Welcome to SugarFree.CMDCompany.com
Sugar free is one of the first hurdles a diabetic must overcome. Type 2 diabetes, diabetes mellitus, junior diabetes all require a sugar free diet. Without realizing it, you are probably ingesting more sugar than your body can accommodate. Managing your daily sugar levels is not just about being sugar free, but also about establishing a balance between medication and blood glucose levels. It is about reading the test strip, taking the medicine and more than anything else feeling healthy.
The recommended added sugar intake for a person on a 2000 calorie diet should be approximately 48 grams. This includes the sugar in prepared foods like soup, fruit juice, sodas, cereals, and frozen foods. These sugars include table sugar, sucrose, corn sugar, corn syrup, high-fructose corn syrup, honey, and other syrups, like molasses and maple syrup.
How do you control the sugar intake? You must become familiar with package labels. Learn to recognize the names of the “other sugars”.
Diabetes can affect the nerves in your feet and keep you from feeling injuries. It can also cause reduced blood flow. Poor blood flow can cause an otherwise simple cut on the foot to become infected. All skin breaks should be monitored to prevent this from happening.
You must communicate with your medical doctor and follow his/her instructions to develop a good balance for your individual needs. Everyone is different and only your doctor knows for sure what diet, exercise and medicine is best for your diabetic condition. Your doctor will instruct you on the use of the blood glucose monitor and what the reading should be for your age and other factors.
