Diabetes Ii Prevention

[GTR-N1]

Diabetes II onset is about age 44 (on average) and getting earlier...

But are there tell-tale signs long beforehand?

Consider please this model:- Primary (14 causes and going up) > Secondary (Hypoglycemia) > Tertiary (Diabetes II) > Quaternary (You wouldn't want to know)

* Primary - there are about 14 causes of hypoglycemia; 7 common; 7 rare

* Secondary - Hypoglycemia with tiredness not long after lunch and waking up flat each morning; it's where the pancreas is so sensitive, it produces too much insulin for extended periods

* Tertiary - Hyperglycemia with Hypoglycemic swings; where the pancreas is tired and can't produce insulin like it used to; Beta cells in the Islets of Langerhans degrade

* Quaternary - Offshoot of Diabetes is Blood flow in legs restricted > amputation + Blindness + Libido loss + Cardiac problems + Cancer risk + Rage

Let's hit the Primary and Secondary (before they get you)!

Experiment:- To Reduce That Mid-afternoon Tiredness Waking Up Flat Feeling

* You don't have to be overweight to get Hypoglycemia but it pays to lose some if your core girth measurements are getting up there.

* Easily digestible Chromium is in Egg Yolk > Try eating one egg at brekky and one at lunch

* Have a small to medium amount of protein at every meal throughout the day as well

* Vitamin B3 along with Chromium reduces 'Insulin Resistance' so take Tresos-B or Stress B Forte or Meta B Complex at 2/day after brekky/lunch

* Reduce simple carbohydrates (for complex carbs with plenty of veg and fruit)

* Fruit (4 pces/day) strategically taken at mid-morning, an hour after lunch, 2 hrs after lunch and before bed

* Use little nut packs as snacks

* Calorie (or Kj) count of brekky + lunch should exceed dinner (according to the AIS outside of protein loading times)

* Taking a walk at the end of lunch and before going back into work is good sense to help that squirt of insulin to 'J-Curve' out.

(Ash noticed this on the Multivitamin thread)

Let's hit the Tertiary even if you're already unlucky to have it - or some close relatives also are afflicted!

Experiment:-

* Bioceuticals "Gluco Factors" contains Gymnema Sylvestre - yes it's a herb

It helps to regenerate the Beta cells in the Islets of Langerhans as these produce your insulin.

* Losing weight is essential

* Following the rationale in Post #2 along with the Gymnema and losing weight might just get you back into being "Pre-diabetic" once again.

Also resistance training is great, I have the ACSM (American college of sports medicine) resistance training guidelines so ill post them up shortly that is what the Australian training guidelines are based on.

Taking your advice from the "Brain Health Thread", I've been taking Fusion Health weight loss tablets as each tab contains 200mcg of chromium and 480mg of Gymnema Sylvestre leaf which is eqiv to 16.5mg of gymnemic acids. Do you think this product is effective or is there others out there which are better?

So far it seems to be doing its job considering I rarely take anti-diabetic tabs now and blood glucose levels are normal still.

[GTR-N1]

That formula above is good!

Thanks Melly too!

Sorry Terry but the line below

* Vitamin B3 along with Chromium reduces 'Insulin Resistance' so take Tresos-B or Stress B Forte or Meta B Complex at 2/day after brekky/lunch

Does that mean take Tresos B twice a day? once after breakfeast and another after lunch? as the recommended daily dosage for the Tresos-B plu Sel is once a day and to be taken with meals

[GTR-N1]

It's safe to take one Tresos B twice a day yes.

You're right about one after brekky and one after lunch.

After a month when the mid afternoon tiredness (or hypoglycemia) subsides, the dosage can be reduced to just one a day after brekky.

That's because the formulae I gave out above, contain biotin and choline which help the liver produce more of your own B3

exercise is one of the most important option to which we can get free from Diabetes. Exercise is extremely important for preventing diabetes. You need at least ½ hour of exercise per day. That means vigorous walking to get your heart rate up or any other type of exercise that helps you to work up a sweat. One hour a day is even better. New clinical trials showed that when participants walked vigorously for 30 minutes a day 5 days per week and also lost weight in the amount of 5-7% of their total body weight, they cut their risk of developing diabetes by 50%. Not only will lots of exercise help in preventing diabetes, it also enhances your immune system by getting your lymph system moving, it builds muscle and bones, improves heart and lung efficiency, reduces stress, burns fat, raises your metabolism and generally keeps your body young. Studies have revealed that exercise also lowers blood sugar and keeps it down for several hours after the exercise which also contributes to preventing diabetes.
