EDITOR’S NOTE

Dear Readers, Summertime is here! If the long, sunny days and warmer weather have you feeling energized and ready to put a renewed focus on some of your health goals, do we have the issue for you! If you smoke, quitting may be a goal that’s high on your list. Smoking affects many aspects of your health, including diabetes management. And while kicking the habit can be very difficult, millions of Americans have quit smoking, so it can be done, and it’s definitely worth the effort. Get strategies for stopping and learn where to find help in “Kicking Butts” (page 42). Hands and feet are often taken for granted, but if you’re dealing with diabetes-related complications in these areas, you know how important they are for day-to-day functioning.

Clearing Up Carb Confusion Whether you’ve chosen to go the low-carb route or to incorporate carbohydrate foods in your eating plan, making sense of carbs can sometimes be tricky. Are they all the same when it comes to blood sugar management? And how do you choose “healthy” carbs? Let’s see if we can cut through some of this carb confusion. bit.ly/ClearCarbConfusion Summertime Skin Care Diabetes can affect just about any organ in the body, and the skin is no exception.

Ozempic Linked to Major Weight Loss in Obesity

A study has found that Ozempic (semaglutide), a drug for type 2 diabetes, may lead to substantial weight loss in obese people even if they don’t have diabetes—potentially offering a new way to help treat obesity. The research, published in The New England Journal of Medicine, was a clinical trial involving 1,961 participants, all of them adults. None of the participants had diabetes, and all of them were obese, with a body-mass index (a measure of weight that takes height into account) of 30 or higher. Participants were randomly assigned to take a once-weekly injection of either Ozempic or a placebo (inactive substance). All of the participants also took part in a lifestyle intervention program aimed at losing weight. After 68 weeks of treatment, members of the Ozempic group lost an average…

Diet With High GI Tied to Cardiovascular Disease

Eating foods with a high glycemic index is linked to a higher rate of major cardiovascular events—like heart attacks and strokes—as well as a higher rate of overall death, according to a new study published in The New England Journal of Medicine. A food’s glycemic index is a measure of how much it leads to an increase in blood glucose levels, on a scale of 0 to 100. Avoiding high-glycemic-index foods may be especially important for people with diabetes, who typically can’t produce enough insulin to adequately lower blood glucose in response to spikes caused by these foods. In the latest study, researchers looked at data from 137,851 participants, ages 35 to 70, who lived on five different continents. They were followed for an average of 9.5 years, during which there were…

WOMEN WITH T1D HAVE SHORTER REPRODUCTIVE WINDOW

Women with type 1 diabetes tend to have a shorter span of reproductive years than women without diabetes, according to a small new study published in the journal Menopause. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh looked at a group of 80 women with type 1 diabetes, all of whom were diagnosed as children between 1950 and 1980. Each had reached menopause by the time of the study, and none had received hormone replacement therapy during their menopausal transition. The researchers compared these women with another group of 178 women without diabetes who otherwise fit the same study criteria. Women with diabetes in the study were younger overall and more likely to be white, to have never smoked, and to have a lower body-mass index (BMI, a measure of weight that takes height…

WOMEN WITH T1D HAVE SHORTER REPRODUCTIVE WINDOW

Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that your body can’t digest, and its intake is linked to many health benefits. There are two types of fiber. Soluble fiber dissolves in water and can help lower your glucose levels and LDL (“bad”) cholesterol. Insoluble fiber does not dissolve in water and can help food move through your digestive system, thereby promoting bowel regularity. How much do you know about fiber? Take this quiz to find out! (Before changing your diet or considering supplements, consult with your healthcare provider to find out what is safe for you.) 1. True/False: Children and adults need 10 to 15 grams of fiber daily for good health. ○ True○ False 2. To ensure you get enough fiber, you should do which of the following? ○ A.

Retina Scan Results Tied to Cognitive Function in T1D

Finding ways to predict cognitive decline in people with diabetes would be welcome to many, especially if it were followed by interventions that might help people avoid cognitive changes. Unfortunately, predicting this decline isn’t always easy, and cognitive exams take considerable time and expense—and can have varying results depending on how a person is feeling that day and other factors that may affect results. But according to a new study, there may be a way to help predict cognitive decline in people with diabetes by administering a test that many people need and receive already—noninvasive retinal imaging scans of the eye. The study, published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, included 129 participants with type 1 diabetes who had the condition for at least 50 years. At a university hospital…

