There is new innovation for providing food for diabetics and those conscious of their health as NTUC Foodfare has launched a new line of affordable ready-to-eat meals, called Chef's Finest Low-GI, that are suitable for people with diabetes.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: SelaneTen, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 19px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
The lower-glycaemic index<br />
<a name='more'></a>(GI) meals come in five flavours: Nonya rendang chicken, Vietnamese lemongrass baked chicken, Teochew braised duck, braised soy chicken, and baked cheese seafood tomato rice.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: SelaneTen, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 19px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
All the microwaveable frozen meals are made with brown rice and barley instead of white rice, and are certified halal.<br />
<br />
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: SelaneTen, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; margin-bottom: 20px;">
They are the first low-GI ready-to-eat meals to be endorsed by the Health Promotion Board (HPB) as being suitable for those with diabetes, and bear the Healthier Choice label.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: SelaneTen, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; margin-bottom: 20px;">
They are available at more than 20 NTUC FairPrice outlets starting from Monday (Dec 10) and cost between $3.90 and $5.90.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: SelaneTen, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Calories for the meals range from 398kcal for the tomato rice to 496kcal for the braised duck.</div>

<i style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Yes! Intermittent fasting can improve insulin sensitivity, pancreatic response to blood sugars, and even prevent prediabetes from turning into diabetes.</i></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 13px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Every person is a unique individual with different metabolism, so there is not just one treatment for type 2 diabetes. Intermittent fasting has been around for a long time and has shown over many studies to have a number of benefits, especially in preventing diabetes.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 13px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
In the most current study results, which included eight men with prediabetes, it was found that those who followed early time-restricted feeding — where all calories for the day are consumed by mid-afternoon and within eight hours or less — had improvements in insulin sensitivity and pancreatic response to elevated blood glucose, compared with those who ate meals over a 12-hour period, even when eating the same number of calories. The findings also revealed an association between the shorter, earlier eating pattern and a significant reduction in blood pressure, oxidative stress, and evening appetite levels.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 13px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
For this study at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center, the results showed that eating all of one’s meals by mid-afternoon and fasting the rest of the day improves blood sugar control, blood pressure and oxidative stress, even when people don’t change what they eat.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 13px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
“This is the first study in humans that shows consuming all of your calories in a six-hour period provides metabolic advantages compared to eating the exact same amount over 12 hours or more, even if you don’t lose weight,” said Dr. Eric Ravussin, associate executive director of Pennington Biomedical, director of the Nutrition Obesity Research Center, and one of the study’s co-authors.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 13px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
The data also indicate that our feeding regimen has to be synchronized with the body’s circadian rhythm and biological clock.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 13px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Dr. Courtney Peterson, an adjunct assistant professor at Pennington Biomedical and an assistant professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, was the primary investigator on the study.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 13px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
The research is important because it shows for the first time in humans that the benefits of intermittent fasting are not solely due to eating less. Practicing intermittent fasting has intrinsic benefits regardless of what you eat. Also, the study shows that eating early in the day may be a particularly beneficial form of intermittent fasting.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 13px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Peterson hopes that the research will also raise awareness of the role of the body’s internal biological clock — called the circadian system — in health.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 13px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
We know that eating at night is bad for your metabolism. Our bodies are optimized to do certain things at certain times of the day and eating in sync with our circadian rhythms seems to improve our health in multiple ways. For instance, our body’s ability to keep our blood sugar under control is better in the morning than it is in the afternoon and the evening, so it makes sense to eat most of our food in the morning and early afternoon.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 13px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Previous studies showed intermittent fasting improves metabolism and health. However, researchers didn’t know whether these effects are simply because people ate less and lost weight.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 13px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
They decided to conduct the first highly controlled study to determine whether the benefits of intermittent fasting are solely due to eating less. The study was also the first to test a form of intermittent fasting called early time-restricted feeding, or eTRF in humans. Early time-restricted feeding involves combining time-restricted feeding — a type of intermittent fasting where people eat in an 8-hour or shorter period each day — with eating early in the day to be in alignment with the body’s circadian rhythms in metabolism. It is tantamount to eating dinner in the mid-afternoon and then fasting for the rest of the day.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 13px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
In the study, eight men with prediabetes tried following eTRF and eating at typical American meal times for five weeks each. On the eTRF schedule, the men each started breakfast between 6:30-8:30 am each morning, finished eating six hours later, and then fasted for the rest of the day — about 18 hours. Everyone finished dinner no later than 3 p.m. By contrast, on the typical American schedule, they ate their meals spread across a 12-hour period. The men ate the same foods on each schedule, and the researchers carefully monitored the men to make sure that they ate at the correct times and only ate the food that the researchers gave them.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 13px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
The researchers found that eTRF improved insulin sensitivity, which reflects how quickly cells can take up blood sugar, and it also improved their pancreases’ ability to respond to rising blood sugar levels. The researchers also found that eTRF dramatically lowered the men’s blood pressure, as well as their oxidative stress levels and their appetite levels in the evening.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 13px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
These findings could lead to better ways to help prevent type 2 diabetes and hypertension.</div>

