<description><![CDATA[If you have diabetes, it is very important to have string beans (kidney bean or green been) on your menu. Did you know that? This legume family is just one of those foods that are really "anti-diabetes" or anti-diabetic. The hypoglycemic effect of this wonderful vegetable has been well publicized, but I think it would be helpful to revisit this topic now, especially as we approach the festivities and holiday seasons that drive us to let go of our dietary reins.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Any diabetic will tell you that it is not very easy to have good blood sugar control without medication and/or insulin, but what can we learn from those who have managed to maintain normal blood glucose levels for years, simply by choosing good habits in diet, exercise, and stress management?

<pubDate>Tue, 10 Aug 2010 09:46:05 -0500</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[When low carb foods are eaten as replacement for complex carbohydrate content or in order to limit total calorie intake, it may pose more of a danger to health than good in the long term. According to some medical research experts, diabetics and weight loss dieters should beware of these diets and adopt long term more wholesome health and dietary practices that will ensure not only the control of diabetes but its prevention.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Ever noticed how carb counting has become part of our eating experience? You are feeling the pain if you have to be concerned with how many grams of carbohydrates are in that 1/3 cup of pasta or rice on your plate. Since when has eating become so stressful? No other species count their calories except modern humans. The irony is that we never had so many metabolic diseases until we stopped eating right and now have to ration our food.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The diabetic meal plan is one of the first steps your doctor or dietitian will discuss with you regarding the treatment of diabetes. It seems there is a great effort by medical caregivers to avoid creating the potential "dietary shock" that may result when patients are told that they cannot eat their favorite foods any more.

<description><![CDATA[Reports about new treatments for diabetes keep popping up all the time and most people take this as "good news". There is always a need for developing new therapies because none of the existing unnatural interventions seem to help the body work naturally to combat this disease. These treatments seem just to "mask" symptoms of diabetes at best. We have done so well at keeping sick people alive, but far less in preventing them from getting sick in the first place.]]></description>
