6. Introduction Diabetes can affect anyone from any walk of life. Statistics shows that more than 400 million people world over suffer from diabetes. Diabetes increases the risks of kidney disease, cardiovascular diseases, blindness, and other debilitating complications. Research by the Centre for Diseases Control (CDC) estimates that it costs the American public about $245 billion every year. Unfortunately, a medical cure is not currently available for diabetes. Injecting insulin or taking oral diabetic medications are effective in controlling blood sugar levels and slowing the development of complications, but not enough to cure the disease. Yes, diabetes is a chronic disease, but that doesn’t mean that you should put your hands in the air and let it defeat you. Many people have lived with diabetes for a long and productive life. Some even have cured the disease. What are their secrets? An important takeaway from their success stories is that healthy lifestyles matter when dealing with diabetes. Eating healthy food, exercising regularly, and losing weight are all critical for blood sugar improvement. Through due diligence with healthy habits and medication, you can control and even reverse diabetes. This book will provide you with the best ideas to deal with diabetes on a day- to-day basis. The 15 habit-developing strategies in this book will enable you to adopt a healthier lifestyle, quit bad habits, and avoid diabetes complications. These tips are not a set of rigid rules, but rather, think of them as sensible and natural ways to lower blood glucose levels. These habits will help you take back control of your health and life, and win the battle against diabetes.

7. Introduction to Diabetes The majority of diabetics find out that they have the disease accidentally on a medical checkup, some of them, unfortunately, too late. This tells us that people take poor care of themselves. The management of diabetes cannot be solely the responsibility of doctors. The first step to managing blood sugar and improve your condition is to educate yourself.

8. What Is Diabetes? Diabetes is a common and prevalent disease that occurs when the blood glucose levels in your blood get too high. In general, blood glucose comes from the food you eat and is the main source of energy for your body to perform routine and necessary tasks. Most of the food that you eat is broken down into glucose by the body and this glucose is sent through your blood to every part of your body for energy. Many hormones play an important role in converting the food you eat into glucose. One such hormone is called insulin and this is made by the organ called pancreas. The insulin hormone is responsible for taking the glucose from your blood stream and delivering them to each individual cell. Diabetics either do not produce enough insulin due to a malfunctioning pancreas, or their body's cells do not adequately respond to the insulin circulating through their bloodstream. As a result, the person's blood is flooded with glucose.

9. Symptoms of Diabetes The symptoms of diabetes include the following: • Increased thirst • Frequent urination • Fatigue because the glucose never reaches the cells to give you energy • Blurred vision • Hunger pangs • A tingling feeling in your hands and feet • Soreness and wounds that don't heal fast • Unexplained weight loss There are three types of diabetes.

10. Type 1 Diabetes Type 1 (juvenile) diabetes is not as common as type 2 diabetes and typically affects children under the age of fourteen. Although adults can become afflicted with this type of diabetes, it is considered very rare in those 35 years of age or older. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the pancreas produces little or no insulin. This usually occurs when the immune system attacks the cells in the pancreas that are responsible for making insulin. Although this type of diabetes is almost impossible to reverse naturally and requires medications, this book will help people with type 1 diabetes improve their general health. Are you also struggling to lower blood sugar, If so then you need a good diet that will help you to lower blood sugar naturally, because many health experts and coaches recommend a good and natural diet to lower blood sugar, because if you'll use any unnatural diet that is not safe and it has some side effects then it can be harmful for your body, like -- it can damage your liver, kidney, heart etc. "So which natural diet do I need to lower my blood sugar ?" There is a brand new diet that is going viral day by day, that diet is all-natural, safe and it doesn't have any side effects, and many health experts and coaches recommend that diet to use for lowering blood sugar naturally, So that diet is called "The Smart Blood Sugar" What Is Smart Blood Sugar??