<br style="color: #333333; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">According to Professor Schulze: "Our findings highlight the importance of preventing the development of metabolic diseases. They suggest that even individuals in good metabolic health may benefit from early behavioural management to improve their diet and increased physical activity in order to guard against progression to poor metabolic health."</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="color: #333333; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">In addition Benedict Jephcote, Editor of Diabetes.co.uk, said: "The take-home message from this study is that those who are at a healthy weight, and metabolically healthy too, are in the best position to avoid heart disease.

<br style="color: #333333; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Hippocampal calcification is a build up of calcium in the hippocampus, an important area of the brain responsible for memory. </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Previous research suggests that hippocampal calcification may contribute to a greater risk of dementia which causes memory problems, and possible complication of diabetes. </span><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">The lead author of the study, Dr Esther de Brouwer, a geriatrician at the University Medical Center in Utrecht, the Netherlands, said: "We know that calcifications in the hippocampus are common, especially with increasing age.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> However, we did not know if calcifications in the hippocampus related to cognitive function."</span><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">The researchers were able to assess changes in the hippocampus in people who had high blood pressure</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">, diabetes and smoked by using a brain CT scan.</span><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">The results of cognitive tests and CT scans of 1,991 people were analysed. The average age of the participants was 78 years. 380 participants, representing 19 per cent of those taking part, showed hippocampal calcification. Three factors older age, diabetes and smoking</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> were associated with an increased risk of hippocampal calcifications on CT scans.</span><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Dr de Brouwer said: "We do think that smoking and diabetes are risk factors. In a recent histopathology study, hippocampal calcifications were found to be a manifestation of vascular disease. It is well known that smoking and diabetes are risk factors for cardiovascular diseases.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> It is, therefore, likely that smoking and diabetes are risk factors for hippocampal calcifications."</span><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">The two risk factors, diabetes and smoking are modifiable.

