If you use the drug metformin you'll need to add more B12 (B) vitamins
as this drug and other will deplete the body of Bs
In one study or hypothesis of the effects of caffeine on diabetes, it was found that after a meal, those who had been given caffeine had a 21% increase in their glucose levels and their insulin levels rose 48%. (2004) (Coffee, tea or Coke, Pepsi?) Caffeine makes a fog in the brain and will throw off the normal pH balance, leaving us step table to pH diseases. (see bottom of page for more) Bi Polar, ADHD and etc should not go near coffee nor any other brain disorder. To have good health, no cancers i.e. a balanced pH is needed. Use hot lemon water in the morning instead. This was in the Dr. James Lane, professor of psychiatry at Duke University, who led this study, said; “in a healthy person, glucose is metabolized within an hour or so after eating. Diabetics, however, do not metabolize glucose as efficiently. It appears that diabetics who consume caffeine are likely having a harder time regulating their insulin and glucose levels than those who don't take in caffeine.”
Avoiding caffeine might be another way to better manage their disease.
Remember to note that this person is a psychiatrist, no data on the study was noted here. For instance was the coffee black, sugar, cream or was the study done in decaf and the results. This was published by the http://http://www.teeccino.com//ArticleDetails.aspx?ArticleID=13 is a Tea Company (found on the Internet.) They sell decaf teas etc., was it bias? Is all caffeine the same for raising blood sugars?
I use a health food brand of Carbonated beverage called STEVIA, whatever flavor i.e. although it no chemicals and sugars it has caffeine, which I noticed it made me hungry...Careful if you have a weight problem (diabetes.)
Was is the chlorogenic found in coffee instead of it's caffeine as some suspect? More research needs to me needed.
Mushroom for brain disorders
DON'T use if any brain including mental disorders.
The main reason this issue is here is; one, its news to me and two, I am watching when I drink caffeine teas of coffee to see if it effect my blood sugars. Three, its wise for readers who are diabetic to do the same.
In this link are many other opposite findings of the study of caffeine effect on diabetes. http://healthpsych.psy.vanderbilt.edu/CoffeeDiabetes.htm Do check blood sugars after using caffeine products (that day)...stop and another day don't use these products to see if there's a change. Obviously, research differs. http://fox13now.com/2012/08/30/lds-blog-post-says-caffeine-ok-for-mormons/
*My favorite tea is the no caffeine Rooibos (red tea) use to be called red bush tea. Lots of research has been done on the large amounts of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants contents with very little tannic acid. http://www.africanredtea.com/ Also, found in bigger health food stores.
Please for others let us know of your findings on the subject.... https://www.pinterest.com/toughertimes/
It sounding more correct to me as I noticed on a vegan diet my insulin's numbers came down and the starch and potatoes were OK. But, because of the pressure of our so called experts I was unable to write about it yet even though I did lose 50 pound and ate a lot? I now eat more vegetarian, but cut back on sugar/dairy and no sodas.
The resistance, in this case, comes in the form of so-called resistant starches, certain kinds of carbohydrates that resist digestion in the small intestine and enter into the large intestine, or colon, mostly in the same form they entered your mouth.
These starches — found in seed hulls, parts of corn and beans, and in room-temperature rice and pasta — can ferment in the colon to promote the growth of "good" bacteria and have many other beneficial effects. Researchers at the University of Colorado Denver summarize these benefits in a review paper in the current issue of the journal Current Opinion in Gastroenterology. The review includes the researchers' own findings concerning resistant starch and weight control. [The Scoop on 7 Perfect Survival Foods]
Starch vs. fiber
The word "starch" often is confused with fiber. Both are complex carbohydrates, and both are important for good health. But starch, for the most part, is highly digestible; and fiber is not. Starches are found in root vegetables, tubers, winter squashes, grains and legumes. Your body starts digesting these starches from the moment you start chewing, extracting nutrients and energy.
Fiber is more like the natural packaging for fruits and vegetables, such as the skin or the rigid cellular walls of plants. The human body does not absorb nutrients or energy from them. Soluble fiber dissolves in water, making food more viscous, slowing digestion, and prolonging the feeling of fullness. Insoluble fiber absorbs water and promotes regular and firm bowel movements.
Resistant starch has properties of both soluble and insoluble fiber, said Janine Higgins, lead author on the review paper and associate professor of Pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. There are five different forms of resistant starch, she said, and each kind reaches the colon largely unscathed to do its handiwork.
Cures what ails you
Resistant starch might sound like some kind of miracle cure-all, but independent studies have found this substance, more so than ordinary dietary fiber, can help: kill precancerous polyps in the colon; prevent diabetes by improving insulin sensitivity and regulating blood sugar; maintain healthy body weight; reduce inflammation; prevent or treat inflammatory bowel disease; and help promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut.
In 2010, scientists at Virginia Polytechnic and State University reported that resistant starch might also protect against breast cancer.
So, how can a bit of indigestible starch do all this?
"Resistant starch is a very good substrate for fermentation," Higgins told Live Science. "Instead of being digested by amylases in the upper digestive tract, it passes to the bowel, where it is fermented by bacteria into short chain fatty acids (SCFA). SCFA are acidic, so they lower bowel pH, which facilitates proliferation of good bugs and inhibits growth of pathogenic bacteria. All of this extra fermentation and availability of SCFA provides fuel or energy for the colonocytes [cells lining the colon], which are a barrier against infection."
"Therefore, the lining of the bowel thickens and becomes healthier, and more good bugs colonize and thrive," Higgins added. "In this way, resistant starch acts as a probiotic. Resistant starch also has some of the properties of insoluble fiber, so it increases stool bulk and decreases transit time, both of which are indicators of bowel health."
Also, butyrate, a type of SCFA, seems to be involved in the prevention of bowel cancer, Higgins said. (Surgery's: If some of the bowl/stomach is removed this would be beneficial to slow the digestive process down.)
Most plant based, high-fiber, vegetable-based diets will be rich in resistant starches, but some extra care is needed to get them into your diet. For example, pasta and rice have resistant starch, but only at room temperature. So, pasta salad and sushi are better sources of resistant starch. Whole grains, peas, and beans have a form of resistant starch that maintains its structure even when hot.
Green banana flour is another source of resistant starch, and it is gluten free.
Not just resistant-starch... but starch in general. Walter Kempner cured type-2 diabetics long ago with his infamous rice-diet, which consisted of white-rice and fruit.

These study's are proving we don't need that meat
NOW: GET BUSY AND BE CREATIVE with this new way of thinking about treating diabetes. It's what they don't want you to know and hope isn't true.
Now you can add that crust with the correct flours
CITRUS/ MarmaladeMake about one quart
Before making this marmalade, be sure to check and make sure your fruit are the best you can find. What is a bergamot? For this recipe, you could substitute any 'sweet' lemon, such as a Meyer lemon. This is certainly more economical than the store varieties and a lot more health.
8 bergamots lemons (about 700g), organic or unsprayed
3 cups (600g) sugar
4 cups (1l) water, plus more for blanching the bergamots
pinch of sea salt
optional:
2 teaspoons kirsch or,
LEMON CELLO
1. Rinse and dry the bergamots or other substitute lemons, trim off the stem ends, then cut each in half and pluck out the seeds.
2. Cut the lemons into quarters and using a sharp knife; slice the quarters as thinly as possible.
Tip: If you have trouble getting them very small, after slicing, you can use a chef’s knife to chop them to the right size.
Don’t use a food processor, as that will make the marmalade muddy.
3. Put in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Let boil for five minutes, then drain well.
4. Return the lemons back to the pot, add the sugar, 1 quart (1l) of water, and salt, and bring to a boil. Cook the lemons, stirring occasionally, until the marmalade begins to set using the wrinkle test: turn the marmalade off and put a dab on a plate that’s been in the freezer then check it after five minutes; if it wrinkles when you nudge it, it’s done.
If not, continue to cook, repeating this step, until it reaches the desired consistency.
Depending on the heat, the marmalade will take at least 30 minutes to reach this point, although if you’re used to making other jams, it will look slightly more liquid than others when done.