11. Type 2 Diabetes Type 2 (adult onset) diabetes accounts for 90 percent of all cases and typically strikes after age 45. With this type of the disorder, the body's cells do not properly respond to the insulin that is present in the bloodstream, resulting in high glucose levels despite the fact that adequate insulin is being produced. Although type 2 diabetes is typically diagnosed after age 45, an increasing number of individuals under the age of 30 are being diagnosed with the disorder each year. Some of the known factors that can lead to diabetes are: Lifestyle Overweight and physical inactivity are two of the major causes of type 2 diabetes. When you carry a lot of body weight, it impacts the production of insulin and the amount that is available may not be enough to pass the glucose to every cell in your body. This leads to accumulation of glucose in the blood, thereby leading to diabetes. Resistance to insulin In some people, for unknown reasons, the muscle, liver, and fat cells do not use insulin well. This means, the pancreas is forced to produce more insulin as whatever it is producing currently may not be enough. Although the pancreas adapts to producing more, the inefficient usage of insulin by the other organs, makes it difficult to bridge the gap. Genetic factors Some races are more prone to diabetes due to genetic factors and the food that they have been eating for generations. For example, South-east Asians who thrive on carbohydrate rich rice as their staple are more predisposed to diabetes. Family history

12. A family history greatly increases your chances to get diabetes. Hormonal diseases Some hormonal diseases like Cushing's syndrome and hyperthyroidism may cause diabetes. In Cushing's syndrome, the body produces too much cortisol, a hormone known to induce stress and reduce the production of insulin. Likewise, in hyperthyroidism, the thyroid produces too much thyroid hormone that impacts insulin.

13. Gestational Diabetes Gestational diabetes is the third type of diabetes that occurs during pregnancy. It usually presents during the second trimester of pregnancy and resolves itself after the child is born. Up to 10 percent of all expectant mothers will develop gestational diabetes, many of whom will develop type 2 diabetes later in life.

14. Managing Diabetes Diabetes is a common disease that affects millions of people around the world. Currently, there is no medical cure to diabetes, which means, you have to manage it well. The good news is that with a healthy lifestyle and medication, you can continue to live a long and happy life. The rest of this book will provide you with the best strategies to manage diabetes on a day-to-day basis.

15. 1. Count the Carbs Remember how we said that the glucose in our blood comes from carbohydrate intake? Obviously, the next step towards managing and reversing diabetes would be controlling the intake of carbohydrates (carbs). Carbohydrates are a major component in many types of food such as fruits, vegetables, cookies, corn, potatoes, beer, wine, dairy products, bread and rice. Our body breaks down the carbohydrates in the foods and turns them into glucose, which is used for energy production. Eating more carbohydrates than your body needs will increase your blood sugar to unhealthy levels. Diabetics should avoid this, and therefore need to count carbohydrates in food consumption. Are you also struggling to lower blood sugar, If so then you need a good diet that will help you to lower blood sugar naturally, because many health experts and coaches recommend a good and natural diet to lower blood sugar, because if you'll use any unnatural diet that is not safe and it has some side effects then it can be harmful for your body, like -- it can damage your liver, kidney, heart etc. "So which natural diet do I need to lower my blood sugar ?" There is a brand new diet that is going viral day by day, that diet is all-natural, safe and it doesn't have any side effects, and many health experts and coaches recommend that diet to use for lowering blood sugar naturally, So that diet is called "The Smart Blood Sugar" What Is Smart Blood Sugar??

16. How much carbohydrate is ideal for diabetics? Counting carbs means counting the grams of carbohydrates in the food you eat. It seems impossible to come up with a perfect number of carbs since that depends on many different factors such as the medications you are taking, your lifestyle, age, weight and other factors. For example, an active person can eat more carbohydrates without affecting their blood sugar levels, as compared to a person with a sedentary lifestyle. That is why it is recommended for you to talk to your doctor so that you can set the ideal carb amount together. Below is a general guideline: Women: 30 – 60 grams per meal 10 – 30 grams per snack Men: 45 – 75 grams per meal 10 – 30 grams per snack Here is a list of foods that have carbohydrates: • Grains (rice, barley, oatmeal, etc.) • Other foods that are based on grains (pasta, bread, etc.) • Milk products • Starchy vegetables (corn, potatoes, etc.) • Fruits (that also includes juices) • Legumes (dried beans, soy, etc.) • Sugar, sweets, snacks *Note: There are also non-starchy vegetables that contain a lower amount of carbohydrates: broccoli, cucumber, cauliflower, and lettuce.