<br />
Every time you eat, your blood sugar levels go up. This is especially true for individuals who have type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance.<br />
<br />
Having to learn how to control your blood sugar levels within a healthy range is by no means an easy task. It can take months for a newly diagnosed patient to learn what to eat and what to avoid.<br />
<br />
And during this period of time, someone with type 2 diabetes is likely to experience high blood sugar levels, which is detrimental to their overall health.<br />
<br />
Too much sugar in the blood for long periods of time can increase your risk of heart disease and stroke, kidney disease, vision problems, and nerve problems. (1)<br />
<br />
How To Control Blood Sugar Levels<br />
<br />
For the majority of healthy individuals, normal blood sugar levels are as follows: Between 4.0 to 6.0 mmol/L (72 to 108 mg/dL) when fasting. Up to 7.8 mmol/L (140 mg/dL) 2 hours after eating. (2)<br />
<br />
For people with insulin resistance, their blood sugar levels remain high long after having finished their meal.<br />
<br />
Fortunately, there are many foods you can eat that can help you control blood sugar levels naturally. As you’ll learn eventually, relying on expensive diabetes drugs in the long-run can have negative side effects on your body.<br />
<br />
Below is a powerful remedy that combines three simple ingredients to prevent your blood sugar levels from going rampant.<br />
<br />
For this recipe all you will need is apple cider vinegar, water, and a boiled egg.<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
<br />
Boil an egg in the afternoon, and peel it. Pierce the egg a 2-3 times using a toothpick. Put the egg in a mason jar and pour just enough vinegar over it so that it is completely covered. Close the jar and let it soak overnight in your refrigerator.<br />
<br />
The next morning, drink a glass of warm water and eat your egg.<br />
<br />
Repeat this every day, and you will soon notice an improvement in your blood sugar levels.<br />
<br />
Why It Works<br />
<br />
A few hard-boiled eggs can be a handy high-protein snack or breakfast if you have diabetes. The protein will help keep you full without affecting your blood sugar. Protein not only slows digestion, it also slows glucose absorption, which is very helpful to diabetics. (3)<br />
<br />
Apple cider vinegar makes you more sensitive to insulin and reduces blood sugar spikes, particularly after eating starchy food. The findings of one study showed positive results for people with type 2 diabetes when taken before a glucose-heavy meal. (4)<br />
<br />
Your health is in your own hands. A hard-boiled egg and apple cider vinegar are relatively cheap to purchase compared to common diabetes drugs. Plus, they’re much better for you in the long run.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: , "arial" , "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">According to a new study, there is further evidence to the harms of consuming to much sugar sweetened drinks. Using data obtained in the prospective EPIC-Norfolk study, Laura O'Connor and colleagues from Cambridge University show that for each 5% increase of a person’s total energy intake provided by sweet drinks including soft drinks, the risk of developing type 2 diabetes may increase by 18%. Conversely, replacing the daily consumption of one serving of a sugary drink with either water or unsweetened tea or coffee can lower the risk of developing diabetes by between 14% and 25%, so there is hope for those who see the error of their ways.</span>Akinola Olusegunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08056257519384883017noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536787439533504024.post-46283706022607481912018-01-31T19:20:00.000+01:002018-01-31T19:20:15.713+01:00Link between diabetes and cognitive brain damageOne of the greatest reviews on the connection between blood sugar and brain perform has found that humans with prediabetes and diabetes experience worse long-time period cognitive decline than people with typical blood sugar levels. The results underscore simply how damaging impaired blood sugar is for overall health.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Earlier studies have linked diabetes with reduced brain function, but this is the biggest to seek out an instantaneous relationship between A1c blood phases and threat of long-time period cognitive decline. The A1c scan (referred to as the HbA1c experiment ) reflects natural blood sugar for the previous two to three months. Diabetes is commonly outlined by using an A1c level of 6.5% or above, the similar of 126 mg of blood sugar per deciliter. An effect of between 5.7 and 6.4% is viewed prediabetic, which shows high hazard for establishing diabetes.<br />
<br />
The study concerned about 5,000 people in the UK, ordinary age 66, including humans with typical blood sugar phases and people with levels falling in the prediabetic to diabetic variety. Cognitive operate was evaluated on the establishing of the gain knowledge of and reassessed every two years over an eight 12 months span to monitor alterations in memory, govt mind function (corresponding to decision-making speed), and overall cognitive operate.<br />
<br />
The outcome showed that those with prediabetes or diabetes had greatly reduced cognitive scores over the study period, including reminiscence and processing speed and all indicators of extra fast cognitive decline. The results held genuine even after accounting for motives like smoking, alcohol consumption, ldl cholesterol levels, depression, excessive blood strain, and demographics like age, intercourse and marital fame.<br />
<br />
The researchers found that all the contributors csuse some stage of cognitive decline (usual influence of growing old), however prediabetes and diabetes made the onset of decline come rapid and the consequences steeper than for humans with typical blood sugar.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The fairly chilling part of these outcome is less concerning the effects of diabetes (which can be already well evidenced), and more concerning the results of being even in the vicinity of diabetes.<br />
<br />
The findings show a linear correlation between circulating HbA1c levels and cognitive decline, despite diabetic.<br />
<br />
The excellent news is that getting ahead of blood sugar irregularities prior could probably slow down the price of cognitive decline.<br />
The findings recommend that interventions that extend diabetes onset, as good as management procedures for blood sugar control, might help alleviate the development of subsequent cognitive decline over the lengthy-time period, said the researchers.<br />

