Publisher's Synopsis
If you've been diagnosed with diabetes, it means stuffing unhealthy food down your throat, spending more than 10 hours a day in a sedentary position without getting enough exercise is common in your life. Unhealthy in this instance may mean if you're a woman with a waist circumference of more than 35 inches, and a man with a waist circumference of above 40 inches. Many health factors can contribute to the development of diabetes. However, carrying excess fat around the abdomen, meaning the fat is deep within the belly and around the abdomen, has been shown to be the biggest diabetes risk factor because this type of fat has been shown to instigate and escalate insulin resistance, imbalances, and deprivation in the body. Managing diabetes boils down to keeping your blood sugar levels within a normal or close to normal range. It is very important that as you set out to control and reverse diabetes, you consult your doctor or physician to determine your blood sugar level, and determine if your diabetes can be managed without the use of insulin. As a diabetic, your work is cut out for you: you have to keep your blood sugar levels within the level recommended by your GP. If your diabetes is not dietary manageable, it is very likely that your doctor will recommend insulin therapy, and a succinct diet and exercise regimen. Insulin therapy is the widely accepted clinical treatment for diabetes. Diet is the ultimate diabetes control and reversal mechanism because often times, a balanced diet, coupled with adequate exercise makes the body stronger and healthier in every way. You are what eat and what you eat dictates how you move and feel; everything we eat affects glucose and insulin levels in the blood. As such, by controlling the food you consume, you can control the amount of glucose present in your body at any given time. After a diabetes diagnosis, knowing what to do, which food to eat and which to avoid can be challenging. A diabetic diet can seem restrictive. In fact, at diagnosis, one can't help but experience a sense of loss after the realization that henceforth, you must be watchful of what you eat and how you treat your body in terms of exercising, maintaining proper weight and consuming a balanced diet high in diabetes reversal foods. Knowing how to structure your diabetic diet becomes easier when you figure out how fast or slow your body processes food into glucose: this is the number one principle to any good diabetic diet. After a diabetes diagnosis, we are often quick and eager to believe that being diabetic means complete denial of the foods we enjoy and savor. That is not completely true. Although most diabetics are often advised to eliminate sugary foods and closely monitor carbohydrates intake, diabetics are free to indulge in a sweet desert once in awhile as long as it does not compromise the symbiotic, insulin and glucose balance relationship in the body.
