E-mails to Christine:
What should I do if I've just been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes?
Tip of the Week:
A diet rich in fiber can help reduce cholesterol levels and promote weight loss. Fiber is a type of carbohydrate
found in fruits, vegetables, and grains. To increase dietary fiber:
- choose whole fruits and vegetables over juices,
- consume at least 3 servings of vegetables and 2 servings of fruit each day,
- choose whole grain bread over white bread,
- eat whole grain cereals more often than refined, high sugar cereals,
- select brown rice over white rice, and
- choose whole grain pasta over refined flour pasta.
The American Dietetic Association recommends 20-35 grams of fiber per day. The average American only gets 12 grams of fiber each day.

Exercise Tip:
"No pain, no gain?" Physical activity should not be
painful. Gradually increase exercise intensity and duration
with each workout. Avoid the common mistake of jumping into exercise only
to pull a muscle, strain a knee, or twist an ankle. Exercise daily to benefit
your health not hamper it with an injury.

Reviews:
 This product is a godsend, for the first time since I was diagnosed my sugars are in the normal range, even the glucophage wasn't working with my lack of knowledge of what and when to eat.
