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 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.

Although a high sugar diet can cause problems for these groups, most nutritionists now view refined

Delay The Prevention or Delay of Type 2 Diabetes -- 26 (Supplement 1) 62 -- Diabetes Care

There is now substantial evidence that type 2 diabetes can be prevented or delayed. Individuals at high risk of developing diabetes (those with pre-diabetes) can be identified easily. It is not yet known whether the successful interventions will cost-effectively reduce the morbidity and mortality
associated with diabetes. Diabetes prevention policies that focus on lifestyle modification, specifically modest weight loss and increased physical activity, are also very likely to have additional health benefits.

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. For more information on losing weight, see: The Surgeon General's Call To Action To Prevent and Decrease Overweight and Obesity, 2001 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services: http://www.surgeongeneral.gov/topics/obesity/  Losing Weight: More Than Counting Calories (FDA Consumer Magazine, January-February 2002) http://www.fda.gov/fdac/features/2002/102_fat.html NHLBI Aim for a Healthy Weight http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/public/heart/obesity/lose_wt  Overweight and Obesity CDC Division of Nutrition and Physical Activity http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/obesity/  Obesity MedlinePlus Health Information http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/obesity.html 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.

Dietary Guidelines For Diabetics

There are general dietary guidelines that diabetes sufferers can follow to help keep their blood sugar levels  under control:

Early Blood Glucose Control Protects Years Later Diabetes Self-Management

Tightly controlling your blood glucose levels soon after being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes can lead to lower risks of diabetes complications—
including heart disease and death—years later.

Education- NDEP Control diabetes by controlling glucose, blood pressure, and cholesterol

http://www.ndep.nih.gov/publications/#PubsPatCont 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.

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.

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 72-126 mg/dl (4 - 7 mmol/l) (when you wake up)
• test your blood glucose levels before meals between 72-126 mg/dl (4 - 7 mmol/l)
• 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 180 mg/dl (10 mmol/l)
• To achieve very good control (HbA1c 6.5-7.0%) you need a fasting pre-breakfast glucose
  less than 99 mg/dl (5.5 mmol/l), pre-meal levels at other times less than 108 mg/dl (6.0 mmol/l)
  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)

Diabetes is a condition where people don't produce enough insulin to meet their body's needs or their cells don't respond properly to insulin.

Type 2 diabetes is mainly caused by insulin resistance.

Symptoms

Treatment

Frequent measurement of blood glucose levels is the best way to know whether blood glucose levels are in the target range.
This is easily done at home with a blood glucose monitor.

It's proven: Diabetes can be reversed. According to a groundbreaking new study completed by researchers at UCLA and other California universities, changes in diet and moderate exercise actually reverse diabetes effects in at least 50% of patients  in only three weeks! In only three weeks time, the amount of cholesterol and free radicals in the test subjects' blood was lower and their nitric oxide levels were higher, which are all factors in stopping diabetes before it takes its toll on limbs and life.

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.

Reducing

The Truth About Diabetes AltMedAngel.com

The whole idea in treating diabetes is to bring blood sugar levels back to normal quickly. This must be done immediately after eating and then gradually continue for several hours, as food is being digested. In non-diabetic individuals, this process occurs very smoothly because the body constantly adjusts its secretion of insulin depending on the levels of blood sugar.

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.

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). Saturated Fat Hydrogenated Fat Unsaturated Fats (Polyunsaturated and Monounsaturated) Trans-Fatty Acids and Hydrogenated Fats                 How are trans-fatty acids harmful?                 Is butter better than margarine?                 Regulating your intake of trans-fatty acids

of their initial cholesterol concentrations."

"You can ‘convert’ a person with metabolic syndrome to what is essentially a nondiabetic state with diet modification and exercise,"
Dr. Keilson says. "In true diabetes, though, the risk of heart disease is profound, and many physicians will go directly to
pharmaceutical therapy to give their patients maximum protection."

How Triglycerides affect blood flow by Alternative Medicine Angel

As blood sugar levels rise unabated, the body converts these sugars into fatty compounds called triglycerides. Triglycerides slow
 the blood flow in the smaller arteries and arterioles by making the blood thicker and stickier. As the oxygen-carrying blood
fails to reach various parts of the body in time, the damage begins to mount. The areas supplied by the smallest blood vessels
 begin to suffer first. The vision deteriorates. Strokes occur. Kidneys begin to fail. Cardiovascular disease becomes evident.
Numbness, tingling and pain begins to occur in the lower extremities followed by the necessary amputation of the toes,
feet or lower limbs.  Read More....

Flax Seed
If you want to enjoy the benefits of flaxseed oil (linseed oil) , it is important to ground the seeds before you eat them or
 use pure flax seed oil from a bottle.
The flax seed is too hard for the stomach to digest and if you eat whole flax seeds they will just pass through you
without releasing any nutrients. (They will however work wonders if you ever become constipated!)

Thomas Smith in the 'Fats and Oils'  section of his website   Healing Matters - www.healingmatters.com says
Flaxseed is a healthy choice.     
Both Flax seed oil or ground Flax seed are healthy choices.
