One large egg contains about half a gram of carbohydrates, so it’s thought that they aren’t going to raise your blood sugar but one large egg contains nearly 200 mg of cholesterol. High levels of cholesterol in the bloodstream also raise the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. So monitor your cholesterol levels because diabetes is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. that means if you cholesterol level is maintained it is okay to take eggs but avoid taking it daily to avoid any risk  and about coffee,  I love coffee. Tastes so good and make me feel good. Caffeine is the most popular psychoactive drug in the world. And the way most people get it is through coffee. When you drink the coffee, the caffeine actually hijacks your brain. There are receptors in your brain meant for a chemical called Adenosine. And adenosine is what actually makes you feel tired, but when you drink caffeine, the caffeine takes control of those receptors and doesn’t leave any room...

Type 1 and type 2 diabetes are two different diseases. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that prevents the pancreas from producing adequate amounts of insulin to maintain normal blood sugar levels. This form of diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and young adults. The exact cause is unknown but genetics and environmental factors may play a role in this disease. Like type 1 diabetes, the exact cause of type 2 diabetes is hard to pinpoint, but it is likely that genetics and lifestyle play a role in the development of insulin resistance which ultimately can lead to type 2 diabetes when left untreated. When someone has insulin resistance their body’s cells struggle to respond to the effects of a “normal” amount of insulin. The job of insulin is to reduce glucose, so when the body doesn’t respond to insulin, it eventually causes high blood sugar. However, first, the pancreas tries to fix the high blood sugar by producing even more insulin. Prolonged increases in insulin c...

Here are the advancements in the treatments of diabetes: 1. Brand new beta cells. Type 1 diabetes develops when a person's immune system wipes out insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. But it turns out that another type of immature beta cell has been hiding in our pancreases all along, and scientists think it might be possible to use these 'virgin beta cells' to restore the functionality of the pancreas. 2. A preventative vaccine. Finnish researchers are about to embark on the first-ever clinical trial for a type 1 diabetes prevention vaccine. While it's not a cure for those who already have the condition, a successful vaccine could potentially prevent thousands of cases each year, as the vaccine targets a virus linked with the development of an autoimmune reaction in the pancreas. 3. A unique transplant. One woman with severe type 1 diabetes has spent a year without insulin injections thanks to an experimental transplant. Doctors implanted insulin...

My family has always had a history of diabetes, going as far back as I can remember. So even though I'd never been diagnosed with it, it was always a constant worry for me. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a serious problem. I went through a rough patch in my life. My mom passed away, and it really hit me hard. I sank into depression for a while, and it ended up seriously affecting my lifestyle. I stopped working out, and began to use food as a coping mechanism. My weight increased rapidly, and before I knew it my doctor was telling me that I was pre-diabetic. I realized that if I didn't do something quickly, I'd end up in a really bad place. My first steps to pulling myself out of the hole I'd ended up in were to radically change my diet and exercise routine. I didn't need a doctor to tell me how to eat well or what workouts to do, as I just started doing what I'd done before. But that wasn't enough. I wanted to be sure that I'd be okay, so I st...

This article was originally shared by www.theictm.org The Possibility of Diabetes Natural Remedies Did you know that diabetes is much about a debilitating and potentially deadly disease. This disease can run rampant through our diabetic body, eventually thrashing our blood vessels in our limbs, until it practically cut off the circulation to our legs. The doctor often make it clear that if they don't amputate, our legs would rot like spoiled meat. We don’t want you or any of us to go through the same horrifying experience that had happened to so many diabetics already. But now, let us do some research homework. From my quick research, I’ve uncovered some eye-opening information — even more shocking facts. But I have also found some promising hope for folks like me, folks who have diabetes like me. I had been diagnosed in year 2012 as type 2 diabetic. Now, a lot of people who act like I did when I got diagnosed with diabetes. We like to let the statistics go in one ear,...
