Understanding the Connection: Carbohydrates, High Blood Sugar, and Diabetes
Overview
The relationship between carbohydrates, high blood sugar, and diabetes is pivotal. Carbohydrates provide the energy or fuel your body needs to function. However, understanding their impact on blood sugar is crucial, especially for those managing diabetes.
Carbohydrates and Blood Sugar
Carbohydrates are classified into two types: simple and complex. Simple carbohydrates, found in foods like fruit sugar, corn syrup, and table sugar, consist of single-sugar molecules. Complex carbohydrates comprise three or more linked sugars. Both types contribute to blood sugar levels, which pose challenges for diabetics. By understanding this connection, better diabetes management is possible.
A Personal Journey
As a type 2 diabetic, I manage my condition with medication and diet. Controlling blood glucose is vital to reduce risks of complications such as heart disease, neuropathy, kidney disease, and even early death.
Four years ago, my A1C levels began to rise. Despite increased medication, my blood sugars were erratic. I experienced high readings at night and hypoglycemic episodes overnight.
Discovering the Atkins diet, I adopted a low-carbohydrate, high-protein approach. This stabilized my blood sugar as I reduced my intake of carbohydrates, which had been elevating my levels. While conventional advice often emphasizes complex carbohydrates, I found that foods like bread, potatoes, and cereals also impacted my blood sugar.
However, the Atkins diet wasn't perfect for me?"I experienced constant diarrhea and had to stop after a few months. My blood sugars once again became unstable.
Finding the Right Approach
Armed with knowledge about the carbohydrate-blood sugar connection, I sought a new program aligned with low-carbohydrate principles. Recently, during research for my diabetes-focused website, I discovered a suitable approach, which I detail online.
Advice for Diabetics and Pre-diabetics
To manage diabetes effectively, research is key. Understand how complex carbohydrates affect your blood sugar and challenge diabetes management. Knowledge allows you to find a diet or system to safely bring your blood sugar under control.
Remember, excessive carbohydrates, whether simple or complex, elevate blood sugar levels. For diabetics, this means the body struggles with the overload.
