Most people think the advice of "eat low GI and low GL foods, keep your insulin and blood sugar levels well known to you and your doctor, and exercise regularly" are all you can do to keep your Type 2 diabetes in check. And really, if those things were all you ever did, you would probably never experience any but the most mild symptoms of this problem. No longer is diabetes the terrible killer it once was, and hundreds of thousands of people will probably live to a reasonably healthy, ripe old age in spite of having it. However, there is one more thing you can do, that will actually have a seriously positive impact on your efforts to grow healthier.
Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Will Help Do The Trick: This thing (which is probably starting to sound like a big secret), is almost too easy. And while there have been few scientific studies proving it one way or the next, there is extensive anecdotal evidence that has come out of the middle-aged community (who frequently suffer from Type 2 diabetes), saying that it works. The trick is, buy fresh fruits and vegetables, and eat them as a normal part of your day. One way you can do this is to buy and use a pulverizer, then freeze the pulverized stuff that you aren't immediately going to use. While it might sound obvious that fresh fruits and vegetables keep you healthier than the canned stuff (to say nothing of all the synthetic garbage most people eat), too often knowing and doing are two different things.
Canned Vegetables: Believe it or not, there are tons of differences between canned vegetables and fresh ones. For one thing, the salt content of anything canned is likely to be far higher than that of fresh produce... cans are designed to last a long time if need be. But unless you're living in a fallout shelter in the aftermath of a nuclear attack, you really don't need to be indulging in (or maybe subjecting yourself to), the second-rate taste (and high levels of salt, lead and other impurities), which are common in canned veggies.
Fresh Is Best: You may have noticed lead made an appearance. It's just one of many things that tend to come out of countries with less stringent regulations on what can go in their gasoline. Keep in mind that what goes into the air eventually gets into the soil and plant life... and into you, if you eat it. You don't even need to buy "organic" produce, because there is no legal requirement for anything. Furthermore, there has never been a study saying that organic is better than normal growing techniques. But remember that fresh, properly washed fruits and veggies are the best for you and your Type 2 diabetes control.
