Diabetes Management
Diabetes is a disease that occurs when your blood glucose, also called blood sugar, is too high. Blood glucose is your main source of energy and comes from the food you eat. Insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas, helps glucose from food get into your cells to be used for energy.
Sometimes your body doesn’t make enough-or arty-insulin or doesn’t use insulin well. Glucose then stays in your blood and doesn’t reach your cells.
Over time, having too much glucose in your blood A (hyperglycemia) can cause many health problems. Over time, high blood glucose leads to health problems known as “CHAOS”
C-Cardiovascular (heart) disease and high lipids
H – Hypertension (high blood pressure)
A-A-Adult onset diabetes
O- Obesity
S – Stroke
What are the different types of diabetes?
The most common types of diabetes are type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes.
Type 1 Diabetes
If you have type 1 diabetes, your body does not make insulin. Your immune system attacks and destroys the cells in your pancreas that make Insulin. Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and young adults, although it can appear at any age. People with type 1 diabetes need to take insulin every day to stay alive.
Type 2 Diabetes
If you have type 2 diabetes, your body does not make or use insulin well. You can develop type 2 diabetes at any age, even during childhood. However, this type of diabetes occurs most often in middle-aged and older people. Type 2 is the most common type of diabetes.
Gestational diabetes
Gestational diabetes develops in some women when they are pregnant. Most of the time, this type of diabetes goes away after the baby is born. However, if you've had gestational diabetes, you have a greater chance of developing type 2 diabetes later in life. Sometimes diabetes diagnosed during pregnancy is actually type 2 diabetes.
Common symptoms of Diabetes
Getting diagnosed with diabetes can be upsetting and scary at the same time. However, the good news is that it is manageable with proper medication compliance, combined with proper dietary guidance and physical activity.
In many cases following a proper nutrition plan and exercise regime has helped to control blood glucose levels leading to gradually reduce medication and avoid further health risk associated with diabetes like hyper tension, obesity, high cholesterol, heart disease, renal complications etc.

Yes! This is all about working out the best plan just for YOU. Moderation is the key! It’s about learning the right way suitable for your body to eat your favorite foods. No one will ever know that you were on a ‘Diet
Being healthy is much more than just sugar vs. sugar substitute; it involves taking a close look at your total lifestyle. In general, your food intake should consist of unrefined, whole foods, with an emphasis on vegetables. An active lifestyle is most important. As for sweeteners, stevia, in my opinion, would be a better choice. It is plant derived, not chemically altered.
Having plenty of refined processed carbs may raise your blood sugar level, but you don’t have to exclude all carbs from your diabetes meal plan. Get most of the nutrients from choosing complex good carbohydrate sources like whole grain cereals, fresh vegetables, and fruits.
I’ve been juicing to help increase my intake of fruits and vegetables but I wonder if I am drinking too much sugar this way. A: You may be raising your levels with too much juice, especially if you are using lots of fruit. For example, a small glass of orange juice may take 2-4 oranges depending on their size. One fruit serving is one small to medium orange or 15 grams of simple sugar so a glass of fruit juice can easily contain over 60 grams of sugar. Even though fruit juice is high in vitamins, it is still sugar to the body and challenges insulin output. Perhaps you should get a meter and check your blood sugar levels for a time to see how your current juices are affecting your levels.
Craving sweets is often because we are not eating in a good balance, usually consuming too many carbohydrates. Carbs don’t stick around long after we eat them, so, if we do not eat a meal that has protein, some fat, and higher fiber carbs, our body will tell us it still needs fuel, and sweets are the quickest form of fuel we have, turning into sugar in our bloodstreams the fastest. And of course, staying active and exercising will help as well!
