Latest Research Has Medical Experts Considering New Testing Guidelines for Type 2 Diabetes Patients

SAN DIEGO, CA, Nov 12 (MARKET WIRE) --
New research demonstrates that lowering post-meal blood sugar spikes
after meals is critical to avoiding serious health complications for
people concerned about managing their blood sugar, especially those
diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. As a result, medical experts are
reconsidering when and how they advise Type 2 diabetes patients to test
their blood sugar in order to best monitor the dangerous blood sugar
spike zone that typically occurs 30 to 45 minutes after meals.

According to recent studies conducted by a team of researchers at the
Baker International Diabetes Institute in Melbourne, controlling glucose
spikes is important to supporting cardiovascular health and could reduce
the risk of heart disease in patients with diabetes. In addition, research
published by the Journal of the American Medical Association found that
controlling glucose fluctuations after meals, during the "blood sugar
spike zone," can help prevent serious health complications, such as sight
impairment, heart disease or stroke.

"A challenge with controlling glucose spikes is that many doctors and
diabetes educators, as well as the American Diabetes Association,
recommend that patients typically test their blood sugar before meals and
then about two hours after meals, missing the critical 30-minute to
one-hour window when blood sugar levels are at their highest after
meals," explained President and Founder of Neuliven Health Dr. Lee Zhong,
M.D., Ph.D. "While it is not conventional wisdom to test blood sugar
within an hour after eating, we believe that doing so can greatly help
individuals with blood sugar concerns and Type 2 diabetes patients better
manage the dangerous blood sugar spikes after meals, which is the most
important time to maintain normal blood sugar levels and their long term
cardiovascular health."

In addition to proper testing and monitoring of post-meal blood sugar
levels, Janice Baker, M.B.A., R.D., CDE, a registered dietitian and
certified diabetes educator, says there are simple things that Type 2
diabetes patients can do each day to make a big difference in their
overall health. Below are a few of them.

-- Keep moving: Staying active and fit are both extremely important for
people living with Type 2 diabetes. Baker recommends making it a point to
exercise at least 30 minutes a day, three times per week. Even simple
changes like walking up the stairs instead of taking the elevator can make
a difference.

-- Make healthier food choices: For people with Type 2 diabetes,
maintaining a healthy diet is critical for weight management and overall
health. She advises her patients to eat more fruits and vegetables, as
well as lean protein sources such as chicken or fish, and to limit their
intake of processed, simple carbohydrates found in white bread, rice and
pasta. Make simple dietary changes, she says, like replacing potato chips
at snack time with carrot sticks and low-fat dressing, or a bagel with
wheat toast at breakfast, and drinking water instead of sugary sodas and
beverages. Such small changes can go a long way toward achieving a
healthier diet.

-- Don't wait. Test blood sugar 30-45 minutes after meals: Right after
eating a meal is the most important time to watch blood sugar levels
because it is during this critical time when blood sugar spikes and can
cause the most damage to the body. Therefore, Baker recommends that Type 2
diabetes patients get in the practice of testing within 30-45 minutes
after eating so that when blood sugar levels are too high, they can
quickly recognize it and take immediate action.

-- Consider dietary supplements: Natural dietary supplements can also
provide helpful nutritional support to Type 2 diabetes patients, and some
even help stabilize blood sugar levels naturally. One such product that
Baker recommends is called Glucocil(TM), a natural dietary support
formula specifically designed to help manage post-meal blood sugar spikes
in Type 2 diabetes patients. Based on a proprietary mulberry leaf extract,
Glucocil has been shown in clinical trials to significantly lower
post-meal blood sugar levels, particularly during the 30-45 minute blood
sugar spike zone. For instance, one of the clinical trials conducted by
the University of Minnesota (VA Hospital), which was published in
Diabetes Care, reported an average 44 percent reduction in post-meal
blood sugar elevations or spikes.
