DIABETES

Almost 21 million men, women and children have been diagnosed with diabetes in the United States and the numbers are probably going to keep growing, making diabetes one of the biggest health problems facing the world today.  No one can say for sure what the exact cause of diabetes is, but there does seem to be a clear link between its onset and the rising rates of obesity in this nation do to unhealthy eating habits and lack of exercise.

Glucose

In order for things to keep running, your body needs fuel to burn. This fuel comes in the form of glucose: a form of sugar that feeds all our major muscles and organs. Despite its name, glucose is not solely derived from the sugary foods that we eat, it can also come from starches and carbohydrates, which our bodies break down chemically into glucose. The million-dollar question is, how does our body get the glucose to places it needs to be? That is where insulin comes in.

Insulin

Insulin is a hormone whose main task is to deliver glucose via bloodstream to the muscles, liver and fat cells (for storage). People who suffer from diabetes either do not produce enough insulin, or their bodies have trouble processing it in an effective manner. The glucose then ends up sticking around in the blood stream thus giving the person a high blood sugar content. 

There are three types of diabetes:

Type 1 Diabetes

Type 1 diabetes is the most dangerous type of diabetes and it usually begins  during  childhood. People who suffer from type 1 diabetes produce little or no insulin for themselves and are dependent upon daily injections in order to remain alive. This is also known as insulin dependent diabetes.

Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes and usually develops during adulthood. People who suffer from type 2 diabetes, are unable to effectively use the insulin that their body is producing. Obesity and lack of exercise are thought to be the main culprits in this form of the disease. Oral medication and a strict diet are the best way to control this type of diabetes.

Gestational Diabetes

Pregnant women sometimes suffer from gestational diabetes, with the symptoms going away after the child’s birth.

Risk Factors

Heredity is one of the things you need to look at when it comes to evaluating your risk for developing diabetes. If your parents or sibling suffer from it, chances are pretty good that you can get it to.  Your risk level also increases with age, especially after the age of 45 and if you happen to be obese and have poor eating habits. People of American Indian or African American descent are also more likely to suffer from diabetes.

Warning signs

If you fall into any of the above risk factor categories, it is important to be aware of the various warning signs that my signal that you have trouble processing insulin. If you have an increased appetite or thirst, suffer from frequent urination, heal slowly form cuts and infections, get infections easily, or have blurry vision, it is important to seek medical help.

Diagnoses and Treatment

If your doctor does determine that you have diabetes, oral medications and diet changes will be the most likely treatment, unless it is a severe case, then insulin injections may be prescribed. If you follow your doctor’s advice and stick to the prescribed regime, diabetes can be a manageable disease. It is important to educate yourself on all the treatment options and to learn to check your blood sugar levels often. It might be a good idea to find a good dietician to educate you on what healthy foods you should be eating and to try out programs that will keep you active and help you lose weight.  Getting diagnosed with diabetes does not mean the end of the world as you know it.

Foods For Diabetics

Everything we eat affects the level of our blood sugar and insulin.
That is why food is a main factor in the beginning, development and treatment of the disease.

Following a diet is one of the most important factors in treating diabetes. Even if you take medicine to keep your sugar at the right level, it is still very important to eat the right foods. Talk to your doctor about what diet is right for you because it should be based on the severity of your condition, your life style and your type of work.
Here are just general guide lines. You should get vitamins C, K and group B. Natural sources of vitamin C are wild roses, citruses, apples, parsley and vegetables.Sources of vitamin B1 are yeast, whole grains, poultry and many vegetables. You will get vitamin B2 with yeast, milk, eggs, fish and meat. There is vitamin A in cream butter, milk, meat and fish. Sources of carotene are vegetables and fruits.
These foods are recommended: pomegranate, lemon, onion, garlic, cinnamon (1/2 tea spoon of cinnamon a day will lower your blood sugar. You also can add pieces of cinnamon in your tea), fish, broccoli, kidney beans, lentil, barley, cabbage, turnip, coriander seeds, blueberries, pears, beans, viburnum, dogwood, pumpkin, beets, cabbage, oatmeal and horseradish.
These foods are NOT recommended: sugar, jam, syrups, beer and mayonnaise.

HEALTH TIP
Usually alcohol is not recommended for people who have diabetes. And it is hard to find an explanation why. There are two sources of getting sugar in your blood: carbohydrates of your food and glucose from your liver. If you are healthy, you constantly get glucose from your liver and your blood sugar does not drop lower than 3.3 mmol/L.
If you have diabetes and you are not getting glucose from your liver,  your blood sugar will be increased after you eat but the carbohydrates will be assimilated by your body because of the insulin effect and the level of your blood sugar will drop lower than 3.3 mmol/L. You will get a serious case of hypoglycemia.

Alcohol blocks entering glucose from your liver. That is why if you are going to drink alcohol, you should prevent getting hypoglycemia. NEVER take pills that lower your sugar before drinking. You must eat before drinking and alcohol will be absorbed slower. Do not drink champagne because the bubbles help fast alcohol absorption. You have to eat carbohydrates (cereal, bread, pasta, ziti or apples) right after your drink.  
Check your blood sugar in a few hours.
When your blood sugar suddenly drops a lot, you can feel sudden weakness, cold perspiration, numbness of your lips and tongue, intense hunger, trembling and a rapid heartbeat.
If you feel that your blood sugar is decreasing, get fast absorbing carbohydrates like a few pieces of sugar, very sweet tea, water or juice because usually you have only about 1 min to start helping yourself before it is too late. Do not eat candies, chocolate or cookies because glucose from this kind of food assimilates slowly. After, you should eat a few pieces of dark bread or a bowl of potatoes or cereal.
Tell your relatives and friends in advance what they have to do in a case of hypoglycemia. Your friends and relatives should not pour water or put any food in your mouth if you passed out. If you do not have glucagon for injection, they should rub some honey or fruit jam in your gums and call 911.
ALWAYS have a few pieces of sugar and  dark bread with you.
Also, it will be great if you prepare a card with information about how to help you if you suddenly get hypoglycemia and pass out. Carry this card everywhere with you.

BEAUTY TIP

People who have diabetes know that it takes a long time for even small scratches to heal. Sometimes it can be very painful.

Here is a great easy remedy. Prepare carrot oil. Put 1 glass of grated carrots in a small pot and cover the carrots with vegetable oil. Put the small pot in a big pot with boiling water (steam bath). Close the small pot with a cover. Keep it on a heat for about 15 min (until the oil in the small pot is ready to boil) and let it cool in room temperature. Then filter the oil. Your carrot oil is ready. Rub it in your sore spots and eat 1 tea spoon of the oil 4 times a day. Hold it in your mouth for 3 min before swallowing. Keep the carrot oil in your refrigerator. You will not believe how fast your sore spots will heal.
