Glycemic Index This is the definitive table for both the glycemic index and the glycemic load. I am able to reproduce it here courtesy of the author, Professor Jennie Brand-Miller of the University of Sydney. It is based on a table in different format but no more foods published December 2008 in Diabetes Care. However, only the abstract is free online there. GI of 55 is low; GL of 10 is low. This table includes the glycemic index and glycemic load of more than 2,480 individual food items. The glycemic index (GI) is a numerical system of measuring how much of a rise in circulating blood sugar a carbohydrate triggers–the higher the number, the greater the blood sugar response. The glycemic load (GL) is a relatively new way to assess the impact of carbohydrate consumption that takes the glycemic index into account, but gives a fuller picture than does glycemic index alone. Foods that have a low GL almost always have a low GI. Both GI and GL are listed here. Glycemic Index & Glycemic Load Rating Chart
Is a high-carb diet ‘poison’ to diabetics? From The Times London, UK 17 July, 2012 Is a high-carb diet ‘poison’ to diabetics? John Naish The NHS teaches that carbs are a key part of a balanced diet. But shunning them might help patients reduce insulin injections When Martin Milton, 46, moved from London to New York last year, he saw an American doctor to get a fresh supply of insulin for his diabetes. The surprising fact is that Milton’s food regime had been taught to him on an NHS course. For healthy people with everyday food habits, the difference might sound like diet-faddism. Finding the right diet may help to contain Britain’s fast-growing diabetes epidemic. However, he never managed to control his blood-sugar levels consistently. Then, five years ago, specialists at St Thomas’ Hospital, London, invited him to a week-long NHS-funded diet course conducted by the diabetes patient education programme Dafne (Dose Adjustment for Normal Eating). “I was told that I could eat what I wanted, so long as I counted the carbs on my plate.

Think skinny people don’t get type 2 diabetes? Think again. In the last article we discussed the complex relationship between body weight and type 2 diabetes (T2DM). We learned that although obesity is strongly associated with T2DM, a subset of “metabolically healthy obese” (MHO) people have normal blood sugar and insulin sensitivity and don’t ever develop diabetes. In this article we’re going to talk about the mirror reflection of the MHO: the “metabolically unhealthy nonobese” (MUN). These are lean people with either full-fledged type 2 diabetes or some metabolic dysfunction, such as insulin resistance. You might even be surprised to learn that skinny people can and do get T2DM. Remember that one in three type 2 diabetics are undiagnosed. It’s well-known that high blood sugar can precede the development of T2DM for as long as ten years. It’s also important to understand that diabetes is not a disease. What causes high blood sugar and T2DM in lean people? GeneticsFatty liverInflammationAutoimmunityStress Let’s discuss each of them in turn. Genetics
WebMD Diabetes Center Type 2 Diabetes Overview Type 2 diabetes, once called non-insulin-dependent diabetes, is the most common form of diabetes, affecting 90% to 95% of the 26 million Americans with diabetes. What Is Type 2 Diabetes? Unlike people with type 1 diabetes, the bodies of people with type 2 diabetes make insulin. Carbohydrate Counting 101 | Joslin Diabetes Center There are several different ways people with diabetes can manage their food intake to keep their blood glucose (sugar) within their target range and one such method is 'carbohydrate counting'. Carbohydrate, or carb counting is a method of calculating grams of carbohydrate consumed at meals and snacks. Foods that contain carb have the greatest effect on blood glucose compared to foods that contain protein or fat. Before starting any new treatment or meal plan, you should always consult with your diabetes care professional. What are the benefits of counting carbs? · Counting carbohydrates is a good solution for many people with diabetes. · Another benefit of counting carbohydrates is that it can bring tighter control over your glucose readings. · Lastly, if you take mealtime insulin, counting carbohydrates allows you to decide how much carb you want to eat at a meal, rather than having to eat a certain amount of carbohydrates, even if you do not want to. Who can use carbohydrate counting?

Glu : Our Journey with the Low Carb Diet and the (Manual) Artificial Pancreas My son, David, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in March 2013. In full-blown DKA, we spent several days in the hospital recovering and learning as much as we could about diabetes—something about which my wife and I knew absolutely nothing. After this very brief introduction, our pediatric endocrinologist told us that while for most patients he recommended a blood sugar between 100 and 180, he thought we might be able to achieve a target of between 100 and 150…hope! We returned home with our emaciated (he had lost 12 of his 65 pounds to DKA) son, prescriptions for insulin, a glucose meter, and a standard American Diabetes Association carbohydrate counting meal plan. I took time off from work those first few weeks and tried to get a handle on this new diagnosis and care for my son. A typical day: we would test, bolus, eat the recommended meal from the meal plan, retest an hour later, and so on. Thirty days following Dave’s diagnosis, we purchased Dr. Meals. 1. 2. 3. — by Dr.

Chicken Saute With Creamy Mushroom & Leek Sauce Here is one simple technique that guarantees juicy results every time. First, pound the chicken: making it thinner ensures quick and even cooking. Next, dredge the chicken lightly in seasoned flour, which helps it turn deep golden brown when sauteed. After the chicken is cooked, deglaze the skillet with broth, wine or a little water to make a pan sauce. The liquid loosens the flavor-boosting browned bits from the bottom of the pan, making a tastier sauce. photographer: Ken Burris Servings Per serving Calories Carbohydrates 11g Fat 9g Saturated Fat 3g Monounsaturated Fat 4g Protein 26g Cholesterol 70mg Dietary Fiber 1g Potassium 576mg Sodium 417mg Added Sugars 0g Exchanges 1 1/2 vegetable 3 lean meat 1 fat Carbohydrate Servings Nutrition bonus Potassium (16% daily value) In partnership with EATINGWELL® is a registered trademark of EatingWell, Inc.
