Diabetes Mellitus and Celiac Disease


8 February 2010. Author: dr.goldman

In order to prevent the complications of diabetes, it is extremely important to keep the blood sugar level as close to normal as possible.


In a normal person without diabetes, the blood sugar level remains in a very narrow range. This is due to a number of hormones, mainly from the islet cells of the pancreas, which interact to keep the sugar (glucose) levels normal whether one is eating or fasting.
When diabetes develops, the pancreatic islet cells are unable to produce enough insulin to keep the sugar levels normal. As a result, the sugar levels rise to levels which damage many organs of the body leading to the terrible complications of this disease.
A contributing factor in many patients is insulin resistance which prevents the levels of insulin from working properly. As a result, the tissues of the body cannot utilize glucose causing the blood levels of sugar to rise.

To treat diabetes, many medications are available which increase the insulin levels and/or decrease the insulin resistance. These medications generally lower the glucose levels toward the normal range. Unfortunately, none of these medications, including insulin, can prevent sugar levels from rising if sugar is consumed.
Sugar can be consumed by eating or drinking foods with sugar, for example, candy or cake. Fruit contains "natural" sugar which raises the blood sugar levels in a very similar way to "refined" sugar.
Starches such as pastry, bread, rice, potatoes and cereal are very efficiently converted into sugar (glucose) within 30 - 60 minutes after eating. All flour produced from grain (wheat, rye, oats, barley and spelt) or other starches such as potatoes, rice and corn are converted into sugar.

To treat diabetes by keeping glucose levels from rising, it is essential to stay on a "low carbohydrate" diet which is actually a low starch, very low fruit and no sugar diet.

 

Dr. Goldman's Creates and Endorses Carb-One Low Carb Muffins and Breads

Carb-one.com was established by me to produce low starch, very low sugar products which can be substituted for starch products because of the difficulty of many patients with diabetes to stay on such a diet.

These new products do not raise the blood sugar levels to any significant degree. They are safe for diabetic patients to eat.

All of the ingredients have been approved by me as safe for diabetic patients.
