how can i get ride of high glycemic?

Question

im not understanding how or what can happen to me being high glycemic im lost and scared can someone help?

Answer 1

You need to lower your blood sugar with diet and exercise. Do not eat sweet foods (or drinks!) and you need to watch that you don't have too many starchy (carbohydrate) foods. If you have been diagnosed diabetic you should get some dietary advice and then you can get a diet plan which suits your lifestyle. If you at not blood testing at home then maybe you should be doing that to keep tract of your blood glucose levels and how they relate to what you are eating. If you are diabetic you cannot get rid of it, but you can control it.

Answer 2

I am a patient, not a doc, so check this with your doc. But this is what I did.

Set up a systematic testing routine to find out what happens in your blood after you eat.

Eat, then test after eating at your peak spike time and if BG’s are too high then review what you ate and change the menu next time.

Then do that again, and again, and again until what you eat doesn’t spike you. You will get some surprises, particularly at breakfast time. The so-called "heart-healthy" breakfasts are NOT for most type 2's. Similarly, you will find variations through the day - the same thing will have different effects at breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper. But I can't say how they will affect others - only how it affected me - which is why we all need to test ourselves.

See the source urls for more detailed versions of that.

Answer 3

NEUROPATHY
In diabetes, high blood sugar leads to increased viscosity (in simple words - increased concenteration of sugar and thick blood), which leads to leaking of water into the nerves. The sheath covering the nerves can not handle this, and is destroyed by the pressure, leading to damage of the nerves.
Such damage is percieved as abnormal sensations such as--

NUMBNESS
PAIN
ABNORMAL FEELING OF TOUCH AND TEMPERATURE

this is Neuropathy.

Then throw in blindness, amputation, kidney failure, heart disease.

Now, to help you--

I realize that conventional health care is necessary and appropriate. That having been said, there are also many things WE can do to overcome type II diabetes, and improve life as a Type I diabetic. I've been researching alternative medicine, and the amount of help that's available to diabetics is amazing.

Natural remedies are quite effective, and include:

Cinnamon
Bitter Melon
Gymnema Sylvestre
Nopal cactus
American Ginseng
Fenugreek
Chromium picolinate

Cinnamon regulates glucose, and has a polyphenol compound called MHCP that mimics insulin and activates cell receptor sites. A quarter teaspoon twice daily makes a difference. Fenugreek increases blood flow and inhibits the growth of infectious organisms. Everything on the list has a use in fighting diabetes. Learn how to use these herbs and don't fall victim to diabetes needlessly.You can find out about about them on line, or in a book I read cover to cover--

"One Son's Quest for the Cause and Cure of Diabetes", ISBN 7890766313

The author, a doctor, lost his mother to diabetes and spent the next 20 years finding a way to overcome it. My brother was dying of diabetes, and I was just starting to need insulin when we came across this definitive work which came out in February 2005. We both lead mostly normal lives now. It's a life saver, and the best money you'll ever spend on the subject if you decide to go that way.
You might want to check Abe Books, Alibri's, or Amazon.com for a good used copy cheap. I bought mine new, and I think it was about $35. I don't get any money from anybody for telling you this--just want to help, and the techniques in this book is what made the difference for me and mine. Best of luck.

Answer 4

Have you ever run around in deep sand? It's a lot more difficult than running on firm dirt. Your horse has to exert more effort to do the same things if the footing is deeper than what he's used to. Be careful that the footing isn't too deep, because that can be just as damaging to his tendons as riding on really hard ground. Also, is his winter coat in? That would definitely account for more sweat, if you're comparing it to when he still had his summer coat at the other stable.

Answer 7

Diabetes Mellitus
Description

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder that affects carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism. Carbohydrates are normally broken down in the body to glucose, the bodys main source of energy. Insulin, a hormone produced in the pancreas, is essential for the transport of glucose into the cells for energy and also for glycogen storage. It also stimulates protein synthesis and free fatty acid storage in the adipose (fat) tissues. In diabetes, insufficient production of insulin or insensitivity to insulin impairs the bodys ability to convert glucose to energy, and compromises the body cells access to essential nutrients for fuel and storage.1

Types

Type I (juvenile) or insulin dependent diabetes mellitus is caused by the destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. By the time the disease becomes apparent, up to 80% of the beta cells have been destroyed. This process is theorized to be the result of an autoimmune disorder.
Type II (adult onset) or non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus is a defect in insulin utilization. Normal amounts of insulin are made, but cannot be properly utilized by the body. 2

At Risk

The tendency to develop diabetes can be hereditary, other factors that can contribute to the development of type II diabetes include diet and lifestyle, pregnancy, surgery, physical and emotional stress, and obesity.

Prevention and Management

General:

Diet and lifestyle are the most important factors for the prevention of non-insulin dependent diabetes and in management of insulin-depended diabetes. Regular aerobic excerise, such as brisk walking, jogging, swimming, or bicycling, will improve how the body uses insulin and aids in the regulation of blood sugar and lipid levels.4

Nutritional Influences:

A high fiber diet is associated with an improved ability to handle blood sugar.5 When the diet is high in fiber, cells are more sensitive to insulin and increase the number of insulin receptor sites for burning glucose.6
Antioxidants, including vitamin E, vitamin C, beta-carotene, bioflavanoids, and B-complex vitamins can help protect against free radical damage.7
Vitamin E levels in the blood of diabetics are lower than levels found in the blood of subjects without diabetes. Poor dietary intake of vitamin E may alter blood sugar levels, while an adequate intake may help to modulate blood sugar levels.8
Vitamin C metabolism and tissue levels are altered in diabetes.9 Optimal vitamin C intake may help to regulate blood sugar and aid in the prevention of diabetes.10
Minerals may also play a role in protecting against the damaging effects of diabetes. Diabetics tend to lose magnesium through their kidneys more than non-diabetics. Type I diabetics who get at least 450 mg of magnesium are able to improve insulin production and maintain better control of blood sugar levels.11
Trace minerals such as chromium are essential for insulin and glucose metabolism.12

Abstracts

Liu V, Abernathy R. Chromium insulin in young subjects with normal glucose tolerance. AM J Clin Nutr 1982;35:661-7. This study investigated the chromium-insulin relationship in young subjects who had normal glucose tolerance at different levels of insulin secretion during their glucose loading. Their findings were consistent with the hypothesis that chromium may facilitate sensitivity to insulin. When chromium was found to be low, there was an increase in abnormal glucose tolerance, which the authors felt could be reversed in some cases with chromium supplementation.