You can also use a candy thermometer; the jam will be done when the temperature reaches around 220ºF (104ºC).
5. Once done, stir in an oil or liqueur, if using, then ladle into clean jars and twist on the lids. Once cool, store in the refrigerator, where they’ll keep for at least six months.
Use to keep the body pH normal and if you have any flu or need a lemon for anything. They are good for toppings, spreads, on top of toast even a bit in green tea.
Which is more powerful in increasing appetites, corn syrups or aspartame?
Note: Many other chemicals-drugs have some the same properties, but these two are too common and used by most especially children. A example is most drugs for depression, bi polar, schizophrenia i.e. Drugs, also a chemical, works on the brain increasing the appetite that changes blood sugars. All drug-chemical deplete the body of vitamins and minerals, to which is your poison? One appetite increaser is ”Corn syrup”. Every one is becoming aware of this particular problem. (Note the products that no longer use corn syrups in breads etc.,) This sweetener increases weight by producing high blood sugar that makes larger appetites because it is so refined. (History Channel) It has the ability to raise the blood sugars seven times higher than any other sugar product on the market today. Test it out; note that every time its consumed the gluttony feelings afterward.
If your a diabetic and have had high blood sugars you know we're more hungry during these highs numbers. Diabetics who take their blood sugars and are familiar with any product that raises their blood sugars and avoid them.
However, note this is how corn syrups works on everyone not just diabetics. Candy made with corn syrup given to children is a double whammy. They want to eat more, oftener, plus they get more hyper because of the corn syrup in “corn syrup,” candy's. Try finding sugar candy or other fruit type or made with natural sweetener for them. No such thing exists or readily available in their reach.
Secondly; The most abusive is diet sodas made with aspartame (Aspartame goes by many other names these days. Why hid their logo name? Most would market their name and be so proud?) This is too powerful chemical that takes 3 months to get it out of the system. When you do get the system clean of this chemical you'll notice your appetites will dramatically decrease. If you go back on binging of any diet sodas (candies etc.) the “huge appetite” will return and often. You will eat but not get filled/full. Why, because this chemical works on the brain not in the stomach. The cue is; That's why you will also experience in the brain... fogginess or forgetfulness, senile - blanks thoughts, etc. (Pay attention to your body signals- this signal is also in the brain and uncontrollable appetite.)
The test; try it, you know you will anyways. So this time pay attention to your body's reactions and signals. Are you more-less hungry or thirsty? Simple. Even chewing the diet gum did it to me. That's why so many are obese and gain weight with these products. Yes, it will keep the blood sugar down but the extra hunger for food and eating it will cause “weight gain” as it has proven in the studies. Eating more and more often will increase blood sugars, again double whammies. Abusive, unknowing parents give these diet sodas to children and pop machines are in schools.
Test will not work if; 1. If your eating every thing and anything. Who has not taken corn syrups out of your diet before in other foods i.e.. Then how could you tell? 2. If you are already eating aspartame in other foods...how could you test it? ? The ones that can test this out are folks who have gone off these products and then added them back, one by one...That's how I found out these products do increase appetites that are out of control.
I used to drink diet sodas before term college tests. Thinking I needed the caffeine to keep me awake and alert however I noted the diet soda cause me to blank out with memory problems.
There are other refine natural sugars that are the same but not quite as bad, but the principles are the same.
STOPS INCREASING APPETITES; AVOID THESE TWO INGREDIENTS COMPLETELY! Test this out for yourself. That would include all diet sodas, and diet foods...(The more aspartame more the more chemical for hunger. It doesn't take much.)
A sane society should be banned corn syrups and aspartame and those marketeers who distribute them should be stoned for what they've knowingly done. http://www.living-foods.com/articles/agave.html Agave need to be in a organic raw state, too much of this is mislabeled wait to buy this product when FDA get this more clear. http://bodyecology.com/articles/which_are_good_sweeteners.php
Note the ads on the side....these products will never give up....and lie through their teeth!
The soda manufacter have to add potassium and minerials because it is leached out with the carbination.
