Our new Advisory Board members

 

Dr. Bill CodeDr. Bill Code M.D. 

Not so long ago, Dr. Bill Code, an MD, was diagnosed with painful multiple sclerosis (MS). He thought his normal life was over. After he and his nutritionist wife, Denise, explored everything they could find in the medical journals, they began to research integrative medicine. What they discovered changed Bill’s outlook and his life. Now it just might change yours. Dr. Code is an author. His books are Who's In Control of Your Multiple Sclerosis, Youth Renewed and his new book Winning the Pain Game Dr. Code has written articles for medical professionals and is an invited speaker at medical conferences. He also conducts teleseminars on MS, and other health issues.

 

Dr. Code realized, much as many of us have, that good nutrition is the foundation of good health. You and I as diabetics have to optimize our diets for good glucose control. Dr. Code came to many of the same conclusions when learning how to optimize his diet to control his MS. I am constantly amazed that the same good nutrition principles apply to so many chronic diseases.

Diabetic-Diet-Secrets.com is thrilled to announce a new advisory board member. david_mendosa_longs__peak.jpgOur newest advisory board member is David Mendosa. As the administrator of Diabetic-Diet-Secrets.com I became aware of David when I was first diagnosed. When I was searching the internet for clues on how to best control my blood glucose David's name was popping up in just about every search I did. When I went to the on-line diabetic groups David Mendosa was often quoted as the source for information when making a point about the best ways to handle the disease.

David Mendosa is a legend on the internet among diabetes email list and news groups. Many would consider him the single most influential man and most reliable source for diabetic information on the internet. You can imagine my absolute elation when he accepted an invitation to be on the advisory board of this site.

David is a resident of Boulder Colorado and one of his passions is hiking in the beautiful Colorado Rockies which he loves.

I would like to personally welcome two new members to our advisory board. They are Dr. David Hite PhD and Dr. Paul Chous. Both bring some very strong credentials.

Dr. David Hite PhD Nutrition educator Dr. Hite is a nutrition educator with the largest HMO in the U.S. A lifelong educator with over 30 years experience, David has taught in California and around the world. A twenty-year veteran in public schools, his presentation skills were honed teaching biology, chemistry, and health education at the junior high, high school and community college levels. Additionally, David spent two years teaching science at Cairo American College in Egypt, and two years at Shanghai American School in China. He was twice honored by the state of California as a Mentor Teacher.

David earned a doctorate degree in health education for his research into women and their risks in the early HIV/AIDS epidemic and then supervised street outreach prevention programs for the public health department. David spent a year in South East Asia developing HIV/AIDS prevention programs in refugee camps on the western border in Thailand.

A professional member of the American Diabetes Association and the American Association of Diabetes Educators, he keeps abreast of the latest research and treatment strategies working daily with diabetes patients in his current position as a Clinical Health Educator in the Chronic Conditions Management Department for a major healthcare provider in Sacramento, California.

David’s innovative Diabetes Education DVD targets people trying to avoid diabetes or manage their diabetes with healthy lifestyle changes.

Dr. Paul Chous received his undergraduate education at Brown University andDr. Paul Chous M.A., O.D. Diabetic Eye Doctor the University of California at Irvine, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in 1985. He received his Masters Degree in 1986 and his Doctorate of Optometry in 1991, both with highest honors from the University of California at Berkeley. Dr. Chous was selected as the Outstanding Graduating Optometrist in 1991.  Dr. Chous has been a Type 1 diabetic since 1968. He lives in Maple Valley, Washington with his wife and two sons.

Dr. Chous grew up in Southern California. He was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes mellitus at age five. He developed proliferative diabetic retinopathy in 1986 and underwent multiple laser treatments to save his vision.

Dr. Chous has practiced optometry with a special emphasis on diabetic eye disease and diabetes education for 16 years in the State of Washington. Upon the birth of his son in 2000, he began work on a book for patients and doctors alike about the myriad effects of diabetes on the eyes and visual system, Diabetic Eye Disease: Lessons From a Diabetic Eye Doctor (Fairwood Press, 2003), which haschousbook.gif been called “one of the most practical and down to earth books on this topic ever written” by noted diabetes specialists (see reviews at www.DiabeticEyes.com)

Dr. Chous lectures and writes frequently on the subjects of diabetic eye disease and emerging treatments for diabetic eye disease. He runs Chous EyeCare Associates in Tacoma & Mill Creek, WA

Dr. Chous serves as a consultant to dLife - Your Diabetes Life, Children With Diabetes, the Diabetes Exercise & Sports Association, the American Diabetes Association, which honored him with its Distinguished Public Service Award in 1998 and now this site. He is an Adjunct Faculty member at NOVA Southeastern University in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Dr. Chous has given numerous invited talks about diabetes and the eye to both patients and other health care professionals.

 Dr. Chous didn’t become an optometrist because his vision was so good. In fact, he writes that, “After spending so much time in the eye doctor’s office, and having my life so profoundly affected by my eye doctors, I decided that I wanted to be an eye doctor and work diligently to reduce the eye complications of diabetes.” Like most of us on this site, Dr. Chous has a profound understanding of our condition because like us, he lives it.

It is the goal of this site to always have valid trustworthy information you can depend on. Advisory board members such as these two and our other board members found in the about us section have two functions. One is to make sure the content is accurate and the second is to help create a level of trust that helps visitors to the site realize this is a trustworthy site for diabetic information.

