What Are Normal Blood Sugar Levels and Why Should We Care What They Are?

Type 2 Diabetes has become an epidemic in our society. Hereditary and poor lifestyle habits are frequently to blame. The good news about Type 2 Diabetes, which is different from the autoimmune disease Type 1 Diabetes, is that lifestyle changes can dramatically improve your diabetes control.

Talk with your doctor, health care team, and pharmacist about your medications. Learn what the purpose of the medicine is and why it was prescribed. Learn what effect the medicine is to provide. And most importantly, learn how you are supposed to take it and remember to take each day as prescribed.

This is especially important if you are taking insulin. There are different types of insulins, from short-acting to long-acting. It is very important to know how your insulin works. Lantus, for example, works for 24 hours and is used as a "basal" insulin, which keeps your blood sugars steady over the day. It is not used for when you suddenly have a high blood sugar reading that you need to correct. I recently had a patient who had a high number and decided she must need to take some insulin.

Instead of taking her corrective dose of 6 units of short-acting insulin Humalog, she took her long-acting Lantus and gave herself 60 units! She did not understand the readings on her insulin syringe. Insulin can be dangerous when not taken correctly so make sure you understand how to take it, and ask questions at the doctor's office and let them know you need more education.

Quantum Ad Code

In the last decade the percentage of Americans taking antidepressants has doubled, and now 1 in 10 Americans are popping "happy" pills to improve their outlook on life. What if depression issues are merely symptomatic of something greater, and could be improved by finding a way to balance the bodies PH? The final stages of acidosis are often life shortening. Cancer, lupus, Multiple Sclerosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Tuberculosis all have one common link, a highly acidic body PH. Eating foods that are very alkaline can help improve your body's PH. The old motto "You are what you eat" holds some merit. Green leafy vegetables, bell peppers, papaya, and other fruits and vegetables are all bursting with nutrition and are decidedly more alkaline. A healthy diet can definitely improve your outcomes on the PH spectrum. However, many Americans are finding that as the world becomes more toxic it is increasingly difficult to balance PH with diet alone. Nutrition is n...

Acing the First Date!

Believe it or not, but men actually have boundaries. If you cross one of a man's boundaries, you can definitely expect a negative reaction. Even something as simple as a word can make a man mad, can turn a man off, or can even chase him away. In terms of the bigger picture, however, men are still relatively simple creatures. Men generally only have three major turn-offs, but they're still turn-offs that you want to avoid at all cost. Don't be too needy. Give your man the space he needs and desires. Let him live his own life, hang out with his own friends, and do what he wants to do. If you begin to insist that he only spends his time doing things that you approve of, or that he spends every waking moment in your presence - or worse, that he spends every waking moment tending to your every need - he's going to feel more smothered than hash browns at the bottom of a plate of onions. If you don't give him the room he needs to breathe, he's going to run away gaspi...
