Here is an innovative product that is getting popular for weight loss, and we wanted to share it with the readers of this site.

Did you know that your fat tissue REALLY can be burned away…….since it’s actually MEANT to be burned?

It’s true, and the only reason why fat tissue is being stored on your body is because your body’s fat burning hormones are not being released after each meal in the correct amounts.

The main reason which prevents people from losing weight is ENDLESS procrastination.

Most people tell themselves that they’ll begin dieting “next week” or “after some future holiday” (or some other excuse) — and that let’s them procrastinate even further.

This new Diet System consists of two parts:

1. Online Diet Generator – you choose the foods you want to eat over the next couple of weeks, and the diet generator will produce a suitable menu for you. The important thing that this system emphasizes is the timing of a given food, and trying to match it with the body’s nutrition needs, so that you create minimal mis-match, and hence minimal extra fat production.

2. Downloadable Diet Handbook – with numerous useful dieting tips and tricks that you can read multiple times and practice to reduce extra weight rapidly.

Type 1 Diabetes Information

Posted on September 21, 2007 | Leave a comment

If you’ve just been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, don’t panic. Your doctor will give you all the information you need in order to test yourself and care for yourself. You can test yourself by using a blood glucose meter.

A blood glucose meter measures your blood sugar to ensure that it’s at a normal level. This is crucial because a blood sugar level that’s too high or too low could be very dangerous for the person with type 1 diabetes.

But by learning what to look out for if your levels get out of control, you’ll be better prepared to deal with any complications that result from your disorder.

About Type 1 Diabetes Information

Diabetes is a condition where the body doesn’t produce enough insulin, which the body uses to convert sugar, or glucose, into energy for everyday activities.

Type 1 Diabetes is more frequently diagnosed in children because it has genetic factors. When someone is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, it is often scary. However, even though the condition is serious, people who have type 1 diabetes can live long and productive lives. You can learn to live with it and you must know what to look for so that it does not lead to any Type 1 Diabetes complications. By testing yourself regularly and by learning all about diabetes, you will be better prepared to care of yourself and lead a wonderful life ahead!

Type 1 Diabetes Treatment: Medication Kit, Injections and Inhalers

Your doctor will generally prescribe insulin injections for you so that you can manually control your blood glucose levels. It’s important to listen to your doctor and to do just as instructed so that you don’t put yourself in danger.

If your blood glucose levels are too low, you can take a glucose shot or you can eat something with sugar in it. However, your doctor will be able to answer your questions more specifically as only he or she knows your specific condition.

The good news is that they have recently come out with insulin inhalers. These are alternatives to injections so that you don’t have to worry about jabbing yourself with a needle. Ask your doctor for more information on this new type 1 diabetes drug.

If you have type 1 diabetes, it’s important that you begin caring for yourself. If you’re overweight, you should try to lose weight. If you smoke, you should stop immediately, and you should also watch your alcohol intake. If you want to lead a long, normal life, you need to take certain precautions. Type 1 diabetes makes you more susceptible to other conditions and diseases, but by taking care of yourself and by listening closely to your doctor, you can successfully live with diabetes and you can lead a normal, healthy life just like anyone else.

Diabetes-Natural Cures and Remedies

Posted on September 20, 2007 | Leave a comment

As you may already know, there are two main types of diabetes.

Type 1 diabetes is usually first identified in children or young adults. The beta cells of the pancreas no longer make insulin because the immune system has attacked and destroyed them. Treatment includes taking insulin, making healthy food choices, being active and controlling blood pressure and cholesterol.

Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. People can develop it at any age. It usually begins with insulin resistance, where fat, muscle, and liver cells do not use insulin properly. At first, the pancreas keeps produces more insulin but over time loses the ability to give out enough insulin in response to meals. Being overweight and doing no exercise increases the chances of type 2. Treatment includes using medicines, making healthy food choices, being active and controlling blood pressure and cholesterol.

The positive news is that there are natural cures available/possible for diabetes and these remedies can easily be added to a healthy diet to help control blood sugar levels. There are two main types of diabetics and a healthy diet as well as vitamin supplements can help diabetics who fall into both categories.

Until quite recently, it was advised that type 2 diabetes patients help their illness with only medication, but doctors now encourage them to look at natural remedies to help. Traditional medications are good but come with side effects, with risks of getting heart disease or strokes.

Natural remedies for diabetes can help the pancreas increase its own making of insulin, lowering the risks of side effects.

Several natural food items are available that can help diabetics control their blood sugar levels with a natural cure. Some examples include

  • Onions and garlic because research has revealed that onions and garlic can considerably reduce blood sugar levels for even longer periods of time than artificial insulin. Onions are advised to be eaten raw because cooking can make them loose their minerals.
  • Cayenne pepper can be used as a natural cure to arouse and perk up blood circulation, which is critical for diabetics. Using cod liver oil is also associated with a significantly lower risk of type 1 diabetes .
  • There are other nature substances that work as at helping diabetes such as the carrot juice, cabbage, coconut, and spinach.

These vitamins and natural foods can help be a natural cure and prevent the further development of diabetes as well as improving a person’s health.

Innovative Continuous Glucose Monitoring System

Posted on September 18, 2007 | Leave a comment

For many diabetics, keeping their blood sugar in check is a constant battle of highs and lows. Here’s an interesting video on cutting edge Glucose Monitoring. Through a sensor under your skin, a transmitter sends a wireless signal from the sensor to a receiver constantly displaying the latest blood sugar level. You can also download the glucose monitoring charts. Health Insurance is probably not covering this yet.

All said, in most cases, there is still the “not so cutting edge” way to keep the blood sugar levels low – basic exercise like walking and jogging.

3 main types of Diabetes

Posted on September 17, 2007 | Leave a comment

Diabetes seems to be getting more common among the current population — lifestyle must have a role in it — though it’s still under research.

There are three main types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes , usually diagnosed in children and adolescents, occurs when the pancreas is unable to produce insulin. Insulin is a hormone that ensures body energy needs are met.

Approximately 10% of people with diabetes have Type 1 diabetes.

The remaining 90% have Type 2 diabetes , which occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body does not effectively use the insulin that is produced. Type 2 diabetes usually develops in adulthood, although increasing numbers of children in high-risk populations are being diagnosed.

A third type of diabetes, gestational diabetes, is a temporary condition that occurs during pregnancy. It affects approximately 3.5% of all pregnancies and involves an increased risk of developing diabetes for both mother and child.
