Reverse High Blood Sugar Levels - Type-2 Diabetes Is Worst For These People
Type-2 diabetes
is bad for everyone who suffers it.
But
according to a study that has just appeared in the Annals of Internal Medicine,
there is a particular group of people that are especially hard hit.
In
fact, if you belong to this group of people, you’re 80 percent more likely to
be hospitalized than other diabetics.
The
authors were interested in the general health burden of people with young-onset
diabetes
(YOD), diabetes
that is diagnosed before age 40.
They
expected to find hospitalizations for cardiovascular disease and infections,
which would be similar to the outcomes for people whose diabetes kick in only
later in life.
They
obtained the medical records of almost 445,000 type-2 diabetes patients in Hong
Kong who were observed between 2000 and 2014.
They
found that, by specific ages, people with YOD experienced more days of
hospitalization than people with usual-onset diabetes (UOD) did, showing that
it posed a larger health risk.
Compared
with those that had UOD, those with YOD were 80 percent more likely to be
hospitalized with any cause, 6.7 times more like to have renal problems, 3.7
times more likely to have diabetes itself, 2.1 times more likely to have
cardiovascular problems, and 70 percent more likely to have infections.
Reverse High Blood Sugar Levels - Diabetes
Caused By This Oil
(worse than Fructose)
Fructose
in both its natural form (fruit) and its excessively concentrated form (high
fructose corn syrup) have recently received the reputation of being fattening.
In
fact, high fructose corn syrup is often blamed for much of the world’s diabetes
epidemic.
However,
during a study in which they were trying to prove this, researchers reached a
surprising conclusion.
They
found a food type that posed an even larger diabetes risk.
In
fact, the surprising culprit is often found in numerous kitchens belonging to
health-conscious people’s and is sold as a healthy food option by many
restaurants.
Of
fructose, soybean oil, and coconut oil, most people believe that fructose is
the most fattening, followed by coconut oil, followed by soybean oil.
A
logical assumption, since fructose is sugar, coconut oil is a saturated fat
(the vegan equivalent of a cup of cream), and soybean oil is a healthy
polyunsaturated fat.
If
asked this question, a large section of the academic community would have answered
that both the oils were more fattening than the fructose, as it has long been
understood that fat contains almost twice as many calories per gram, when
compared to carbohydrates.
Thus,
from most to least fattening, they would have predicted coconut oil, then
soybean oil, then fructose.
But
what no one could have predicted the discovery a new study just made.
Academics
at the University of California Riverside wanted to prove that coconut oil
caused more weight gain than soybean oil. They fed some mice a diet that
contained 40% fat, which is approximately the amount of fat the average
American diet contains.
The
first group of mice received their 40% of fat in the form of soybean oil, and
the second received theirs via coconut oil.
Since
the researchers also wanted to compare the weight gain of the high soybean oil
and high coconut oil eaters against the weight gain of high fructose eaters,
they stuffed some of the mice with an equivalent amount of fructose that would
be consumed by the average American.
This is what they found:
•
The soybean oil eaters gained the most weight. They gained approximately 25%
more weight than the coconut oil-eating mice and 9% more than the
fructose-eating mice.
•
The fructose eaters gained the second highest amount of weight. They gained 12%
more than the coconut oil-eating mice.
•
The coconut oil-eating mice put on the least weight.
However, these weren’t the worst findings. Here are more findings:
•
Compared to the coconut oil eaters, soybean oil eaters suffered higher levels
of insulin resistance and had a fatty liver with signs of liver injury. These
are all characteristics of type 2 diabetes.
•
Compared to the oil eaters, the fructose eaters suffered higher levels of
kidney damage and had prolapsed rectums, a symptom of inflammatory bowel
disease.
In
other words, if you want to avoid inflammatory bowel disease, cut all fructose
that is not from a fruit out of your diet, and if you want diabetes to pass you
by, exclude soybean oil.
Unfortunately,
this is not as easy as it sounds.
When
researchers in the 1960s concluded that animal fats were unhealthy, food
manufacturers switched to vegetable oils when making everything from margarine,
to potato chips, and salad dressings.
Unsurprisingly,
they picked one of the cheapest vegetable oils available for this purpose,
which happened to be soybean oil.
As
a result, almost all pre-made and packaged foods contain soybean oil, a factor
that obviously explains why type 2 diabetes is such a massive and increasingly
widespread problem today.
In
fact, our food selection is further complicated by the fact that scientists are
still unsure as to which oil they should recommend.
The
authors of the above study specifically warned that they were not recommending
saturated fat (like coconut oil) above polyunsaturated fat (like soybean oil),
as they had not studied the cardiovascular effects of either.
So,
for now, the best approach would be to reduce your intake of soybean oil, since
you know it is a diabetes risk. I personally would also recommend replacing it
with olive oil and coconut oil.
Reverse High Blood Sugar Levels - How
The Rich Avoid Diabetes (and how to do the same cheaply)
A
new study published in the Journal PLOS ONE revealed that poorer Canadians were more
likely to develop diabetes than their wealthier counterparts were.
This
leads to the question of what does wealth has to do with type 2 diabetes, and
how can you avoid or reverse your diabetes even if you’re not swimming in cash?
They
examined the responses of 4,739 Ontarians given to the Canadian Community
Health Survey that was administered in 2004.
Among
the questions in the survey, participants were asked whether they felt uneasy
about buying food, whether they had to miss meals sometimes due to their
inability to afford food, and whether they struggled to buy nutritious food,
like fruits and vegetables.
From
this information, the scientists divided them into those who were food secure
and those who were food insecure.
It
was found that those who were food insecure were more than twice as likely as
their food secure peers to develop diabetes, and the subsequent 12-year
follow-up period.
Even
if you do not suffer from food insecurity, you can learn how to tackle type 2
diabetes by using the results from this study.
This
was because food insecure families tend to buy cheap, high-calorie foods that
contain a lot of carbohydrates rather than proteins, vitamins, and minerals.
Carbohydrates may temporarily fill you up, but they also spike your blood sugar
and leave you hungry an hour or two later.
However,
it is not simply food insecure people who eat like that. We’re all guilty of
this from time to time and this is exactly why type 2 diabetes is on the rise.
And
this study proves beyond a doubt that type 2 diabetes is caused by lifestyle
choices and can therefore be reversed through the use of the right lifestyle
choices.

This
post is from the 3 Steps Diabetes Strategy Program. It was created by Jodi
Knapp from Blue Heron health news that has
been recognized as one of the top quality national health information
websites.
In this program, Jodi
Knapp shares practical tips and advice on how you can prevent and cure diabetes
naturally. She also dispels myths commonly associated with diabetes, like for
example, diabetes being a lifelong condition. There are also lots of
information going around that is simply not true and she’s here to correct it.
Diabetes is a
disease, and it can be cured. This is just one of the important tips Jodi
reveals in her program. Also she included several ways in preventing the onset
of disease, choosing the right food to eat, recommended vitamin supplements,
the right time of the day to take the blood sugar and many more.
But the most amazing
thing would have to be her program which only takes 3 simple steps to help you
to control & treat type 2 diabetes. What it does is cure diabetes without
having to rely on expensive drugs, diets that make sufferers crave for even
more food they are not supposed to eat, and exercise programs that make people
feel tired and depressed.
