From The Times London, UK 17 July, 2012 Is a high-carb diet ‘poison’ to diabetics? John Naish The NHS teaches that carbs are a key part of a balanced diet. But shunning them might help patients reduce insulin injections When Martin Milton, 46, moved from London to New York last year, he saw an American doctor to get a fresh supply of insulin for his diabetes. “The doctor asked about my diet. When I told him, his initial reaction was that I was joking,” says the father of two.

The surprising fact is that Milton’s food regime had been taught to him on an NHS course. For healthy people with everyday food habits, the difference might sound like diet-faddism. Finding the right diet may help to contain Britain’s fast-growing diabetes epidemic. However, he never managed to control his blood-sugar levels consistently. “I was told that I could eat what I wanted, so long as I counted the carbs on my plate. “I was told that 60 per cent of my diet should be comprised of carbs. Why only a year? Diabetes Warrior. Ketosis-Prone (KPD) Diabetes. Think skinny people don’t get type 2 diabetes? Think again. In the last article we discussed the complex relationship between body weight and type 2 diabetes (T2DM). We learned that although obesity is strongly associated with T2DM, a subset of “metabolically healthy obese” (MHO) people have normal blood sugar and insulin sensitivity and don’t ever develop diabetes.

In this article we’re going to talk about the mirror reflection of the MHO: the “metabolically unhealthy nonobese” (MUN). These are lean people with either full-fledged type 2 diabetes or some metabolic dysfunction, such as insulin resistance. You might even be surprised to learn that skinny people can and do get T2DM. They are rarely mentioned in the media, and there isn’t much written about them in the scientific literature. Remember that one in three type 2 diabetics are undiagnosed.

It’s well-known that high blood sugar can precede the development of T2DM for as long as ten years. It’s also important to understand that diabetes is not a disease. Let’s discuss each of them in turn. Carbohydrate Counting 101 | Joslin Diabetes Center. There are several different ways people with diabetes can manage their food intake to keep their blood glucose (sugar) within their target range and one such method is 'carbohydrate counting'.

Carbohydrate, or carb counting is a method of calculating grams of carbohydrate consumed at meals and snacks. Foods that contain carb have the greatest effect on blood glucose compared to foods that contain protein or fat. Before starting any new treatment or meal plan, you should always consult with your diabetes care professional. What are the benefits of counting carbs? · Counting carbohydrates is a good solution for many people with diabetes. . · Another benefit of counting carbohydrates is that it can bring tighter control over your glucose readings. . · Lastly, if you take mealtime insulin, counting carbohydrates allows you to decide how much carb you want to eat at a meal, rather than having to eat a certain amount of carbohydrates, even if you do not want to. Who can use carbohydrate counting? Glu : Our Journey with the Low Carb Diet and the (Manual) Artificial Pancreas. My son, David, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in March 2013.

In full-blown DKA, we spent several days in the hospital recovering and learning as much as we could about diabetes—something about which my wife and I knew absolutely nothing. After this very brief introduction, our pediatric endocrinologist told us that while for most patients he recommended a blood sugar between 100 and 180, he thought we might be able to achieve a target of between 100 and 150…hope! We returned home with our emaciated (he had lost 12 of his 65 pounds to DKA) son, prescriptions for insulin, a glucose meter, and a standard American Diabetes Association carbohydrate counting meal plan. I took time off from work those first few weeks and tried to get a handle on this new diagnosis and care for my son.

A typical day: we would test, bolus, eat the recommended meal from the meal plan, retest an hour later, and so on. Here is what we saw on the meter: Thirty days following Dave’s diagnosis, we purchased Dr. 1. Lemon Chicken Stir Fry. Go deliciously Asian tonight with this sensational stir-fry!

Chicken Saute With Creamy Mushroom & Leek Sauce. Here is one simple technique that guarantees juicy results every time. First, pound the chicken: making it thinner ensures quick and even cooking. Next, dredge the chicken lightly in seasoned flour, which helps it turn deep golden brown when sauteed. After the chicken is cooked, deglaze the skillet with broth, wine or a little water to make a pan sauce. The liquid loosens the flavor-boosting browned bits from the bottom of the pan, making a tastier sauce. photographer: Ken Burris Servings Per serving Calories Carbohydrates 11g Fat 9g Saturated Fat 3g Monounsaturated Fat 4g Protein 26g Cholesterol 70mg Dietary Fiber 1g Potassium 576mg Sodium 417mg Added Sugars 0g Exchanges 1 1/2 vegetable 3 lean meat 1 fat Carbohydrate Servings Nutrition bonus Potassium (16% daily value) In partnership with EATINGWELL® is a registered trademark of EatingWell, Inc.
