The 18-year-old died due to negligence of hospitals, parents alleged (Representational)

The parents of an 18-year-old man, who was diabetic and tested positive for COVID-19 before his death in a government hospital in Kolkata, on Saturday alleged that he died because of negligence as he was refused a bed by three medical facilities.

Even at the Kolkata Medical College and Hospital (KMCH) where Subhrajit Chattopadhyay died on late Friday night, admitted him only after his mother threatened to commit suicide if he was not treated there, the class 12 students father claimed.

When contacted, Director of Health Services Ajoy Chakraborty said that the matter would be definitely looked into.

"He was a juvenile diabetes patient and had complained of breathlessness on Friday morning. We took him to the ESI Hospital at Kamarhati where they told they did not have any bed in the ICU.

"Then we took him to a private nursing home. They conducted Covid-19 test on him and after the result came out positive, they said there is no bed. And during this entire episode, we were made to wait in the ambulance," the father of the victim said.

Subhrajit's mother said that government-run Sagar Dutta Hospital also denied him admission following which they informed the police who advised them to take him to the KMCH.

"Even after knowing that my son was a COVID-19 patient, the KMCH initially did not want to admit him. After my wife threatened to commit suicide if they did not treat him, they relented," Subhrajit's father said.

"My son was not given any medicine at the KMCH. He was taken to some ward where we had no access. We kept on enquiring about his health but nobody helped us in any manner.

When we went to the enquiry section, we came to know that our son had died at around 9.30 pm," he said.

This has happened because of negligence on the part of all these hospitals, he alleged.

"Had they admitted him and treated him on time, I think our son would have survived. At the KMCH, he did not get any treatment," he claimed.

From left: Acting Manager of Bundaberg health Service Foundation Brant Dugg, Director of Paediatrics Judy Williams, Dietitian Pia McKee, and President of Rotary Club of Bundaberg Chris Foley.

The Rotary Club of Bundaberg Sunrise has donated more than $2000 to the Bundaberg Hospital Paediatrics team, which will enable five local children with type one diabetes to attend a Diabetes Queensland camp.

The camps promote education and support for children with type one diabetes.

Rotary Club of Bundaberg Sunrise got behind the cause and made the donation after an inspiring presentation by members of the local Paediatric Diabetes Camp team.

President Chris Foley said the presentation led to Rotarians discussing how they could support the cause.

That discussion lead to a donation of more than $2000, which will enable five local children diagnosed with type the chance to go to one of the diabetes camps.

Our club were able to hear about the fantastic work the Paediatric Diabetes Camp does for children who have the condition and it prompted us to make a donation so local children could benefit from attending the camp, Mr Foley said.

The donation will enable five local children to attend the camp when it next runs, which will depend on the recovery from COVID-19.

In addition to our club supporting these children, the local Interact club at St Lukes Bundaberg school fundraised and made a contribution to the cause.

According to Wide Bay Hospital and Health Service Clinical Director of Paediatrics, Dr Judy Williams, the camps are designed to meet the needs of children and adolescents with type one diabetes as well as their parents and carers.

She praised the Rotary Club of Bundaberg Sunrise for their commitment to supporting local children with diabetes.

Its a wonderful donation from the Rotarians that ensures our young people with type one diabetes can attend a camp where they meet other children with the condition and take part in fun and educational exercises, Dr Williams said.

There are different programs for juniors and seniors where they get to share their own experiences, hear from their peers who are living with the condition, take part in physical activities and gain the knowledge and skills they need to manage the condition independently.

Unfortunately, the risks involved with the COVID-19 pandemic led to the camp being cancelled this year, but we plan to honour the donation by supporting children to attend future camps.

The findings of two new studies link a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes to a high consumption of fruit, vegetables and hearty whole grains.

The studies, recently published in The BMJ according to Science Daily,suggest that even a modest increase in consumption of these foods as part of a healthy diet could help prevent type 2 diabetes.

