  • What are the symptoms of pre-diabetes that do not have diabetes?

    Where your blood sugur is high but not high enough for diabetes.And do not have the classic symptoms like eating lots ,drinking lots ,going to the bathroom alot ,tired ,weak and sore woods, weight loss ,not healing ,tingling sensation in feet and hands ,sweating or dizzy.

  • Is all sugar bad?

    What sugars are bad and what sugars are oaky?

    From my understanding of my shaking knowledge of the body is all foods like starch ,carbs and different sugar turn into glucose that is used by cells.

    But any extra glucose is turn into fats or glycogen? And when the body runs out of glucose or glycogen it brakes down fat to Ketones.

    Here is what I found doing a wiki search.

    Quote:

    Sugar is something that is part of food or can be added to food. It gives a sweet taste, and it can look like a white or brown powder. You can get sugar from some plants, such as fruits. The sugar we add to food usually comes from a plant called sugarcane

    Scientists say that sugar is a name for a type of chemical. Regular sugar (the one commonly added to food) is called sucrose. Fructose is the sugar that is in fruits. As chemicals, surcose and fructose are both made by two smaller sugars.Glucose is the most common of these smaller sugars. When we eat regular sugar, our body breaks it apart into the smaller sugars.

    .

    Can some one explain what is in bold . And why does fruits and Vegetables have sugar?

  • Chocolate not that bad a person tells me

    Talking to a person sends me this about Chocolate saying it does not have that much sugar like candy and sweets that have lots of sugar.

    Saying candy and sweets have lots of sugar and one that has diabetes should not have it but Chocolate not that bat.


    Chocolate contains antioxidants known as flavonoids which help protect against free radicals that cause cell and tissue damage.

    Chocolate contains beneficial vitamins and minerals, including copper, potassium, magnesium and phosphorus. Contrary to popular belief, chocolate contains minimal caffeine – a fraction of that in a cup of coffee.

    70% cocoa or higher dark chocolate has a low glycemic index, meaning a smaller fluctuation in blood glucose and insulin levels than with other sweet foods. Be sure to read labels for other added sugars.

    Endangered Species Chocolate is all-natural, meaning it contains no additives like chemical preservatives or artificial coloring and flavoring. Our organic-certified products are made using ingredients with no pesticides, growth hormones or other chemicals, maximizing the benefits of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids.

    Heart…

    Stearic acid found in cocoa butter has a neutral affect on cholesterol. A portion of chocolate’s fat also comes from oleic acid, a heart-healthy, monounsaturated fat. The antioxidants found in dark chocolate can inhibit plaque formation in the arteries and improve the flexibility of blood vessels.

    The darker and purer the chocolate, the more powerful the antioxidants. 70% cocoa or higher dark chocolate contains more antioxidant power than green tea, red wine or blueberries. Endangered Species Chocolate has many dark chocolate selections with 70-88% cocoa content, some containing other heart-friendly foods like berries and nuts.

    And soul…

    Eating chocolate releases endorphins, the body’s natural “feel-good” chemical.

    Chocolate is known as an antidepressant and an aphrodisiac. It contains a phenylethylamine, which can cause feelings similar to being “in love.”

    Our own health can be connected to our compassion and generosity toward others. Feel good about indulging in Endangered Species Chocolate knowing that it helps support sustainable forest farming practices and gives back to conservation organizations.

    ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS:

    Dairy can interfere with the absorption of antioxidants found in chocolate.

    While chocolate has many health benefits, it should be consumed in moderation. Chocolate consumption that causes weight gain negates many of the health values.

    This information is in no way intended to be medical advice. If you intend to medicate with chocolate, please consult a doctor first. NOTE: At Endangered Species Chocolate we provide gourmet chocolate made with the finest all-natural ingredients.

    on the earth. Just as important, we see chocolate as a medium to help save species, conserve habitat and honor human life. Our 100% ethically traded cacao beans are shade grown on small, family-owned properties, ensuring the workers and farmers a fair wage and humane working conditions. Choosing Endangered Species Chocolate is one way to support sustainable forest farmland and the species that flourish there. We add to the impact of each bar by contributing 10% of our net profits to organizations whose mission is to help support species, habitat and humanity.

    Researchers are discovering more and more attributes of chocolate in addition to its savored taste. In 1993, researchers at The Pennsylvania State University ¹ concluded that stearic acid, the main saturated fatty acid in chocolate, does not raise blood cholesterol levels. These researchers also reported ² that a 1.4 ounce chocolate bar eaten in place of a high carbohydrate snack does not raise LDL-cholesterol (the bad cholesterol) levels and increases HDL-cholesterol (the good cholesterol) levels.

    In addition to its neutral affect on blood cholesterol levels, recent research has indicated a possible antioxidant benefit in chocolate similar to that found in red wine. Not only is chocolate and red wine a tantalizing combination for its sensational taste, but research shows these foods also contain antioxidants which may be good for health. In September, 1996, The Lancet ³ reported cocoa powder and chocolate contain a relatively high amount of phenolic compounds, which possess antioxidant properties. Further, they found the compounds possess properties that may be beneficial in reducing the risk for coronary heart disease.

  • What brakes down sugar or carbohydrates ?

    And how does the body process sugar or carbohydrates ? If there is too much sugar or too liitle sugar can this be diabetes? How can you tell if you have too much sugar or not enough?

  • Could this be Pre-Diabetes ?

    When I go pee the urine is foamy and has bubbles like if you have a bath with bubbles:eek: it is more bubbles than foamy and I don’t know why.. Well it does brake down and if I go to the bathroom alot there seems to be less or hardly at all and I don’t know if it is drinking water or flushing out water ever is building up.

    I don’t have the diabetes of thirsty ,drinking lots ,frequent urination ,strong hunger ,fatigue ,loss of weight, slow-healing sores, dry and itchy skin, numbness or tingling in your feet ,headache ,back pain , sores .

    In fact some days I drink 4 or 5 drinks in a 24 hour and go to the bathroom to pee 3 or 4 times in a 24 hour and eat 2 times in a 24 hour.

    But I do not have diabetes the diabetes symptoms above but could this be pre-diabetes I have that lead to diabetes ?
    I can’t do a urine test because foamy and bubbles brake down so by the time the doctor look at it it is all gone.

    I thought excess protein ,crystalline or infection like urinary tract infections do not brake down ?
