diabetorati: Plastic(BPA)-diabetes association needs more study, author

diabetorati.com — “News of the first study associating BPA and diabetes in humans has erupted all over the globe and much of it with worrying headlines e.g. BPA health scare gets more serious. While reading a US News report I was struck by the words of David Melzer the coauthor of the study that eating too many calories and saturated fats may be the cause of diabetes. My own analysis is that there are five key reasons why the study is important. But Melzer's comment makes me ponder the deep statistical validatioView full resource at diabetorati.com

diabetorati: When contradictory research can lead diabetics astray

diabetorati.com — “When we read that ginseng can help control blood sugar it looks like good news - easy to understand and easy to go out and buy some ginseng. Not so simple! The same researchers who were most prominent in publishing the results of the benefits of ginseng for diabetics did further work which surprsingly showed that their results were specific to a species of ginseng. American ginseng produced the good results, but Asian ginseng actually produced opposite and worse results than no dose.View full resource at diabetorati.com

diabetorati: Regularity of exercise, not fitness, brings good diabetic results

diabetorati.com — “A couple of studies have recently shown that one bout of exercise can produce positive benefits for diabetics. The good news from this is that you can start easily and get a result instantly. The bad news is that when you stop exercising, *perhaps* no matter how fit you are, some of the benefits will stop. (They have not actually studied fitness versus benefits so its not a straight forward conclusion.)View full resource at diabetorati.com

diabetorati: More is not better, alcohol consumption and diabetes risk

diabetorati.com — “In a large study researchers statistically eliminated many of the factors that may have led to diabetes, including body mass index, smoking, physical activity, and a family history of diabetes. Further adjustment for dietary factors, including glycemic load, trans-fatty acid, polyunsaturated fat, and total fiber intake, did not appreciably alter their findings. It was reported that the lower risk association with diabetes for light to moderate drinking was most apparent in women who reported wiView full resource at diabetorati.com

And apple and cinnamon go quite well together !! So how do we turn all that into something useful for us diabetics - how about B for Breakfast. Here's the ABCD: - A = apples, grated through the intact skin - try a Fuji; - B = breakfast, something like organic or cold rolled oats soaked overnight; - C = real cinnamon sprinkleView full resource at diabetorati.com

diabetorati: Peeling away the benefits of apples for diabetics

diabetorati.com — “Don't peel that apple ! What I really had no idea about before is that apple peels contain a majority of the antioxidants as compared to the flesh. Recent work has shown that apple peels contain anywhere from two to six times (depending on the variety) more phenolic compounds than in the flesh, and two to three times more flavonoids in the peels when compared to the flesh. IT appears that apples may play a large role in reducing the risk of a wide variety of chronic disease and maintaining a hView full resource at diabetorati.com

diabetorati: Type 2 diabetes risk reduced by moderate alcohol consumption, in women

diabetorati.com — “Moderate alcohol consumption was associated with lower risk of type 2 diabetes. "Moderate" was defined as 12.5 g of alcohol content/day - equivalent to about 1 drink. Compared to the diabetics the non-diabetics drank more alcohol, more coffee, had lower Body Mass Indices on average, were more active, and were without a family history of diabetes. Adiponectin "appeared to be a mediator of this association". An independent study suggests that decreased levels of adiponectin View full resource at diabetorati.com

diabetorati: Alarming rise - children with Type 2 diabetes, how do parents cope?

diabetorati.com — “The trends world-wide are for children with Type 2 diabetes to outnumber those with Type 1 within a decade. That's an amazing trend, based upon growth rates in Type 2 among 18-year olds and younger, of around 50% in many places. It's one thing to be told as an adult that you have diabetes, that's frightening. It's altogether another as a parent to to be told your child has it, and that's what's happening in ever increasing numbers with respect to Type 2. It's all overwhelming, and its also easy View full resource at diabetorati.com
