Metformin – Treatments for Type 2 Diabetes

February 6, 2012 in Health & Fitness

People with Type 2 diabetes have many different drugs on the market that help to control their blood sugar levels. Metformin (Glucophage) is a very popular oral medication for Type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes. Metformin controls high blood sugar levels, which helps to prevent nerve damage, kidney damage, blindness, circulatory problems, and sexual function problems (including incontinence).

Metformin reduces the amount of glucose your liver releases between meals. Metformin Because of this action, Metformin does not cause low blood glucose (hypoglycemia). Metformin may slightly reduce cholesterol, and triglycerides. On the plus side, Metformin may cause a little weight loss. Metformin belongs to a family of Type 2 diabetes oral medication called Biguanides.

Normally, Metformin is taken as the only Type 2 oral medication. However, Metformin is also sold as a combination pill. This combination combines the reduced glucose release with the effect of the other drup. The FDA has approved 3 types of combination pills. The other drug in the pill may cause low blood sugar:

1. Glipizide+ Metformin – Stimulates pancreas to release insulin. May cause low blood sugar.
2. Glyburide+ Metformin – Stimulates the pancreas to release insulin. May cause low blood sugar.
3. Rosiglitazone+ Metformin – increases insulin sensitivity in cells. May cause low blood sugar as well as water retention and weight gain?

What to know if you are new to Metformin

If you have just started taking Metformin (or are getting ready to start taking Metformin), then you should be aware of the following facts:

• Metformin is generally taken twice a day. Try to take it at the same time each day – with breakfast and your evening meal.
• Be sure to drink plenty of fluids while on this medication.
• You may increase the dosage as side effects decrease. Initial side effects generally include stomach issues, but they quickly go away.
• If you experience effects of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels), first test your blood, then contact your doctor immediately. If you are taking a combination pill, the other drug may be the cause.
• You should take this medication each day to feel the effects. It generally takes up to two weeks for Metformin to begin working.

What to keep in mind when taking Metformin as part of a combination pill:

1. When taking Metformin in combination with other drugs that increase the release of insulin or increase the cells’ sensitivity to insulin, it is important to always have a source of glucose available. Many individuals on combination pills need to carry diabetes supplements with them so that they can quickly increase their blood sugar levels.

2. Metformin users should also be sure to get regular exercise and eat a balanced diet, which includes regular meals, so that they can maintain a more even blood sugar level throughout the day.

Metformin Side Effects

There are a few side effects of Metformin that you should be aware of, including:

Lactic acidosis: Rarely occurs in diabetics with poor liver or kidney function. Symptoms of lactic acidosis include: fatigue, chills, cold skin, muscle pain, difficulty breathing, and irregular heartbeat. Lactic acidosis can be fatal in some cases.
• Nausea, upset stomach, diarrhea, metallic taste in the mouth (these symptoms generally only occur in the first few weeks of taking Metformin)
• Fast heartbeat
• Cold hands and feet
• Change in appetite, often decreased appetite
• Blurred vision
• Dizziness

Contact your doctor immediately if you have any negative side effects associated with Metformin use.

Porcelain dinnerware setPorcelain dinnerware setIrrespective of information, you might have received or read somewhere, weight loss means eating less than your current quantity of food. How much less you will have to eat would depend on how much you are currently eating versus the ideal quantity for your age, gender and activity level. The quantity of food we eat is measured in calories. According to USDA, an adult male requires roughly 2,300 calories per day. Irrespective of your current quantity, an ideal healthy eating out and weight loss diet plan will work out a menu that provides you roughly 2,000 to 2,100 calories per day. In addition to the slight deficit in the calorie count, a good weight loss plan will also require you to exercise out about 300 calories per day. This will lead to a short fall of about 500 calories per day. Your body will meet the short fall by burning fat and you end up losing weight.

A good weight loss programs is also flexible

If you exercise or workout out more than 300 calories per day, then you need to consume additional food equivalent to the excess calories because the ideal calorie deficit should not exceed 500 per day otherwise you will end up feeling weak and tired. A good weight loss diet program therefore makes allowances for extra exercises and accordingly increases the quantity of food to be consumed so that the daily calorie deficit stays steady at around 500.

Calories Count

How many calories in a banana – There are 89 calories in a banana per 100g? Which is 4.45% of daily recommended allowance (RDA) for women (2000 Calories) and 3.56% of daily recommended allowance (RDA) for men (2500 Calories)?

How many calories in a kiwi – There are 61 calories in Kiwi per 100g? This is 3.05% of daily recommended allowance (RDA) for women (2000 Calories) and 2.44% of daily recommended allowance (RDA) for men (2500 Calories?)

How many calories in Butter – There are 717 calories in Butter per 100g? Which is 35.85% of daily recommended allowance (RDA) for women (2000 Calories) and 28.68% of daily recommended allowance (RDA) for men (2500 Calories)?

How many calories in Green Beans – There are 31 calories in Green Beans per 100g. This is 1.55% of daily recommended allowance (RDA) for women (2000 Calories) and 1.24% of daily recommended allowance (RDA) for men (2500 Calories).

Tips for losing weight plan also includes portion detection technique

Try this out – put your usual quantity of food on your plate, put a small quantity (a spoonful or forkful) of food in your mouth and chew slowly. Talk to someone at the table or if you are alone, read the newspaper. Idea is to slow down the rate at which you fork food into your mouth. As you chew, try to identify the various flavors in the food. If you are a foodie, try to figure out how the food might have been made (assuming you did not make it yourself). All the time you are chewing watch out for the “I am full” signal – it will come sooner than you expect. When it does, look at the food in your healthy food plate. You will probably find that you have eaten about a third of the usual quantity. The food you have eaten should be taken to be your serving portion size. From the next meal onwards, ensure that only food equal to your new portion sizes of food in put on your plate. Remember that the calorie figure of 2,000 given by the USDA is not set in stone. The a ctual calorie figure will vary from individual to individual. The experiment we mentioned here is one of the most effective techniques of detecting your potion size. Incorporate your new portion size into your healthy eating recipes for weight loss.

