Your kidding me, I have Diabetes?

Hi.
My name is Michael D'Amico. I work for Marion Gray, the
owner of
Natural Remi-Teas. I am not a doctor. I
was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in April of 2007. I was surprised I
would have this problem since I am an occasional runner.
I grew up in an
Italian household we all ate a lot of pasta. Growing up, the evil food
was considered hamburgers and not breads and pasta. My problem was not
just the food that I ate. My doctor pointed out that I did spend a lot
of time on the computer at work and at home. My sugar was 210. My
doctor said It
should be in a range from 100 to 110. He then gave me a One Touch
monitor and I was told to test daily. I hated that I
would have to prick my fingers everyday. I was shocked to see how much
the test
strips were. I also had a terrible time the first day getting enough
blood on those test strips. No longer would I be able to enjoy ice
cream and full plates of pasta at a restaurant. I resented restaurants
that would give you free bread that I could not have.
I than saw someone on
television who lost part of his legs due to diabetes. I was told
diabetes could lead to stroke and could do damage to the arteries
behind the eyes. There were others who ate worse than I. Why was I
being singled out with this problem.
Worried about the future, I
began to change my eating habits. I talked to Marion the owner of
Natural Remi-Teas and she recommended the Chia
Acai Energy Bar
and Chia Seeds. The Chia
Acai Energy
Bar has 41 grams of carbohydrates. I asked a diabetic nutritionist and
she said because there was 6 grams of protein, the protein would bring
the effective carbohydrates down to 15 grams. If you are lacking
energy, the general rule of thumb is to have 15 grams of carbohydrates.
So this was okay for my diet and it would also be convenient for a
quick breakfast or snack.
Since I was serious about
getting my sugar levels down and losing weight, I began to exercise
3-4 days a week. I also would have the Chia
Acai Bar for breakfast. After 2 months, my sugar went down to
145.
There was something that I did
that would bring my sugar down much better than anything else. One day
it dropped 10 points, another day it dropped 16 points. Before I tell
you what I did, I realize everyone is different with different favorite
diets and different exercise routines.
Chia seeds that can be mixed
with any drink and poured on foods like birthday cake or yogurt that
slows down the metabolization of carbohydrates to sugar. When I had a
5k or 5 mile race, I would take a couple ounces of chia seeds and I
would be full at the end of the race. I would watch everyone else
partake in the bananas, bagels after the race. I felt full, so I had no
desire to eat even though I had not eaten any foods, prior to the race.
Before a race, I
would take 3 ounces of
chia seeds. One day, I did an intense workout for about 1/2 hour. I ate
a diabetic healthy breakfast and lunch. Dinner was 3 ounces of Chia
seeds and a 1/2 hour workout brought my sugar down from 125 to 115.
Doing the
same routine, but a 1 hour workout brought my sugar down from 122 to
106.
Update - July 2009
On a typical day since I have an office job, I walk only .259 miles and my pedometer tells me I only burn 863 calories. I use chia seeds every day and exercise at least every other day and have been able to manage by diabetes naturally. To learn more about me, come visit my blog.
