Sugar-free recipes
are great for just about every type of diet on the planet, including the
American Heart Association, Weight
Watchers, Low Fat, and even the currently popular Atkins, South Beach and other low carb diets. Following a
'no sugar' or 'low sugar' diet can greatly improve your overall health (especially if you're addicted to
sugar and eating way too much of it), and this includes sodas and even one of our favorite
beverages, Sweet Tea! View

Type 2 Diabetes
(High Blood Sugar)
Type 2 Diabetes is
a metabolic disorder and the most common form of Diabetes (90% or more of the
people who have Diabetes have Type 2), which means the body is not processing
insulin effectively. Fatigue and not being able to think clearly
(especially after consuming a lot of sugar, fat or carbs) are two of the most
common symptoms that could mean your body may be becoming insulin resistant.
If you are at
risk for, or already have high blood sugar (Prediabetes) or Type 2 Diabetes, monitoring your blood sugar with a glucose monitor every
morning and an hour after each meal (or as directed by your physician), is an
important way to keep track of how
well you're doing.
Keep a daily journal of what you eat
and then compare the test results after each meal so you can adjust
your diet as needed. For example: If your blood sugar runs high after having cereal for breakfast in the morning then
switch to something different. (My favorite is peanut butter
toast!) You need to find what works for you and then stay away from what
doesn't. Did you know that you don't
even need a prescription to get a glucose monitor and supply of
test strips? Both are now available over the counter at
your local drugstore!
The American Diabetes
Association reports that approximately 18.2 million people now have Diabetes and
of those, an estimated 5.2 million don't even know they have the disease.
If you are concerned that you may be at risk (especially if you have a family
history of high blood sugar or are overweight and have an inactive lifestyle),
please seek the care
of a physician soon. We want you to live a long and healthy life!!! Learn
