How to Prevent and Treat Prediabetes

[@200Nora]

66 years old, not overweight, normal bp, high HDL, normal TGs, avoid consumption of refined carbs, and processed foods, fairly active; just diagnosed with PD. I am surprised and confused. However, it runs in my family also being low on vD and B12 are risks factors (that is probably my problem) they were low in my labs. I cannot lose too much weight, but I have decreased my carbs, increased veggies, fast for 16/8 two meals a day, and walk daily for 1hr (I had to stop working for now in order to control this condition because my work as a nurse is very demanding and stressful. I have also been having poor sleep. Wish me luck!

[@b.d.walters9402]

I definitely won't stop working for any reason...the movement is good for the digestion and muscle maintenance..., the distraction from the condition means I don't worry, which is stressful and a factor in high blood sugar, blood pressure and anxiety. Plus I can't afford the financial stress of not working. Those stresses are enough to mess with blood sugar and all manner of health issues. I too engage in fasting for at least 16 hours...but I do eat anytime I'm hungry if lemon water doesn't help. I'm doing yoga, Tai Chi, the stationary bicycle, weight lifting, and other forms of physical exercise, as well as walking when want to. I think everyone has to find their own way of eating or not eating and there isn't one way that works for all.

Same here, stress from my work was killing me. I hope that you have a support system that will allow you as much time as you need to take care of yourself.

It is been a year. I am preparing to retire, but I am planning to continue working as a part timer, in order to decrease any stress and to continue on my path to health. I am happy to inform that my way of handling things with my health has grant me freedom from pre-diabetes. My body and mind have adjusted well, and I know that, for as long as I live, I need to continue handling my health this way,. If I do not, my genes will play tricks on me again. It is also important to feel useful and productive, so lowering my work burden will allow me to manage my stress better. As a travel nurse, I can do this and take time off as I see it needed. No, I am not rich, but I cannot afford a little time to stop and relax when I am feeling overwhelmed. Besides, for me, my health is my best investment. Good health to us all; I pray you are doing well!

The food info was arguably not as accurate info as some of the other info (ie. basics of diabetes, and value of moderate exercise). First of all, every diabetic and prediabetic should have a glucometer available, to teach them the effect of different food choices on their body. Too much fear here of saturated fat and LDL cholesterol (which is split into particle sizes and small, dense LDL is more problematic than large fluffy, according to many researchers). The American Heart Association’s leadership and literature is inexplicably fearful of saturated fat, but if you look closer, they admit in their writing that sugar and processed simple carbohydrates are far worse. Eating lower fat protein is fine, if you prefer, to keep from consuming excess caloric energy, but the primary problem of food is not naturally occurring fats, it is consuming highly processed carbs and sugars and foods that include lots of unnatural seed oils (which she seems to claim are “heart healthy”). Fat will not raise glucose much, that is true, but fat can keep glucose circulating longer. So, if you eat a lot of fat, avoid combining it with sugar and simple carbs. Fat is a more dense energy source than carbohydrates. In the video she says repeatedly that protein won’t raise glucose, which is not correct. Protein will convert to glucose at a slower rate than carbohydrates and lower amount. Anyone who is on a lower carbohydrate diet can show you that protein will raise glucose over a few hours, but in a way that can be controlled and compensated for with endogenous insulin, physical activity or medication. She puts a positive emphasis on sugar from fruits for some reason, as natural and full of nutrients. Broccoli has more nutrients than most fruits without the high amount of sugar. Juice is among the worst thing for diabetics, especially diabetics who have insulin resistance from fatty liver and fatty pancreas, because the sucrose and fructose contribute to the visceral fat that is causing a lot of insulin resistance. Most grains contain high amount of starches, and they convert quickly to glucose. Fiber is important, but videos like these put a lot of emphasis on fiber containing grains without much consideration for the proven spikes that come from the starch. She says to eat any vegetable, and generally a raw vegetable might be better than a bag of processed junk food, but many vegetables contain high amounts of starch and when cooked and combined with fat (and sometimes sugar) to make them palatable, vegetables can be problematic: ie. corn, potatoes, peas. As far as “bad” lipids, high triglycerides are arguably the worst offender, and again, consumption of fat is not the primary cause of high triglycerides, it is genetics for some people, but mostly because of sugars and processed starches that get converted to high amounts of blood fat, and also high BMI. This causes inflammation and loss of energy, and self confidence; more stress, higher blood pressure, arterial damage, stiffening and clogging of arteries, poor circulation and more problems with glycation of tissues and dysfunction of nerves and organs. Sugar is our #1 problem, highly processed food is the method of delivery of sugar and junky starches and oils. Protein and naturally occurring fats are getting too much fear and criticism, and sugary fruits are getting too much praise.

I am a prediabetic now, also have high blood pressure. I have been having small episodes since 2016 with low blood sugar. Doctors said to eat pasta, brown rice, potatoes, oj and glucose sugar tablets. It would last minutes then went into hours and then days and now weeks. Had a severe episode last october that lasted for several weeks. Horrible symptoms such as dizzyness, off feeling, tingling, itching all over, headaches and blurry visiion. I did my reseach on eating for low and high blood sugar and saw a nutriitionist. I started eating every two hours and the right foods. Like oatmeal with berries, egg on toast, avacado toast, pumpernickle bread and nuts. Then sensible meals. That all helps, but I have to do it daily now and I am still not quite back to normal. for the most part I always eat healthy anyway, but I do like my wine. Since I was injured I cannot do much excersise except in the pool. I do need to lose some weight! I am between 5.7&5.8. This is pretty scary for me. We all have to figure out what works best for us. I now drink a glass of lemon water each morning that cleans out your blood. I eat cucumbers with humis for my snacks or with peppers. I cary nuts in my purse. I like your video it is very detailed. Thank you. God speed to all of us!

