydrates are actually good for you. They provide quick energy. In those with Type 2 Diabetes, however, if not taken in properly, they can trigger blood glucose spikes. If you eat a meal heavy in carbohydrates, the digestive process will release large amounts of glucose quickly. That leads to many problems. The best way to consume them is in moderation and in combination with other types of food. There are also differences in the types of carbohydrates you eat. Some provide empty calories that the body quickly absorbs. Those come from sweets and refined grains. The best carbohydrates though come from whole grains and raw fruits. The fiber in these foods helps slow down the absorption rate and moderates glucose levels.

     

    Fat is another thing you need to watch carefully. Those with type 2 Diabetes have an increased change of heart attack and stroke. That means you must watch the kinds of food you eat in order to keep your entire body healthy. Fat comes in healthy and unhealthy varieties. The healthy types are mono and polyunsaturated fats. These usually come from plant-based foods like nuts and avocados. The unhealthy types are the saturated and trans fats. These come from meat-based sources as well as hydrogenated oils. Fat also brings a large load of calories into any meal. The best way to deal with fats is in moderation. You need fat for healthy living. Choose healthy fats over the unhealthy ones. Combine fats with other foods in a single meal.

     

    Salt is something else to watch. Excessive salt intake can elevate blood pressure. It can also lead to excessive water retention. Both of these are not good for someone with Type 2 Diabetes. Try using spices and herbs to flavor food instead of salt. Use less salt whenever possible. Watch processed foods for high sodium content. Sugar is that oh so tempting thing that many a diabetic misses. Sugar usually comes in the form of fat laden sweets. They are empty calories. The body absorbs it quickly and the blood glucose shoots straight up. Don’t take them off the table, but only consume them in moderation.

     Diabetes Type 2 Diet

    Type 2 Diabetes - Making Dietary Changes

     

    There is no special diet that you must go on if you have Type 2 Diabetes. There is no one standing at the grocery cash register monitoring what foods you purchase. No one will stop you from ordering your favorite foods in a restaurant. However, you must make some changes if you hope to keep your Diabetes under control. The changes involve making some strategic shifts in what you eat, when you eat, and how much you eat.

     

    Everyone needs to watch what they eat when they have type 2 diabetes. Diabetes brings higher risks of heart disease, stroke, and renal failure. There is a higher chance of going blind or losing a limb. Making better food choices can lessen the risk of all of these complications significantly. Carbohydrates are not off the table. They provide a good balance to keep your glucose levels steady, if you eat them properly. That means eating them in smaller portions and in combination with proteins and healthy fats. Eating healthy fats instead of unhealthy ones will help lower your risk of heart disease. Lower your salt intake. Flavor your foods with spices and herbs instead. Use sweets as an occasional treat, not a mainstay of your diet.

     

    Everyone needs to watch when they eat when they have Type 2 Diabetes. Many people find themselves eating one or two large meals every day. That is not a healthy pattern for Diabetics. Eating too many calories at a single sitting can lead to large spikes and drops in glucose levels. It is important to spread calories out over the entire day. Many diabetics have great luck with a series of five or six small meals instead of a two to three large ones. Combining foods is also important throughout the day to spread out carbohydrates and fats.

     

    Everyone needs to watch how much they eat when they have type 2 Diabetes. Weight control is very important with diabetes. The further you lower your weight towards the healthy zone, the better control you will likely get over your diabetes. Losing weight lowers the amount of insulin resistance also. Consuming the right types of foods in the right proportions at the right times allows those with diabetes to eat just about anything they want. It is just a wakeup call to adopt healthy eating habits. That is a call that most of the general population should heed to avoid developing diabetes themselves.

     Treatment For Type 2 Diabetes

    Type 2 Diabetes - Lower My Cholesterol !

     

    One of the many things you learn when you get a type 2 Diabetes diagnosis is that heart disease comes along with it. Those with diabetes have a significantly higher risk of developing heart disease. This can lead to heart attack or stroke and could be deadly. That is why it is very important to keep cholesterol levels in the healthy range. When your cholesterol gets out of control, your chances of developing heart problems will be out of control as well. Moderate your cholesterol as soon as you can.