RELATED:WHO now says theres emerging evidence of airborne transmission of coronavirus

For the first study, researchers looked atthe association between blood levels of vitamin C and carotenoids, pigments found in colourful fruits and vegetables, with risk of developing type 2 diabetes. After studying9,754 adults who developed new-onset type 2 diabetes and a comparison group of 13,662 adults who remained free of diabetes, researchers foundthat every 66 grams per day increase in total fruit and vegetable intake was associated with a 25% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

RELATED:New cancer prevention guidelines say to skip booze and this food

In the second study, researchers in the United States examined associations between total and individual whole grain food intake and type 2 diabetes. After examining 158,259 women and 36,525 men who were free from diabetes, heart disease and cancer, they found thatparticipants in the highest category for total whole grain consumption had a 29% lower rate of type 2 diabetes compared with those in the lowest category.

Both research teams cite their findings as further evidence that adding more fruits, vegetables and whole grains to your diet can lead to a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Diets high in fruits, vegetables and whole grains linked to decreased risk of diabetes - Atlanta Journal Constitution

Individuals living with type 1 and type 2 diabetes (T1D and T2D, respectively) are at greater risk of bone fractures, according to a systematic review update published in Bone.

Diabetes is a major public health concern as 1.6 million deaths were directly caused by the disease in 2016. Fractures, meanwhile, also pose concern as up to 20% of patients die in the first year after a hip fracture and less than half regain their previous level of function. Individuals with diabetes also have a higher mortality after a hip fracture compared with people without diabetes, the authors wrote.

Diabetes can cause a number of well-known complications including kidney problems, loss of eyesight, problems with your feet and nerve damage, said Tatiane Vilaca, MD, an author of the study. However, until now many people with diabetes and their doctors are unaware that they are also at greater risk of bone fractures.

Researchers searched databases such as Medline, Embase, and Cochrane for observational studies with age and gender-adjusted risk of fractures in adults with diabetes compared with adults without diabetes, published through March 25, 2020.

A total of 48 studies met inclusion criteria and 2 separate meta-analyses were created: 1 for hip fractures (including 42 studies) and 1 for non-vertebral fractures (including 17 studies). Any studies that overlapped were included if they reported different aspects of the same population, so as to be included in subgroup analyses.

In total, the studies in the hip fracture analysis reported data from 17,571,738 participants with 319,652 fractures, while the studies in the non-vertebral fracture review reported data from 2,978,487 participants with 181,228 fracture.

The analyses revealed:

However, there is currently no specific treatment for bone fragility in diabetes, and the skeleton is not widely recognized as a site for diabetes complications, authors wrote.

We hope that by raising awareness about the greater risk people with diabetes face, bone density and bone strength will become something that doctors assess routinely in patients with the condition in the same way they do currently for other well-known complications, said Richard Eastell, MD, a co-author of the study.

Obesity is a leading cause of diabetes and heart disease. What you eat and when you eat can have a major impact on the development of many chronic diseases. Of course, lifestyle habits and lack of exercise also contributes to this. But till now, protein, especially whey protein, was seen as a safe food to have if you have diabetes. But now, researchers say that this may not be the case. Also Read - High blood sugar: A cold climate, genetics, pollution may increase your risk of diabetes

According to a new study from the University of Basel in Switzerland, consuming protein at night increases the blood sugar level in the morning for healthy people, leading to health problems such as diabetes, heart disease and obesity. Previous research has shown that a snack a few hours before a meal can help control blood sugar levels, which may partly explain why the first thing we eat each day (i.e. breakfast) tends to increase blood sugar more than other later meals. The study was presented this week at the Physiological Societys virtual early career conference called Future Physiology 2020. Also Read - Want to bring down your risk of cardiovascular disease? Have 3 to 6 eggs a week, says research

This study investigated whether waking up at night to consume some protein might keep blood sugar lower the next morning. Surprisingly, the blood sugar response to breakfast was higher when participants had consumed protein rather than plain water at 4 a.m. These unexpected findings may be informative for people trying to improve their control of blood sugar levels, the researchers said. Also Read - Type 1 diabetes is not the same as type 2: Know how to tell the difference

For the purpose of the study, the research team studied 15 healthy young men and women (8 females and 7 males). The participants were woken up at 4 a.m. to drink 300 ml of a water solution, either with or without 63 grams of whey protein. They then went back to sleep, and at 9 a.m. were provided with a standard amount of porridge for breakfast, with blood samples collected for 2 hours afterwards to check the blood glucose response.