Research led by the tuition of Saskatchewan in Canada has showed that the diabetes drug metformin might curb the development of multidrug resistance in vitro in breast melanoma cells and may reverse resistance once it has befell.<br />
<br />
MDR could be delayed, avoided, or reversed using metformin.<br />
Terra Arnason, Ph.D. an associate professor and clinician scientist in the division and institution of medication and colleagues led the be taught. Their findings had been released within the journal PLOS ONE.<br />
<br />
Multidrug resistance (MDR) happens when a couple of cancers develop resistance to chemotherapy medicines. MDR is a giant aspect in the failure of many forms of chemotherapy, and it's typically a terminal event. It influences participants with blood cancers and stable tumors, including those with breast melanoma.<br />
<br />
How and why melanoma cells come to be resistant to medications has remained a fundamental query in melanoma research. The answer would furnish capabilities ambitions to avert and reverse resistance to healing.<br />
<br />
Persons who increase resistance to one agent frequently advance resistance to many, as a result being often called "a multi- drug resistance."<br />
<br />
Antiproliferative effect on melanoma cells<br />
<br />
Arnason and group aimed to examine the effect of metformin on MDR when used at the side of the main therapy.<br />
<br />
Metformin is a drug used to deal with type 2 diabetes when weight loss program and physical activities have not helped to manage blood sugar levels. Metformin helps to slash blood sugar by making improvements to the way in which the physique manages insulin.<br />
<br />
In prior study, metformin has been shown to have an antiproliferative effect on tumor cells, which means that the drug inhibits the growth and unfold of cancer cells.<br />
<br />
Humans with type 2 diabetes and melanoma who take metformin were said to have a 31 percentage reduction in the occurrence of recent cancers. Additionally, metformin has been advised to improve all-rationale survival in these with breast cancer.<br />
<br />
The team deliberate to evaluate the mechanisms that facilitate metformin's antiproliferative affect and experiment whether utilising metformin pretreatment might benefit or interfere with MDR cancer.<br />
<br />
They used the generally studied MCF7 breast melanoma telephone strains and demonstrated them for resistance to the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin in an effort to examine the antiproliferative outcomes of metformin.<br />
<br />
Resistance reversed after metformin use<br />
<br />
Arnason and colleagues observed that metformin had an antiproliferative effect on MCF7, including the cells that have been immune to doxorubicin.<br />
<br />
The progress of drug resistance was delayed or prevented in cells that have been pretreated with metformin. And, experiments conducted in cells cultures and mouse models of aggressive breast melanoma uncovered that MDR used to be reversed after its onset through metformin use.<br />
<br />
Together, the findings reveal the potential for metformin to be utilized as a remedy to hinder or reverse MDR. The authors write:<br />
<br />
"now we have demonstrated that metformin monotherapy has an antiproliferative result on a couple of mobilephone strains, including those selected for resistance to doxorubicin, in a dose-stylish manner."<br />
<br />
"The effect can also be observed," the study authors conclude, "when metformin is utilized in combo with other anticancer treatments in breast melanoma cells."<br />
<br />
"Our findings are regular with the developing literature base demonstrating metformin's potential to reduce the development of tumor cells in vitro."<br />
<br />
Future work by the team will involve analyzing cancer cells over many months to become aware of whether the effect of metformin is short- or long-time period.Akinola Olusegunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08056257519384883017noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536787439533504024.post-60966174545295914302018-01-31T00:42:00.000+01:002018-01-31T08:19:45.500+01:00Can type 2 diabetes turn to type 1 diabetes? <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A pervasive myth suggests that humans with type 2 diabetes can develop type 1 diabetes once they take insulin. This isn't actual.<br />
Type1 and type 2 diabetes have many elements in fashioned, including problems managing blood glucose phases. But the two conditions are certain, and one does not turn out to the other over time.<br />
<br />
Listed here, are the differences between the 2 types of diabetes and why they do not alternate.<br />
<br />
Type1 vs. type2 diabetes<br />
<br />
character with diabetes checking their blood sugar<br />
although people with diabetes all have blood sugar issues, type1 and a couple of are rather one-of-a-kind disorders.<br />
Despite the fact that they cause similar symptoms, type 1 and type 2 diabetes are distinct problems. Type 1 diabetes, generally known as juvenile diabetes, is almost always identified in childhood or early maturity.<br />
<br />
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease, this means that the body attacks its own healthy cells. This method prevents the pancreas from making insulin, the hormone that helps the physique control its blood glucose phases.<br />
<br />
Persons with type 1 diabetes have to take synthetic insulin for the rest of their lives. Way of life alterations is not going to reverse juvenile diabetes.<br />
<br />
