Diabetes, Blood Sugar, and Gluco Support
Diabetes is a growing global epidemic. Diabetes is one of the fastest growing health challenges, with the number of adults living with diabetes having more than tripled over the past 20 years. And it is expected to double again, and fast.
By 2050 - almost 1 in 2 people around the world will be diabetic.
Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of the disease, accounting for about 96% of cases. It occurs when the body’s cells stop responding properly to insulin, which can lead to chronic high blood-sugar levels that leave patients vulnerable to heart, kidney, eye, and nerve damage.
Diabetes shortens lives. Every 7 seconds, someone dies due to diabetes (lets be silent for 7 seconds). 7 seconds. Someone lost a loved one. A brother, a sister, a father, a mother, a friend.
Kids:
And it is not just adults. Kids are getting diabetes at an increasingly faster rate.
The number of people under age 20 living with type 1 diabetes increased by 45%, and the number living with type 2 diabetes grew by 95%. And that was from 2001 to 2017.
An article just came out saying that it is expected kids diabetes can increase 600% by 2050 if we don’t do something.
If our blood sugar is low, we can feel weak and tired. If it is too high, it could be diabetes or early onset of diabetes with many health impacts.
What we eat matters. Protein, and dietary fiber can help you keep your normal blood sugar levels in a healthy range. Some studies suggest that a protein snack before bedtime may help blood sugar levels have less of a spike in the morning. So, a piece of string cheese, a hard-boiledegg, a half shake in water, a slice of lunchmeat – all these may be a snack to help control blood sugar. But again – if you are diabetic talk with your doctor.
Part of the problem is how much sugar is in everything we eat.
Here are some foods that contain far more sugar than a donut.
- Low Fat yogurt- can be like eating 3-4 donuts.
- Bottled Smoothies- those green drinks can add up to 15 teaspoons or more of added sugar.
- Low fat peanut butter. When the cut the fat, they added sugar – its almost 1/3 sugar.
- BBQ sauce – a serving of ribs has about 4 Tbsp. sauce – sounds like not a lot, but that is
more sugar than a candy bar.
-- Sushi rice – you think sushi is low fat, protein, and good for you. Sushi rice has sugar – so
when you eat a roll – you could be eating 6 tsp sugar from the rice, plus more sugar in the
sauce.
- Tea – that fast food sweet tea is like eating 2 ½ snicker bars.
- Whole grain bagel – like eating 1 ½ donuts.
- Salad dressing – especially fat free. Check it out – the first ingredient is typically sugar.
- Sweetened almond milk – 13 gr sugar, 1 gr protein, no fiber. It’s like drinking pure sugar water.
Even cigarettes have a ½ teaspoon of sugar. And watch out for other fiber drinks – one in the store I found had 5 gr fiber, and 16 gr sugar.
So, we need to be careful on what we eat.

