How To Lower Blood Sugar

The information contained in this single page is the holy grail for anyone suffering from high blood glucose related problems.
It is no exageration to say that the equivalent information in other circles, would be like giving a contestant on the "who wants to be a millionaire show" all the answers to the questions in advance.

I am a type 2 diabetic and it sickens me that this information it nowhere near as common place as it should be. I intend to do to my bit in the fight for the remedy and help as many people as possible for free.

This information can be used for all diabetics but as with the case of type 1 diabetics, the rules are different because of their continual need for insulin injections and the effects on exercise when no insulin is present in the system.

This article is largly aimed at type 2 diabetics but never the less......read on..

Where to start?
Simple, use every natural trick in the book and believe me brothers and sisters there are plenty!

I'll try to keep it as down to earth and straight forward as possible because I can waffle sometimes.
Okay, here we go, now you may feel a little despondent when you first read this, you may feel like "OH NO! I CANT DO THAT". What if I told you that this ins't a holiday camp that you can decide to take it easy on if you feel like it.

THIS IS A FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE PEOPLE!

If you don't get a grip on this now then in a few years, well. You'll certainly wish you had.

1.
Get as much exercise as possible in any form you can. Running, weight, deep breathing, swimming, cycling, pushups, squats, taking the stairs not the elevator. You get the idea.
You need to be cultivating the change in your life where, its is not the case of "when can I fit my exercise workout in today or tommorow?"
No! You want to be taking the attitude of, "what changes can I make every single day of my life that will ensure I get more exercise all day everyday!"
Carry the shopping home from the store, take the old lady's trash out next door, run for the bus, help your folks move the junk out of the garage.
It does not matter, anything and everything, it all counts but you want to know what the ultimate exercise is for your situation? One that you can implement on a large scale for a prolonged period without knocking the stuffing out of yourself? On that you will feel the positive effects for within minutes? WALKING!

No joke, I started walking to work, 4 miles each way, that might be a little much for some of you but seriously, walk as much as you can, and walk FAST AND HARD.
Dont take a pleasant stroll, really push yourself, the first few days you will ache the most but after that it'll be like nothing.
Do not underestimate the power of walking.
Walk to work, to the shops, up stairs, to your friend, miss an hour of tv and get outside. You can and will find time to walk.
Remember, this is a battle for your life.

2.
Carbohydrates Carbohydrates Carbohydrates!

There is only one thing you need to know about carbohydrates as a type 2 diabetic.
Poison!
Get this into your head right away - your body can and will function perfectly well without a constant supply of carbohydrate. It creates its own and stores then, then releases then in times of increase physical perfomance and stress. I wont go into the biochemical process but in case you want to know more, go to wikipedia and type in GLUCONEOGENESIS GLYCOGEN and GLYCOLYSIS and then spend a pleasant afternoon wading through pages and pages of biochemistry.
You need to learn what a carb is cause they are everywhere. It is too long of a list to start talking about them here so get on the search engines if in any doubt. Start reading the backs of all packs of food. Stay away from as much carb as humanly possible, try not to have more than about 30g a day and believe me that is a challenge. One moderate bowl of cereal and guess what? You've already blown it!
Fruit and fruit juice? no no no, but its got natural sugars in it? no no no. Rocket fuel for your blood. some fruit is very low in sugar, go and search it out, read the backs of the packs.
Raspberries are one of them. Bannanas and apples are not.
Sugar and carbs are in so much you need to arm yourself with the knowledge of what they are in.
Dont start the day with cereal, start it with an omlette, some greek yogurt and a handful of walnuts, flaxseed oil and cinnamon, some cheese and continental meats, just avoid the heavy carbs!!!!
Once you start your body on the cycle of burning carbs for the day it will pretty much crave them every few hours thereafter. Whereas, if you start with a protein breakfast or even no breakfast at all then you craving will be non existent. If you doubt this, try it for a few weeks, it'll take a couple of days to get the swing of things but trust me.

3.
Avoid the stimulants, when your body is jacked up on caffeine and the like, it basically kicks out more glucose because it thinks it is in a state of heightened activity or fight or flight. Hense the energy slumps will continual and more coffee and more carbs are the order of the day.
Its a vicious cycle that only results in more internal confusion. Trust me, knock out the caffeine. Drink plenty of water.

4.
Times of day for eating.
Basically, eat in the morning, eat midday, eat in the afternoon but you really dont want to be tucking a dinner away past 5 or 6 pm. I understand this puts a strain on things when it comes to socializing but remember, this is a fight for your life. If you do go out for dinner late at night, it goes without saying, that it should consist of virtually zero carbs, just to be on the safe side.

There you have it, hopefully something that can be of help to any type 2 diabetics out there, I know there are plenty of them.
