Look into the glycemic index

It's a ranking of foods and how they spike blood sugar. One of the best lists is at Prevention.com. I'm 44 and recently found out I'm diabetic. Not overweight at all. Family history.
I use the glycemic index as a guide. For me, I simply avoid food in the "high" range except for watermelon..which I eat in moderation.
Another essential component to controlling blood sugar is limiting carbs. I don't believe in the Atkins Diet, but the general theory is similar. No white rice, white potatoes, white bread, white flour. Substitute with brown rice, WHOLE wheat bread, WHOLE wheat pasta, etc.

Why you should eat fruit -- not drink it -- to lower diabetes risk  — Today.com
Consuming whole fruits at least three times a week may lower your risk of developing type 2 diabetes, according to a new long-term study published Thursday in the British Medical Journal.

  • Avatar sarahtipan Can Muslims or Jews accept medicine from a pig?
    Jun 18, 2010 by sarahtipan | Posted in Religion & Spirituality

    I was watching this current affairs program and they were saying New Zealand they discovered this pig colony living on a remote island and they believe that some enzyme in the pig could produce the cure for type 1 diabetes and it kind of made me wonder since in Islam and Judaism pigs are seen as dirty and you can't even eat them, if a cure for some disease was made from a pig could a Muslim or Jew use it?

    • To save a life- Yes.
      Otherwise- no.

      Eating pig is a problem for a Jew, because it's not kosher, not because it's dirty.
