You Are Not Doomed To A Life Of High Blood Sugars And Diabetic Complications

The good news is that there is a way to keep diabetes in check by controlling your diet.  As a matter of fact, the first step towards regulating your blood sugar levels is through making wise dietary choices.

According to a study by The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT), keeping blood sugar levels to normal (intensive blood glucose control) lowers the risk of kidney disease by 50 percent, nerve disease by 60 percent, and eye disease by 76 percent.  Another study done by Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (EDIC) found that glucose control lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease by 42 percent and heart attack and stroke are reduced by 57 percent.

The information below is relevant whether your diagnosis is pre-diabetes, type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, or latent autoimmune diabetes of the adult.  Read on to learn how to manage diabetes naturally:

Here’s The Plan! You’re Going To Do 4 Things….

Eliminate processed and refined foods from your diet, such as flours, sugar, and trans-fat
Limit your consumption of grains to a serving per week (opt for non-gluten whole grains like buckwheat and quinoa)
Limit starchy veggies like corn and potatoes to one or two meals a week
Eliminate dairy or swap it for goat`s and sheep` s milk products.
Remove processed meats like bologna, which are packed with detrimental preservatives
If you tolerate dairy and want to keep consuming it, reduce it to homemade cream, cheeses, and yogurt
Replace Them With Other Foods

Eat as much whole foods as possible! Veggies like leafy greens and broccoli should make about 70 percent of your diet
Low glycemic fruits like pears, apples, citrus, and berries are the best! Limit the consumption of high-sugar fruits like bananas and mangos
Healthy fats like nuts, olives, seeds, coconut products, grass-fed animal meats, olive oil, avocados, walnut oil, and ghee. At each meal, you need about the size of a thumb
High-quality protein like fish, chia, nuts, peas, bee pollen, algae, sprulina, organic muscle meats, and organic eggs. When it comes to protein, you need about the size of your palm at each meal
When baking, use nut flours or coconut flour
Natural sweeteners like maple syrup, dates and honey