What I found surprising is how much sugar is in bread today vs. when our parents and grandparents ate bread.
Martin’s Potato bread has more sugar than a twizzler, and only 1 gr fiber to offset the sugar.
Dave’s Killer Raisin Bread – 2 slices is like eating a PayDay candy bar.
Cheesecake factory bread – yum – because it is 8 gr sugar, 3 gr fiber.
And interesting – Subway Bread – Ireland’s court said it is not bread. the court ruled that the bread served at Subway, the US chain that hawks giant sandwiches in 110 countries and territories, could not in fact be defined as bread because of its high sugar content.
Why is there sugar in our bread? It acts as a preservative. It helps prevent mold growth. And it tastes good so we keep eating it. No wonder you eat bread at a restaurant before a meal – it spikes your blood sugar so you get hungrier and order more food.
Even fast food has added sugar.
Taco Bell – grilled stuffed burrito – 6 gr sugar
Five Guys cheeseburger – 8.5 gr sugar – that’s like a Butterfinger Candy Bar.
Shake Shack Smoke Burger – 11 gr sugar. That is 44% of the amount you should eat daily.
McDonalds’ Grilled Chicken – 11 gr. – Like eating M&M’s.
Arby’s Kings Hawaiian Fish sandwich – 19 gr sugar. That’s like eating a Hershey’s Cookies n Cream candy bar.
And whew – the Subway Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki foot long – 32 gr sugar. That’s’ the same as a Chick Fila sweet tea. Wow.
Sugar increases blood pressure, triglycerides, cholesterol. Sugar feeds cancer.
In 1900 we ate an average 4 pounds per person per year. It was expensive and hard to get. In 1970 we ate 26 pounds on average per person each year. We were eating less than 1/8 of a cup of sugar a day – or about 2 Tablespoons a day.
Today it is 156 pounds per person, almost 8 oz. a day- because it is in the foods we eat like we just talked about. We went from 2 Tablespoons a day, to 1 cup or 16 Tablespoons, or 48 teaspoons a day.
Take out a teaspoon. Seriously. Go to your sugar cannister and count out 48 teaspoons. And then you will know why our health is so bad. Why diabetes is skyrocketing, heart disease is the #1 killer, and cancer is in younger and younger people. Sugar is addictive. It acts like cocaine in the brain. Makes you wired then tired. Disrupts hormones and gut health.
It’s back to the Food Industry and how they try to find ways to make us get addicted to eating their products so they make more money. That is why Dr. Steve wrote his book on Why Humans Like Junk Food. He explains how snacks like Cheetos are designed to kind of melt, so your brain does not think it is eating. Then the sugar and salt get you eating more.
Canned vegetables too – sugar and salt are used as preservatives. So read the food label and try to cut back on sugar. Follow one of our meal plans. Add Fiber Pro to your diet. When we get the right amount of fiber, proteinand healthy carbs -it is amazing what changes you can see and feel.
So what can you do? Exercise and diet can help.
Exercise helps the body to lower blood glucose. When your muscles contract during activity, it stimulates another mechanism that is completely separate of insulin. This mechanism allows your cells to take up glucose and use it for energy whether insulin is available or not. So that is how exercise helps.
Nutrition can help because foods like protein help takelonger to digest and can help keep blood sugar in the normal range. It is best to get protein in each snack or meal. There are even some studies that show if you are diabetic – to have a small protein bite or snack before bed so that you wake up with better blood sugar and fewer spikes.
In addition to protein – it is fiber. But sadly only 8 out of 100 people get enough fiber. Imagine a room full of 100 people. Are you getting enough?
- Fiber, and especially Prebiotic fiber can help you feel fuller, boost your immune and digestive health, boost mood, and help you eat less through the day. Increasing prebiotic intake helps promote specific types of beneficial bacteria to help rebalance your gut. These good bacteria then help to lower inflammation, improve management of blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes, and promote more significant weight loss. Prebiotics are found in raw asparagus, cooked onions, garlic, chicory root, bananas. This is why we include a full serving of prebiotic fiber in our shakes and Fiber Pro.
Healthy fat can help too – avocado, olive oil, dairy, fish and omegas. Fat is needed by the body for providing energy, keeping hair and skin healthy, helping our cells to function properly and for protecting our body and organs. Fat, like protein, digests slowly and does not raise blood sugar. Because it digests slowly, it delays blood sugar, and studies show it can help improve insulin sensitivity. And now we have an Omega that is 4x more powerful than others on the market. 4 x the power to help your heart, your insulin, your gut, your brain, your joints.
We have a lot of this information in our Diabetes Meal Plan – a downloadable book full of information on what foods to eat, along with recipes, and a meal plan so you can lose or maintain weight, eat healthier and better control blood sugar.
So, protein, fiber, healthy fats, - foods like protein, our shakes can help you manage blood sugar. The Fiber in our shake and Fiber Pro can help, Ignite can help as it is a healthy fat.

It also has a clinically studied Cinnamon bark extract, thatcan work like insulin to lower blood sugar. It may also help with cholesterol, and fighting inflammation.
Studies suggest that cinnamon for diabetes can help block the activity of several digestive enzymes to slow the absorption of sugar in the bloodstream after a high-carb meal. For this reason, researchers believe that people with type 2 diabetes may experience significant positive effects on blood sugar markers by supplementing with cinnamon extract.

We also have white kidney bean extract – which has clinical studies showing it can help slow the absorption of carbs in food. So, you get less impact on the blood sugar, and less bloat too.
One study showed that this nutrient changed the glycemic index – or the impact on blood sugar – of white bread, one of the worst things for blood sugar.
