Carbs - Addicted to Carbs
Carbs make us hungry. When we're hungry, we eat more. The more we eat the more we want,
so we gain weight. It's the classic vicious circle of addiction

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.

Research Paper

Diet - change & control http--www.nutritionandmetabolism.com-content-3-1-16

Research Paper.

We determined that, of the carbohydrates present in the diet, absorbed glucose is largely responsible
 for the food-induced increase in blood sugar  concentration. We also determined that dietary protein
 increases insulin secretion and lowers blood sugar . Fat does not significantly affect
 blood sugar , but can affect insulin secretion and modify the absorption of carbohydrates.
Based on these data, we tested the efficacy of diets with various protein:carbohydrate:fat ratios for 5 weeks on blood sugar  control in people with untreated type 2 diabetes.

The results were compared to those obtained in the same subjects after 5 weeks on a control diet
with a protein:carbohydrate:fat ratio of 15:55:30.

A 30:40:30 ratio diet resulted in a moderate but significant decrease in 24-hour integrated glucose area
and % total glycohemoglobin (%tGHb).
A 30:20:50 ratio diet resulted in a 38% decrease in 24-hour glucose area, a reduction in fasting glucose to near normal and
a decrease in  %tGHb from 9.8% to 7.6%.
The response to a 30:30:40 ratio diet was similar.

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.   Consumer Nutrition and Health Information FDA Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/lab-cons.html Nutrition MedlinePlus Health Information http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/nutrition.html 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.

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.

Food pyramid he Diabetic Food Pyramid - A Guide To Healthy Eating

 

To learn more about the diabetic food pyramid visit http://www.diabetes-diabetic-diet-plans.com , a popular website devoted to help people with diabetes live a healthier life. The website provides tips on diabetic food, cooking and diet plans, as well as information several complications associated with the disease.

List of Foods a Diabetic Can Eat

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.

Diabetic Food Pyramid

The diabetic food pyramid is much like the regular food pyramid.
The difference of course being that the diabetic food pyramid is designed to limit
 sugars in the diet.

Gastric bypass cures diabetes

The Bypass Effect On Diabetes

A group of patients say they all had diabetes before the operation; post-surgery, none have diabetes.

Gastric bypass often cures type 2 diabetes, but other problems may arise
No doubt, remission of type 2 diabetes is one of the benefits of gastric bypass,
but the exact reason why remission follows the surgery isn't clear.
But it is controversial.

GI Index - Mendosa.com

The glycemic index should not be your only criterion when selecting what to eat.

The total amount of carbohydrate, the amount and type of fat, and the fiber and salt content are also important
dietary considerations.

Control of type 2 diabetes

by David Kinshuck, Pat Lamb, Urmilla Griffiths (Pat & Urmila: diabetes specialist nurses, Good Hope Hospital)  

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

At the beginning of type 2 diabetes a healthy diet may be sufficient to lower the sugar and keep the HbA1c below 7% Later, metformin is needed. Later still, add Exanatide if overweight or other drug. 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

How Blood Sugar Control 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.

How to Lower

& Testing

How to Lower Your Blood Sugar

Hunger

Hunger - Insulin can cause  it

When there's too much insulin, blood sugar levels begin to fall (hypoglycemia), triggering a feeling of hunger
and the constant need to eat, which also causes weight gain and fat storage.

Hunger & Carbs

Hungry - Diabetes - Addicted to Carbs

Carbs make us hungry. When we're hungry, we eat more. The more we eat the more we want,
so we gain weight. It's the classic vicious circle of addiction.

 

Exercise works like a charm to lower glucose levels. The best time of the day to exercise is after a meal.
This doesn't mean that you put your fork down and run out the door, but maybe within the following two hours.
Even a brief 10-minute walk can make a difference in postprandial (after meals) glucose levels.

DHEA May Postpone Or Prevent Insulin Resistance

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

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.

Sharp rises  in insulin output may cause overshooting the desired blood sugar and it is common for
 these individuals to have blood sugar values plummet to low levels with symptoms of low blood sugar
 (weakness, sweating, cloudy thinking, lack of energy, hunger, shakiness).

With the passage of time this massive output of insulin provoked by huge sugar intakes takes a
toll on the pancreas and reaches the point where the pancreas is unable to produce any greater
quantities of insulin. When this occurs sugar no longer enters the cells in adequate
amounts to prevent rising blood sugar values. The diagnosis of diabetes can be made with now
elevated blood sugar values but the problem obviously began many years earlier with the first signs of insulin excess.

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.

Insulin and Obesity

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.

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).
