Type 1 Diabetes

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which a person’s pancreas stops producing insulin, meaning no insulin is produced. This is quite commonly detected in children, although it has been known for people to discover Type 1 diabetes during adulthood. It is suggested that Type 1 is not caused by diet or lifestyle.

Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 Diabetes (a.k.a. diabetes mellitus) is the most common with almost 90% of the US population with diabetes suffering from Type 2. In Type 2 diabetes, the body doesn’t make enough insulin, or the insulin it makes does not work effectively, meaning glucose builds up in the blood.

Up to 58% of Type 2 diabetes cases can be delayed or prevented through a healthy lifestyle.

What Food To Avoid That Worsen Diabetes?

There are some foods you really need to stay away from as much as possible. These are:

Supplements That Help Reverse Type 2 Diabetes

Adding the right supplements into your daily routine can also have a dramatic improvement on your health. Try these to help manage your diabetes successfully:

  • Vitamin D

Taking vitamin D daily can help control your blood. It is worth checking your levels with your doctor, but all too often our levels are too low. And being a supplement that is so key to manage your blood sugar (improvement of up to 16%) it is definitely worth adding to your daily diet. Take first thing with your breakfast to help you throughout the day.

  • Magnesium

Most people with diabetes have low levels of magnesium. However, before running to the pharmacy to purchase your supplements, you NEED to check with your doctor! Too low levels of magnesium can affect people with diabetes.

However, too high levels is dangerous to everybody! The likelihood is, if you are diabetic, your levels will be low. Once you get this checked out, your doctor will prescribe you the recommended dose for your levels. Get this checked out as soon as you can!

  • Chromium Picolinate

Studies show that taking chromium picolinate (a chemical compound that contains chromium) orally, either alone or together with biotin, can help lower fasting blood sugar, lower insulin levels, and help insulin work in people with type 2 diabetes.

Good Eating Habits That Help Reduce Sugar Spike

  • Breakfast Habits

The most important meal of the day is breakfast. Eat food that is rich in fiber and proteins. Avoid fat and oils at breakfast. Eat a healthy breakfast which will help you have a stable body all day along.

  • Lunch Habits

Do not intake too much food at one go. If at all possible, split lunch into 3 servings. One at 11:00 one at 12:30 and one at 14:00 for example. This is not always possible but by eating little and often, it will help regulate insulin levels and also stops you from feeling hungry.

  • Dinner Habits

Do not eat too late in the evening, ideally at least 3 hours before you go to bed. This allows the food to digest beforehand. Again, avoid eating a large meal if possible to maintain insulin levels. Eat more vegetables for dinner, instead of meat.

  • Drinking Habits

Avoid alcohol, boxed juice and carbonated drinks. Water is very important to stay hydrated and to heal your body. Learn how much water you need to drink daily.

Doing a juice feast with green vegetables juices is a great way to lower your sugar and reverse diabetes.