KIDNEY DISEASE OFTEN PROGRESSES QUICKLY WITH DIABETES

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) can be detrimental to quality of life in people who develop it, especially if the condition progresses rapidly. Not only does it typically require modifying your diet in ways that might seem strange, but also it can cause deep fatigue, loss of appetite and—in its later stages—requires either regular dialysis treatments or a kidney transplant. So, a new study on the progression of CKD in people with diabetes should raise some alarm bells, since it shows that in many people, the condition progresses rapidly in the months following their diagnosis. The new research, published in the Clinical Kidney Journal, notes that since CKD is a fairly common complication of type 2 diabetes, the growing number of people with type 2 means that CKD is also expected to rise.…

Brief, Frequent Exercise Breaks Can Help Blood Vessels: Study

A main reason exercise is so beneficial for people with diabetes is because they are at higher risk for heart disease and reduced vascular function than people without diabetes. (Vascular function is an indication of blood flow, of the diameter and tone of blood vessels, and of the health of a person’s arteries.) It’s no surprise that prolonged sitting is a risk factor in heart disease for everyone, not just people with diabetes, and in these pandemic times, many of us find ourselves sitting more than ever. According to the authors of the new study, because of “rapidly advancing technologies in workplaces, transportation and home entertainment, fewer opportunities exist for incidental activity, creating many contexts of daily life that are conducive to prolonged sitting.” So how do we counter the effect…

High Morning Glucose, Getting Rid of Diabetes

Q What causes blood glucose levels to rise in the early morning even if someone does not eat anything? What can be done to prevent this? A Some people fantasize about “diabetes fairies” that mess with their blood sugars while they sleep. While this may sound plausible, there is, in fact, a more scientific explanation: the actions of the liver. Everyone’s liver stores sugar and releases it into the bloodstream in small amounts throughout the day and night. This is meant to provide a steady source of energy for the body’s vital organs. In the early-morning hours, the liver tends to produce extra glucose in response to hormones produced as part of the sleep-wake cycle. It is the extra glucose produced by the liver that causes the glucose level to rise.…

Feeding Your Habit

Do you know people who do some type of workout every day, whether it’s walking, jogging, biking, weightlifting or something different? Did you ever wonder where they get the sheer willpower to force themselves to do it day in and day out? I’ll let you in on a little secret: It’s not just willpower—it’s habit. Willpower really comes into play when you’re trying to form a habit. Especially if you haven’t been active for a while, the hardest thing to do may be overcoming inertia—getting off the couch and moving. Once you’ve chosen an activity, such as walking, it’s well worth doing everything you can to reinforce that habit. Here are some tips for habit forming. HOW TO FORM A HABIT Try to do it every day, or at least several times a…

Feeding Your Habit

With the start of a new season, we can often feel motivated to adopt a habit we’ve been meaning to take up or to drop a habit that has been holding us back. When it comes to physical activity, we sometimes take the “go big or go home” approach, which often leaves us right back where we started—motionless. Although the goal is commendable, attempting to take our activity level from zero to 60 is likely to lead to burnout due to often unrealistic expectations. I invite you to reconsider what it means to go big and perhaps instead consider an alternative: go broad. In other words, aim for a broader vision of what it means to work out and a broader array of movements. Going broad with your movement goals can…

Choose Your Words Wisely

Weight loss—the journey to a healthier version of ourselves—can feel overwhelming at the best of times. Add diabetes and its specific nutritional requirements to the mix, and the task becomes even more daunting. Perhaps one of the biggest battles, however, is choosing our words wisely. Yes, our language can have a huge impact on whether our weight-loss efforts are a success or not. When you think about “dieting,” for instance, what are the first thoughts that come to mind? Restricting your calories? Bad foods? Avoiding social gatherings? Cravings? How about the cheat meal or snack you treat yourself to on the weekends? These are just some examples of how the words we use create an association between dieting, weight loss and “doing without.” Using such words means we are entering a positive journey (better health) with a…

Choose Your Words Wisely

Visit the cooking oil aisle of your local grocery store, and you will find a wide variety of oils from nuts, seeds and vegetables, each with distinct flavors and cooking properties. Some oils can handle the heat when cooking better than others. Smoke point is the temperature at which oil starts to break down. In general, the best oils for high-temperature cooking (or those that have a high smoke point) are safflower, sunflower, peanut, soy and canola oil. Plant oils are rich in healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. When used in place of saturated fats, these heart-healthy fats may help reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke by improving blood fat levels and decreasing blood pressure and inflammation. Use plant oils instead of solid fats, such as butter, shortening, lard…

Hitting Refresh

The winter months were challenging for many people, with the COVID-19 virus continuing to impact communities around the world. In the midst of this dire season, the 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans were released, and the timing really couldn’t have been better. Collectively, we all may need a little refreshing of our eating habits, and the guidelines provide some science-based suggestions for how we can make the most of our next meal or snack. This column explores how the new guidelines impact the three s’s—sugar, sodium and sustenance—and provides some tips on making the most of the summer harvest.

