Having borderline high glucose is a great time to make changes...so good question! Best bet is for you to get an appointment with a diabetic nutritionist affiliated with your doctor. That way there is coordinated care. Also, the nutritionist can specifically talk to you about what you like to eat and good alternatives.

Low glycemic index diets met with praise from healthcare professionals
by Mike Adams

Scientists have found that including one extra low glycemic index food per meal helps lower blood sugar, thereby slightly lowering the chances of diabetes. The British Dietetic Association warned of over reliance on the diet, since ice cream is also low on the glycemic index. A spokeswoman for the charity, Diabetes UK says that the low GI diet is the only one they endorse. Health professionals were encouraged by the study, but stressed that consumption of a low GI food should be made part of a balanced diet.

Doctors are praising a new diet craze for its benefits for helping the heart and controlling diabetes.
Low glycaemic index diets involve replacing high GI foods potatoes and white bread with low GI options such as apples, pasta and beans.
A Hammersmith Hospitals NHS Trust team found eating just one extra low GI item per meal cut blood sugar levels, the British Journal of Nutrition said.
The low GI diet has been dubbed the "Atkins alternative" and has been recommended by a host of celebrities.
The Hammersmith team measured the blood sugar levels of nine people on normal diets, and then put them on a low GI diet involving replacing one low GI item per meal for two weeks.
When the readings were taken again eight out of nine subjects had lower blood sugar readings.
Dr Gary Frost, head of nutrition and dietetics at the trust, said: "The scientific benefits of low GI diets are becoming increasingly clear, and this new research is a further indicator of the potential that including these foods in a balanced diet has.
"What is interesting is that replacing just one item per meal has this beneficial effect on blood sugar levels, putting people at lower risk of metabolic syndrome, a condition which can increase the risk of heart disease and diabetes."
"It is a good way of controlling blood sugar levels, but it should form part of a balanced diet."
And diabetes dietician Paul McArdle, of the Eastern Birmingham Primary Care Trust, said: "The GI index is a useful concept.
"For busy people it points to an easier way to reduce the risk of disease by recognising the value of avoiding high levels of sugar in the bloodstream.

Quick Action Plan for Diabetes


1. Nutrition is the key to getting rid of the cravings. Once you learn about nutrition (#6) and also cleansing out the toxins in the body by doing a colon, liver, and kidney cleanse. You'll be on your way to a healthy life.

2. Keep in mind that the goal of diabetic treatment and self-care is to restore blood sugar levels close to normal and to correct related metabolic disorders. One of the best ways to accomplish this is by eating small, frequent meals throughout the day that emphasize fresh, organic foods that are low on the glycemic scale, such as raw and lightly steamed vegetables, low sugar whole fruits, nuts, seeds, whole grains and legumes, yams, wild fish, poultry, lean cuts of beef, bison meal, lamb or veal.

3. Minimize or eliminate your intake of simple carbohydrates and all sugars, as well as tobacco and processed "junk foods." In addition, reduce your intake of alcohol and caffeine. Both alcohol and caffeine could be enjoyed on special occasions, rather than daily or even weekly habits.

4. Remain hydrated; drinking adequate quantities of pure water is essential for all aspects of your health. Must drink about a gallon of water a day to maintain health. Your body is craving this much more than caffeine and sugar.

5. Engage in regular light exercise and stress reduction because they are KEY to maintaining lower levels of blood sugar.

6. Consider supplementing with nutrients such as B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E, CHROMIUM PICOLINATE, magnesium, potassium, essential fatty acids, CoQ10, alpha lipoic acid, and vanadium. Stabilized rice bran supplements can also be helpful.

7. Herbs such as astragalus, CINNAMON, bitter melon, fenugreek, raw garlic (one of the best for blood pressure), ginseng, Gymnema sylvestre, and nopal cactus, can also provide significant benefits.

8. If you have already developed Type I or Type II diabetes, combine the above self-care natural cures with professional care from a holistically oriented physician or other alternative health care practitioner. Particularly useful professional care therapies for treating and preventing diabetes include chelation therapy, food allergy testing, parasite testing and if necessary, cleansing, and oxygen therapy.

9. Prevention, if you are pre-disposed and managing a diabetic condition, is a life-long commitment. By committing to the guidelines above, you can significantly improve your symptoms, and, if you suffer from Type II diabetes, quite possibly reverse them altogether. Implementing diet and lifestyle changes can help improve your energy levels, and your confidence in your ability to experience greater health.

10. Watch the 8-minute non-profit video http://www.rawfor30days.com/view.html, about diabetes diet.

Answer 9

Just cut the junk food and start learning to count carbs.
Try to get five servings of veggies a day and one or two of fruit but not fruit juice.
Protein is good.

Even if you do get it, it won't be your fault.
Good luck.