17. How do you count carbohydrate intake? There are several ways to count carbohydrates: 1) Learn how to read a Nutrition Facts label. This can be found at the back of most packaged products. Take note that the numbers shown are according to serving and not for the whole package. The above label shows that two slices contain 36 grams of carbohydrate. The carbohydrate includes 6 grams of fiber and 3 grams of sugars. Since fiber does not raise blood sugar levels, you can subtract the 6 grams of fiber from the total carbohydrate available. 36 grams – 6 grams will leave you with 30 grams for the two slices. You should always read the food labels before consumption, however, in cases when that is not possible; you should have a general serving size in mind. Here is a list of examples that will help you in the process. Each of the following foods contains about 15 grams of carbohydrates: • 1 slice of bread • 1 medium flour tortilla • 1 small fruit (approximately 4 ounces) • ⅓ cup of cooked rice

18. • ⅓ cup of cooked pasta • ½ cup of black beans • ½ cup of cooked starchy vegetables • 1 cup of soup • ½ English muffin • 3 cups popcorn • 2/3 cup of fat-free yogurt • ½ cup oatmeal • ½ cup frozen fruit (or canned) • ½ cup casserole • ½ banana • 2 cookies 2) Controlling portions: number of servings If you want to have more servings of a particular food, you’ll have to take portions into consideration. Based on the above Nutrition Facts label, the carb count of 36 grams is only for two slices. This means that if you eat four slices, you will be consuming twice the amount of carbohydrates. Tip: Close your fist. That would be 1 cup. 3) Learn about the glycemic load of your favorite foods Glycemic load is the amount of carbohydrates in food or drink being consumed. The glycemic index is a tool that measures how much food change the levels of blood glucose. Foods with an index of 70 or higher are considered high glycemic index foods. You should aim for foods with a low glycemic index to keep your sugar levels from spiking.

19. 2. Sugar? No, Thanks! Eating sugar when you have a blood sugar disease is like adding fuel to a fire. Most people will react to this statement with panic. Sugar is part of our daily diet, and many delicious foods have a significant amount of sugar in them! Cakes, pastries, soda, juice, jellies – if it’s delicious, you can bet it has sugar. To manage blood sugar, you need to stop eating foods that contain a lot of sugar. Be aware, as the sugar comes in many forms. Know the many names of sugar so you can identify them on a Nutrition Facts Label. If it ends in “-ose”, that is sugar. Other than the obvious: brown sugar, confectioner’s sugar, powdered sugar, honey, maple syrup, etc. when you see one of the names below, know that the product contains sugar: • caramel • cane juice • corn sweetener • corn syrup • fructose • galactose • maltose • molasses • treacle To lower sugar intake, sweeteners such as aspartame, acesulfame potassium, saccharin, and sucralose, which do not increase blood glucose, can be used up to acceptable daily limits. If you don’t want to use artificial sweeteners, stevia which is a natural plant extract, is the best choice. The World Health Organization recommended that people cut their daily sugar

20. intake from 10% of daily calorie intake to just 5%. The American Heart Association recommended no more than 100 calories of sugar a day for women (6 teaspoons) and not more than 150 calories for men (9 teaspoons). In case you were not aware, a can of soda contains ten teaspoons of sugar. So, you know what to do. The next time when asked how you like your coffee, your answer better be sugar-free. Are you also struggling to lower blood sugar, If so then you need a good diet that will help you to lower blood sugar naturally, because many health experts and coaches recommend a good and natural diet to lower blood sugar, because if you'll use any unnatural diet that is not safe and it has some side effects then it can be harmful for your body, like -- it can damage your liver, kidney, heart etc. "So which natural diet do I need to lower my blood sugar ?"

