| Dieters and Diabetics No Longer Need to Swim Against the Current | | 2008-07-27 00:00:00 | | Most of us have heard about the benefits of eating certain kinds of seaweed. But recently, scientists have discovered a type of carotenoid called Fucoxanthin that is being haled as the new miracle food.

| | A Diabetics Diet Is Healthy And Tasty | | 2008-07-18 08:57:00 | | Having diabetes means having to control your glucose levels. Failure to control your glucose levels increases your risk of heart disease, damage to your eyes, damage to your nervous system and organs. One way to control the glucose level is through medication, but the medication is often not enough and most doctors advise the patient complete a course in nutrition so the patient eats better and controls the glucose level better.At these nutrition seminars diabetics are taught to eat in moderation and to eat more frequently. For many diabetics these courses are very hisheartening, because almost everything a diabetic is accustomed to eating is taken off the list of foods that can be eaten. Interestingly diabetics find that everything they had been told were junk food are in fact junk food. The nutritional value of fast food, doughnuts, cakes, pies, ready to eat cereals, regular sodas, and fast food has so little nutrition that they are in fact junk food.

| 7 Herbs All Diabetics Should Know About | | 2008-07-14 21:33:12 | | Before we get to the 7 Herbs all diabetics should know about we must first briefly address insulin resistance.Insulin Resistance: The basis or forerunner of diabetes is insulin resistance.At least twenty-five to 30 percent of all Americans 60-75 million people are insulin resistant. At least 5-10 percent of whom will develop type 2 diabetes. However Insulin Resistance is associated with more than just diabetes. It is also regarded as a fundamental factor in other serious medical conditions such as…obesity, hypertension, abnormalities in cholesterol, and triglyceride levels, and increased risk of heart disease.Fact: 90 percent of all diabetics (those with type 2 diabetes) have a pancreas that produces plenty of insulin.Fact: Their cells resist the efforts of insulin and refuse to let the insulin in.Fact: Research suggests that the root cause of insulin resistance is found in an intercellular breakdown in signaling. Insulin is a chemical messenger. It sends signals to proteins called G | | By: Health Care Guide | | |
| | Diabetes Nutrition - Diabetics Should Take Nutrition Advice From Primitive Man | | 2008-07-05 21:54:00 | | Diabetics should eat the same diet as their primitive ancestors. This is the conclusion of a recent study into diabetes nutrition at Lund University in Sweden. Research by the university’s Department of Medicine has concluded that type 2 diabetics could benefit from basing their diet around fruit, vegetables, nuts, lean meat and fish; avoiding the western staples of dairy products and refined fats. This unique study into diabetes nutrition began with the observation that the populations of places like Papua New Guinea and the Trobriand Islands have a very low incidence of diabetes, as well as heart disease. This is thought to be because these communities have little access to modern western foods, and their diets are similar to that of primitive man. Comparison of western and primitive diabetic meals This observation was followed by a controlled study into diabetes nutrition, which compared two groups following a tailored diabetic meal plan. One group maintained a western diet, eati | | By: Nutrition Facts, Nutrition Guides | | |

| | Medical Insurance For Diabetics | | 2008-05-19 14:18:57 | | While health insurance is important for everyone, it is extremely important to have medical insurance for diabetics. With regular visits to the doctor, lab tests, blood testing strips and medications, diabetics have constant costs related to their disease. These measures are important to keep the disease under control. Besides keeping the disease under control, diabetics are at risk for complications arising. Unfortunately for diabetics and others with chronic conditions, in most states, insurance companies can screen applicants and turn down those with pre-existing conditions. This happens frequently with diabetics. An alternative way to get medical insurance for diabetics is to get on a group insurance plan through work if one is available. These group plans must accept people with pre-existing conditions. If there is no group plan available at work, all is not lost, however. Some professions can buy into group plans.

| | List Of Food For Diabetics To Eat | | 2008-05-19 14:09:02 | | A diet low in saturated fat with well controlled blood glucose levels that incorporates weight control, exercise and fewer refined sugars is recommended. Controlling blood glucose levels with diet, and in some cases medication, is the key. To keep blood sugar levels under control, a diabetic diet strikes a balance among the carbohydrates, fats, and protein you take in. In addition, a 1,500-calorie diabetic diet restricts calories and fat. These fruits helps to control blood sugar, levels. Due to their law glycaemic index, they promote a gradual increase in the blood sugar level which is highly beneficial to diabetics.The two most important pieces of information on food labels for a carbohydrate-controlled diet is the serving size and grams of total carbohydrate in each serving. Increasing the number of low glycemic index foods such as legumes, barley, pasta and whole grains (e.g., cracked wheat) in your meal plan may have real benefit in controlling blood glucose levels.

