Prevention - Type 2 Diabetes? Don’t Be Scammed with These Kidney Supplements
Did
you know that around 40 percent of people with diabetes go on to develop chronic kidney
disease?
No?
Well, it’s one of the most common and most serious consequences of type 2 diabetes.
Obviously,
this is a nasty cycle that needs breaking to avoid any serious fatal secondary
diseases related to diabetes.
Previously,
it was thought there were a number of supplements that could help prevent
kidney disease in diabetes sufferers, but a new study
published in the Journal JAMA has just debunked this.
Kidney
disease is serious. It means that your kidneys can no longer properly remove
waste and fluid from your body. The consequent buildup of waste is toxic.
Many
previous studies have shown that vitamin D and fish oil supplements have anti-inflammatories, antioxidants, and
other properties that may prevent the occurrence of kidney disease in diabetes sufferers, and researchers were
keen to find out whether this was true or not.
They
recruited 1,312 patients with type 2 diabetes who had no obvious cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, or cancer. The researchers followed them for
five years, testing their blood and urine before the study to establish their
glomerular filtration rate.
The
participants were divided into four groups: one received real vitamin D and
fish oil supplements, one received fake vitamin D and fish oil supplements, one
received a real vitamin D but a fake fish oil supplement, and one that received
a real fish oil but a fake vitamin D supplement.
They
found an average decline in kidney function of around 12-15 percent over the
five years, and this did not differ between the four groups.
Therefore,
these two supplements cannot help to preserve kidney function in people with type 2 diabetes.
That’s
not to say that Vitamin-D and Omega-3 is not helpful for other complications of
type 2 diabetes. They’re just no good for
kidney disease.

Diabetes Prevention - This Candy Halts Type 2 Diabetes
Too
often when talking about healthy living, we have to give up on the food and
things we love the most.
So,
I love it when new studies come out proving the most delicious things healthy.
A
new study, published in the Journal
of Nutritional Biochemistry, reveals a specific, delicious
candy that can significantly fight type 2 diabetes.
…even
if your diet is not so healthy!
They
discovered that a compound that naturally occurs in cocoa can fight off type 2 diabetes.
The
researchers extracted data cells from rats and injected them with various
flavanol compounds derived from cocoa.
While
the cells injected with a complete cocoa extract and with oligomeric or
polymeric procyanidin-rich extract showed no improvement in function, those
treated with a monomeric catechin-rich extract immediately started producing
more insulin.
To
add to their findings, they fed this monomeric catechin compound to rats on a high-fat
diet and compared them with rats not given this substance.
The
treated rats had lower blood sugar levels and were less
obese than the untreated ones… despite the bad diet.
There
are a few problems with simply eating cocoa, however.,
When
they used a complete cocoa extract, it failed to work, which probably means
that the amount required to stimulate your beta cells is higher than you can
obtain when eating cocoa or cocoa chocolate. It was only one part of cocoa,
monomeric catechin, that improved diabetes.
Cocoa
is bitter and normally becomes appetizing only once you mix it with a lot of
sugar. Sugar is the substance that increases blood sugar and compromises insulin
secretion the most, which is then completely self-defeating for a diabetic to consume.
So,
if you’re going to consume cocoa, try to get very dark (preferable over 90%)
chocolate.
Then
combine that chocolate with other foods high in monomeric catechin. Such as
green tea, apples, pears, red wine, guavas, blackberries, raspberries, and
cherries.

Diabetes Prevention - Curing Type 2 Diabetes – Without Diet or Exercises
Danish
researchers recently revealed, in the Journal
of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, a common syndrome that
increases your risk of type 2 diabetes by a scary 400%.
What’s
more, it has nothing to do with bad diet or lack of exercise…
…meaning
that you may be able to cure your type 2 diabetes without changing
your menu.
Women
with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are more
likely than the general population to be overweight and struggle with insulin
resistance.
Consequently,
Danish researchers decided to find out whether women with this condition are
more likely than others to develop type 2 diabetes.
PCOS happens when a woman develops small cysts on her ovaries that cause them to
produce too much androgens (male sex hormones).
This
interferes with her ability to ovulate, and causes the growth of body and
facial hair, acne, obesity, infertility, and irregular menstrual periods.
The
researchers picked 18,477 women with PCOS and 54,680 without PCOS from the National Patient Register.
They
were checked for levels of insulin, glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, and
testosterone at Odense University Hospital.
Eight
out of every 1000 women with PCOS developed type 2 diabetes in the subsequent 11 years,
while only two out of every 1000 of the women without this condition did so.
This
means that those with the condition were four times as likely as those without
the condition to suffer from diabetes.
Women
with PCOS are often prescribed the oral
contraceptive pill or other hormonal treatments to fight their condition. This
will most likely help for type 2 diabetes as well since it tends to
reduce BMI and improve insulin sensitivity.
But
for the most of us, who don’t have PCOS, we need to look for other methods to cure type 2 diabetes.

Lifestyles to Prevent Type 2 Diabetes
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.