Once you are used to eating only food in accordance to your new portion size, even if you are in a restaurant, you can serve yourself only food that matches your new portion size. Leave or parcel the excess food.

Best Results For nutrition Healthy Foods!

Porcelain dinnerware setPorcelain dinnerware set

When we are young, we think we can eat anything. Actually, this could not be further away from the truth. The truth is that, when we are young, our arteries and organs are new and performing at their peak. As children or young adults, instead of healthy eating habits we often prefer to eat junk food. To a certain extent, if our lifestyle is very active then the fats in the food are utilized by conversion to energy. However, even in the case of highly active youngsters, not all the facts are utilized. A major portion begins to accumulate. However, since our internal organs and arteries are still young and robust, the damage does not show up. As we continue our unhealthy healthy eating meals for a healthy diet, the sludge keeps accumulating and one fine morning we end up at the hospital where the doctors are pleased to diagnose you with a critical blockage or kidney or liver damage. Of course being humans, we all want to indulge in modern day delicacies. The occasional indulgence does no harm. If however, we love to eat ice cream, burgers and French fries every day or even four times a week that would be sufficient to cause significant damage in due course.

The problem with unhealthy food eating habits is that it packs too much energy. If you fill a car with gas beyond its capacity, the gas simply overflows. In the case of humans however, the body stores the excess energy as fat. The more we eat, the more it stores. Since the human skin is elastic, as our internal ‘store’ fills up, the skin stretches and we become obese. The only way to utilize these massive quantities of stored energy is to use it for some physical activity i.e. exercises. This however, is easier said than done. Two scoops of plain vanilla ice cream packs about 350 calories, calories in a banana 2500 have. To utilize 350 calories so it is not added to your existing fat content, you would have to run approximately 8 miles! Most ordinary non-athletic folks would find that impossible. It is therefore better and easier to adopt a healthy food eating habit than to indulge and sweat it out at the jogging track or in some gym.

Healthy eating menu are one that includes 30% vegetables, 25% fruit, 20% whole grains and pulses, 15% protein and 10% milk or milk products. As you can see, the bulk of your health food should come from vegetables and only 15% from meats.

One of the best ways to ensure you follow the food portion sizes is to utilize a portion control plates. These days, portion control plate are elegantly designed and made from porcelain china. Each 10-inch plate has a neat design that divides the plate into three segments for veggies and fruit, grains and proteins. Food portion plate are readily available at most crockery outlets or even online and are an elegant way to keep a control on quantity and quality of food we eat and to ensure we do not stray too far from our healthy food eating habits.

How Reflexology Helps in the Design of Diabetic Shoes

January 25, 2012 in Health & Fitness

The technique and science of making diabetic shoes relies heavily on Reflexology. Reflexology believes that every muscle and bone of the human body is intimately connected with the rest in such a manner that the entire body weight is superbly distributed. Reflexology derives part of its belief from ancient Chinese medicine which believes that the feet are amongst the most vital parts of the human skeleton and structure. Ancient Chinese medicine believes that different nerve points of the foot are intimately connected with the internal organs in our body. As we know, the human body is covered with a fine mesh of nerves. These nerves cover every square inch of the human body including the feet.

Since ancient times, Chinese have been using acupuncture and acupressure to cure simple things such as headaches to more complex diseases such as typhoid. Reflexology and ancient Chinese medicine believe that wearing the right footwear is extremely vital for adequate balance, comfort and to ensure the nerves are not squeezed. Towards this end, Chinese medicine and reflexology have mapped the nerves in our feet and have studied the contours of the human feet and how they are intimately connected with one another. This knowledge is used by manufacturers of diabetic shoes to ensure that the diabetic shoes they make, are not only the most comfortable, but are also safest for diabetics.

One of the frequent complaints of diabetics is lack of proper blood circulation and the tingling of the nerves. Diabetics therefore seek assistance from orthotics. One of the first things that orthotics do is secure the diabetic a good pair of diabetic shoes and diabetics socks. If you are buying diabetic shoes on your own, it is essential you buy branded diabetic shoes that have relied on reflexology for the design of these special shoes. Diabetic shoes that have incorporated reflexology into it, offer custom-made soles that come equipped with rubberized spikes. These rubberized spikes match the nerve or pressure points in your feet. As the individual nerve gets pressed, it stimulates the organ connected to that nerve and also improves blood circulation. Think of this reflexology based custom made shoes for diabetic as a system that works out the kinks in the human plumbing.

Diabetics need exercise – a lot more than normal people. When a diabetic uses diabetes socks to exercise, the more he or she walks wearing these custom made shoes, the more the circulation and better the feel good factor. Unlike initial stages when diabetic shoes used to look ugly, today men’s diabetic shoes are made in line with modern trends. They are trendy, and come in variety of shapes and sizes for home, office or party wear.

Diabetics can also order custom made reflexology based in-soles that can be used with your favorite pair of existing diabetes shoes. However, it always best to buy diabetic shoes because they follow the contours of your feet more closely and are likely to be more comfortable. Avoid cheap Chinese imitations. These are simply made from molds and use poor quality rubber-plastic mix that is likely to cause more damage than good. Only buy quality, branded diabetics shoes and in-soles.