Type 1 Diabetes & Celiac Disease

Adjusting to life with type 1 diabetes—an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas—comes with its own lessons and trials. In some cases, people with type 1 diabetes may be diagnosed with a second autoimmune disease, such as celiac. For those with type 1 diabetes, the chances of developing celiac disease range from 2% to 16%, compared to 0.3% to 1% in the general population. What is celiac disease? Celiac is a genetic autoimmune condition that causes damage in the small intestine when gluten (a protein found in wheat, barley, rye and triticale [a cross between wheat and rye]) is eaten. This process leads to an inability to absorb the nutrients the body needs to thrive. If you have a parent, child or…

Tried-and-True Weight-Loss Strategies

The importance of diet for diabetes self-management isn’t just about better glucose management. The right eating plan will also help you maintain a healthy weight, which, in turn, can help prevent the development of diabetes-associated complications. But what if you need to lose weight first before you can think about maintaining a healthy weight? Here are some tried-and-tested methods to help you. 1 REDUCE CALORIES BY FOCUSING ON NUTRIENT QUALITY. With so many fad diets, it is easy to get caught up in the hype. However, research has found that fad diets rarely work in the long term. Focusing on the quality of nutrients in your meals and total calories consumed is a more effective approach for long-term weight loss. In fact, choosing nutrient-rich, high-quality foods is an easy way to consume…

The Diabetes Plate Method

The Diabetes Plate Method can help you to create a healthy balance of carbohydrates, vegetables and proteins. All you need is a medium-sized dinner plate, approximately 9 inches in diameter. STEP 1 Fill half your plate with vegetables that are low in starch, such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, celery, carrots, mushrooms, leafy greens, asparagus, lettuce, spinach, eggplant, cucumber or squash. These vegetables are high in nutrients and won’t elevate your blood sugar levels, so they are a healthy way to get essential nutrients and fill up on fiber. STEP 2 Fill a quarter of your plate with lean protein, such as fish, chicken, shellfish (e.g., shrimp, scallops, clams), lean beef or lean pork. You can also get lean protein from plant sources such as tofu and tempeh, beans, lentils, nuts and nut…

Don’t Drink Your Calories

Depending on the flavor, a 16-ounce Grande Starbucks Frappuccino averages 300-plus calories, while a glass of wine can contain 100 calories or more. It’s easy to overlook the calories you consume through beverages like these, but if you are making healthy food choices and still drinking a lot of sugary drinks, it will sabotage your weight-loss goals. Fortunately, since liquid calories don’t contribute to feelings of satiety, reducing them will not cause feelings of deprivation or hunger. You can reduce your liquid calories by substituting sugary beverages with water and healthier alternatives. You could even add some fresh lemon or raspberries to your water to add some flavor to it.…

EXERCISE FOR BEGINNERS

It’s been said that exercise would be a wonder drug if they could put it in a bottle. It can prevent or even reverse heart disease and type 2 diabetes, fight depression and slow the progression of arthritis. For people who don’t exercise, the most obvious question is, “How do I start?” Check with your doctor It’s a good idea to check with your doctor and get a physical examination before you start a new exercise plan, especially if you’re 45 years of age or older or have health problems such as heart disease, diabetes, arthritis or anything that could increase your risk of injury. Your doctor may be able to suggest which activities are best for you and which ones to avoid. Most people can do some form of exercise regardless…

What Is HIIT and Should I Do It?

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is all the rage in gyms and health clubs, but you may be wondering exactly what it is, what its specific benefits are, and whether it is safe and advisable for people with diabetes. HIIT involves short bouts (about 30 seconds) of high-intensity aerobic exercise, such as jumping jacks, squats or burpees, alternating with equally short periods of rest, for a total duration of under half an hour. Research shows that HIIT has basically the same benefits as moderate-intensity exercise, such as brisk walking or leisurely swimming or biking, in terms of weight loss, blood cholesterol levels, cardiorespiratory disease and the overall risk of cardiovascular disease. Yet HIIT can offer these benefits in less time, which could make it an attractive option for people who have difficulty…

The Four Components of Total Fitness

Ideally, any exercise routine should address the four basic components of fitness—cardiovascular activity, strength, flexibility and balance. Cardiovascular activity: Cardiovascular activity refers to activity that raises your heart rate, and it’s important for losing weight and keeping your heart healthy. Some excellent forms of cardiovascular activity include walking, hiking, jogging, running, biking and swimming. To reap the benefits, you should shoot for at least 20 to 30 minutes at least four times a week. Strength: Strength training has a number of benefits. Being strong helps us stay active and independent. For people with diabetes, building muscle helps burn calories, aiding in weight loss, and it increases the body’s glucose uptake, helping to keep blood glucose levels in the normal range. When you are starting out, experts recommend exercises that use your own body…

It’s Picnic Time!