UTSW researchers note recent findings on obesity, its complications PDF Print E-mail

UT Southwestern researchers have published a flurry of research papers in recent weeks on obesity and its complications. They include findings that:

• A tiny nugget of cells in the brain can sense glucose levels in the blood. When those cells don't work right, mice take the first step toward developing type 2 diabetes. In obese mice, the nerve cells can no longer sense glucose levels, the researchers reported in the journal Nature last week. While many obesity and diabetes researchers focus on problems with the liver, pancreas and muscle, now "the brain needs to be brought into the equation when we talk about [problems] that cause type 2 diabetes," said study co-author Roberto Coppari.

• The area where the body stores fat, rather than the total amount of fat, matters for type 2 diabetes. In a recent issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, UT Southwestern's Philipp Scherer and colleagues reported that mice genetically engineered to produce extra fat cells didn't develop diabetes. The researchers suspect that's because excess fat could be stored instead of spilling over into liver, pancreas and muscle, where it can put a monkey wrench into metabolism.

• Overflow fat from the diet may be toxic to the pancreas cells that make insulin, according to a study led by UT Southwestern's Roger Unger, published in the journal Diabetes. These findings shed light on a murky topic – how excess fat that gets stuffed into the pancreas during obesity may be contributing to type 2 diabetes.

Dr. Unger and his colleagues also found that when pancreatic cells are transplanted into the liver – an experimental treatment for type 1 diabetes aimed at eliminating insulin injections – fat that pours in from the digestive tract can harm the pancreatic cells. Reducing fat intake eased the harm.

• Mice and other lab animals – fruit flies and roundworms – all carry a gene that may be keeping creatures lean even when food is plentiful. Humans carry the genes, too, said study leader Jonathan Graff of UT Southwestern. It's still not known whether different people have different versions of the gene. But if people do, variation in the gene could help explain why some people are naturally thin and others gain weight easily. A report describing the gene appeared this week in the journal Cell Metabolism.

• Fat is stored in heart muscle cells in obese and lean people who have trouble regulating blood sugar, a pre-diabetic symptom known as "impaired glucose intolerance." Heart fat was monitored with MRI. The technique may offer a way to screen patients for early signs of heart disease. The study, led by UT Southwestern's Lidia Szczepaniak, appeared this week in the journal Circulation.

Let's say it's 4:17 p.m. and your driving home alone after an unusually hard day on the job.

All of a sudden you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to radiate out into your arm and up into your jaw.  You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home, unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far.

What can you do?

You've been trained in CPR but the guy that taught the course neglected to tell you how to perform it on yourself.

	thank you an may GOD richly bless you







Hi Paul,

Yes, numbers that high are a real concern.  Excess blood glucose damages just about every  system in her body and some of it may be irreversible depending on how long the blood glucose numbers have been that high. I will make a few suggestions.

  1. Register as a site member so we can get a dialog going where others can chime in as well. there are other members of the site with very good credentials who can also be very helpful. In addition, others may be helped by the discussions.
  2. It is very laudable that you are so concerned and willing to help her. She has to be on board with this too. She is the one who has to make the changes and really want to improve things. It is her who will have to make lifestyle and diet changes and stick to it.
  3. If she is on board with this the next step would be to fill out the Diet Assessment form at http://diabetic-diet-secrets.com/free_diabetic_diet_assessment_questionnaire.htm
  4. The assessment will give you a complete breakdown of the proper nutrient mix based on her height, weight, sex, age, activity level etc. Knowing the proper mix will allow her to rack and properly balance what she eats.
  5. Track and record everything she eats. This can be done with pencil and paper but it is much easier to do it with software. The best software I am aware of for this is the software I recommend at http://diabetic-diet-secrets.com/members/diet-software.html
  6. Read through and learn everything in the healthy diet section of the site. This is easily found and navigated with the blue dropdown menus found throughout the site.
  7. After you and her have studied the content of the healthy diet section ask any additional questions in the forum at http://diabetic-diet-secrets.com/members/forum/ this is easiest found in the main menu as Community Forum
  8. Above all else, get those numbers down as quickly as possible. The longer they stay that high the more damage is being done. Even though I am a strong advocate for managing type 2 diabetes with diet, until those numbers are down to good levels, DO NOT DISCONTINUE ANY MEDICATIONS. IF SHE IS NOT ON MEDICATIONS GET HER TO A DOCTOR AND GET THIS TREATED.
Healthy recipes can be found in our recipe section.

Until you learn proper eating habits avoid all rice, potatoes, highly processed breakfast cereals, red meats and sausages, soft breads of all kinds, white pasta etc. Basically anything white. Avoid anything for convenience out of a can or a package. Eliminate anything with sugar such as fruit juice, pop, poptarts, candy, cake, etc. those numbers are too high to be messing around with.

Drink lots of water. A very minimum of three quarts a day so that excess blood sugar can get flushed out. red the specific for diabetics as a starting point. http://diabetic-diet-secrets.com/members/diabetic-diet.html

Type 2 diabetes is a serious disease with serious consequences such as blindness, amputation, kidney failure early death and other possible diabetic complications. get serious about making the needed changes.

As far as exercising anything that is cardio will help maybe something as simple as a brisk 15 minute walk twice a day in the morning and evening. Exercise can also help lower blood glucose.
