Want to control your blood sugar with diet and exercise?

I can only share my experience; this is not medical advice...

For me, and the many others who have followed this path, the key is to be consistent in providing the body with what it needs to repair itself.

Exercise - initially, I walked 45 - 60 minutes every morning. I still exercise 4 or 5 times per week in the mornings for at least 30 minutes.

In addition, I eat only high fiber anti-diabetes foods, such as whole wheat bread, corn, brown rice, etc in gradually increasing proportions as I found my glucose level normalizing.

My food also includes supplementation - extra nutrients, such as fucoidan from original limu (http://choosenow.originallimu.com/), and milagro de la selva (http://melagrodelaselva.com/). These helped very well.

Another point about food and eating is that I ate my largest meal (I still do) in the morning so that I burn the calories during the day while I am active; my smallest meal is at the end of the day. Here is another article about the cause of diabetes and what you can do.

Very importantly...

Even though my onset of diabetes has a genetic component, my research showed that this early development of the condition had to do with my lifestyle - not getting the right kind of sleep. Things really changed when I started getting my sleep early at nights. I can't explain all the science here, but it has been amazing. I will be explaining more in my newsletter and on the website that I am now re-designing.

Be consistent, be persistent: exercise, sleep right, eat right, rest and change your A1c. I got mine down to 5.3% and still holding without medication for nearly two years now.

Four healthy habits that did it

I'm back. It's been a long time.

I'm also back from my former life of metformin and meager meals that I had to prepare from a sheet of paper I got from my doctor's office. Yak!

I never had to count carbs on Thanksgiving Day this year, and that's largely the result of 4 healthy practices I have adopted over the past (nearly) 2 years.

1. I exercise for at least ½ hour at least 5 days per week. I've resurrected some muscles in my upper body, and now they're burning that glucose so fast, I don't have those high blood sugar levels anymore.
2. I eat my biggest meal at breakfast and my smallest at the end of the day, approximately 4 hours before bed time. This means any extra calorie intake will get wiped out before the end of my day. I can't get overweight. I really can't - not with this eating style and diet.
3. I go to bed early at nights - This was a hard one for me, but I soon learned that the early rest was what my body needed all along. Anyone with a degenerative disease such as diabetes needs all the rest he/she can get.
4. I have been giving my body a steady diet of extra "system restore" nutrients. I could not have normal A1c (5.3%) again without some those special health supplements.
   

So, I'm back, and I feel great. My glucose meters are nearly unemployed. I have cut the earnings of some diabetes drug makers - boy, am I powerful! But I haven't fired my doctor. I still need her to get me those heart-warming medical reports every now and again.

You may copy my healthy habits, if you wish. You might take up a singing career in a couple years. But that would be a healthy thing to do too.
