Can You Lower Your Blood Sugar Levels With a Low-GI Diet? – Type 2 Diabetes

Diabetes Mellitus - Cause

The news about how to cure diabetes will come as a shock to the medical Establishment. But the science is now in after years of denial. Medicine has supported low-fat eating for decades, but we realize now that it did not work:

* people just got fatter and fatter

* obesity and diabetes rates increased dramatically

* no one connected the dots to see that it’s actually carbohydrates that cause diabetes.

As I recall, my highest blood pressure reading was 180/130 or thereabouts. However, I have no recollection of what my blood sugar level reading was back then but I do remember going to a clinic one time to have it tested and the nurse told me it was high. How high I don’t really know. I didn’t care because I did not feel ill at all. Even when they told me I should check my blood pressure, I still continued with my unhealthy diet, sedentary life style and worse, smoking. I was kind of proud actually thinking that even as my blood sugar was high and my blood pressure too, I wasn’t feeling sick and I did not experience anything bad or life threatening. Little did I know that diabetes and heart disease were already lurking within my body, just waiting for the right time to manifest themselves.

Are you shocked? We’ve all been deluded because no one took the time to understand the basics. It was known by 1950 that the body aggressively converted carbohydrates to fat.

Since 2002, new, young researchers really looked into the low-carb diet. What did they find:

* fast reduction in body weight and body fat

* dramatic stabilization and lowering of blood sugar

* reduction in the dangerous fats

* low-carb simply whipped low-fat!.

The low-carb or carb-restricted diet will help diabetics dramatically improve their health. And it works fast because your metabolic systems begin to change in as little as six hours. Your body switches very quickly into a fat-burning mode and decreases its reliance on blood sugar as a source of fuel.

Metabolic Syndrome is a common health problem today. It’s characterized by several major abnormalities including:

* obesity

* diabetes

* cardiovascular disease

* high blood pressure.

I have an automatic blood pressure monitor at home that I can use. It was a gift from a cousin who lives in California. I also have a blood sugar monitor that I do not use because that thing where you have to put the blood on is quite expensive here in the Philippines and I rather spend my money on medicines. Instead, I usually go and have an Hba1c test every three months, which doctors say is more reliable in indicating whether I am controlling my diabetes or not.

Aim to make changes gradually but don’t fall into the trap and eat excessive amounts of low-GI foods.  Over consumption will lead to weight gain not weight loss, and will not help you conquer your type 2 diabetes and your blood sugar levels.
