[www.keralites.net] Types of Diabetes

There are 2 main types of diabetes

Most of the symptoms of diabetes are the same for type 1 and type 2 diabetes,
although there are differences in the way they develop.
Although US scientists have discovered a type 3 diabetes, it is still undergoing
further research.

Type 1
In type 1 diabetes the signs and symptoms are usually very obvious and can develop quickly.
A common indicator of the presence of type 1 diabetes is a condition called ketoacidosis,
which occurs when acid compounds (ketones) form in the blood. If left untreated,
ketoacidosis can result in extremely serious complications and even prove fatal.

There is also a sub-type of type 1 diabetes called Brittle Diabetes

Type 2
Type 2 diabetes appears mainly in people over the age of 40.
However, signs and symptoms can develop at such a slow rate that people may not
recognise they are ill for some time. In addition, some people with type 2 diabetes
do not develop any symptoms if their blood glucose level is not too high.

The three major symptoms of diabetes are:
Polyuria (frequent urination)
Polydipsia (Increased thirst and fluid intake)
Polyphagia (Increased appetite)

Other common symptoms of the two forms of diabetes include:
Sudden weight loss
Blurred vision
Tingling or numbness in hands or feet
Lack of energy/constant fatigue
Very dry skin
Sores and wounds that take a long time o heal
Skin infections
Genital itching or regular episodes of thrush
Cramps

Those who think they might have diabetes, or experience any of these symptoms,
must visit their Doctor for diagnosis. To help determine whether a person is diabetic or not,
a doctor will carry out a routine urine test to see if excess glucose is present and a blood test
that measures the level of glucose in the blood.

Early treatment will help relieve the symptoms and also reduce the chances of
developing serious health problems.

Type 1:
Type 1 diabetes, also known as insulin-dependent diabetes, develops
when the body is unable to produce any insulin.
This type of diabetes is also referred to as early-onset diabetes because
it usually occurs before the age of 40, often in the teenage years.

Type 1 diabetes is the least common of the two main diabetes types
and accounts for only 5 – 15% of all people with diabetes.

Type 2:
Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body is able to produce some insulin,
but not enough for it to function properly, or when the cells in the body
do not react to insulin - known as insulin resistance.

This type of diabetes is far more common than type 1 diabetes and accounts for
85 - 95% of all people with diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes is often associated with obesity. Obesity-related diabetes is sometimes
referred to as Maturity Onset Diabetes, or adult-onset diabetes, as it is more common in
older people, usually over the age of 40.

However, people of South Asian and African-Caribbean descent can develop the disease after
the age of 25. Furthermore, more children are now being diagnosed with the condition,
some as young as seven.

Gestational Diabetes
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a type of diabetes that develops in around
2 to 5% of all pregnancies.
GDM occurs because the body has less ability to produce enough insulin to meet the
extra needs of pregnancy.
In some women, the condition may have developed before the pregnancy.
Also visit: Gestational diabetes

This type of diabetes occurs more frequently in women with a family history of diabetes,
over the age of 25, part of a minority race and women that are overweight or obese.

Despite disappearing once pregnancy is over, GDM leaves women
with a higher risk of later developing type 2 diabetes.

What are the symptoms?
In most cases, gestational diabetes has no external symptoms and is detected
through screening.
Only rarely do the classic symptoms of diabetes appear:
excessive thirst,
frequent urination and
increased appetite.

However, these are also common symptoms in normal pregnancy.

Diagnosis
An Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) is used to diagnose GDM.
An OGTT involves a blood test before breakfast, then again two hours
after a glucose drink.
Forum discussion on Glucose Tolerance Tests

Other specific diabetes types
Other types of diabetes can result from specific genetic syndromes,
surgery, drugs, malnutrition, infections, and other illnesses.

Such types of diabetes account for around 1 to 2% of all diagnosed cases of diabetes.

