Are diabetics being given diet advice that just makes their problems WORSE?

The most effective way for people to carry type 2 diabetes in restraint is for them to reduce by changing their diet and becoming more active.

There is evidence that, faraway from helping, the recommendation most often offered about diet may very well be making it harder for type 2 diabetics to stay their condition in restraint.

Yet how does one get that blood glucose control and why are numerous people getting it wrong?

Medication can help, but increasingly research indicates that the foremost effective way for people to carry this disorder in restraint is for them to reduce by changing their diet and becoming more active.

Type 2 diabetes normally occurs when fat clogs the liver, which regulates the availability of glucose to feed the body, and therefore the pancreas, the small gland behind the stomach that produces the hormone insulin that takes glucose out of the blood stream and into cells.

‘We know that type 2 diabetes develops when blood sugar rises above a particular level – and whether it’s sugar, rice, bread or potatoes, these carbohydrates rapidly become glucose in your bloodstream then should be avoided. Type 2 diabetics can still eat carbo- hydrates or sugary foods. You’ve got to chop sugar out of your diet completely. We all enjoy eating sugary foods occasionally, and there’s no problem including them as a treat during a healthy balanced diet’.

Sugar, rice, bread, potatoes… these carbohydrates rapidly become glucose in your bloodstream then should be avoided.

The best long-term intervention for type 2 diabetes is to limit carbohydrates by curtailing on sugar and starch and replacing it with non-starchy (green) veg, with some fatty foods like cheese and full-fat, unsweetened yogurt along side calorie-dense protein.

Another alternative may be a very low calorie diet (VLCD). This was tested during a ground-breaking study administered by scientists at Newcastle University and published in 2011 within the journal, Diebetologia. All 11 patients within the study reversed type 2 diabetes after an eight-week diet of 600-calorie-per-day liquid sachets of soups and shakes containing essential vitamins and minerals.

Could standing up do more good than hitting the gym?

Dietary change is vital to controlling or reversing type 2 diabetes – but it won’t work for anyone who continues with a idler lifestyle.

And that includes people that exercise vigorously before flopping ahead of the pc or TV.

Sitting still for quite eight hours during a day raises the danger of type 2 diabetes by 90 percent. And while there’s some benefit in vigorous exercise, it’s not enough to wipe out the risks of sitting down for hours on end.

‘We got to do something when we’re not exercising. We’d like to seek out excuses to face up and move around,’
