C-PEPTIDE TEST
2008-07-02 15:53:03
The best way to measure how much insulin you are making in your own body is with a C-Peptide test. Your body, when it makes insulin, makes it attached to a C-peptide molecule. Then, that molecule combination of C-peptide and insulin breaks down, and the body uses the insulin. So, when you take a C-peptide test, it measures how much insulin your body is making on its own.This is a great test to


THOSE PESKY BLADDER INFECTIONS
2008-07-23 17:39:53
For whatever reason, diabetics are prone to bladder infections. Most of these do not require antibiotics, if you use a supplement called D-MANNOSE. D-mannose is a polysaccharide that tells the e-coli, which is causing the infection, to attach to the D-mannose, and wash right out of the bladder. D-mannose, in combination with CYSTEX, will get most bladder infections taken care of without the use of


WHAT ABOUT SOURDOUGH?
2008-07-17 21:21:49
Bread is the staff of life, and the fastest path to injected insulin as well. But there are several types of bread that we can work with, especially if we always eat protein with the bread, or have a whey protein drink. All the protein slows down the entry of glucose from the bread.Ah, but all bread is not created equal. Sourdough bread has a glycemic index of about 55, really not to bad for a


WHICH PROTEIN BAR?
2008-08-10 14:50:53
As you may have figured out from my history, I am a fan of the phrase "Food composition equals body composition." The ratio of fats to protein to carbs in our food is what determines our muscle to fat ratio. Since it is muscle that burns calories, we want food that builds muscle and loses fat.Protein bars can fit this description, but you have to look carefully to see what the composition of the

WHICH OMEGA 3'S??
2008-08-05 07:01:05
I have explained in an earlier post that Omega 3 fats are absolutely critical for diabetics. But there are several kinds of Omega 3's, which is best?Fish oil, which is abundant in Omega 3's, is the most desirable kind. Your body does not need to modify the chains in it, and it can be used immediately by the body. It fights inflammation, and in general, is the best form. But some diabetics expe

WHY THE DIET WORKS
2008-09-02 06:38:20
A lot of you have asked why this diet works so well to quell hunger, gain muscle, and manage blood glucose. Let's take a look at it from the perspective of your body.1. Just in time food. Never eat more than 250 calories at a time for a female, 300 calories for a male, UNLESS YOU ARE EXERCISING. Add a protein bar previous to exercise for each half hour of real exercise. This keeps the insulin loa


FOOD CONSISTENCY LETS YOU JUDGE SUPPLEMENT EFFECTIVENESS
2008-08-26 13:37:55
Some of you have asked how I can tell which supplements work effectively to reduce blood sugar. It is easy, really. I just logged all my food and kept my target numbers for fat, protein, and carbs CONSISTENT. For an entire year, I hit my target numbers (for someone my size) of 25gm fat plus 6 gm omega 3's, 100gm carbs and 100gm protein on a daily basis. Against this background, I introduced th
