Reasons to Consult with a Dietitian- Free Consultation Losing weight —and keeping it off—is elusive for many People. Part of it may be how imperceptibly we gain weight. While the conventional wisdom is that people put on weight during the holidays. What happens to the majority of us is something called ”the holiday creep.” This seasonal weight gain is just one pound for most people, but the majority don’t ever lose it, and that single pound, year after year, adds up. So, what to do? Fad diets and cleanses can be pricey, and the weight often piles back on as quickly as it came off. On the healthier end of the spectrum, registered dietitians are proven to help clients lose weight and maintain their health, but individualized attention also comes with a steeper fee And while a dietitian’s services can be expensive (anywhere from $100 to upward of $500), your insurance may foot the bill if you have certain medical conditions, like diabetes. if a person having too much weight with cor...

Diabetes is a disorder characterized by excess amount of blood glucose or blood sugar. This occurs due to lack of the hormone insulin in the body or because he insulin that is present in the body is not absorbed by the body.  Before your diabetes was diagnosed, you may have been more thirsty than usual. It is a good idea to avoid sugary drinks and fruit juices as a way of quenching thirst. They can put blood glucose levels up very high and very quickly, and can make you gain weight in the long term. Instead, drink water, sugar free and diet soft drinks. Tea and coffee are still OK to include, too. Avoid foods labelled ‘diabetic’ or ‘suitable for diabetics’. These foods contain similar amounts of calories and fat, and they can affect your blood glucose levels. They are usually more expensive and can have a laxative effect. Stick to your usual foods. If you want to have an occasional treat, go for your normal treats and watch your portions.   There are two types o...

This is a problem because you need insulin to take the sugar (glucose) from the foods you eat and turn it into energy for your body. You need to take insulin every day to live.      Type 2 diabetes – Your body does not make or use insulin well. You may need to take pills or insulin to help control your diabetes. Type 2 is the most common type of diabetes.      Gestational diabetes – Some women get this kind of diabetes when they are pregnant. Most of the time, it goes away after the baby is born. But even if it goes away, these women and their children have a greater chance of getting diabetes later in life. Take diabetes seriously.

Above-normal blood sugar linked to dementia There are many reasons to keep your blood sugar under control: protecting your arteries and nerves are two of them. Here’s another biggie: preventing dementia, the loss of memory and thinking skills that afflicts millions of older Americans. A study   published today in the   New England Journal of Medicine   shows that even in people without diabetes, above normal blood sugar is associated with an increased risk of developing dementia. This finding goes beyond previously seen links between diabetes and dementia. “It establishes for the first time, convincingly, that   there is a link between dementia and elevated blood sugars in the non-diabetic range,” says study author Dr. David Nathan, a Harvard Medical School professor and the director of the Diabetes Center and Clinical Research Center at Massachusetts General Hospital. Dr. Nathan teamed up with researchers across the country to look at blood sugar level...
