2012-05-19 Diet more effective than exercise for cutting health risks in pregnancy - Health News - News - WalesOnline

Sioned Quirke, a specialist dietitian in South Wales, said: and ldquo;One of the most important things during pregnancy is to keep your weight down. High blood pressure or pre eclampsia can affect the baby, and we are seeing more cases of gestational diabetes, caused by being overweight when pregnant. If you develop that while pregnant you are much more likely to become a Type 2 diabetic after the birth. People who develop this may have bigger babies and they may have to be induced before the baby is due.

2012-05-16 Diabetes in Children

This same diet is advocated for diabetic children, making it impossible to control their blood sugar, even with industrial doses of insulin and certainly not with oral hypoglycemic agents.

It is the irrational fear of dietary fat that has spawned the high-carbohydrate food industry that didn and rsquo;t exist when I was a child. In my 29 years of treating Type 2 diabetes, normal blood sugars, weight loss and even reversal of the disease have been possible only with very low carbohydrate diets.

2012-05-15 I really didn1t like being a diabetic1 Nutritionalist weighs in on new dietary guidelines Bermuda Island Life

UBecoming a diabetic was a real adjustment for me, I really didn1t like being a diabetic. But I was able to keep it under control with medication initially but now I1ve been able to control it without medication since I1m vegan which is even more strict than a vegetarian. My last report is the best it1s ever been so I1ve done better on a vegan diet than with medication. 1

The dietary guidelines looks at each food group and our eating habits and what we need to change in order to see change,1 said Mrs Furbert who recently won a CMO Public Health award for her work as a health practitioner. 1The main thing is it has to be simplistic enough for children to understand but meaningful enough to educate the public about prevention, repair and maintenance of chronic diseases.

Nutritionist Mellonie Furbert is a good example that even living on a strict diet doesnt guarantee a life without health challenges. A vegetarian since her teens and a vegan for the last two years, Mrs Furbert was diagnosed with diabetes a decade ago, brought on by stress. Genetic predisposition played a part too, but with an even stricter diet and exercise, she now has it under - Health

2012-05-13 High-fat diet cut blood sugar levels,improve blood lipids in diabetics

In the low-carbohydrate diet, 50 percent of the energy came from fat, 20 percent from carbohydrates, and 30 percent from protein. For the low-fat group the distribution was 30 percent from fat, 55-60 percent from carbohydrates, and 10-15 percent from protein, which corresponds to the diet recommended by the Swedish National Food Agency.

The finding from the Linkoping University comes as a surprise as diabetic patients are usually advised to keep a low-fat diet.

Despite the increased fat intake with a larger portion of saturated fatty acids, their lipoproteins did not get worse. Quite the contrary the HDL, or good cholesterol, content increased on the high fat diet.

2012-05-09 New Push to Treat (the Other) Diabetes

While the exact cause of Type 1 diabetes isnt known, researchers are finding that a combination of hereditary and environmental factors can trigger it, including about 50 genes linked to the disease. In one study in the U. S. and Europe, half a million newborns have been screened for genetic risk, and more than 8,000 children at the highest risk are being followed to determine if diet and exposure to infectious agents like viruses could be a factor in its development. For reasons that arent clear, the disease is increasing at its fastest rate in children under age 5.

There is currently no way to prevent or cure Type 1 diabetes, a disease that has been hitting a growing number of children and adults. So, researchers and public-health officials are pushing more people to get tested to detect the illness early, which can reduce some of its dangerous effects.

I spend a lot of my time explaining the perils of excess sugar to my patients and so this week I decided to practice what I preach. I completely banned myself from eating any sugar during my working day. How hard could it be It was going well on Monday until one of my morning patients bought me a Twix bar. It sat on my desk goading me for at least 3 patients but then temptation got the better of me. The shiny gold wrapper poked out of the bin mocking my poor will power for the rest of the morning. The afternoon was going well until our nurse brought in some home baked chocolate brownies to celebrate her birthday. It seemed rude not try one and they looked so much more appetising than the pot of sunflower seeds I had optimistically brought in to stave off that predictable mid-afternoon sugar craving.

According to recent research about to be published, Type 2 diabetes treatment will use 16. 9bn of the NHS budget as the number of diabetics rises from 3. 8 million to 6. 25 million by 2035. This has fueled scaremongering media reports with talk of diabetes bankrupting the NHS within a generation. - Diabetes health nhs sugar editors choice notebook - a selection of independent views - opinion

2012-05-04 High fructose intake may up risk of liver disease in obese and diabetics

The current study evaluated adults enrolled in the NIH-sponsored Look Ahead Fatty Liver Disease Ancillary Study headed by senior author Jeanne M. Clark, M. D. , MPH, at Johns Hopkins University. The researchers analyzed dietary questionnaires collected in patients who underwent a magnetic resonance imaging to measure liver fat as well as an intravenous fructose challenge to evaluate the livers ATP stores and response to ATP depletion.

The fact we found a difference in liver ATP stores at lower levels of dietary fructose intake does suggest that higher fructose consumption (as would occur with the consumption of processed food and sweetened beverages) could deplete the liver of energy and thus risk causing worse metabolic problems and potentially even liver injury," Abdelmalek said.

About 5 to 10 percent of diabetics are type 1, which used to be called juvenile diabetes because it usually arrives in school-age children. With type 1, the pancreas stops making insulin, which breaks down sugars in foods, so insulin must be administered through a syringe, a pen-like device with a needle and cartridge holding the insulin or a pump. Diet and blood glucose must be monitored through the day. There are guesses, but no known cause.
