Blood Sugar

The most important thing you can do to regulate your blood sugar is to watch what you eat. And to do that, you need to understand two concepts: the glycemic index, and glycemic load. While you can find information online, The New Glucose Revolution, by Jennie Brand-Miller, should is still essential reading. A lot of authors are writing on the subject, but Professor Miller is the University of Sidney (Australia) researcher who developed much of the glycemic index, and her book is well-researched, authoritative, and easy to read. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course some of us have medical problems which make it difficult to control blood sugar purely through diet.

Type I (juvenile-onset) diabetes strikes in childhood, when our own immune systems get confused and attacks the insulin-producing cells of our pancreas. Although the autoimmunity passes, our capacity to produce healthy levels of insulin never recovers. It's tough to control type I diabetes with natural medicine. Mostly what people do is watch their diet, use their insulin, and take supplements that protect against high blood sugar (without always effecting sugar levels themselves).

Type II (adult-onset) diabetes, on the other hand, is a disease that develops slowly, later in life. Here, we can produce insulin just fine. Instead, the problem arises after years and even decades of chronic high blood sugar (due to poor eating habits) results in years and even decades of high insulin levels. Our cells end up flooded with insulin 24/7. Eventually, they start to ignore insulin, a state called insulin-resistance. Insulin resistance is tied to an increased risk of heart disease and obesity, especially belly fat. There are a lot of supplements which can help with insulin-resistance.
