The average person gains 12 pounds during the holiday season. This can be a real problem if you have diabetes. Weight loss is suggested as a way to help keep blood glucose levels down and that can be tough to achieve during this time of the year. However, common sense and a few simple tips can help you keep that seasonal weight gain to a minimum. Here are the three most important things you can do to keep from gaining weight over the holidays.
Make time for exercise. It can be difficult to maintain your routine during the holiday season. If you can not get to the gym, try to compensate for that: take the stairs instead of the elevator; park your car further away from your destination; walk instead of driving; etc.
Pay attention to your food intake. Evaluate what is being served at parties and make sure you load our plate with small portions of the things you really want to eat. If you can get mashed potatoes any time, save space for something you only get seasonally. And do not pass up your veggies! Eat smart, not mindlessly.
Socialize. You can cut your caloric intake by talking more than eating. If you are engaged in a gripping conversation you are more likely to eat fewer calories.
Holiday weight is no fun for anyone, but can be particularly problematic if you have diabetes. Weight loss may not be a realistic goal during this time period, but you should strive to keep your weight steady. This will help keep your glucose levels at manageable levels, and keep you feeling well and in the holiday spirit.
Minding your glucose levels is of the utmost importance for people with diabetes. Weight loss needs to be on the mind of these people all the time. Following these simple steps and you can be well on your way to controlling your weight and keeping your diabetes in check. Click here for more diabetes weight loss tips.

HOME :: Health-and-Fitness / Diabetes Diabetes Type One Cure
It is known fact that there is Type I and Type II Diabetes and Hypoglycemic Effects of Selected Ingredients. But meanwhile, we will limit our discussion on Type 1 for the purposes of this study.
It is imperative, to find a lasting solution to diabetes mellitus; which is now burdensome to most nations of the world. Record has it that every 1 out 4 diabetes patients of the world is an Indian, meaning that Indians are mostly affected. I stood to be corrected. This does not mean that every other nation may not be affected, or has not been affected up to this particular reference brought under focus, and unless we resolutely resolve to remove the cause from casualties, definitely, we can not remove the casualties from the causes this time, since it the life that is to be salvaged. Due to the growing health burden of diabetes mellitus (diabetes), the diabetes group of people has three choices in find the solution:
1. on how to prevent diabetes;
2. cure diabetes;
3. take better care of people with diabetes, also;
4. To prevent demoralizing impediments to a halt or to the bearable minimal.
The four approaches are actively being pursued by the US Department of Health and Human Services, and the world at large.
To be precise the following two institutions had been on relentless efforts on preventive measures, namely;
1. National Institutes of Health (NIH) and
2. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
The NIH is not only involved in research in prevention but had established research to cure both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, especially type 1.
CDC focuses most of its programs on being sure that the proven science is put into daily perform for people with diabetes. If the researches and sciences have no meaningful impact in the life of diabetes, then the huge sum of money invested in to the researches, is just sent to the drain.
Cure to diabetes are being pursued from many perspectives:
They are classified thus:
1. Genetic manipulation (fat or muscle cells that don't normally make insulin have a human insulin gene inserted? Here is where, these "pseudo" islet cells are transplanted into diabetic patients with type 1 diabetes).
2. Pancreas transplantation
3. Islet cell transplet cells produce insulin method)
Every approach has a set of confrontations; these confrontations prevent immune negative response. The confrontations prevent a way of establishing adequate number of insulin cells; maintenance of cells to be lively and few other issues. However, improvement is being achieved in all quarters.

The Million dollar question now is that will successful islet cell transplantation spell the end of Type 1 diabetes for millions?
Record has it that a teacher received the islet cell transplanting and the transplantation has proved to have efficacy on Type 1.
A flourishing transplantation of islet cell-transplant procedure for Type 1 diabetes news has been carried by major dailies and journals of the world at large. The procedure is as now being referred to as Edmonton Protocol, ushers in a new era of hope for millions of people with Type 1 diabetes.
The University of Alberta initiated the clinical trails and the design of anti-rejection protocol was done by James Shapiro, M.D., director of the clinical islet transplant program.
The narrative modus operandi go away from previous attempts at islet cell transplant; this is because the use of a narrative steroid-free blend with three drugs to prevent rejection of the transplanted cells were employed, this process gives the impression to prevent the autoimmune diabetes from returning.
Further trails of the steroid-free procedure on other seven diabetic patient that have been living on use of 15 injections per day, had been set free from injections of insulin, effective the post transplantation.
Those who had received this transplantation worry no longer on what percentage of carbohydrates to take or observation of level of sugar is no longer an issue.
