Take a look at one aspect of type 2 diabetes through the eyes of this video maker.

Recommendations You can stabilize blood sugar levels and optimize your long-term health by: 1) Reversing Damage – Years of high Glycemic food consumption and continual release of Insulin into the bloodstream have caused damage your body and some degree of Insulin Resistance to take hold. To help reverse this, AyurGold releases hundreds of phytonutrients that act at the molecular level to stimulate endocrine cells found in the pancreas, incite the Islets of Langerhans to generate key enzymes responsible for regulating blood sugar in the body, increase glucose utilization, improve glucose metabolism, inhibit glucose output from the liver, reverse abnormal lipid profiles seen in people with high blood sugar, and help increase blood circulation to restore natural balance and harmony to your body. 2) Regularly Drink Water – Drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of water per day to avoid dehydration and help liberate fat stores to be burned as energy. 3) Eat 5 to 6 Small Meals Daily – Spreading food intake improves nutrient absorption, minimizes blood sugar fluctuations, and decreases fat-storing hormones and enzymes. 4) Carbohydrates – Consume low to moderate GI (Glycemic Index) carbohydrates at all times. All low GI diets are based on the same principle of balancing blood sugar. The foods which are restricted on low GI diets are those which cause your blood sugar and insulin levels to rise fast and high such as desserts and refined sugars. This results in more food being converted …

Question by Menchi: Can you give blood if you have type 2 diabetes?
I recently found out I have type 2 diabetes, and I’m an avid blood donor. Can I continue to give blood, or should I refrain because of it? Please help!

The top answer:

Answer by Stavros
Having diabetes does not automatically exclude you from donating blood. The American Red Cross states that people with diabetes may donate blood if they meet the following guidelines:

They have not had an initial dosage of insulin or change of insulin dose in at least two weeks.
They have not received an injection of bovine (beef) insulin made from cattle from the United Kingdom since 1980. Oral medications for type 2 diabetes DONT disqualify you from blood donation eligibility. It is suggested that people with diabetes wait 8 WEEKS (or 56 DAYS ) between whole blood donations. Donors with well-established (not recently diagnosed) diabetes, who are controlled by diet, oral medications and/or insulin therapy, are eligible to donate
Controlling medications must have been used in the 24 hours before donation

thanks

My chosen answer:

Answer by oneforgochi
Your mum needs to go on a serious diet, if she has sugar diabetes, she cannot eat oily food or any such food related to junk foods or foods that have carbohydrates,
The liver digests carbohydrates by breaking them down into simple sugars, or glucose, which stimulates the production of insulin in the pancreas. The insulin functions to get the sugar into the body’s cells to be used as energy. The two different types of carbohydrates affect the production of insulin differently—when digesting simple carbohydrates, insulin levels spike faster, and the carbs are used up more quickly for energy. This explains why many who turn to a candy bar for a quick supply of energy find that their energy levels crash when the “sugar high” comes to an end. Complex carbohydrates take longer to digest, resulting in longer lasting energy, and less of an insulin reaction in the body.

Which are found in fruits and dairy products are more easily digested by the body. They are also often found in processed, refined foods such as white sugar, pastas, and white bread. which take longer for the body to digest, and are most commonly found in vegetables (cellulose), whole grain breads and pasta, brown rice, and legumes. Foods with unrefined grains, such as brown rice, retain complex carbs, unlike refined grains, such as white rice. This is because the refining process removes some of the grain’s fiber and nutrients. Eating a serving of whole grain cereal such as oatmeal will fill you up and give you longer lasting energy than a bowl of sugary cereal due to the way the body processes and uses the carbohydrates.

Benefits of Polysaccharides in Goji Berries

One of the best best things found in Goji Berries are the high level of polysaccharides. Studies have shown that polysaccharides are exceptional sources of the essential cell sugars necessary for proper immune function and intercellular communication. These polysaccharides can enhance health by maintaining normal cell growth and thus may help slow the aging process. This isn’t to say that you can eat a bunch of junk food and expect to beabsolved by topping it off with a handful of Goji Berries. It’s best to stick with a healthy diet and include foods such as Goji Berries for optimal health.
Here is a list of great benefits to help your Mum and her diet!

Question posed by Kimberly: Has anyone else had gestational diabetes and controlled it through diet?
I had it 6 years ago and was able to cut out bread, sugar/sweets, potatoes.
I have it again and need help with finding what I can eat. Any good websites or books that you know about? Experiences to share?

The best answer:

Answer by Rosie_0801
You shouldn’t be cutting out all carbs! A pregnant woman needs 4-6 serves per day. I found the only way I could keep it under control and still have adequate carbs was to have two slices of a multigrain Burgen brand bread with each meal. Everyone’s body is different though, so you may be able to eat other carbs, or you may have it worse this time and have to go on insulin. You ought to be referred to a diabetes educator and dietician for support. Ask your doctor/midwife about that.

A question from Ichythus: How long does diabetes take to develop?
I had a fasting glucose test in late 2006 which returned normal. I went back to the doctor this week and he recommended I retest every 1.5 years to monitor that until I bring certain risk factors under control. Is it possible to go from normal to full blown diabetes in a year?

Top answer:

Answer by Mr. Peachy®
Type two diabetes is generally pretty slow to progress. A lot depends on your diet and lifestyle. For me, it took years after the symptoms presented for my doctor to pronounce me, “diabetic”.

Yes, it’s possible, but not likely. If it’s a concern, just learn all you can about preventing it by visiting my diabetes info page:

http://www.geocities.com/seabulls69/Type_II_Diabetes.html

BTW, It also has taken years for me to reverse the process to where I no longer have to take medication.
