LIVING WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES Diabetes affects 1 in 17 people, equating to approximately 3.2 million people in the UK alone. Jane Michell, nutritionist, weight loss expert and author has some useful tips on how to manage this condition and live a healthy life If you are overweight you are at greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes, particularly if you have excess weight around your tummy. If left undiagnosed and unmanaged, diabetes can lead to severe conditions, including kidney failure and blindness. It can also make eating healthily and following a diet a real minefield if you don’t have help to stay on track and make wise food choices. Here are some really useful tips on how to manage your diabetes. OBESITY AND DIABETES Insulin (a hormone) usually functions to pull glucose (sugar in our food) from our blood vessels into our cells, giving them enough energy to function properly. Obesity is a major risk factor in type 2 diabetes because excess fat around the cells acts as a barrier, reducing the ability of insulin to pull glucose into the cells. The worrying result is high blood sugar readings. MANAGING DIABETES Although you may not experience any symptoms from having high blood sugar levels, it’s essential to manage your diet plan and weight consistently to avoid nasty health complications in the future. While diabetes is rarely reversible, by managing your sugar levels, you may delay the need to begin medication or insulin. Losing weight will not only allow you to better manage your diabetes, but will also improve your overall quality of life! KNOW YOUR NUTRIENTS Carbohydrates include foods like bread, cereal, pasta, rice, cakes, biscuits, potatoes and soft drinks, but also food and drinks including fruit, milk, yoghurt, chocolate, juice and ice cream. While really delicious and tasty, these foods and drinks will raise your blood sugar levels, so it’s essential to manage these foods effectively and not to overindulge. Protein rich foods, including meat, chicken, fish, tofu, seafood and eggs will not raise your blood sugar levels and will often keep you feeling much fuller for longer. Foods containing high levels of fat should be used sparingly, to avoid excess weight gain. These include oil, margarine, butter, coconut products, nuts and avocado. Foods you can eat freely include green vegetables, carrots, peppers, onion, garlic and berries. Try to add these foods to all meals. This will help bulk of your meals, without raising your sugar levels. HANDY TIPS • Become aware of foods containing carbohydrate • Eat regularly and don’t skip meals • Limit foods high in refined sugar like soft drinks, lollies, cakes, biscuits and chocolate • Choose low fat or reduced fat products and limit the amount of battered or deep fried foods • Engage in physical activity* *Always check with your doctor before starting any physical activity, especially if you are taking insulin • Switch to some high fibre foods, think bread with all the yummy seeds and wholegrains, whole fruit and vegetables, oatmeal and lentils. Avoid juices as you lose a lot of the fibre from their skin and gain lots of sugar Photograph: iStock 62

Eight scientists have drafted 10 statements about the effects of this powdered health food. Almased can do a lot more than just help people lose weight. This is the conclusion of eight German scientists who have looked into the effects of this health food. Together they have drafted the following statements. They confirm all core claims about Almased, from the breakdown of fat and retention of muscle mass to the beneficial impact upon hormone levels and blood pressure and therefore to reducing the risk of metabolic syndrome. 1. Almased contains pure soya protein, yogurt and raw honey. A special processing method preserves the essential amino acids in Almased. 2. Obesity is associated with a severely increased leptin level, which, in turn, is linked to insulin resistance and considered to be a cause of metabolic disorders, such as diabetes mellitus. Almased supports a healthy leptin level, thereby favourably influencing the risk factors. 4. The tissue hormone ghrelin, which is produced by stomach cells, is an indicator of the feeling of satiety. Almased supports ghrelin levels, thereby reducing appetite for long periods. 5. Almased has a positive effect on the body fat vs. lean tissue ratio. If combined with physical activity, it can significantly reduce fat deposits around the abdomen and hips. 6. In a weight loss programme, Almased helps to burn body fat without reducing muscle mass. 7. Weight loss achieved with Almased is helpful in changing nutritional behaviour and keeps the weight off long-term. 8. 50 g of Almased per day supports healthy blood parameters (e.g. blood sugar, HbA1c value). 9. A weight loss programme with Almased supports healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels. 10. A weight loss programme with Almased lowers both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Summary: Almased has a beneficial effect upon all components of metabolic syndrome. It is recommended that it be used for at least 6 weeks. To lose weight, Almased should be used as a meal substitute (1 to 2 x 50 g daily). Even just 50 g once a day brings about an improvement in metabolic biomarkers. For full scientific data relating to these statements, please contact us. 3. Almased supports healthy insulin levels, while stimulating fat reduction and inhibiting fat storage.
