Chun Ah Chun Diabetes Lifestyle

Declining insulin levels in type 1 diabetes stabilise after seven years, study shows Insulin production falls steadily for seven years in people with type 1 diabetes but then stabilises, researchers have said. A team from the University of Exeter Medical School said they believe insulin levels decline by about 50% every year for a total of seven years after diagnosis. But after that...

Well controlled blood sugar level is the leading cause of normal life!

Type 1 diabetes study has received ethical approval The study of diet for type 1 diabetes is expected to start this fall. Ethical approval has been granted and the project has been expanded: the diabetes clinic at Uppsala University Hospital will also participate in the project. This week US researchers reported that a strict low-carbohydrate...

Dr. Bernstein's law of small numbers put into perspective: "Since my son switched to low carb, he simply doesn't have dangerous lows anymore. If his dosing is off and he does drop, a simple glucose tab does the trick - there's no more need for 'life saving juice boxes'. Removing the fear from severe hypoglycemia has dramatically improved his life."

My collection on nutrition and low carbing....

A new study...

NEW RESEARCH. Hyperglycemia results in damage to the developing t1 child brain. "Prior studies suggest white matter growth is reduced and white matter microstructure is altered in the brains of young children with type 1 diabetes when compared with brains of non-diabetic children, due in part to adverse effects of hyperglycaemia....these differences in white matter microstructure are shown to persist over time in children with diabetes"

All the studies have shown that being diabetic increment up to three times the probability of cardiovascular complications and heart attack. It is predominant in diabetics with poor blood glucose control resulting in chronic elevated levels. Virtually all the diabetic complications are the consequence of elevated blood glucose levels and (or) insulin resistance with hyperinsulinemia. It is safe to say that also the cardiovascular complications are directly linked to either of these two. So the logical consequence is that in diabetes we have proof that the alterate metabolism of carbohydrates is guilty for cardiac complications - therefore how can the guidelines still blame elevated cholesterol and not the carbohydrates in people without diabetes for the same complications?? The mechanism is always the same and it is chronic inflammation that triggers the process.
With the same logic how the guidelines can still dictate to consume predominant quantity of carbohydrate per meal in both diabetics and non diabetics.

Aim small miss small. Every day is a joy when you take the blood sugar rollercoaster out of the picture!

Every morning the same story. My range is berween 95 and 109 every morning and during the day it does not go over 135. Very similat to the little variations a non diabetic person has.
LOW carb hard bone I saw the light FOR LIFE!

Don't shoot for high blood sugars. An A1c of 6% is very high. Shoot for normal, nondiabetic blood sugars. Read the book 'Diabetes Solution'.
