WHAT
WE MUST KNOW ABOUT DIABETES!
If you have diabetes, your body isn’t able to regulate blood sugar
properly, either because the pancreas doesn’t produce insulin (type 1 diabetes)
or the body has become resistant to it (type 2 diabetes).
As a result, people with diabetes have to carefully manage their blood sugar levels through diet, exercise, and medications to make sure it
stays in a healthy range
But sometimes, blood sugar can become too high. In many of these
cases, people with diabetes will be able to quickly lower blood sugar on their
own, by taking more insulin. However, other times, they may need to visit the
ER for immediate medical attention.
High
blood sugar symptoms
The most common symptoms of hyperglycemia are:
·
Increased thirst and/or hunger
·
Blurred vision
·
Frequent urination (peeing)
·
Headache
·
Fatigue
If someone has hyperglycemia, it would mean they would be very thirsty,
tired, they might be urinating more frequently and basically not feeling well.
How
to lower Blood Sugar Quickly
Hyperglycemia is not automatically an
emergent situation. Anyone with diabetes knows high blood sugar readings will
happen, and it’s okay, as long as it doesn’t last too long or get too high.
If it does occur, here are a few ways to quickly lower blood sugar on your own
Take
more insulin
Insulin can be used to treat acute cases of high blood sugar for people
with diabetes.
People with type 1 diabetes (who always use insulin) and some people
with type 2 diabetes (who sometimes use insulin) can give themselves an extra
dose of insulin to quickly lower their blood sugar to safer levels. How much to
take depends on the situation and what your doctor recommends.
What lifestyle changes can help manage my diabetes?
Manage your blood sugar levels
Plan what you eat at each meal
Bring
healthy snacks with you.
Drink
more water
When you have high blood sugar, you may experience frequent urination
as your body tries to get rid of the extra glucose. Losing this fluid can cause
dehydration and make hyperglycemia symptoms even worse.
It’s important to drink water when you have hyperglycemia to stay hydrated and help your body regulate and lower blood sugar. But drinking lots of water won’t necessarily lower blood sugar on its own.
Do Exercise regularly
Exercise isn’t always the safest or most effective way to quickly lower
blood sugar. It is important to note that exercise only works if there is
insulin present, whether naturally or through injection, so that glucose can
get into the cells to be metabolized.
If there is no insulin, your body will start burning fat for energy,
and this could lead to a dangerous condition called diabetic ketoacidosis.
People with type 1 diabetes should not exercise if they have hyperglycemia.
However, exercise can lower blood sugar for most people with diabetes —
it just shouldn’t be used in emergency situations. In a 2013 study in the
journal Diabetes Care, more than 5,000 people with diabetes recorded their
blood glucose levels before and after exercising for as little as 10 minutes.
Overall, more than 75% of people saw their level decrease an average of about
17%.
Overall, medicine says that exercise is important for managing
diabetes, but warns that it isn’t a great short-term fix. For more information

WHAT WE DID NOT KNOW BUT DOCTORS KNEW, The Uncommon Ways to Lower Blood Sugar Levels
1.
Manage your carb intake
Your body breaks carbs down into sugars (mostly glucose), and then
insulin helps your body use and store sugar for energy. When you eat too many
carbs or have insulin-function problems, this process fails, and blood glucose
levels can rise. However, there are several things you can do about this.
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends managing carb intake
by counting carbs and being aware of how many you need. Some studies find that
these methods can also help you plan your meals appropriately, further
improving blood sugar management. Many studies also show that a low carb diet
helps reduce blood sugar levels and prevent blood sugar spikes
2.
Increase your fiber intake
Fiber slows carb digestion and sugar absorption. For these reasons, it
promotes a more gradual rise in blood sugar levels. Furthermore, the type of
fiber you eat may play a role; soluble and insoluble fiber.
While both are important, soluble fiber has explicitly been shown
to improve blood sugar management. Additionally, a high fiber diet can help better manage type-1
diabetes by improving the body’s ability to regulate blood sugar and reducing
blood sugar lows
Foods that are high in fiber include:
·
vegetables
·
fruits
·
legumes
·
whole grains
The recommended daily intake of fiber is about 25 grams for women and
38 grams for men. That’s about 14 grams for every 1,000 calories
3.
Implement portion control
Portion control helps regulate calorie intake and can help maintain a
moderate weight. Consequently, weight management promotes healthy blood sugar
levels and has been shown to reduce the risk of developing type-2 diabetes.
Monitoring your serving sizes also helps reduce calorie intake and
subsequent blood sugar spikes. Here are some helpful tips for managing portion sizes:
·
Measure and weigh portions.
·
Use smaller plates.
·
Avoid all-you-can-eat restaurants.
·
Read food labels and check the serving
sizes.
·
Keep a food journal.
·
Eat slowly.
4.
Choose foods with a low glycemic index
The glycemic index measures how we absorb or digest foods, which
affects the rate at which blood sugar levels rise. Both the amount and type of
carbs determine how a food affects blood sugar levels
Eating low-glycemic-index foods has been shown to reduce blood sugar levels
in those with diabetes. Although the glycemic index of foods is important, the
number of carbs consumed also matters. Foods with a low to moderate glycemic
index include:
·
barley
·
yogurt
·
oats
·
beans
·
lentils
·
legumes
·
wheat pasta
·
non-starchy vegetables
5.
Manage stress levels
Stress can affect your blood sugar levels. Hormones such as glucagon
and cortisol are secreted during stress. These hormones cause blood sugar
levels to go up.
One study showed that exercise, relaxation, and meditation significantly reduced stress and lowered blood sugar levels for
students. Exercises and relaxation methods like yoga and mindfulness-based stress reduction may also help correct insulin secretion problems in chronic
diabetes.
CONCLUSION
- THE BOTTOM LINE! (THE SMART BLOOD PROGRAM)
Everyone with diabetes is bound to experience high blood sugars. There
are simply too many variables out of our control to prevent high blood sugars
from ever happening. But the best thing we can do when they do happen is to
help them come down as quickly as possible and possibly reverse them totally so
they never happen again. I am going to show you how to do that!
THE
SIMPLE TRUTH
We may never cross paths or we may already have crossed paths but
picture yourself waking up and feeling more alive, more focused, and more
hopeful than you have in years.
No more worries about blood sugar, like losing a limb to amputation.
Instead, you’ll feel excited about the future. You’ll have the strength and energy to enjoy
each day to the fullest. And you’ll enjoy the peace of mind that comes from
knowing you’ll be around for your family.

About Smart Blood
Sugar by Dr. Marlene Merritt
Smart Blood Sugar is a book written by Doctor Dr.
Marlene Merritt, and sold on Amazon as well as through a promotional video and
sales page found at TheBloodSugarBlueprint.com. In it, Merritt
promises to help people lower their blood pressure without the use of
prescription medication.
How Does It Work?
The Smart Blood Sugar book was written by Dr. Marlene Merritt, a doctor with a degree in Oriental
Medicine and a Master’s Degree in Nutrition, who says that people who suffer
from high blood pressure are in more trouble than they realize.
Most doctors
automatically prescribe medication to control the blood pressure of people who
suffer from hypertension, but this medication can have serious side effects,
and many people actually end up taking additional prescription medications to
counteract these side effects.
Dr. Merritt says that
she has helped more than 187,000 people stop taking prescription medications
and get their blood pressure under control while losing weight and relieving
stress, all with the help of only all-natural solutions.