Type 2 diabetes is the most original type of diabetes. Usually identified in adulthood, this form of diabetes interferes with the body's capability to produce and use insulin. Not like juvenile diabetes, tradition causes, similar to inactiveness or weight problems, can expand the probability of setting up type 2 diabetes.<br />
<br />
In some circumstances, the symptoms of type 2 diabetes may be managed with way of life changes, together with dropping pounds, eating a healthful weight-reduction plan, and exercising more commonly.<br />
<br />
Like different autoimmune issues, researchers don't comprehend what motives type 1 diabetes. Each environmental and genetic causes may have roles. For illustration, a individual with a gene for type 1 diabetes would now not have symptoms unless some thing within the environment prompts that gene.<br />
<br />
Once type 1 diabetes develops, the body continues attacking the pancreas unless the entire beta cells are destroyed. These beta cells are most important for producing insulin. It's thus unattainable for folks with type 1 diabetes to make insulin.<br />
<br />
Each genetic and environmental explanations additionally play a role in type 2 diabetes. Nevertheless, type 2 diabetes is extra closely related to culture.<br />
<br />
Some humans with type 2 diabetes can reduce the severity of symptoms and even do away with them with healthy culture changes, even as others remain insulin resistant even after making alterations.<br />
<br />
Insulin is a hormone that allows the body to use glucose from meals. When the body does no longer make enough insulin, or when it can not respond properly to insulin, blood glucose rises. Blood glucose is a measure of how much sugar is in the blood.<br />
<br />
Both types of diabetes may also be managed with insulin injections, but form 2 diabetes can also be managed with oral medications and subculture alterations.<br />
<br />
Can type 2 diabetes become type 1 diabetes?<br />
<br />
<br />
It's unimaginable for type 2 diabetes to turn out to be type 1.<br />
It isn't feasible for type 2 diabetes to become type 1 diabetes.<br />
<br />
Nonetheless, it's feasible for a individual who's at first identified with type 2 diabetes to be diagnosed with type 1 diabetes later.<br />
<br />
Type 2 diabetes is the most common type of diabetes, so a health care professional would initially believe an grownup with diabetes has type 2.<br />
<br />
This can be in particular authentic if the person is obese or has different danger motives for diabetes, equivalent to a sedentary way of life.<br />
<br />
It is feasible for a person with type 1 diabetes to be misdiagnosed with type 2 diabetes.<br />
<br />
Although wonderful, type 1 diabetes can show up in adulthood.<br />
<br />
A person identified with type 2 diabetes who later receives a diagnosis of type 1 don't have experienced a transformation in their diabetes however was likely misdiagnosed previous.<br />
<br />
To correctly diagnose the type of diabetes a man or woman has, a doctor will participate in a few blood glucose tests.<br />
<br />
They may additionally do blood tests to check for antibodies that attack insulin or beta cells in the pancreas. The presence of these antibodies commonly shows whether a man or woman has type 1 diabetes.<br />
<br />
Insulin dependency<br />
<br />
insulin levels being monitored<br />
it's important for men and women with diabetes to observe their insulin.<br />
Men and women with type 1 diabetes may just must make tradition alterations, such as averting high glucose meals. Lifestyle alterations by self, nevertheless, is not going to reverse or preclude type 1 diabetes. Because of this people with type 1 diabetes are insulin dependent, and the situation is oftentimes known as insulin based diabetes.<br />
<br />
Men and women with type 1 diabetes need to intently reveal their blood glucose phases. Even with everyday monitoring and commonplace insulin injections, they are going to boost dangerously high blood glucose. When this happens, they would want extra insulin or emergency hospital treatment.<br />
<br />
People with type 1 diabetes have to take insulin for the rest of their lives. Individuals with type 2 diabetes will best need insulin if other therapies fail.<br />
<br />
Type 2 diabetes is most often a progressive disease. Insulin can also be used in combination with other medicines to optimize blood sugar manage.<br />
<br />
Type 1 and type 2 diabetes are designated forms that don't alternate into one another . Nevertheless, insulin could also be used to treat both sort. While insulin is the one therapy on hand for type 1 diabetes, it is also utilized in type 2 diabetes if additional evolved levels or if different cures don't work.<br />
<br />
The signs of each forms of diabetes is also subtle at first. However, diabetes that is left untreated can cause long-term problems and generally become life-threatening.<br />
<br />
The primary signs of diabetes could incorporate accelerated thirst, improved daytime and hour of darkness urination, and unexplained weight loss. Any person with these signs should have their blood sugar demonstrated through a health practitioner. Testing is principally crucial in households with a historical past of diabetes.Akinola Olusegunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08056257519384883017noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536787439533504024.post-82234793251553755032018-01-30T23:37:00.001+01:002018-01-30T23:37:09.297+01:005 classes of food for diabetes<section class="text-description" style="color: #292221; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; position: relative;"><h3 style="font-family: Georgia, Arial; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 3px 0px 5px;">