| | Weight Loss For Diabetics Using Proper Diet & Healthy Chocolate | | 2008-04-17 12:57:25 | | Do you love chocolate but struggle with weight and blood sugar problems? Approximately 18 million people in the United States have diabetes, and the majority struggle with their diet. Diabetes occurs when the insulin (produced by the pancreas) does not effectively transport glucose (sugar from of the food you eat). into your bodies cells. Your cells utilize glucose as an energy source necessary for living. When the glucose remains in the bloodstream, it causes your blood sugar levels to escalate. If left untreated, high blood glucose (sugar) levels can result in complications that affect your vision, heart, kidneys and circulation. Research has shown that proper diet, weight, and exercise are effective tools to delay or prevent the onset, or slow the the course of diabetes in many individuals.Does chocolate have a place on your plate when you have diabetes? The answer is a qualified yes: there is room for healthy chocolate as long as you keep your calories under control. In fact, eatin | | By: Diabetes Treatment | | |
| | What Doctors Don't Tell Diabetics About Fats And Carbs | | 2008-03-31 15:31:23 | | If you recently have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, chances are your nutritional advice has fallen into one of two mutually exclusive categories: 1. Eat fewer carbs. Your body turns almost all carbohydrates into glucose either quickly or slowly, so to get your blood sugar levels down, eat less carbohydrate. 2. Eat more carbs. You have diabetes because you are overfat, so replace the fat in your diet with carbohydrate.It's enough to make you wonder if doctors and nutritionists really know how to treat diabetes, but there is, despite what you may hear from true believers in one kind of diabetes diet or another, value in both approaches. The idea that diabetics should eat less carbohydrate makes inherent sense. Diabetes is a condition in which either the body is not making enough insulin or insulin does not work effectively. If you are not going to inject insulin or take drugs that sensitize cells to insulin or use medications that force the pancreas to produce more insulin, it ma | | By: Diabetes Treatment | | |

| | Blood Sugar Control Boosts Diabetics' Recovery After Surgery | | 2007-04-10 09:20:00 | | It lowers risks for serious infection, study finds, even though we already knew this was the case.Good blood sugar control before surgery reduces the risk of postoperative infections in people with diabetes, U.S. researchers report.The study included 490 diabetic patients, average age 71, who had major noncardiac surgery. Their hemoglobin (Hb A1c) levels were measured within 180 days before the surgery. Hb A1c reflects the patient's control of blood glucose levels during the previous two to three months. Good blood sugar control was defined as an Hb A1c level of less than 7 percent, the American Diabetes Association target.Of the patients in the study, 197 (40 percent) had good blood sugar control, report researchers at Yale University School of Medicine. Patients who did not have good blood sugar control had higher rates of postoperative infections, such as pneumonia, wound infection, urinary tract infection and sepsis (systemic blood infection).Postoperative infections were also more common among patients who were older, had higher scores on physical status tests, had wounds classified as "non-clean" or had operations that took longer.The Yale team suggested two reasons why good blood sugar control before surgery might reduce infection risk. One reason: patients with better blood sugar control before surgery are more likely to have lower blood sugar levels after surgery as well, which has been found to reduce the risk of infection."The other possibility for decreased postoperative infection with long-term glucose control is the overall improvement in general health and metabolic milieu of the well-controlled diabetic patient," the study authors wrote."If the association is confirmed in other studies, strategies to improve glycemic control prior to elective surgery can be employed to decrease infections and improve overall outcomes for diabetic surgical patients," they said. | | By: Dedicat To Diabetes Free | | |

| | Shoulder problems in Diabetics | | 2005-11-06 08:23:31 | | Dr.A.K.Venkatachalam,consultant orthopaedic surgeon,Chennai Tel 00 91 9282165002,www.shoulderindia.com.Diabetics have an additional burden of joint problem in addition to their systemic problems of nerves, eyes, blood vessels, kidneys etc. Diabetics are prone to develop a condition of the shoulders called primary frozen shoulder. It can affect both shoulders in a small percentage of people. It usually resolves over a period of time but can leave behind a lasting deficit of certain movements. Middle aged diabetics also develop tears of the rotator cuff and this can lead to a secondary frozen shoulder. Rotator cuff is group of tendons on top of the shoulder which help to stabilize the joint.They can develop calcium deposition in the rotator cuff tendons.They are prone to develop Gouty arthritis in their shoulders like in any other joints since Gout has an association with diabetes. Gout is a condition due to consumption of uric acid which is a by product of the digestion of red meat.In this article I shall discuss frozen shoulder.Definition-Frozen shoulder (Adhesive capsulitis, periathritis) is a condition characterized by a loss all movements at the true shoulder joint. There is pain initially. Pain settles down and there remains stiffness which sets in over a short period of time. Clever people may recall a traumatic incident. In others it may come on slowly. Stiffness may be permanent. The movement that is maximally affected is external rotation (rotating the arm outwards away from the body). This results in inability to reach behind the head with the hand to tie the hair. When both shoulders are affected elderly women are in an embarrassing situation. Overhead activities are also affected as the degree of elevation of the arm is reduced. AnatomyThe shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body. Its function is to position the arm in space to reach out to objects and deliver them to the mouth for eating and for other actions.