     

    What are healthy cholesterol ranges for those with Type 2 Diabetes? They are actually the same for everyone. Cholesterol tests check for four things: your total cholesterol level, your HDL level, your LDL level, and your triglyceride level. Let’s look at the total cholesterol level first. The healthy range for total cholesterol is below 200 mg/dl (5.2 mmol/l) as long as your other levels are healthy as well. If the total is between 200 and 239 mg/dl (5.2  -  6.2 mmol/l), you are in the borderline area of having high cholesterol. If your total is 240 mg/dl (6.2 mmol/l) or higher, you officially have high cholesterol.

     

    Monitoring your HDL and LDL numbers is very important to those with type 2 diabetes.

     

    HDL is the good type of cholesterol. You want those numbers to be higher instead of lower. Your HDL number above 60 mg/dl (1.6 mmol/l) falls in the good range. If you are a woman, if your HDL is between 50 and 60 mg/dl (1.3 - 1.6 mmol/l), you are at risk for high cholesterol. If you are a man, if your HDL is between 40 and 50 mg/dl (1.03- 1.3), you are at risk for high cholesterol. Below 40 mg/dl (1.03 mmol/l) and anyone is the danger zone.

     

    LDL is the bad cholesterol. The lower your number goes the better. The best news is if your LDL is below 100 mg/dl (2.6 mmol/l). If your numbers fall between 100 and 129 mg/dl (2.6  - 3.3 mmol/l), it is not optimal, but no real worries. If it falls between 130 and 159 mg/dl (3.3  - 4.1 mmol/l), you are in the borderline area. If it falls between 160 and 189 mg/dl (4.1 - 4.9 mmol/l), you officially have high cholesterol. If it is above 190 mg/dl (4.9 mmol/l), you are in the danger zone.

     

    Triglycerides are a form of fat that often rises when cholesterol rises. That is why doctors measure it along with cholesterol levels in those with Type 2 Diabetes. The lower your number goes the better off you will be. If your triglycerides are less than 150 mg/dl (1.7 mmol/l), you are in the good range. If they fall between 150 and 199 mg/dl (1.7 - 2.25 mmol/l) , that is the borderline area. If they fall between 200 and 499 mg/dl (2.25 -5.6 mmol/l), you have high numbers. Over 500 mg/dl (5.6 mmol/l), you are in the danger zone.

     Type 2 Diabetes Symptom

    Type 2 Diabetes - Are My Eyes in Danger?

     

    Most adults who develop blindness in the US have Diabetes. Diabetic retinopathy happens when the uncontrolled glucose damages the blood vessels inside the retina. It begins gradually and often remains undetected until the damage is extensive. Early symptoms include blurry vision or seeing double. Some report seeing rings, dark spots, or floating blank areas. It also can cause pressure in the eye that may be painful in some people. Some patients also have trouble seeing out of the corners of their eyes. Sometimes straight lines appear to go wavy. If you have any of these symptoms, see your doctor as soon as possible.

     

    How do you prevent or delay damage to your eyes? The first essential is carefully managing your diabetes. Most damage to your eye comes from the high levels of glucose in the blood stream. Keeping your glucose under control is essential. That means adopting healthy eating and exercise habits. It means monitoring your glucose levels carefully. The second essential is having your eyes checked regularly to catch problems early. Those with type 2 diabetes should have a thorough eye exam at least once a year. Early detection can delay or prevent blindness.

     

    Controlling your blood pressure is also part of the formula for avoiding eye damage. Higher blood pressure causes damage to the eyes also. Combined with high glucose levels and the combination can cause more damage. Smoking is also a problem you need to solve if you have Type 2 Diabetes. What can you do if you already detect eye damage? It is important to prevent further damage if possible. That means controlling your glucose levels. Talk with your doctor about modifying your exercise routine. Some forms of exercise like lifting heavy weights or high impact sports can cause further damage. It is also important to make sure you are taking your medications properly. Poor eyesight leads to accidental overdoses all the time. Take caution.

