Do you know if it's fat or if it's sugar that I need to cut down on to avoid diabetes? |
Thanks. I'm confused about which actually does the damge. If it's fat are some types of fat harmless in this respect? Can I have a high sugar low fat diet or a low sugar high fat diet and be okay? It's being overweight and sedentary. So the answer to your question is both. It's too many calories (from fat, protein, carbs, or sugar) combined with poor physical conditioning that contribute to diabetes. Having a genetic predisposition doesn't help avoid it either. Read more here: For type I and type II diabetics (and those who are overweight and could potentially become diabetic). Copy and bookmark the webpages I鈥榲e listed below鈥?they are invaluable for those with diabetes and/or weight problems... I've found a wonderful book that will help you control your diabetes and minimize or even eliminate the complications. Some folks who became diabetic due to poor diet and obesity are effectively cured by following the advice in this book. I'm a type II (inherited), but it helps all types, especially those who became diabetic due to poor eating habits. It's by an author who has really done his homework, Patrick Quillin, Phd. It's called, "The Diabetes Improvement Program". I have tried his suggestions and found them to be very helpful. I have no complications whatsoever and my blood sugar levels are quite stable. Yes, I still have to take Metformin (Glucophage) daily, but it's the minimum dosage (500mg) and I only have to take it twice a day. I have been off Metformin for as much as a week, but this was with vigorous exercise. Many, what I call, non-hereditary type IIs (those that don't have a close relative who had it) have gotten off medication completely, just with diet, exercise, and supplements. So, in some instances, it most certainly can be 'effectively' cured. Read more about it here: http://www.diabetesimprovement.com/... The book explains what's going on in our system and what to do about it. It's really easy and inexpensive. It's basically diet, supplements, and exercise. For example, did you know that cinnamon helps blood sugar absorption? It also controls cholesterol and triglycerides. This is according to the USDA: http://www.ars.usda.gov/is/np/fnrb/fnrb0... For men: Are you suffering from erectile dysfunction? I was. Yes, WAS. Now that everything's under control, I'm able to have nearly normal sex again. I've also put together a little webpage highlighting some of the things I've learned here: http://www.geocities.com/seabulls69/type...

Some great health sites with all kinds of general health information: http://www.chetday.com http://www.drmcdougall.com I think both. A clinical dietitian in a hospital referral would be the best and most knowledgeable person for you to contact. good luck to you. The link below gives information regarding steps to take to prevent diabetes. Here's hoping you are successful...I have quite a family history of it, myself, so I think I'll be reading the article I linked below as well. Good luck! http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsou... Not only should you avoid sugar, but also any foods that your body turns into sugar, such as carbs. Even if you cut out all high sugar foods such as sweets, you need to stay away from high carbs and startches -- especially things like white bread, crackers, pasta, white rice. A good rule of thumb is if the food is white (made from processed wheat flour), do not eat it. Eat a high-fiber, low-fat, low-carb diet. You can find a lot of examples of this kind of diet (for diabetes) on the internet. both. just try to stick with the good fats in moderation |
