DIABETES GUIDELINES
- Monitor blood sugar daily. Upon arising and 2 hours after each meal. Pre-meal readings should be 80-120, two hours post meal, readings should be 140 or less. Strive to achieve and maintain a glycohemoglobin [A1c reading] of 6 or less. Anything above 7 is an indication of poor blood sugar control. Have your glycohemoglobin tested every three months – insist on it.
- The three macro nutrients that we consume are: proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Out of these three, ONLY carbohydrates affect and increase your blood sugar. Protein eaten in excess can convert to glucose, while fat has NO effect on blood sugar.
- Greatly reduce or eliminate your intake of grains, bread, bagels, crackers, pasta, rice, sugar, milk, yogurt, corn, fruit, candy and chips. No more than one to two servings per day depending on blood sugar control.
- Do not drink any fruit juices, or eat any dried fruits.
- Limit your intake of fruit to no more than 1 per day depending on blood sugar readings. Uncontrolled diabetics should not consume any fruits. Fruits are carbohydrates and therefore will increase your blood sugar.
- Do not drink diet soda or use any artificial sweeteners such as Nutra Sweet®, Equal®, and Splenda® For a safe alternative natural sweetener that DOES NOT produce an insulin response, in other words it DOES NOT raise blood sugar levels, use STEVIA a natural sweetener that can be purchased at your local health food store. Another product to consider is Xylitol, which has been shown to prevent cavities, and ear infections in children. Xylitol makes an excellent sweeteners and can be used just like sugar.
- *Use only extra virgin olive oil for all your cooking, and condiments. For baking and frying, use unrefined coconut oil or palm oil, from reputable companies. Coconut oil is healthy and it actually promotes weight loss because the fatty acids found in coconut oil are known as MCTs [Medium Chain Triglycerides], which are not stored as fat, but are used for energy

Resveratrol increases insulin sensitivity
Lipoic Acid Supreme 60 vegetarian capsules
Lipoic Acid Supreme is a mixture of high dose lipoic acid, biotin, and taurine, which all support blood sugar and insulin balance. Lipoic acid increases the need for biotin by lowering levels of biotin dependent enzymes. Thus Lipoic Acid should always be taken with biotin. Lipoic Acid Supreme contains high dose lipoic acid, biotin, and taurine which all support blood sugar and insulin balance, making a great combination. Most importantly, it has been found to be an essential nutrient for diabetics to optimize the function of the insulin receptors.

Resveratrol
Baywood International, Inc. (OTCBB:BYWD) announced that resveratrol, an antioxidant found in red wine, may counter type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance, according to a new study.
Insulin is a hormone that controls blood sugar. Insulin resistance occurs when the body becomes less sensitive to insulin. This condition can lead to type 2 diabetes. Chinese scientists report that resveratrol curbs insulin resistance in mice. These scientists, including Cheng Sun and Qiwei Zhai of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Shanghai, indicate that this is a valuable new strategy for treating insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. However, to reach the same levels of resveratrol, it would require a significant consumption of red wine.