21. 3. Rainbow Diet Have you ever heard the expression ‘eating the rainbow’? It is gaining popularity, and more and more nutritionists and health experts are suggesting having ‘the rainbow’ on our plates.

22. Rainbow Diet The rainbow diet is a colorful diet. It encourages to consume fruits and vegetables that contain all of the rainbow’s colors. Each vegetable and fruit offer different vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. When you get into the habit of adding variety to your diet, you reap the benefits of a healthy immune system and healthier body. Fruits and vegetables can be separated into five color categories – red, purple (or blue), green, orange and white (or brown). Each color can tell you what vitamin or nutrient is in the food. RED – rich in lycopene, a powerful antioxidant. Tomatoes, papaya, and grapefruits are high in lycopene. PURPLE or BLUE – contains the antioxidant anthocyanin which gives them the blue color. Anthocyanin-rich foods include blueberry, blackberry, cherry, cranberry, eggplant and purple cabbage. GREEN – are rich in phytochemicals such as carotenoids, saponins, and indoles, which provide many health benefits including lower blood glucose levels. Green vegetables, such as kale, broccoli, spinach, celery, lettuce and bok choy, were particularly beneficial. ORANGE – are rich in carotenoids like beta-carotene that is converted by our body to vitamin A. Carrots, butternut squash, yellow peppers, pumpkin, sweet potatoes are some examples. WHITE fruits and vegetables such as cauliflower, garlic, onion, mushrooms, and banana, are natural sources of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber. For a healthy diet, freshly prepared vegetables and fruits are better than

23. processed ones. Make sure you eat a rainbow of colorful vegetables and fruits each day. If you do not feel like eating a bowl of fruits or vegetables, there is always the possibility of making a delicious smoothie.

24. Fiber One of the benefits of consuming vegetables and fruits is the intake of fiber, which is a type of carbohydrate that the human body cannot digest or absorb. Fiber also helps to control blood sugar. Foods that are high in fiber take a longer time to digest and don’t spike blood glucose levels like sugars and starchy foods. Importantly, fiber binds cholesterol and prevents cholesterol from entering the bloodstream, actually lowering cholesterol levels and the risk of heart disease. There are two types of fiber, soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber binds water and forms a gel, keeping you full for a longer period of time. Apples, strawberries, carrots, some vegetables, strawberries – to name a few – are rich in soluble fiber. Insoluble fiber assists in moving foods through the digestive tract. It is found in dark leafy vegetables, whole wheat, raisins, barley, nuts, cabbage and much more. Fiber is listed under carbohydrates in Nutrition Fact labels. As fiber does not raise blood sugar level, you can subtract this number from the total carbohydrate content. How much fiber do you need? Diabetics are recommended to consume 25 to 50 grams of fiber daily. In addition to vegetables and fruits, you can take fiber supplements to add more fiber to your diet.

25. Make a Meal Plan An effective meal plan should be tailored to your medical conditions and eating habits. A good starting point is a "three meals and three snacks" plan to even out food intake during the day. Eating too much at one meal will cause blood sugar spikes. On the other hand, not eating regularly can cause unwanted drops in blood sugar. If you are taking diabetes medications, the timing of meals and snacks needs to be coordinated with the timing of insulin injections, medications, and blood glucose tests. Regularity is crucial. This includes the same dose of insulin or medications at the same time every day and eating the same amount of healthy foods at the same time every day. Are you also struggling to lower blood sugar, If so then you need a good diet that will help you to lower blood sugar naturally, because many health experts and coaches recommend a good and natural diet to lower blood sugar, because if you'll use any unnatural diet that is not safe and it has some side effects then it can be harmful for your body, like -- it can damage your liver, kidney, heart etc. "So which natural diet do I need to lower my blood sugar ?"

26. 4. Cut Back on Saturated Fats and Avoid Trans Fats Everybody needs dietary fats to remain healthy. Because fats have higher calorie counts than carbohydrates and proteins, try to eat high-fat foods in moderation. Diabetics should watch the consumption of saturated fats and avoid trans fats.