     

    What treatments are available for those with eye damage? This is an area where research has made some advances. Laser treatments have shown promise in reversing the damage done by blood glucose. Doctors have found that injections of corticosteroids help as well. The best remedy is not having the damage happen in the first place. That is another reason why managing your diabetes is so important. Your eyes depend on you to keep things in check. If you don’t, you may lose your window on the world.

     Type 2 Diabetes Sugar

    Type 2 Diabetes - Seek Help When your Blood Sugar Is Really High

     

    Blood sugar levels can get too high in some people with Type 2 Diabetes. Doctors call this condition hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia leads to the definitive diagnosis of diabetes in the first place. However, when blood glucose levels reach danger levels, it can spell big trouble. An incident of exceptionally high blood sugar can be a sign of a serious underlying condition called ketoacidosis. This condition can lead to diabetic coma or even death if not treated in time. Knowing when to worry is vital in dealing with diabetes.

     

    Blood sugar level spikes are normal when managing type 2 diabetes. Many people see a spike within the first hour after eating a meal. It often happens if you ingest more carbohydrates than normal. It can happen if you are not taking your medications properly. It can happen when you are not eating properly. It can happen if you are not exercising, as you should. Illness or stress can also drive those numbers up. Some medications can drive glucose levels up as well. A single spike is not something about which to worry. However, if the spike doesn’t drop down after a few hours, then you may have something about which to worry.

     

    If your blood sugar levels continue to rise and do not abate, contact your doctor as soon as possible. If you have a urine kit to test for ketones, monitor this as well. If you begin to develop ketones, contact your doctor as soon as possible. You may be developing ketoacidosis. This condition develops when the body does not have enough insulin to convert glucose into energy. When there is not enough insulin for breaking down the glucose, the cells seek other sources of energy. Fat cells provide this alternate source. The process of burning fatty acids produces a byproduct known as ketones. When too many ketones get into the system, it causes ketoacidosis. In those with Type 2 Diabetes, it can be life threatening.

     

    Ketoacidosis can be very severe. It usually has something behind the scenes causing it in those with type 2 Diabetes. It could be an infection or severe illness. Immediate treatment of the high glucose levels with insulin is required. However, getting to the underlying cause is just as important for long-term management. If you don’t get to the underlying problem, the ketoacidosis may persist or return. The elevated glucose also does damage to many parts of the body.

     Living With Type 2 Diabetes

    Type 2 Diabetes - Is Ketoacidosis (or DKA) a Problem for Me?

     

    For those with type 2 diabetes, ketoacidosis can be extremely dangerous. What is ketoacidosis in the first place though? This condition develops when the body does not have enough insulin in the body. Cells use insulin to break down glucose for energy. When there is not enough insulin for breaking down the glucose, the cells go looking for other sources of energy. The next stop is fat cells. They begin burning the fatty acids. This process produces a side effect known as ketones. Ketones begin building in the body. If too much gets into the system, it causes ketoacidosis.

     

    What are the symptoms of ketoacidosis? The first symptoms are likely going to be mild. These include fatigue, muscle stiffness, abdominal pain, headache, and decreased appetite. Then things may begin to get worse. Shortness of breath may develop. It will not improve when you lie down. Deep rapid breathing or nausea harkens that the symptoms are becoming severe. Mental faculties begin to slow down. Coma is a real possibility if you do not seek treatment immediately. Other symptoms that may appear include dry skin and mouth, increase thirst, increased urination, flushed face, and breath that smells fruity.

     

    How do doctors treat ketoacidosis? Without insulin, your blood glucose levels are going to be high. Getting insulin in the blood stream is a priority. Ketoacidosis usually involves severe hydration. Doctors will order intravenous fluids in order to get fluids back into the tissue. This condition comes from the lack of insulin. The treatment must focus on why insulin production shut down or decreased so much. This often involves an infection or underlying disease. Treatment must include dealing with the primary cause of this loss of insulin. Treating the other symptoms will not do any good unless you eliminate or regulate the primary cause.

     

    What can cause ketoacidosis? For those with Type 2 Diabetes, this is a rare condition. However, in certain circumstances, it can happen. Most often, a severe illness or infection will cause insulin production to drop. Those of African-American and Hispanic origins seem to have it more often than other populations. How do you recognize it before it becomes a problem? Many Diabetics keep urine test strips around to monitor for high levels of ketones. Your doctor can perform other tests that will detect it. Learn the warning signs and take measure if you detect any problems. It might save your life.

