When the blood sugar is high the body converts the sugars to tryglyceride fat which is the fat that can clog ateries. It is important to pay attention to what kind of fats. Eliminate trans fats and limit saturated fats to 7% of your caloric intake. Everyone should know how many calories they should eat, whether they are on a diet or not. It is very important to have a diet with leafy greens and nuts and other sources of vitamin C, all the B's, D, E, zinc, etc. These help to naturally lower blood sugar and blood pressure. My type II diabetic dad just had open heart surgery for blockages over 70% in al 3 major heart arteries. He was the picture of health 5'8", 160 pounds, and active. His A1C was 7.4 and was having occassional heart pain. He went in for an angiogram and was pretty much prepped for surgery for the next day. Granted he may have genetics that predispose him to heart disease, but that is unknown. However, there are statistics that show diabetes leads to heart disease. This is a very complex disease and for the average person to try to figure out how a diabetic should eat can cause migraines (i know this from my experience) and increase your blood sugar from the stress involved with deciphering all the contradicting opinions...glycemic index, no-carb, low carb, 50% of diet carb. It isn't any surprise that people struggle with controlling their diabetes. I would love to go to one of those classes and see what they are saying as well.<br /> This is an amazing and important topic, thanks for addressing it and giving these great resources of information. You may also want to see what naturapathic medical doctors (having both M.D. and a PhD) have to say on the topic. They usually treat with food and vitamins.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9367921.post-90404383069972326232012-09-30T17:45:18.101-06:002012-09-30T17:45:18.101-06:00Excellent post, Amelia!