27. Saturated Fats One of the complications of diabetes is heart disease. Studies have shown that high saturated fat consumption increases the levels of LDL (bad cholesterol) while reduces the levels of HDL (good cholesterol), leading to plaque formation and clogging of arteries. Being a diabetic, you are already at a greater risk for a heart disease, so it is important to consume saturated fats in moderation. Foods High in Saturated Fats: • Butter • Lard • Chocolate • Coconut and Coconut Oil • Cream Sauces • Palm Oil Saturated fats are also found in fried foods, processed foods, red meats, hot dogs, high-fat dairy products, and poultry skin. In Nutrition Fact labels, saturated fats are listed under total fats.

28. Trans Fats Just like saturated fats, trans fats raise bad cholesterol and reduce good cholesterol in the blood. Many studies have shown that trans fats have more severe effects on heart health than even saturated fats. So avoid trans fats entirely. Most trans fats are produced artificially by the food industry that hydrogenates vegetable oils to increase their shelf life and to enhance the flavor of processed foods. Trans fats are by-products of the oil hydrogenation process. Trans fats can be found in processed foods, cookies, baked goods, cream pies, margarine, shortening and fried foods from some restaurants. When shopping for groceries, double check the trans-fat section in the Nutrition Facts labels, and avoid those foods containing partially hydrogenated or hydrogenated vegetable oils. If a particular food contains 0.5 grams of trans fats the label will most likely say 0 grams. That is why it is a good idea to check the list of the ingredients.

29. Healthy Fats Instead of saturated fats and trans fats, choose monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats. These healthy fats can be found in the following foods. Foods High in Monosaturated Fats • Avocados • Olive oil • Sesame Seeds • Peanut Oil • Almonds • Cashews Foods High in Polyunsaturated Fats • Walnuts • Pumpkin Seeds • Sunflower Seeds • Soybean Oil • Corn Oil • Cottonseed Oil Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids that your body needs for normal functions. Omega-3 fatty acids can protect the heart by lowering the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, by reducing blood pressure, and by suppressing inflammation. Foods Rich in Omega 3 Fatty Acids • Salmon • Sardines

30. • Mackerel • Trout • Herring • Flaxseeds Are you also struggling to lower blood sugar, If so then you need a good diet that will help you to lower blood sugar naturally, because many health experts and coaches recommend a good and natural diet to lower blood sugar, because if you'll use any unnatural diet that is not safe and it has some side effects then it can be harmful for your body, like -- it can damage your liver, kidney, heart etc. "So which natural diet do I need to lower my blood sugar ?"

31. 5. Supplement Your Diet As much as a healthy diet is important for managing diabetes, you cannot rely solely on balanced meals. When you have diabetes, high blood sugar acts as a diuretic and the nutrients your body absorbed will be filtered out of your body. This makes diabetics prone to deficiency in water-soluble vitamins and minerals. To have a proper nutrition that will keep your blood sugar in check, you need to take supplements. Another reason to take supplements is that by increasing your nutrient intake, you are helping your body use insulin more efficiently to keep your blood glucose levels healthy. A number of dietary supplements are available for diabetics. Although research on the effectiveness of diabetes supplements is still limited, there are a few supplements that are beneficial. When combined with diabetes diet, regular exercise, and medications, dietary supplements can help manage diabetes and its complications. Make sure to consult your doctor to see which supplement is the best for you. Herbs, for example, can have powerful effects and may interfere with your diabetes medications.

32. Chromium Chromium is a trace mineral that can be found in common foods including fruits, vegetables, fish, and meat. Chromium enhances the function of insulin and assists with reducing blood sugar levels. Clinical trials have shown that chromium helps the body distribute glucose and nutrients into cells. However, this supplement should be taken in small doses, as too much chromium can threaten kidney function.

33. Vitamin D Diabetics are more prone to infection. Vitamin D activates the immune system and can help you fight bacteria and viruses.

34. Magnesium This mineral is essential for protein synthesis and energy production. Studies have shown that increased magnesium intake can slow the progression from pre-diabetes to diabetes.

