Levolar Forte™ is a dietary supplement only and despite of what you may have heard or read in the medical journals is not being promoted as a treatment. Regardless of how Levolar Forte™™ is being used in other countries, in America, there are strong federal laws (FDA) which prohibit a manufacturer from even a suggestion that it could be used for a disease state.

Yes, most diabetics can, if their sugar level is under control. Always check with your doctor first, before any procedure is done. A topical numbing cream is used, but comfort levels vary for each individual. The benefits far outweigh the discomfort you may experience.

If you have poor circulation or diabetes, avoid circular garters. Do not expose your feet to very hot or cold water and do not sit with crossed legs. Never attempt to cut corns or callouses. Do not smoke, as this seriously hinders blood circulation to the legs and feet.

Each serving of Beano® itself contributes an extremely small number of calories (less than five) to your diet and would be expected to have an insignificant effect on blood glucose. However, Beano® is a natural source food enzyme that works by breaking down indigestible sugars into simpler, more digestible sugars. As a result, it has been estimated that the use of Beano® will produce an additional two to six grams of carbohydrates for every 100 grams of food treated by Beano®.

In most cases, yes, although it is important to consult your physician first. Because OPCs can counteract vision and circulation problems associated with Diabetes, many Diabetics have made OPCs part of their diet.

Clinical studies have shown that honey is a better choice for diabetics than sugar. Honey requires lower levels of insulin compared to regular white sugar and does not raise blood sugar levels as rapidly as white sugar, due to the fructose it contains. However, diabetics should always consult with their doctor first before including honey in their diet. Every diabetic needs to ask their doctor how much honey is o.k. for them to use as a sweetener in tea or on toast.

If you were to compare the sugar in Biometics products and the sugar in fruit and vegetables, you would find that they are identical. The sugar found in Biometics products is fructose, which is a simple sugar that is found naturally in honey, fruits, and parts of plants.

a Diabetic myself, with an A1c of 5.7, anything you can find on this site is good. What you do have to watch out for is "simple" carbohydrates" because they will spike your sugar level and drop quickly. Eat only "complex" carbohydrates. True "whole grain" products are also very good, although they are not as low in calories as some of the other low carb foods, but they will not impact your sugar. If you go by the Glycemic Index, keep within the foods with a low index.

Absolutely! They are sugar free. One serving contains fewer Net Impact carbohydrates than a single starch or fruit exchange. Plus, each serving is low in saturated fat.

Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer in the US today and the leading cause of diabetes related deaths. Research indicates that cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetics share a common root - Insulin resistance. Insulin resistance occurs when the body does not produce enough or does not respond very well to it's own natural insulin. Insulin is a hormone (much like a key) that helps blood sugar to get into the cells of the body to be stored or converted into energy.

Yes, diabetics can actually benefit from Gatorade. Physically active diabetics who require periodic intake of carbohydrate to prevent hypoglycemia from occurring during and following activity should consume carbs during exercise. Also, people with diabetes are prone to dehydration by way of their increased urine output, and Gatorade can help in that regard as well. People with diabetes should always consult a physician before making any change in dietary intake.

Medifast Plus For Diabetics is certified to be LOW GLYCEMIC because it does not overly stimulate blood glucose and insulin and does not stimulate fat-storing enzymes. Persons with insulin-related disorders such as Syndrome X, Insulin-Resistance, Diabetes and Hyperglycemia look for the GRI Seal of Approval when selecting insulin-friendly products.Dieters and athletes try to avoid High Glycemic foods since they stimulate insulin and fat-storage.

The sweeteners used in our products are either non-nutritive or sugar-alcohols, both of which have been found to have an insignificant impact on insuline production and blood-sugar levels. However, sugar alcohols are still absorbed by the body, albeit more slowly than sugars themselves, and therefore can still raise blood-sugar levels, depending on the nature of your condition, your age, weight, and a number of other factors.

Medifast Plus for Diabetics is a specially designed line of food products formulated to meet the needs of people with diabetes. Medifast Plus for Diabetics contains fewer than 6 grams of sugar and 9 total carbohydrates per serving.

All of us are likely to have problems with our feet, but diabetics may develop serious problems more quickly and have more complications, especially when circulation or nerves are impaired. The key for the diabetic is to view all foot problems as potentially dangerous and to prevent them or seek podiatric medical care as soon as they occur. Regular Diabetic foot care can significantly reduce the risk of limb loss in diabetic patients

If a diabetic has his diabetes under good control alcohol can be included in the diet IF it's worked into a menu plan. A poorly controlled diabetic might have problems if they drink alcohol. Alcohol affects metabolism and is soluble in lipids (fats). Diabetics who drink may also be more susceptible to neuropathy. Alcohol is a concentrated source of calories with no nutrients. It's recommended that diabetics only consume one or two alcoholic beverages a week.

Yes. Diabetics are more susceptible to oral disease for many reasons. Diabetics heal slower, are immune compromised and take many medications that reduce the effectiveness of saliva.

Sucralose is added to Bios Life™ to give it a pleasant orange taste. And some people have asked me why bioslife is sweet to taste and is it safe if they have high blood sugar levels. Sucralose, a low-calorie sweetener, is the sweetening ingredient used worldwide in more than 4,000 food, beverage and nutritional products.

The Zone is safe for both type I and type II diabetics. Type II diabetics will likely have much improved blood sugar control by following the ZonePerfect Nutrition Program. All diabetics should be in close contact with their physicians as they embark on the ZonePerfect Nutrition Program. Type I diabetics will likely see their insulin dosage greatly reduced almost immediately and should be working closely with a health care professional.

Diabetes is a systemic condition that affects many organs and systems in the body. One of the first places where the effects of diabetes are seen is in the feet. This is due to the fact that the feet have the poorest circulation in the body due to both the effects of gravity causing the blood to pool in the feet and also because the feet are the furthest away from the heart of any structure in the body.

BarleyLife is a whole food supplement, very similar to juiced green vegetables. There are no known adverse effects associated with BarleyLife and blood sugar levels. If you consume green vegetables and complex carbohydrates such as pasta (maltodextrin is a complex carbohydrate) with no adverse effects, then you should be able to take BarleyLife. If you have concerns, we encourage you to consult your health practitioner.

Diabetics, in consultation with their doctor, eat a diet based on the Food Exchange List. This means being able to make choices from several different categories in a strictly controlled manner.

Patients that experience higher than normal levels of blood sugar can lose sensation in their feet, particularly a sensation to pain.12 Often, you may not even be aware of a problem because of a lack of feeling in your feet. This is why your podiatric physician will recommend that you check your feet daily.
