SIMPLE RULES TO BEAT DIABETES
People with diabetes have been advised to follow a set of golden rules

A FEW easy-to-follow rules could help to slash Britain’s “alarming” death toll from diabetes, experts said last night.
The key advice was for patients to learn how to look after themselves better and to ensure they received basic health checks. A wide-ranging report revealed that 24,000 diabetes sufferers are currently dying unnecessarily in the UK each year.
Yet most of these early deaths could be avoided if sufferers got regular NHS check-ups, ate healthy foods, cut down on alcohol and took more exercise.
They also needed to understand the importance of medication and how best to take it.
Reacting to the report, Diabetes UK said: “These figures are incredibly alarming as there is no reason why people with diabetes cannot live long and healthy lives if they receive the right care and support to help them manage their condition.”
The charity echoed the need for sufferers to follow a healthy diet – rich in fruit and vegetables, but low in sugar, salt and fat – and to keep fit through exercise.

Care Services minister Paul Burstow called the high death toll from diabetes “unacceptable” but insisted it could be dramatically cut if patients got “the right care at the right time”. The report by the National Diabetes Audit for England said sufferers needed to be “educated” on how to better look after their condition.
This would help cut the risk of them having dangerously high or low blood sugar levels. The study’s lead clinician Dr Bob Young said: “For the first time we have a reliable measure of the huge impact of diabetes on early death. Many of these early deaths could be prevented. The rate of new diabetes is increasing every year.
“So, if there are no changes, the impact of diabetes on national mortality will increase. SEARCH UK NEWS for:
“Doctors, nurses and the NHS working in partnership with people who have diabetes should be able to improve these grim statistics.”
Diabetes can lead to kidney failure and strokes or other complications leading to limb amputations and blindness.
Type 2 diabetes affects 2.5 million people in Britain and unhealthy lifestyles are set to send the numbers soaring.
It differs from Type 1 diabetes – which usually develops before the age of 40 and requires sufferers to take insulin injections – in that it can be prevented.
Up to a million people may already have Type 2 without knowing it.
There are nine NHS checks recommended by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence.
These include those involving blood sugar control, cholesterol, blood pressure, measurements of weight, smoking status, eye and foot examinations for possible diabetic complications, and analysis of blood glucose and urine.
The new report found that only about half of people (53 per cent) with Type 2 diabetes and less than a third (32 per cent) with Type 1 diabetes receive all nine checks.
It also found that women with diabetes are worst at looking after themselves and managing their condition.
Up to 75,000 diabetics die in England every year – accounting for about 15 per cent of all deaths in this country.
However, 24,000 of these are believed to be preventable. Three-quarters of these unnecessary deaths are among the over-65s.
Among under-65s with diabetes, those from deprived backgrounds are twice as likely to die as those from more affluent areas.
Death rates among younger sufferers have also rung alarm bells among the experts.
Earlier this year the National Diabetes Audit found almost 450,000 children and younger adults with diabetes have high-risk blood sugar levels that could lead to severe complications.
Diabetes UK recommends a healthy, balanced diet and 30 minutes of exercise at least five times a week.
Barbara Young, the charity’s chief executive, said: “Self-management is very important, but it is also vital that people with diabetes receive the care they need to help them manage their condition in the first place.”
Care Services minister Paul Burstow said: “Armed with the results of this audit, I expect the NHS to learn from the best.
“It’s not rocket science – integrated health care can help people manage their diabetes, stay well and out of hospital.”

A regime of raw, organically-grown plant foods for 7 to 10 days usually reverses type 2 : claims have been made for type 1, also.
Dont bother telling the "Dept of Health" : their links with the junk food/pharma mafia are , apparently, unbreakable.

Well the rules ARE simple: cut out grains and sugars and your body will sort itself out (as it has evolved to do over million of years).

Hardly 'simple rules'! The blood sugar control, cholesterol, blood pressure, measurements of weight, smoking status, eye and foot examinations for possible diabetic complications, and analysis of blood glucose and urine all need expert attention. Why can't they give out something useful that the average person can check/messure/investigate on a regular basis?

LOW NIN SUGAR AND FAT
14.12.11, 2:57am
say the Medics.
Thats not true.
All sugars and syrups especially high fructose corn syrup must be zero.Fruit should be no more than 3 pieces a day. Grains should only be whole, preferrably fermented, (sour dough rye, brown rice soaked ibvernigh), and in very small amounts only. Healthgiving high saturated fat foods must NOT be reduced. That is the repeatable science, whether your doc. likes it or not.
Sugars, syrups and fruit over extend the insulin producing cells in the pancreas, leading to their failure. Much worse is that any more than 25 grams of fructose daily from any of these sources, (sugar is 50% fructose), raises uric acid levels. these in turn cause diabetes2, fatty liver and obesity. Obesity releases leptin hormones, that worsening diabetes2 risk9!!. High uric acid levels also can cause kidney failure and arterial narrowing. Johnson R Dr. U of CO, USA, 2011.
Grains contain lectin plant phenols that decrease sensitivity to insulin on the cell membranes, causing insulin overproduction, raising diabetes risk. Mercola R, Dr. 2008.
Grains also contain leptin plant hormones,with the same effects as mentioned above, This is due to the leptins interruption of signalling between the pancreas and liver, causing insulin disruptions. Mercola R, Dr , 2009.
High saturated fat foods are healthgiving, and cause neither diabetes, nor arterial narrowing, nor obesity.
Cream, butter and full fat: milk, yoghurt cheeses, contain the omegas in perfect proportion, arichidonic acid, short and medium chain fatty acids, and conjugated linoleic acids Also present are selenium, iodine, manganese, zinc, chromium, lecithin and vitamins D3, A, B2 and B12.
Cream, (and butter etc.), synthesise vitamin B6 through the friendly intestinal bacteria. B6 lowers heart disease-causing homocysteine. Malhotra S L Dr et al Lancet 1975.
Note. that plant-based omega-3 fats do not provide the same benefits as animal-based, because most of us can’t convert the ALA, alpha linolenic acid, in plant-based fats to the appropriate amount of DHA, docosahexaenoic acid, that is required.
Egg yolks contain selenium and l-cysteine, vitamin D3, A, and the B complex, powerful anti-oxidants that lower heart disease-causing lipo-protein alpha. Cayley and Hammond. Drs. Am. Canc. Soc. 1979.

If you have read between the lines you will have noticed that the medics. are misinforming you on diabetes, and omitting info. that will cure most diabetics, especially the 2s!
False advice is given to diabetics telling them to keep consuming sugar.and much fruit, with NO advice on grains, nor on fructose limits; and false advice on sat. fats. All this results in the diabetic having to rely on lifelong injected insulin and constant checkups. Plus a shortened life with major complications on the horizon..
This No Cure situation, is only to the benefit, of drug companies and docs, and NOT to the diabetics.
Intelligent open minded people will get out of this misinfo box, and in most cases, when the opposite is done, there is a cure.