You should eat some starchy foods every day, the charity said.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Starchy foods are used to provide cells with energy, while also regulating the digestive system.</div>

“Better options of starchy foods – such as wholegrain bread, wholewheat pasta and basmati, brown or wild rice – contain more fibre, which helps to keep your digestive system working well,” said Diabetes UK.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 10px;">

“Milk, cheese and yogurt contain calcium, which is vital for growing children as it keeps their bones and teeth strong,” said Diabetes UK.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
“Some dairy foods are high in fat, particularly saturated fat, so choose lower-fat alternatives (check for added sugar, though).”</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 10px;">

4. Fruit and vegetables</h3>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Fruit and vegetables are naturally low in fat, and are rich in vitamins, minerals and fibre.</div>

<h3 style="font-family: Georgia, Arial; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 3px 0px 5px;">
5. Fatty and sugary foods</h3>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
“You can enjoy food from this group as an occasional treat in a balanced diet, but remember that sugary foods and drinks will add extra calories – and sugary drinks will raise blood glucose – so opt for diet/light or low-calorie alternatives,” said Diabetes UK.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 10px;">

<span style="color: rgb(51 , 51 , 51); font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18.4px;">According to a research, eating a good diet is a vital healing step for people with type 2 diabetes.</span><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18.4px;" />
<span style="color: rgb(51 , 51 , 51); font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18.4px;">Thousands of studies carried out across 42 years were analysed to see which treatment yielded</span><span style="color: rgb(51 , 51 , 51); font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18.4px;"> the best results and helped people with type 2 diabetes </span><span style="color: rgb(51 , 51 , 51); font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18.4px;">change their behaviour.</span><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18.4px;" />
<span style="color: rgb(51 , 51 , 51); font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18.4px;">Researchers from the University of British Columbia (UBC) found the intervention which garnered the best results was when healthy diet</span><span style="color: rgb(51 , 51 , 51); font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18.4px;"> were provided and participants had regular contact and help from dieticans.</span><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18.4px;" />
<span style="color: rgb(51 , 51 , 51); font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18.4px;">According to Kevin Cradock, the study's first author and an Irish Research Council postgraduate scholar at the National University of Ireland (NUI) Galway: "Changing the food</span><span style="color: rgb(51 , 51 , 51); font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18.4px;"> environment is one of the keys to treating type 2 diabetes</span><span style="color: rgb(51 , 51 , 51); font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18.4px;">. Before we change the food environment we need to look carefully at what it is and how it affects us."</span><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18.4px;" />
<span style="color: rgb(51 , 51 , 51); font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18.4px;"> Feedback on behaviour, solving problems and comparing themselves to others are three major techniques found by the research team t</span><span style="color: rgb(51 , 51 , 51); font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 19.6px;">hat help people change their attitudes to food</span><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18.4px;" />
<span style="color: rgb(51 , 51 , 51); font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18.4px;">Professor Heather Gainsforth, an assistant professor at UBC Okanagan's School of Health and Exercise Sciences, remarked: "Without any support, behaviour change efforts can quickly fall apart. We need to be thinking about a better way to support people with diabetes</span><span style="color: rgb(51 , 51 , 51); font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18.4px;">.</span><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18.4px;" />
<span style="color: rgb(51 , 51 , 51); font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18.4px;">"It may seem impractical to provide food and control the food environment. However, we need to examine the viability of providing healthy meals at the beginning of a program, followed by instruction and feedback as to how to choose, shop for and prepare these foods. Gradually, this approach may support people to prepare healthy meals independently."</span> Akinola Olusegunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08056257519384883017noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536787439533504024.post-19257709542994607222017-12-21T10:23:00.000+01:002017-12-21T10:23:09.793+01:00How weight loss can reverse type 2 diabetes<div>

<span style="color: rgb(64 , 64 , 64); font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 1rem;">Many diabetics are reversing their type 2 diabetes by losing weight. Many of them achieve this by spending up to five months on a low-calorie diet of soups and shakes to cause massive weight loss.</span></div>
<div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: rgb(64 , 64 , 64); font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 1rem; line-height: 1.25rem; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
One of then is Isobel Murray, 65, who had weighed 15 stone, lost over four stone (25kg) and no longer needs diabetes pills. </div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: rgb(64 , 64 , 64); font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 1rem; line-height: 1.25rem; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
She says: "I've got my life back. I<span style="font-size: 1rem;"> don't look at myself as a diabetic at all.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: rgb(64 , 64 , 64); font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 1rem; line-height: 1.25rem; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
"You have to be fired up, you have to be prepared, but anybody can do it if you feel strongly enough."</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: rgb(64 , 64 , 64); font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 1rem; line-height: 1.25rem; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The charity Diabetes UK says the trial is a landmark and has the potential to help millions of patients.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: rgb(64 , 64 , 64); font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 1rem; line-height: 1.25rem; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Isobel, from Largs in North Ayrshire, was one of 298 people on the trial.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: rgb(64 , 64 , 64); font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 1rem; line-height: 1.25rem; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Her blood sugar levels were too high, and she got her medication increased every time she went to the doctors.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: rgb(64 , 64 , 64); font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 1rem; line-height: 1.25rem; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
So, she adopted the all-liquid diet for 17 weeks - giving up cooking and shopping. She even ate apart from her husband, Jim.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: rgb(64 , 64 , 64); font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 1rem; line-height: 1.25rem; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Instead, she had four liquid meals a day.</div>

