Roof Raking
Like all of us in the Northeastern US, we've had a lot of snow this winter. And snow means icicles on the roof unless you use a huge long pole with a roof rake attached to it and scrape off as much of the snow as you can.Today I managed to do that while balancing on a piece of plywood, so I didn't plunge into the snow up to my knees. And the results...see for yourself.I started with my blood sugar at around 150 mg/dL (around 8.3 mmol/L) and after finishing the work, my blood sugar was

Insight into The Prediabetes Epidemic
A recent headline blares that fully one third of people in the U.S. have "prediabetes." This sounds dire, because the implication is that it is only a matter of time until one third of the population has full-fledged diabetes.In fact, it is highly unlikely that will ever happen. The incidence of full-fledged diabetes has remained around 9% in the entire population for decades and most of the small recent rise in diagnoses is attributable to the lowering of the blood sugar level at which diabete

Perhaps the most difficult change you will have to make in a diet for diabetes type 2 is avoiding white and wheat flour products such as bread. Brown bread may look like a healthy choice, but not all brown breads are whole grain. Most “whole wheat” (brown) bread produced in the United States is highly processed and made with enough brown flour to make it look brown.
