Sugar Free or Not?

adw2010 — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 14:36:01 +0000

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.

Tips for Winter Skin Care – Dr. Forrest Resnikoff, MD, FAAD

adw2010 — Wed, 08 Dec 2010 21:15:15 +0000

In this week’s American Diabetes Wholesale Newsletter, Dr. Forrest Resnikoff gives us some great insights on taking care of our skin during these winter months. This can be especially challenging for those of us managing a diabetic condition, so Dr. Resnikoff offers some suggestions on how to best minimize dryness to avoid skin complications that can be exacerbated by diabetes.

“In many parts of the country winter brings cold weather and a drop in humidity. Skin tends to lose its water by evaporation into this dry environment. This is particularly extreme with aging or with diabetes, when the skin’s oil glands become less productive. Without a barrier of oil the skin can’t prevent this evaporation and is much more prone to becoming dry.”

“The key to avoiding dryness is to keep this water from evaporating from the skin into the air. It is water that moisturizes the skin. Lotions don’t do a very good job of holding this water in the skin because they are made up mostly of water with only a small amount of oil. Creams and ointments are more effective because they have a higher content of oil.”

This article truly contains timely recommendations that everyone can benefit from.