35. Prickly Pear Cactus Some studies have shown that prickly pear cactus lowers blood sugar. Packed with compounds that work much like the insulin, the ripe fruit of this type of cactus can be found in supermarkets or health food stores. Eat it cooked or buy a powdered juice. Are you also struggling to lower blood sugar, If so then you need a good diet that will help you to lower blood sugar naturally, because many health experts and coaches recommend a good and natural diet to lower blood sugar, because if you'll use any unnatural diet that is not safe and it has some side effects then it can be harmful for your body, like -- it can damage your liver, kidney, heart etc. "So which natural diet do I need to lower my blood sugar ?"

36. Bitter Melon Do not get confused by its name. Bitter melon is a popular Asian vegetable that is traditionally used as herbal medicine. Bitter melon contains polypeptide-p that acts like insulin to lower blood sugar. Also, bitter melon contains charatin, which promotes the conversion of glucose to glycogen for storage. Although there is limited evidence of clinical studies, bitter melon has shown promise in animal studies as a diabetes supplement. A small amount of its juice daily can have a great impact on your blood sugar.

37. Aloe Vera We commonly see aloe vera in many cosmetics products; it has yet another beneficial use. There are studies that have found out that the juice of this plant helps people with type 2 diabetes to lower their blood glucose. Did you know that in Arabia the powdered juice of aloe vera is traditionally used to treat diabetes?

38. Gymnema Sylvestre Extract This extract is derived from the leaves of the plant Gymnema sylvestre that grows in the Indian forests. The Gymnemic acids in the extract lower blood glucose by blocking the absorption of sugar. There are limited studies that also show that Gymnema sylvestre extract can regenerate the beta cells in the pancreas that secrete insulin.

39. Curcumin Turmeric is a spice that gives curry powder its bright yellow color. Turmeric contains the curcumin compound, which is responsible for the vast majority of the health benefits associated with the spice.

Your doctor will determine how often you should check your blood glucose levels. With type 2 diabetes your doctor will typically recommend checking at least once a day determined by the amount of insulin doses taken each day. The best time for monitoring your blood sugar is in the morning before you eat or drink anything. That is the most precise reading, and it gives you a clear view of what has been going on during the night. If you are taking insulin injection, recommended testing times include before and after meals, and after fasting for 8 hours or longer. Managing the disease without insulin might not require daily checks. Testing is done with a blood glucose meter, which has many different models available. Whether you have been given a blood glucose meter, or you have bought one yourself, they all work the same way. A meter includes a needle that is for pricking your skin, and strips for analyzing the blood. The process of testing is simple: 1) Make sure to wash your hands before pricking your finger. 2) Insert the strip into your meter, as instructed. 3) With the needle, prick the side of your fingertip. 4) Touch the strip with your finger, leaving the blood drop onto it. 5) Wait for your results to appear on the display. 6) Read the results.

In fact, overweight can lead to a worsening condition known as insulin resistance. Too much fat in the body can interfere with the function of insulin that is necessary for the body to process glucose. If you are overweight and suffer from type 2 diabetes, weight loss can improve your body’s response to insulin and lower blood sugar. The American Diabetes Association has concluded that just losing 10 to 15 pounds will significantly lower blood sugar levels. Eating healthy foods and regular exercise are proven ways to lose weight and keep it off. We have addressed eating healthy foods in previous sections of the book, and will now discuss the importance of physical exercise. Regular aerobic or cardio exercise is good for cardiovascular health and helps burning calories. Getting aerobic exercise at least three times per week for 20 minutes a time is an excellent way to extend stamina. You could use a cardio machine such as an elliptical, stationary bike, or a treadmill. You could also walk, jog, hike, swim, bike or run. Strength training helps increase body's lean muscle mass. Because it takes more energy to maintain muscle than fat, people who build muscle mass will burn a higher number of calories than people who have less muscle. Even when sedentary, more calories must be burned to support a muscular body than a body with poor muscle tone and excess fat. Toning your body at least three times a week using a stability ball, dumbbells, or a resistance band for 15–20 minutes at a time will have a significant impact. If exercising sounds like a daunting task now, know that it doesn’t have to be. There isn’t a strict path you should follow. Try as many different exercises as you like, combine or modify some, get creative and invent some new ways that will keep you active and your body mass in check, and take control over diabetes.

