How can I prevent myself from getting diabetes?

My doctor told me to stop eating so many sweets. And I try, but it doesnt work, and i end up eating like 3 or 4 pieces of chocolate every day. I need to stop, because my blood sugar is already very high. Any tips on how to resist sugar?

I also forgot to add that my grandfather had diabetes, which increases my chances a significant amount.

In the past I've worked with Diabetes Society of the Santa Clara Valley as their Outreach Chairman for about 3 years. I've had Type 1 Diabetes since 1974. Type 1 diabetes is not inherited. But if you are over weight you can be, even at the age of 12, a type 2 diabetic. You really should consider a healthier diet and get plenty of exercise.

Answer 5

You can't necessarily prevent yourself from developing diabetes, although you certainly can tip the scales in either direction by poor diet and lifestyle. My father also had trouble with craving sweets, and he found that sometimes he could eat a sour thing and control it. Something like a small bit of dill pickle. He also learned to like the diabetic sweets, which also helped. They do make sugar free chocolate, and although it isn't quite the same, it might help break the craving as well. You might also consider upping the exercise level, which sometimes helps lower blood sugar levels and helps you stay diet controlled. Then you can adjust the diet with the help of a dietician to perhaps include a daily dose of chocolate, a small amount that could be offset by changes or substitutions elsewhere during the day.

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Blood sugar imbalances are often prompted by chronic mineral deficiencies. The vast majority of people living in industrialized nations suffer from deficiencies in major minerals like zinc, magnesium and selenium, and in other nutrients. The brain, sensing these deficiencies, sends the signal to keep eating until the needed minerals are acquired, but since most modern processed foods are virtually devoid of these minerals, a person will never achieve the necessary mineralization consumption, no matter how much food they eat.

That's one reason why people can eat enormous quantities of processed or manufactured foods and still feel hungry. Their body is not receiving the proper hormonal "full" signals due to the absence of minerals necessary for normal blood sugar metabolism and hormone balance.

According to recent studies conducted by the Pritikin Longevity Center, diabetes starts from too much fat in the diet and insufficient exercise, not malfunction of the pancreas as previously thought. The pancreas continues to produce insulin when you have diabetes but the body becomes insulin resistant. Research has shown that over 90% of type 2 diabetes cases can be TOTALLY CORRECTED with diet and exercise, if a person is willing to significantly change their lifestyle. You can actually REVERSE some of these conditions with diet (nutrition, not weight loss) and exercise. It is hard to believe, but watch the 8-minute non-profit video at rawfor30days.com, about diabetes diet, and see how this can be done.
Best of luck.

Answer 8

First of all, sugar does not cause diabetes. Being overweight, lack exercise, and genetic makeup can lead to diabetes.

To avoid type II diabetes (adult form) exercise and weight are the key factors. Sugar can and will raise blood sugar but will not cause it.

To resist sugar temptation find another substitute. Raw carrots and celery sticks work for some. Apple slices and orange slices have fructose which is much better than sucrose in chocolate. Many people goes to sugar free chocolate if they have a real chocolate craze.

Exercise that you enjoy is helpful. Find someone to partner with if its just to go for a walk. Walking is a great way to stave off apetite cravings.

Don't wait! Diabetes experts say these easy steps can dramatically reduce your risk of diabetes or reverse early diabetes:

Get tested now.
Many of the risk factors are silent.

And later.
Get retested in 6 months to a year to find out if your risk has gone up or down.

Nudge the scale.
Even extremely overweight people lowered their risk of diabetes by 70 percent when they lost just 5 percent of their weight--even if they didn't exercise. If you weigh 175 lb, that's a little less than 9 lb.

Cut the fat.
Targets for healthy fat intake range from less than 30 percent of daily calories (less than 10 percent saturated fat) to a daily 42 g fat. Prevention recommends keeping total fat intake to 25 percent of your daily calories.

Rev up the fruits, veggies, and whole grains.
Prevention recommends nine servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Try to make at least half of your grain choices (including breads, rice, pasta) whole grain to raise your fiber intake still higher.

Move a little more.
People in the Finnish study who exercised the most--up to 4 hours a week--dropped their risk of diabetes by 80 percent, even if they didn't lose any weight. America's Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) aims for just 30 minutes of exercise, five times a week, and expects big results. Moderate exercise--walking, biking, playing tennis--may be enough.