Are you ready to dine al fresco while basking in the sunshine? Time to plan a picnic! Whether you choose a shady spot with a breathtaking view of your local lake or the scenery of a tree-lined park, picnics are a fun way to enjoy a delicious meal with family and friends. TIPS FOR A PERFECT PICNIC Plan, portion and pack. Prepare a written checklist of everything you need for your picnic. Include a list of your diabetes essentials (such as blood glucose monitoring supplies, medications and a fast-acting source of carbohydrate, like glucose tablets). Checklists are a great way to unclutter your thoughts and “take the remembering out of remembering.” Use a checklist on an app, smartphone, or pen and paper to ensure that you have everything you need for a…

It’s Picnic Time!

• Bring along a meat thermometer and stay out of the bacteria growth danger zone. Keep cold food below 40°F using ice or cool packs, and hot food at 140°F or warmer. • When traveling to the picnic, keep bags and coolers inside the air-conditioned car and not in the trunk, where the temperature can heat up quickly. • Separate raw foods, especially meats and poultry, from cooked food to avoid cross-contamination. Wrap raw meats tightly to prevent any dripping. • Pack beverages and food in separate coolers. The less often the coolers are opened, the better the temperature will be maintained. • Thoroughly wash your cooler (with warm water and soap) and wash reusable bags before you pack up for your picnic. • Pack your food in clean, tightly sealed containers. • Wash fruits and…

Diabetes Supplies

During the hot summer months, you want to make sure you protect your diabetes supplies and equipment. Heat can have a negative effect on items such as your oral medication, insulin, blood glucose meter and test strips. • Keep insulin pens and vials as well as glucagon at the correct temperature, out of direct sunlight, and in a cool environment. NEVER store insulin next to a frozen ice pack, as that may damage the insulin. • Check out medication inserts for specific heat thresholds. • Keep blood glucose meters in a cool, dry place, not inside the car where they would be exposed to extreme heat. • Keep test strips cool and out of direct sunlight. Keep the cap on the canister closed.…

Taking Steps Toward Healthy Feet

Foot care is an important part of managing your diabetes. In fact, keeping an eye on your feet can help prevent major problems, including amputation. “In the diabetic patient, there are many complications involving the lower limbs,” says Diane Koshimune, DPM, a podiatrist at Kaiser Permanente in California. “The feet are important in our day-to-day lives. If something happens to them, it can impact your ability to walk, to get around, to work.” Nerve damage causes complications Poorly controlled diabetes can cause a number of complications. One of the main concerns is nerve damage to the feet, a condition called diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). It is estimated that around 50% of people with type 2 diabetes and 20% of those with type 1 diabetes will develop DPN. Depending on which nerves are affected,…

Is Intermittent Fasting Right for Me?

If you’ve been looking for an eating plan to help you lose weight and keep your glucose in check, you’ve no doubt come across many different options. One approach that’s been increasing in popularity recently is intermittent fasting (IF)—you may have heard about this and wondered what it’s all about and if it’s right for you. WHAT ARE FASTING AND INTERMITTENT FASTING? Fasting is totally avoiding foods and sometimes beverages for a certain period of time. People may fast for a variety of reasons, including for health and religious purposes. IF is an eating plan that alternates between fasting and feasting periods. There are three different categories of IF. Alternate-day fasting This approach includes periods of refraining from food and caloric beverages, followed by days of eating. For example, the 5:2 fasting method involves…

Diabetes Hand Disorders

You may have heard that diabetes can affect just about every organ system in the body. It can also affect a part of the body that you normally don’t think about—and maybe take a little bit for granted: your hands! We rely on our hands to do so many things: Holding and carrying items, writing, typing and texting, playing games, driving a car, holding hands and patting our pets are just some of the daily tasks that require functioning hands. Our hands contain 27 bones; the wrist alone has eight bones. In addition, our hands are made up of muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves and joint capsules. The hands can have numerous problems, including sprains, fractures, tendonitis, arthritis and dislocation. If you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, you may also be…