[www.keralites.net] TOP 10 ALKALINE FOODS

TOP 10 ALKALINE FOODS

Acids are mostly used for home cleaning and certainly your stomach is not your kitchen sink. The modern diet, which is greatly influenced by today's hyped up media and enslaving consumerism, is very acidic. Has there been any ad on TV, in magazines or on the internet that encourages buying vegetables and fruits? No, because they all push-sell packed or bottled products that do not match the natural processes in our body. Enterprising and consumerism has gone overboard in destroying our health.
Everything, living or non-living, is either acidic or alkaline. However, humans are creatures made to consume alkaline foods and stand as an alkaline organism in the food chain. Our blood's pH level is pretty much determined by the food we eat. And with our blood being non-alkaline, or simply, acidic, our body will poorly perform and will have difficulty in resisting the harsh effects of oxidation and disease-inflicting viruses.
Here are the Top 10 Alkaline Foods that will give your mind and body more health and energy:
Top 10: Avocados, Bananas (ripe), Berries, Carrots, Celery, Currants, Dates, Garlic.
These foods are very high in antioxidants. They have a pH value of 8.0. They chemically react to acidic foods of pH 5.0 and elevate them near the alkaline levels. Berries, dates and especially garlic have special properties that regulate blood pressure as well.
Top 9: Apples (sweet), Apricots, Alfalfa sprouts.
These ones are super digestible foods, which are high in fiber and have a pH value of 8.0. They are also rich in enzymes that are helpful in maintaining the body's hormonal balance. Surely, an apple a day keeps the doctor away! Don't forget to include apricots though. For those who do not know, Alfalfa sprouts are those sprouting seeds of beans that are commonly mixed in salads and sandwiches.
Top 8: Grapes (sweet), Passion fruit, Pears (sweet), Pineapple, Raisins, Umeboshi plum, Vegetable juices.
At a pH of 8.5, this group is also high in antioxidant and vitamins A, B and C. Grapes, raisins and plums are blood-regulating, which lowers blood pressure and risks of getting heart disease. Pineapple, on one hand, is rich in L-Carnitine, which uses body fat as an energy source and is good for trimming that growing waistline. Vegetable juices, on the other hand, are high in iron and good for cellular detoxification.
Top 7: Chicory, Kiwifruit, Fruit juices.
They have natural sugar that doesn't form acidic compounds during digestion. Rather, these foods have alkaline-forming properties that give more energy to the body.. Still at a pH level of 8.5, this group is rich in flavonoids, a chemical compound in natural foods that have antioxidant properties. Kiwi fruit even has higher Vitamin C content than oranges. Chicory, a bitter-tasting close relative of the lettuce, also has insulin that supports the pancreas and aids the body in preventing diabetes.
Top 6: Watercress, Seaweeds, Asparagus.
With a pH level of 8.5, this group is unique as a powerful acid reducer. Watercress, for example, is called the natural super food. It is the first leaf vegetable consumed by human beings and is commonly prepared as part of a healthy salad. It is best eaten raw and it contains lots of iron and calcium like seaweeds. Asparagus is even more special for its highest content of asparagines, an amino acid important to the nervous system.
Top 5: Limes, Mango, Melons, Papaya, Parsley.
This food group has a pH of 8.5 and is best at cleansing the kidneys. Papaya is even the healthiest laxative that promotes defecation and colon cleansing. Parsley, the most popular herb, is the best dirt sweeper of the intestines when taken raw. It is also a diuretic, which is necessary in cleaning the kidneys. Limes, mangoes and melons are vitamin-rich fruits that are alkaline-forming during digestion.
Top 4: Cantaloupe, Cayenne (Capsicum).
The group with the most alkaline reactive properties among the foods with the pH of 8.5, they are high in enzymes needed by the endocrine system. Cayenne has antibacterial properties and is also high in Vitamin A, which is essential in fighting free radicals that causes stress and illnesses. Cantaloupes, a relative of melons, is very low in sugar but high in fiber.
Top 3: Agar Agar (Organic Gelatin)
Still with a pH of 8.5, Agar Agar is a gelatin substitute made from seaweeds that is high in iron and calcium as well. It is very digestible and has the highest fiber content among all foods.
Top 2: Watermelon.
At a pH level of 9.0, Watermelon are very alkaline. Because of its high fiber and water content at 92% of its entire weight, watermelon is a mild diuretic and a great source of beta-carotene, lycopene and vitamin C. This thirst-quenching fruit is the most life and energy supporting food when used in a week-long fasting and colon cleansing.
Top 1: Lemons.
At the top of the list is the Amazing Lemon. With its electrolytic properties and a pH level of 9.0, lemons are considered the most alkalizing food. It is the most potent and most immediate relief for colds, cough, flu, heartburns, hyperacidity and other virus-related ailments. Lemons are natural antiseptic that disinfects and heals wounds. It is also the best liver tonic that detoxifies and energizes the liver.

[www.keralites.net] BEWARE OF ACIDIC FOODS

Beware these acidic foods in your diet!

If you're looking to cut down your body's acid levels to protect your teeth and improve your overall health, you're in luck. We've compiled a list of the top 10 most acidic foods on the market — some of which might surprise you.

1
Salad dressings

Many store-bought dressings have a high acid content. The good news? Pairing them with alkaline vegetables like lettuce will neutralize the negative effects they can have on your teeth.
2
Tomatoes
tomatoes
Most vegetables are only slightly acidic, but tomatoes (with all their seedy goodness) trigger acidic reactions in the body. So eat them with alkaline foods like pasta or bread.
3
Fruits
cherries
Blackberries, blueberries, cherries, grapes — all of these good-for-you fruits are highly acidic. Though they're harsh on your teeth, that doesn't mean you should stop eating them. Simply rinse your mouth with water after consumption to neutralize the acid they leave behind on your teeth.
4
Wine
wine
While wine is one of the more healthy alcohols someone can consume, the tannins in the beverage can cause acidity in the body. Always drink one glass of water for every glass of wine.
5
Soft drinks and carbonated beverages
soda
These beverages increase the amount of stomach acid your body produces, which can cause all sorts of problems. While you don't have to cut them from your diet entirely, reduce how many cans of pop you drink.
6
Coffee
coffee
Not only does coffee dehydrate your system (which can increase the body's acidity), but the beans are naturally acidic too. Make sure to enjoy your coffee with an acid-neutralizing cup of milk or cream.
7
Lemon juice
lemon
Lemons are highly acidic but also incredibly detoxifying and good for your body. The key is to dilute lemon with a neutral, alkaline substance like water.
8
Pickles
pickles
Most cured foods (meaning those preserved in vinegar) will be slightly more acidic than others, since vinegar is an acidic substance. So eat pickles in moderation.
9
Fruit juices
fruit juice
Whether freshly squeezed or store bought, many fruit juices are highly acidic. If you like to consume them in the morning or after a workout, neutralize a juice's acidic effects by watering it down or sipping on it through a straw.
10
Sweeteners
sugar
Although these items make some foods more palatable, processed sweeteners are likely to produce an acidic reaction in a woman's body.
