Diets that Reduce Blood Sugar

Maybe the dietary factor that needs to be controlled by diabetes is fat. When fat enters the bloodstream after eating fat, it interrupts insulin action, preventing it from lowering blood sugar. So, blood sugar starts to rise - and then the problem begins. On the other hand carbohydrates, especially complex ones, help normal insulin function.

J. Shirley Sweeney proved it back in 1927. Dr. Sweeney gave healthy volunteers a high-fat diet for two days, then tested their blood sugar response. In all cases, blood sugar levels increased significantly. When Dr Sweeney put the same volunteers on a high carb diet, his blood sugar level dropped (Archives of Internal Medicine). Since then, other studies have confirmed the same effects as high carbohydrate protein, low fat nutrition for both the prevention and treatment of diabetes.

Other researchers have found that some diabetics - even Type 1 diabetics, can drastically reduce their need for insulin when they eat foods that are primarily made up of raw foods. Diabetics (who use 50 to 80 percent of raw foods) eat foods such as vegetables, seeds, nuts, watermelons and fruit juices, honey, oils and other goats. Researchers theorized that diet works because of an off-the-shelf enzyme found in raw items & # 39; or because it's okay. fast transit that exists in the raw diet's diet. (Annals of Internal Medicine).

I'm sorry. Transit time & # 39; is the time it takes to get through the digestive tract. Eating most raw foods - rich in fiber - takes 18 to 24 hours; Most diets with low fiber diet require 80 to 100 hours.

An Indonesian doctor got it, to be specific when it came to her. set ' Diet for diabetics: Eating large amounts of green beans and raw onions can reduce your blood sugar, says Dr. Askandar Tjokroprawiro. In a separate study 20 outpatients of diabetic patients ate equivalent to 11/2 Ib of green beans daily for a week, while another 20 ate equivalent to 21/2 oz raw, chopped onions for the same time. At the end of the seven days, the subject's blood sugar levels compared to what they had before the diet, and doctors found ' statistically significant ' reduction. Eating vegetables has therapeutic value for patients with diabetes mellitus (medical name for the condition), Dr Tjokroprawiro concluded in a presentation to the 15th International Congress of Internal Medicine.
If your mom tells you to eat slowly and chew every bite, she may know what she's talking about. In a study of 22 patients with mild type 2 diabetes, scientists evaluated each patient on how fast they ate: less than 6 minutes was considered in a hurry; 6.1 minutes to 9 minutes is average; and 9.1 minutes or more is slow.

The results show that the dietary blood sugar levels are rapidly changing compared to the medium and slowly: the diet. In addition, those who are in a rush have greater changes in their weight during treatment. Said the scientist: ' Adequate instructions on eating behavior should be included in the management of diabetic & # 39;
