An important aim in the treatment of diabetes is to prevent situations of hyperglycemia. This can be achieved by lowering blood glucose spikes after a meal by administering the hormone insulin, or by preventing blood glucose spikes through dietary measures. Insulin is expensive, bothersome, and risky. Diabetics have to keep a close tab on their insulin levels as well as the glucose index of the foods they eat. If they miscalculate their index the potential of hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, unconsciousness, coma and in severe cases, death. Fortunately less than 10% of diabetics depend on insulin injections to maintain their blood glucose levels. The remaining diabetics are able to control their diabetes for many years through a combination of diet and exercise. Fiberrific ha no negative impact for sugar sensitive people. Fiberrific does not increase glucose levels. Consumption does not increase urinary glucose or blood glucose levels nor does it increase insulin secretion. Fiberrific can prevent hyperglycemia after meals. A major aim of dietary management of diabetes is to prevent blood glucose spiking. Normally these spikes occur after meals when the food contains high levels of digestible carbohydrates such as refined sugars or starch. Fiberrific is able to smooth this response by slowing down and lengthening the bodies digestion of starches and refined sugars. The glucose which would otherwise be received all at once (causing a dangerous spike) is absorbed over a longer period of time at lower, and more manageable levels. In order to achieve this action, Fiberrific must be taken both during and immediately following meals. Fiberrific can reduce blood glucose levels. The ingredient in Fiberrific has been shown to reduce fasting blood glucose levels. Fasting blood glucose is the level of blood sugars in your body regularly, not due to consuming a specific meal. This value is a key indicator of whether or not a patient has diabetes, and the effectiveness of a treatment. Fiberrific can reduce blood cholesterol. Diabetics are at greater risk than the general public for numerous diseases including hypercholestemia (high cholesterol) which contributes to heart disease, the number one cause of death in diabetics. Fiberrific significantly lowers cholesterol and triglycerides by reducing the liver's production of LDL (the bad) cholesterol. Fiberrific can be a key pillar of diabetic prevention and treatment. Its combination of hyperglycemia prevention as well as blood glucose and blood cholesterol lowering properties without side effects offers unmatched benefit without risk for diabetics. Its ease of use makes it the ideal addition to any prevention or treatment regime. Sugart substitutes Beware the sugar alcohols commonly found in foods (sorbitol, mannitol, maltitol, xylitol, isomalt, hydrogenated starch hydrolysates, etc.). These sugar substitutes provide somewhat fewer calories than table sugar (sucrose), mainly because they are not well absorbed and may even have a small laxative effect. Many foods that are labeled "sugar free" or "no sugar added" in fact contain sugar alcohols. Many think that foods labeled as "sugar free" or "no sugar added" will have no effect on their blood sugars. Foods containing these sugar alcohols need to have their calorie and carbohydrate contents accounted for in your overall meal plan, as it is carbohydrate that raises blood sugar levels. These products can cause blood sugar to be significantly elevated. A far more pleasant and healthy solution is Stevia. This natural sweetener is healthy, safe (for everyone including diabetics, hypoglycemics and low cabers) and has no calories and no carbs. The best products are the purest, those containing no hidden calories or carbs (matodextrin, silica, alcohol or glycerin). Premium Stevia products are also heat stable so they can be used in cooking and baking without any change in taste.