45. When you start new exercise activities or increase workout intensities, remember to track blood glucose levels before, during and after a workout. Blood glucose tests not only show you how your body is improving but also help to prevent dangerous blood glucose fluctuations. Excessive physical activities may lead to hypoglycemia, which is defined by blood glucose levels below 70 mg/dL. Hypoglycemia may cause nausea, weakness, unconsciousness and accident, and should be avoided. If you are taking diabetes medications or insulin, make sure that you measure blood glucose before exercise. After 30 minutes of exercise, check blood glucose level again. If your blood glucose level is lower than 100 mg/dL, take a break, eat some fruits or snacks, and carry on if you feel up to it. Stop exercising if your blood glucose level is lower than 70 mg/dL, or if you feel short of breath, pain or shaky. If you plan on beginning any new diet or exercise plans to lose weight, speak with your doctor to make sure that the food choices, meal planning, and workout intensities are the right fit for you.

46. 8. Limit Alcohol Consumption For all of you who enjoy a glass of wine over dinner, here is some good news – alcohol is not off limits when you have diabetes, especially if you have your sugar levels under control. The American Diabetes Association recommends no more than one alcoholic drink per day for women and no more than two drinks a day for men (1 drink = 12 ounces of beer = 5 ounces of wine = 1.5 ounces of liquor). The reason to limit alcohol intake is that alcohol can increase the risks of diabetes complications. What are these risks? Hypoglycemia – is when your blood glucose levels fall too low. Drinking alcohol can increase the chances of this happening, especially if you’re on insulin or certain types of medication. Why does this happen? Usually, when your blood glucose levels drop, your liver will convert the carbohydrates that it stored, into glucose – keeping your sugar levels stable and preventing hypoglycemia. When you have alcohol in your system, your liver’s priority is to remove the alcohol from your body. The presence of alcohol inhibits liver’s capacity of producing glucose, leading to hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia causes dizziness and disorientation, so it can make you seem like you are drunk. It is best always to carry an ID that says you are diabetic, to get the right treatment if such time comes. If you’re diabetic, and you drank alcohol, check your blood glucose level before you sleep. If it’s in the range of 100 to 140 mg/dL, you’re fine. If it’s lower than that, eat something. If you do drink alcohol, make sure to eat foods with carbohydrates to prevent hypoglycemia.

48. 9. Water? Drink Up! Do you know that thirst is one of the signs that show a person may have diabetes? A study performed on 3,615 women and men who had regular glucose levels at the beginning of that study, has shown that those individuals who drank more than 36 ounces of water on a daily basis had over 20% less risk of developing diabetes in the following 9 years, than those who drank only 16 ounces of water a day. Although further research on the connection with water and diabetes is required, this study suggests that drinking plenty of water can have a positive impact on blood sugar. Due to high blood glucose levels, diabetics are prone to dehydration. Water helps the kidneys remove extra glucose from the blood and makes it easier to manage blood sugar. Also, drinking water helps lower the risk of heart disease complications. When the body is dehydrated, the viscosity levels in the blood are increased, which makes it harder for the heart to pump blood throughout the body. When the body is dehydrated, fats and cholesterol are more likely to build up in blood vessels to form atherosclerotic plaques. Water lowers the blood viscosity and improves the health of the cardiovascular system. Do not let yourself dehydrate; aim for eight glasses of water a day. If you wait for the thirst to nudge you, know that you have already waited too long. If you live in a humid or hot area, you need more than eight glasses of water a day.

You can eat water-rich foods such as melons, cucumbers, celery, or soups during meal times or as a midday snack. This way, you will get nutrients and water all in one, a win-win scenario. Diabetes should avoid sugary drinks, such as regular sodas and fruit juices. Instead, choose beverages that have no added sugar, have low carbohydrates and with plenty of vitamins and minerals.
