8 Diabetes Prevention Ways

September 24th, 2008 Leave a comment Go to comments

To prevent diabetes, you have to control your blood sugar level. Here I list 8 effective ways to prevent diabetes for you.

1. Buy Glucose Monitor

Simply prick your finger 2 hours after a meal. The number shouldn’t be above 139 mg/dl, and it shouldn’t be below 100 or your fasting number — whichever is lower. It’ll allow you to find out how specific meals, foods, and beverages affect your blood sugar. If you fall out of that range, you need an oral glucose-tolerance test.

2. Eat Every 2 to 3 Hours

Eating this often helps prevent drops in blood sugar, which can lead to sugar binges.

3. Skip the Sugary Sports Drinks

Exercising improved insulin sensitivity by 40 percent when a 500-calorie deficit was created, but produced no improvement when the burned energy was immediately replaced with mostly carbohydrates.

4. Exercise Everyday

That means at least 20 to 30 minutes a day. It takes a only a few days of missed workouts and poor eating to worsen a person’s insulin resistance. To make sure you stick with it, choose the exercise that you enjoy the most not that the exercise you hate the most.

5. Check Your Pills

If you’re taking a thiazide diuretic for hypertension, ask your doctor about switching to an ACE inhibitor. A 2006 Hypertension review of 59 drug trials found a “strong relationship” between low potassium levels caused by diuretics and increased blood glucose.

6. If You Already Have High Blood Glucose, Take Alpha Lipoic Acid

This supplement is unexcelled as a blood-sugar nutrient and is a prescription item in Europe . Take 300 milligrams twice a day.

7. Snack on Pumpkin Seeds or Sunflower Seeds

A small handful won’t impact blood sugar, and they’re rich in magnesium, a mineral that fights insulin resistance.

8. Sprinkle Cinnamon ON Everything

Studies show it can improve insulin sensitivity. This means your body needs less of the hormone insulin to keep your blood-sugar levels in check.
