Options as Diabetic Choices

Living with Diabetes comes down to 5 choices or options


"Based on the research and information I have on August 07 the following makes sense to me," Harlan Jacobsen Copyright ©2007
 
  1. Ignore it completely, keep right on going on and not letting it interfere with your life.
    Do and change nothing at all until forced to do so.
    Do nothing about associated maladies developing. Take them as they come.

  2. Make a few changes, ease up on the obvious sugar abuse, go to the doctor and get a prescription but do not follow it closely until complications develop. Basic operating system is to do nothing or little about cause, run to Doctor to get relief from symptoms with a pill as they appear and get unbearable - follow everything haphazardly as you get to it.

  3. Go to the Doctor and take whatever he prescribes as chemical (prescription) to do one of these three things:

  4. Lower your intestine's ability to absorb sugar the normal method (Metformin, for example)

  5. Make your cells more accepting of sugar, enhance insulin effects, or

  6. Force your pancreas to produce even more insulin, or a combination of all of these.
Most doctors will send you to a registered Dietician who will charge Medicare $750 to teach you how to eat as a diabetic. This will be telling you can basically keep right eating what you have always eaten but now you have to keep close track and limit everything to a certain amount.

Measure and learn how to substitute certain amounts of one food for another so you can substitute.

This becomes a bookkeeping nightmare that most fall off this wagon in a short time
The disease continues to progress (damage accumulates) and you must constantly go back to your Doctor to have your prescriptions increased or switched to a more potent chemical to compensate.

Eventually, many wind up on insulin as the only way to keep the levels within bounds.

You will need to constantly measure your blood sugar several times a day and monitor, add, subtract, etc what carbs add up to in each meal, etc.
  • Learn to control your blood sugar with diet and natural helping foods plus supplements. This can be a complicated version of 3 where you can count carbs portions and amount when you eat, etc or it can be relatively simple - cut out all that contribute to the problem and eat as much of what you want that is part of man designed for diet. If you continue to eat what you always ate but learn to eat portions and mixtures, you may be able to control (or have your blood sugar out of control and just take the damage). Many go this route.

  • Biggest Life Style Change, this choice is to change all eating etc to a new pattern that feels uncomfortable (unknown and unusual) not an adaptation of your old life style.
    Cut out all sugar and flour, and high glycemic foods such as all forms of potatoes.
    Cut out all root vegetables. None cooked. (carrots and onions okay raw) Very little fruit. Cut out dairy, etc with yogurt and butter exceptions etc..
    This is what we call the Caveman diet, some call the paleo diet etc.
    This one is easy to stay on (never go hungry) once you get past the first 21 day adjustment. You should be able by taking supplements etc and vitamins get off all medication in a relatively short time and when your blood sugar levels (takes a few weeks,) are low your doctor will usually agree to this.
