This seems a lot, but these are the principles of common sense and caution that allow diabetics to be autonomous and responsible to lead the most normal life possible, and to predict the future with confidence.

To maintain this course, the tips and tricks provided by associations are invaluable: recipes for eating well despite a restrictive diet sugar, deciphering a food label, sports recommended adaptation treatment for influenza, meals excessive physical activity, hypoglycemia, travel or holiday, human diabetics face the world of work, insurance, school ...

Best Sugar Diet : Learn How To Choose The Right Carbs


We are omnivorous build our health thanks to a varied and balanced diet: the protein, fat and carbohydrates.
Carbohydrates are indispensable because they are our bodies and our source of glucose, the primary fuel of our hosts and our brain.

What Is a Calorie ?

A calorie is a unit of energy, defined as the quantity of heat (or energy) required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by 1 ° C (14.5 ° to 15.5 ° C C) at normal atmospheric pressure (1 atm or 101.325 kPa). With this, you are not advanced ?

Dietetic it defines the energy value of macro-nutrients such as lipids, carbohydrates or proteins and indirectly the amount of energy we need for daily work.

- 1g fat (fat =) = 9 kcal

- 1g of protein or carbohydrate (= "sugars") = 4kcal

To simplify calorie is our "essence" and nutrients types of species.

When we consume a food or dish, it brings us energy for our body to function. Proteins to make our muscles and cells, lipids to produce our hormones, our repair cell membranes and as "secondary fuel" carbohydrates as "primary fuel".

When Glucose Becomes Toxic ?

glucose is not as innocent as we thought. It is involved in the processes of weathering and degradation of the body such as glycation and free radical generation. This dual mechanism is known as the glycoxidation.


Small  Cooking Fire  Inside: Glycation :

Watch a piece of meat cooked in a frying pan: it turns brown. Glucose reacts with proteins in the meat heat and considerably accelerates the reaction. Glucose can indeed attach to proteins but also DNA, our genetic code, and said lipid in reactions of glycation.

Blood Sugar Neither Too High Nor Too Low :

The sugar to provide each of our cells from glucose through the bloodstream. The blood sugar must operate within the narrow risue to health or life threatening.

The Role Key Of Insulin :

When we come eating food glucose is released into the blood, the blood sugar rise. To manage this influx of glucose, and to penetrate into the cells, the body mobilizes a large amount of insulin, hormone secreted by the pancreas. Without her blood sugar would rise until the death of the individual. She instructs some organs and cells to capture the excess glucose circulating in the blood, muscles, liver and fat cells.

Simple and Complex :

There is a simple sugars abundant in fruits and vegetables and complex carbohydrates represented by starch grains, legumes and potatoes.

Simple Sugars :

Formerly called <<fast sugars>> are small molecules that could theoretically move easily and quickly into the bloodstream. we know three simple sugars consist of a single molecule:
