1.Diabetes begins years or
even decades before the
diagnosis of diabetes, with
insulin resistance.
Understand the signs to
watch for so you can
intervene early:
2. Get Regular Screening
If you are at risk for
diabetes or insulin
resistance, be sure to get
an annual fasting blood
glucose test. If you see it
rising over time, even if
still in the normal range,
this is a sign that your
body is having more
trouble processing sugar
(all carbohydrate breaks
down into sugar).
3. Exercise
You don't have to live your
life at the gym to reap the
benefits of exercise. A
brisk half hour walk 5 days
per week can be enough to
help improve insulin
sensitivity (the opposite of
insulin resistance) and
prevent diabetes. Also, just
being generally more
active can help a lot. To
motivate yourself, get a
pedometer to count your
steps, and gradually
increase the number of
steps you are taking.
4. Weight Control, With
Reasonable Goals
A relatively small weight
loss of 7% of body weight
has been shown to help
prevent diabetes. Strive to
stay at your own lowest
sustainable weight, even if
that is above what the
charts say you should be.
It is better to aim for a
smaller weight loss and be
able to keep that weight
off than aim for an
unrealistically low number,
which could cause a
"rebound" effect.
5. Carbohydrate
Reduction
Although the American
Diabetes Association
continues to encourage a
high carbohydrate, low fat
diet, this is apparently
because they don't think
people can stick to a lower
carbohydrate diet . But
think about it: if your body
isn't processing sugar well,
doesn't it make sense to
stop feeding it so much
food that turns into sugar?
You can eat a healthy,
balanced, diet that is lower
in carbohydrates. The
amount of reduction that
is optimal for you will
depend partly one how
impaired your own glucose
tolerance is.
6. Consider Home Blood
Glucose Testing
If you have found that
your fasting blood glucose
is rising over time, even if
it is normal, and certainly
if you "officially" have
impaired glucose
intolerance (prediabetes),
strongly consider getting a
home glucose meter and
testing your own blood to
see if you can determine
ways of eating, exercise,
supplements, etc, that help
lower and stabilize your
blood glucose. The only
problem is that many
insurance companies will
not pay for this
preventative step, and the
test strips are admittedly
expensive. Still, you might
be able to afford to
monitor yourself at least
occasionally, or find a
diabetic friend who
sometimes has extra strips.
Tracking your blood
glucose response to meals
and over time can be a big
help in preventing the
progression of diabetes.
Why I test my blood
sugar , even though I'm
not diabetic.
Plz note.this
Lady Finger for Diabetes
Please note that another
name for
Lady Finger is "OKRA ".
Take two pieces of Lady
Finger and remove/cut
both ends of each Piece.
Also put a small cut in the
middle and put these two
pieces in glass of water.
Cover the glass and keep it
at room temperature
during night.
Early morning, before
breakfast simply remove
two pieces of lady Finger
from the glass and drink
that water.
Keep doing it on daily
basis. Within two weeks,
you will see remarkable
results in reduction of your
SUGAR. My sister has got
rid of her diabetes. She
was on Insulin for a few
years, but after taking the
lady fingers every morning
for a few months, she has
stopped Insulin but
continues to take the lady
fingers every day. But she
chops the lady fingers into
fine pieces in the night,
adds the water and drinks
it all up the next morning.
Please. try it as it will not
do you any harm even if it
does not do much good to
you, but U have to keep
taking it for a few months
before U see results, as
most cases might be
chronic.