According to Prof Roy Taylor, from Newcastle University: "It's a real watershed moment.</div>

One negative thing about this is that doctors are not calling this a cure. They said if the weight goes return, then the diabetes will return.</div>

The next question is : Why does losing weight work for diabetes?</h2>
<div style="border: 0px; color: rgb(64 , 64 , 64); font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 1rem; line-height: 1.25rem; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Answer</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: rgb(64 , 64 , 64); font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 1rem; line-height: 1.25rem; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Body fat that build around the pancreas causes stress to the beta cells in the organ that controls blood sugar levels. This will make the pancreas to <span style="font-size: 1rem;">stop producing enough of the hormone insulin, which definately causes blood sugar levels to rise out of control.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: rgb(64 , 64 , 64); font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 1rem; line-height: 1.25rem; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
So when you lose the fat or diet, you loses the fat, and then the pancreas works properly again.</div>

However, as good as the trial look, it is thought having type 2 diabetes for very long periods of time may cause irreversible damage because the trial was only carried out on patients having the disease for 6 years and below.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: rgb(64 , 64 , 64); font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 1rem; line-height: 1.25rem; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Prof Mike Lean, from Glasgow University, admitted: "It's hugely exciting."</div>

Some of the complications of uncontrolled sugar levels are damage throughout the body, which cab lead to organ failure, blindness and limb amputations.</div>

According to Dr Elizabeth Robertson, the director of research at Diabetes UK: "[The trial has] the potential to transform the lives of millions of people.</div>

<br>prediabetes and diabetes
<br>regardless of your age, gender or
<br>status. Prediabetes is a very
<br>dangerous condition because it
<br>can be in the body for a long
<br>time without manifestation.
<br>Though, few individuals may
<br>show symptoms of diabetes, for
<br>instance, weakness or increase
<br>pee, many people's with high
<br>glucose level will have no
<br>outward signs by any stretch of
<br>the imagination.
<br>This implies that everybody
<br>should be tested for prediabetes.
<br>Anybody that falls under the

<br>or diabetes. I have written in my previous article that one of the
<br>symptoms of persistent and uncontrolled high blood sugar is nerve
<br>damage, a condition known as neuropathy. Therefore, diabetes or high
<br>blood sugar can also damages the nerve that helps stomach to empty
<br>and transport food smoothly through the digestive tract.
<br>
<br>This inability of the stomach to empty food quickly enough as a result
<br>of persistent high blood sugar can lead to many diabetes
<br>complications. This inability of the stomach to process and empty food
<br>swiftly is a condition known as gastroparesis.
<br>
<br>3 SYMPTOMS OF GASTROPARESIS
<br>
<br>1. This could cause unpleasant abdominal
<br>problems like diarrhea,
<br>constipation, or incontinence.
<br>
<br>2. It may also lead to difficulty in eating or swallowing.
<br>
<br>3. Gastroparesis can make it uneasy to control your high blood sugar
<br>or diabetes.
<br>
<br>BOTTOM LINE
<br>
<br>One of the consequences of uncontrolled diabetes is poor digestive
<br>system as a result of nerve damage. Try to control your blood sugar as
<br>much as you can to prevent, control, manage and reverse gastroparesis.Akinola Olusegunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08056257519384883017noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536787439533504024.post-56701788826331382022015-12-21T10:36:00.001+01:002015-12-21T10:36:43.889+01:00Symptoms of High Blood Sugar : Numbness or TinglingIt is compulsory for every diabetes people to know the various
<br>symptoms of the aftereffects of high blood sugar. Knowing this will
<br>help patients to quickly respond to the complications of high blood
<br>sugar.
<br>
<br>One of the consequences of consistent, persistent and uncontrolled
<br>high blood sugar or diabetes is nerve damage (called peripheral
<br>NEUROPATHY). It is typically a sign
<br>of chronically elevated blood sugars.
<br>
<br>
<br>WAYS TO CONTROL NEUROPATHY
<br>Adhering strictly to diabetes medications and diets are some of the
<br>ways to prevent and control neuropathy.
<br>
<br>Exercise is another effective way to prevent or control neuropathy in
<br>relation to diabetes or high blood sugar. Exercise such as walking for
<br>like 30 minutes or engaging in other household activities that will
<br>make you active and sweat or make your heart beat faster everyday will
<br>help you to control your high blood sugar and nerve damage.
<br>
<br>Make sure you are taking care of your foot regularly if you are neuropathy.
<br>
<br>SYMPTOMS OF DIABETES NEUROPATHY
<br>
<br>1. Patients with diabetes neuropathy may not
<br>realize they have been injured
<br>from a cut
<br>
<br>2. Neuropathy diabetes may not realize that a wound is becoming infected.
<br>
<br>3. Neuropathy may make diabetes patients to be oversensitive to pain as they
<br>might experience severe and
<br>constant pain from otherwise
<br>painless stimulation.
<br>
<br>
<br>4. Nerve damage as a result of diabetes will results in numbness or
<br>tingling in your hands and feet, as well as the inability to feel pain
<br>or
<br>temperature changes.
<br>
<br>
<br>BOTTOM LINE
<br>
<br>Persistent and uncontrolled high blood sugar can cause diabetes

