Omega-3′s found in fish oil offers many benefits and addresses many health issues including lowering triglycerides – the stored fat – that tends to be elevated in diabetics.  Many brands on the market do not offer high levels of DHA and EPA – the particular substances that are responsible for all the health benefits.  Be sure to look at the labels for the amount of DHA and EPA.  The front of the label may say 1,000 mg of fish oils but there may only be 300 -400 mg of the potent DHA and EPA.  Diachieve not only offers high levels of DHA and EPA but it is a very high quality and pure fish oil.

The question many people with diabetes ponder is whether to eat sugar free or no sugar added foods. Do they really have less of an impact on glucose levels and can you actually eat more of them than the ordinary sugar foods? The main message to remember is that sugar free means that the sugar is replaced by a slower digesting carbohydrate called a sugar alcohol. To answer the question most accurately try testing your glucose levels before and approximately two hours following a meal or snack and compare the rise from the “sugar free/no sugar added food” to the typical sugar food. You may also try testing before the next meal since the glucose levels may rise more slowly from the sugar alcohol.