Takes time but good to know I could get out of the pre diabetic range so quickly. I will get it checked regularly to make sure it stays down.

The fiber in fruits overrides quite a bit of the harmful, simple carbs, like fructose and sucrose. The fiber forms a type of protective covering and encapsulates the simple carbs and sugar so that it won’t be absorbed into the colon.

[@200Nora]

No, while she is providing good information, you have to remember everybody is different in the way the body processes food. While is true that fruits are healthy, have some fiber to slow digestion and decrease the glucose effect, still they elevate your glucose, and some will increase it more than others. Berries are better for diabetes, bananas, mangos can raise your bg to the stratosphere, eat in moderation. Avoid white rice, potatoes, grains also raise your bg; for now, I am avoiding oats, check yourself before you eat them; like I said we digest differently. Always read the labels in everything 4mg of sugar = 1 teaspoon, look at your carbs. They said you should consume 45% daily, but I am on 20%., the rest is fat and protein (lean).

[@sharphealthcare]

Hello Kelli, Complex Carbohydrates are an important part of a balanced diet. Complex carbohydrates include whole grains, fruits and starchy vegetables (such as potatoes, sweet potato and corn), and when eaten in moderation alongside lean protein, heart healthy fats and non-starchy vegetables (reference the plate method) helps to manage blood sugar levels by slowing the absorption of glucose into the blood stream. Whole grains and starchy vegetables are also a rich source of essential nutrients including dietary fiber, B vitamins, vitamin C, and iron. The key takeaway, is that complex carbohydrates including whole wheat bread and starchy vegetables can be enjoyed in moderation when paired with heart healthy fats, protein and non-starchy vegetables. Both the CDC and the American Diabetes Association both do not recommend avoiding whole grains or starchy vegetables. Please see the link for reference: spr.ly/605237bHp Kindly, Jasmine

[@oaklandsoldier8520]

This stuff is overwhelming. I feel doomed

[@mandelharvey3429]

You're not doomed. Drinking a gallon of water helps break the sugary drinks addiction. Eat only food without labels. Not processed. Fruit is candy. Eat sparingly. Drink water. Fermented foods are good. Sugar is bad. Sugar is everywhere. Cut it out completely and you'll probably find a hundred grams hiding in the regular food. Follow the money. The government recommendations adhere to political donors, not science. If you study the money you'll know what's good to eat and what's deadly. This is a young fit person who could eat anything. She's beautiful. I enjoy her speaking. Saturated fat is natural fat. Vegetable oil is super processed. You can't get vegetable oil out of your garden at home. Processed foods are bad. Look at that money track. Look at the money track for grains etc. Frozen beef, frozen vegetables, eggs, are items the food delivery system can get to you with the least amount of stuff. Fish gets canned quick. Flour is pulverized grain. That's a process. Rats fed pulverized food, no matter the type, became obese. So use your head and your gut. Keep researching. Follow the money. Carnivore is a fad now. Only with fatty meat and butter. meat is a not processed food. Because the diet stops all the processes stuff, it's better than most other diets. It's easier than the vegan diets. They're complicated. I found I felt terrible because I did vegan wrong.. im sure there is a good way to do vegan. I haven't learned it. Ive lost 25 so far on carnivore . Really helped my allergies and inflammation. Now I'm tired because I had a low sleep day this week. Sleep is very important. everything In our food has something wrong. We'd be better off with wild game, and hearty vegetables and fruit only in season. Fermented foods off season. Olive oil is a fruit oil. You can press olives at home and get Olive oil. Olive oil good. Crisco bad.

Hi Alpacinoxz, We are unable to provide medical advice over social media and recommend that you speak with your primary care physician on strategies to prevent you from developing diabetes. Sincerely, Mandy

[@200Nora]

The problem is you are more likely to develop diabetes if prediabetic. Like DM and because of the excess glucose and insulin resistance, PD also causes bodily harm. Revamp your diet, exercise more. I am not into refined sugars, and processed foods, but I have identified some deficiencies that are causing risks besides diet: poor sleep, stress, low vitD, and B12, I eat too much bread, white rice, potatoes, and 2 or 3 bananas a day. So I am for now eliminating these foods at least 95%. Walk 30-45min daily, increase fiber and veggies, low grain consumption if any, water, eating twice a day only. Good luck!

No wonder that the majority of US population is methabolically out of shape. Most of the diatery advices given here are utterly wrong. Some examples: the guts do not read labels and can not differentiate between 'natural sugar and added sugar'; all Carbs, except fiber, raise blood glucose level so diabetics should avoid them in all forms; saturadet fats, especially animal based, are stable and does not cause inflamation in tbe body - majority of the energy intake should come from sat fats; a proper fat-protein rich meal gives long term energy needed for 24 hrs - the recommended 3 meals + 5 snacks eating leads to an iternal glucose-insuline rollercoaster, eventually leading to insuline resistance and weight increase; LDL is not a killer, if Triglycerides are low and HDL are high.