<br>sugar is low or high. In my two previous articles, i wrote about how
<br>to know that your blood sugar is high through excessive
<br>thirty/frequent urination and Feeling of fatique/tiredness. I advice
<br>you to read those two articles because knowledge is power.
<br>
<br>Today, am writing about one of the symptoms that your blood sugar is
<br>low. High blood sugar is the problem or cause of diabetes but
<br>sometimes due to many factors blood sugar could drop low in diabetes
<br>patients. It must be noted that low blood sugar is a serious and
<br>dangerous sickness on it own. Low blood sugar is a silent killer and
<br>kill fastly.
<br>
<br>One of the symptoms of low blood sugar is DIZZINESS. Feeling dizzy or
<br>shaky can be a sign of low blood sugar or hypoglycemia.
<br>
<br>Low blood sugar is very dangerous and kill fast because our
<br>brain needs glucose to function, therefore
<br>a drop in blood sugar means the brain will malfunction which could
<br>lead to many things such as dizziness, seizure and death. Therefore,
<br>diabetes people still need to watch blood sugar if it is low. It means
<br>keeping the blood sugar balance is the key not just keeping it from
<br>getting high.
<br>
<br>Therefore, if you are feeling dizzy or shaky especially after using
<br>diabetes medication or other actions, you could drink a glass of fruit
<br>juice as this will help to bring up your blood sugar in
<br>the short term. I know of some people that drink soft drink when their
<br>blood sugar is low. Some take sugar to bring the blood sugar up.
<br>
<br>However, if you're
<br>regularly feeling shaky or dizzy, please talk to
<br>your doctor. Your doctor may advice you to make changes in your
<br>medications or diet.
<br>
<br>BOTTOM LINE
<br>
<br>Blood sugar of diabetes patients can sometimes fall lower than normal.
<br>This condition is dangerous if not taken care of. DIZZINESS is a major
<br>sign of low blood sugar or glucose. Ability to read along this line
<br>can safe diabetics from sudden death.Akinola Olusegunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08056257519384883017noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536787439533504024.post-43911832559597044542015-12-18T19:54:00.001+01:002015-12-18T19:54:18.972+01:00Symptoms That Your Blood Sugar Is High : Fatigue or TirednessIf you are diabetic, it is very important to be able to read your
<br>blood sugar level without meter but through how you feel inside of
<br>you.
<br>
<br>Being able to read how you feel from time to time concerning diabetes
<br>will help you to balance your blood sugar if it rises.
<br>
<br>
<br>One of the symptoms that shows your blood sugar is high is feeling of
<br>fatigue or tiredness.
<br>
<br>Fatigue is one of the major signals that
<br>your blood sugar is high. The reason why you are feeling fatigue or
<br>tired when your sugar is high is that your sugar which is suppose to
<br>be diverted to your body's cells is instead staying in your
<br>bloodstream. Therefore, your muscles do not have
<br>enough fuel to use for energy.
<br>
<br>The fatigue may range from feeling only a little tired to needing a
<br>nap. When your blood sugar is high you will be feeling tired all the
<br>time or after just a little work or after eating a big
<br>meal.
<br>
<br>
<br>BOTTOM LINE
<br>
<br>Fatigue for diabetes people is a signal and symptom that their blood
<br>sugar is high. Being able to read along this line will help to quickly
<br>react to the problem.
<br>
<br>It is advisable for diabetes patients to educate the people around
<br>them about symptoms of high blood sugar level as they might be the one
<br>to remind them or pay their attention to those symptoms.Akinola Olusegunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08056257519384883017noreply@blogger.com0