     Control Type 2 Diabetes

    Type 2 Diabetes - Treatment Involves Healthy Eating and Being Active (Work those Muscles !)

     

    Treating Type 2 Diabetes will take making some changes in your life. Most people receive their diagnosis when carrying excess weight. Most receive it when they practice unhealthy eating habits. Most receive it when they live a sedentary lifestyle. To get ahead of the disease before it takes its toll requires making some healthy choices to change parts of your life. Will it be easy? That is not likely. However, without these changes, the chances of developing severer complications will escalate. What sorts of changes do you need to make when you have diabetes? These are eating healthier, exercising more, and losing weight.

     

    Eating healthier will help you manage your type 2 diabetes. What does eating healthier mean? It translates to eating more foods that are good for you, lowering the amount of food you eat, controlling portions, spreading carbohydrates out, and learning more about food in general. Adding more vegetables and heart healthy fats will help keep your cholesterol in check. Adding fiber will help moderate glucose levels. That means more whole grain foods. Lowering the amount of saturated and trans fats are crucial for heart health. Limiting the amount of sugars you consume is critical for glucose management.

     

    Exercising more will also help you manage your Type 2 Diabetes. Research shows a direct link between physical activity and insulin resistance. The less active you are, the higher your insulin resistance goes. The more active you are, the lower your insulin resistance goes. Insulin resistance is at the core of this form of Diabetes. You want to get rid of it as much as possible. Getting active also promotes heart health by lowering cholesterol and blood pressure levels. Heart health is very important for diabetics since they have an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. Start out slow and work your way up.

     

    Losing weight is another vital component to managing your type 2 diabetes. By just losing five to ten percent of your body weight, you can significantly affect your control. In combination with eating right and exercising, some patients find they can manage their diabetes without insulin injections. Even if it delays it for years, that is a good thing. Losing weight also lowers insulin resistance. Making these changes will help you live a long and healthy life managing your diabetes. Not making these changes will likely shorten your life while Diabetes takes over your life. It is your choice to make.

     Treatment For Type 2 Diabetes

    Type 2 Diabetes – Medications

     

    Most people thing of insulin when it comes to type 2 diabetes and medications. That is the primary defense for those that have severe diabetes. However, a growing number of other medications that those with Diabetes take to help regulate their health. They fall into several categories and affect the body in different ways. Let’s look at them as well as insulin. Insulin is the primary medication many people take. Most insulin today is a synthetic form of the natural hormone. There are still sources for natural insulin from animals, but that is getting harder to find.

     

    The first group of oral medications for those with Type 2 Diabetes goes by the name of sulfonylureas. These drugs help stimulate insulin production in the pancreas. They have been around for over 50 years and newer formulations are more effective. Another group of oral medications is meglitinides. These drugs also stimulate insulin production. It is important not to mix these drugs with alcohol consumption. It can lead to severe drops in glucose levels. Some of these drugs will also mix with alcohol and cause severe nausea or sickness.

     

    Biguanides affect the amount of glucose produced by the liver. That helps regulate the amount of glucose that gets into the blood stream. That is very important with type 2 diabetes. It also helps make muscle cells able to absorb insulin more effectively. This also brings down glucose levels. The most common issue with this drug may be diarrhea. Taking it with food alleviates that problem though. Thiazolidinediones work much like the previous group. They help elevate the insulin absorption by the muscle cells and lower the amount of glucose produced by the liver. There may be an increased risk of heart problems with these drugs though. Talk with your doctor about any concerns you have with any of these drugs.

     

    Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors work to block the breakdown of carbohydrates in the digestive system. This helps slow down the absorption of glucose. For effectively, this medication must be taken right at the beginning of a meal. DPP-4 inhibitors help prevent the breakdown of GLP-1. GLP-1 is a natural compound that helps reduce glucose levels. The body breaks down the compound quickly. By slowing that down, it keeps the GLP-1 in action longer. Your doctor may decide to put you on one or more of these drug in order to manage your diabetes better. Knowing what is available is the first step.

