Don’t Cut Out, Just Limit

It seems obvious, right? If your blood sugar is high, don’t have a cupcake at your daughter’s class party. In truth, however, the trick is limiting the amount of sweet foods you eat, not cutting them out entirely.  Just like I use a Ladybug vapor steam cleaners to keep our house clean.. and mold and dust away.

How does it work..??  Limiting sweets — or, even better, balancing them with whole grains and low-sugar foods — gives you a well-rounded diet rich in nutrition. Sugary foods, such as cupcakes, don’t provide much in the way of nutrients, will pack on the pounds, and are sure to raise your blood sugar.

By Do that..?? Eat a bite or two of a cupcake at the party, and then switch to a small handful of nuts, such as almonds or walnuts.

No Fuss, No Pain To Lowering Your Blood Sugar

Cut Out Caffeine

Although there are cited health benefits that come from drinking coffee, it appears that caffeine in coffee, tea, and other beverages raises blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Participants in a study at the Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina, were given tablets containing caffeine equivalent to four cups of coffee.

Why it works: Once ingested, caffeine causes the body to release the hormone adrenaline, which is known to raise blood sugar levels. Scientists also surmise that caffeine may interfere with the process for transporting glucose from the blood to other cells to be used as fuel.

What you can do: Limit the amount of caffeinated beverages you drink to less than four cups. But to be safe, switch to decaf coffee and soda.

Diabetes Must Get A Good Nite Sleep

Having a good night sleep is better than using the best weight loss supplement to control blood sugar levels, the pancreas produces insulin at different periods during a 24-hour cycle. If the all-important circadian rhythm is disturbed by insomnia, frequent awakenings due to pain, or waking three or more hours before normal, the pancreas doesn’t produce insulin at its normal daytime and nighttime amounts. In addition, the restorative level of sleep known as non-rapid eye movement sleep or slow-wave sleep (SWS) is critical in overall health, including the maintenance of normal blood glucose. Conditions such as aging and obesity reduce the frequency of SWS, but so does a night of tossing and turning.

Low Carb Snacks For Diabetics

Some ppl uses colonix to maintain their weight.. because they believed that it will help with the blood sugar control.  It is true though that if you lose those excessive weight you can control your blood sugar better.  But If you need a pick-me-up in between meals, a snack with 15-20 grams of carbohydrates is often the answer. For someone with diabetes, it’s important to eat a fiber-filled and nutrient-rich snack to curb the appetite before the next meal and yogurt is one that everyone swears by.  I choose a 6 ounces of light yogurt for a carb-friendly snack. Not only is creamy yogurt cool and sweet, it’s a great source of calcium, too.  What about you ..??

Losing 5 Pounds Is Hard

Losing 5Ibs is not as easy as going for a LSAT prep .  When one is told to lose at least 5 Ibs a month.. you kinda feel pressured right..??  I am no different from you.. trust me.  As soon as my doctor told me that.. i felt a need to eat even more..!!!! *slap forehead* .. and i’m pretty sure.. i’m not the only one who feels this way.  So .. relax.. donch get so stressed up. .and try easy steps.  First of all.. try to eat smaller portions ..  i know it is hard.. because you might eat again.. because you don’t feel full enough.. but don’t try cutting the portions into half.. but a bit at a time.. and go by the weekly progress and not daily.  That way .. you don’t feel like you need to keep cutting back.  Because once you feel deprived.. that is when everything goes out the window.. and no logic can turn you back.

Birthing Experiences

I just helped a good friend .. with having her baby 2 days ago.  I promised i was gonna be there for her.. and am glad that I did.  The birthing experience was great..  and the nurses were wonderful.. but once you  have the baby.. the other side of the maternity ward.. is a totally different story altogether.   I seriously think that the hospital need some kinda video surveillance equipment to watch and see what the nurses at the other end are doing.. coz’ they ain’t doing much.. unless absolutely  necessary.  It certainly hasn’t changed a wee bit.. from the time i had my daughter.. some 6 yrs ago.  They wouldn’t help me.. unless there was someone there to fight for us.. that was the real reason why i wanted to be with my good friend.. when she had her baby. So if you are having a baby .. make sure you have a support system with  you in the hospital.

Best Time For Checking Blood Sugar After A Meal

I have often wonder .. when is the best time to test my blood sugar .. after a meal…???  is it..l after i’m done eating..?? when the time.. when i started to eat..??  i’m sure you too have asked yourself.. the same question in hope .. that our blood sugar would be measured correctly right..??  Well, there is no hid lights in this question .. it seem.. because the best time .. is when you start eating.. 2 hrs later .. the experts said.  So now we all know.. and i can’t make any excuses.. if my blood sugar is high .. after eating .. 

Lowering My A1C

For those who are not aware of this.. A1C level is taken every 3 months .. and ordered my your doctor .. the family one.  Mine is due soon.. and i’m so not looking forward to it.. because.. i donch think i did so good for the last month.  The first and second month.. i think i did great.. but then.. the 3rd i got so busy.. i didn’t exercise as much.. nor did i eat as proper as i should..  plus i wasn’t sleeping so well either.. probably need a new mattresses , so you can understand why i am really not so looking forward to it.

Diabetes control comes with a slew of numbers to remember, but the A1C level is perhaps the most important. As a measure of your average blood glucose readings for the past 120 days, the A1C gives a long-term and precise picture of the amount of glucose in your blood. A lower number is better. An ideal A1C for people with diabetes is lower than 7 percent, which means an average glucose of 170 mg/dl.