     Living With Type 2 Diabetes

    Type 2 Diabetes - Sick Day Advice

     

    Type 2 Diabetes often means that you have to take extra precautions when you come down with an illness. The symptoms of a cold or the flu can affect your blood glucose levels. Vomiting and nausea can lead to dehydration issues. Infections also trigger increased levels of blood sugar. It is extremely important to take steps to monitor and manage your diabetes when faced with a common illness. It will keep the complications at bay.

     

    The first step is to check your glucose levels at least every four hours. Do it more often if you feel any symptoms of high or low blood sugar. If you find your blood sugar above 240 mg/dl (13.3  mmol/L), test for ketones in your urine. If you find ketones, get hold of your doctor immediately. These are byproducts caused by your body burning fatty acids instead of glucose. This may mean that your insulin levels are dangerously low due to the illness or an underlying infection. It is important to get medical help as soon as possible since it can lead to ketoacidosis in patients with Type 2 Diabetes and in some cases to a Diabetic coma.

     

    Take your temperature regularly as well. This can also show if an infection is lying in there. Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day. If you have nausea, attempt to keep down water. If you cannot keep down water or food, consult your doctor immediately. You might need to go to the emergency room before severe dehydration hits. If you are taking insulin injections, do not stop them. It is important to keep your glucose levels in check. Drinking something with sugar will help keep your glucose in normal ranges if you cannot keep down solids. Consult with your doctor about any over the counter medications you might take. Some contain high levels of sugar and that is not good for people with type 2 diabetes. There are versions available that are not though.

     

    Call your doctor if you have any nausea or vomiting. Call your doctor if you have a fever higher than 101 degrees Fahrenheit (38.3 degrees Celsius). Call your doctor if you cannot keep fluids or solids down. Call your doctor if your glucose goes above 180 mg/dL (10 mmol/L) or falls below 70 mg/dL (3.8 mmol/l). Call your doctor if you develop ketones in your urine. Monitoring your health is very important when you are sick and have Type 2 Diabetes as well.

     Control Type 2 Diabetes

    Type 2 Diabetes - Alcohol? Too Much is Not the Best ??

     

    Alcohol is not off the plate if you have received a Type 2 Diabetes. However, it is something you must only have in moderation and using your head for the best results. The body deals with alcohol much like it deals with fat. Alcohol also contains empty calories. Your blood sugar levels can rise when you consume it. Drinking in moderation when your diabetes is under control is still possible. Do it consciously instead of unconsciously. If you have had more than one or two drinks, it is likely time to stop. There are consequences to consuming alcohol as a diabetic.

     

    Drinking too much alcohol when you have type 2 diabetes can actually cause your blood sugars to drop quickly. This is reactive hypoglycemia. Beer and sweeter wines contain a large amount of carbohydrates. If you consume one or two, you will likely see your blood glucose levels rise. When you start consuming much more than that, your pancreas starts releasing large amounts of insulin in reaction to the glucose levels. In some cases, the insulin takes over the system and brings glucose levels straight down into the danger zone. If you are going to drink, make sure you are around people who know your condition and are not going to drink excessively.

     

    Alcohol tends to stimulate appetite in anyone. For those with Type 2 Diabetes, that can mean trouble if you don’t take care. This appetite stimulation can cause you to eat more than you should. When combined with the glucose from the alcohol, you may find your blood sugars spiking. You also are eating more calories and fats than you need to maintain your ideal weight. Consume alcohol as part of a meal instead of on its own. By combining it with counterbalances, the affects will be less.

     

    Alcohol can have other affects on those with type 2 Diabetes. Alcohol can affect triglyceride levels. If you have heart issues, this is not a good thing. It can also raise blood pressure. Some oral medications and insulin react with alcohol. If you want a drink, try to avoid the sweet wines and go for the robust ones. They contain lower amounts of sugars. Mix harder alcohol with water or Diet soft drinks. Drink slowly and enjoy it. The idea is to use this as a treat occasionally. If you have an issue with alcohol dependency, talk with your doctor as soon as possible.

    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.

    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.