According to the study, one explanation for the result is that the body does not expect or need much food to be consumed during the night and so the protein itself was turned into sugar. This may result in the body having more carbohydrates already available upon waking such that the energy in the breakfast can less easily be used or stored, so it builds up more in the blood. It also leads to obesity, which, in turn, may increase your risk of heart disease. According to the researchers of this study, future research will look at whether this applies to older and overweight people who tend to have more problems controlling their blood sugar levels. They also add that it would be interesting to know to what extent the findings are due to eating at an unusual time or the type of protein consumed.

Type 2 diabetes diet: Is it safe for diabetics to eat eggs for breakfast? Here is what you need to know  |  Photo Credit: iStock Images

New Delhi: Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition that affects millions of people around the world. It is not just about the high levels of blood sugar, but also the collateral damage that diabetes can cause to the other vital organs. Diabetes can affect your heart, kidneys, and even liver. Following a healthy diet is extremely important for diabetes to keep their blood sugar levels managed, and avoid such complications.

Apart from following a low sugar diet, diabetics must also ensure they eat small, frequent meals, especially when they are taking diabetic medicine. Since breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day, here is what you need to know about type 2 diabetes and eating eggs for breakfast.

Eggs are considered an easy, tasty and healthy breakfast. However, what may be great for health for a normal person, may not be the best for diabetics as well. Eggs are a great source of protein, and very versatile to make. The good news is that eggs are also a great choice for people with diabetes. One large egg contains about only half gm carbs, and that is not enough to raise your blood sugar levels abnormally. According to the American Diabetes Association as well, diabetics must add eggs to their diet for blood sugar management.

Diabetics should add eggs to their diet and can eat them for breakfast. Diabetics should restrict their egg intake to three eggs per week, due to cholesterol concerns, since eggs are rich in cholesterol. They should also avoid the use of cheese, sauces, etc in the recipe for eggs. However, they can consume eggs as they wish poached, boiled, half-fried, etc. If you have existing cholesterol concerns, you must consume brown eggs instead of white.

Apart from eating a healthy diet, regular exercise is also very important to manage blood sugar levels and avoid complications. Yoga, running, or brisk walk are some exercises that can prevent and help in the management of type 2 diabetes.

TAIPEI, July 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Center Laboratories Inc. (CenterLab: 4123.TWO), a pharmaceutical company dedicated in specialty drug product development, announced today that the anti-diabetic drug CS02 meets its primary endpoint. The topline results of a phase 2 clinical trial of CS02 showed significantly decreases of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in treated patients as compared to placebo group by 0.45% (p value = 0.0098).

Center Laboratories Inc. Logo

CS02 is an orally administered small molecule drug under development following the abbreviated 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway for new drug approval. This phase 2 trial is a proof of concept (PoC) study according to the US FDA's guidance to explore its glycemic controlling effect primarily. Furthermore, CenterLab included Homeostasis model2 assessment -cell (HOMA2-) as a secondary endpoint demonstrating its capability in beta cell preservation. The results from the Phase 2 trial showed that CS02 significantly decreased HbA1c and had stellar performance on preserving pancreatic beta cell function with HOMA2- increased by 13.45%.

According to American Diabetes Association (ADA), cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the major cause of morbidity and mortality for diabetic patients and results in $37.3 billion in related expenditure per year. As CS02 was designed to be submitted through 505(b)(2) pathway to treat diabetes with new mechanism, not only could CS02 reduce blood glucose level, but it could also reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications by reducing blood pressure as its inherent feature. Through 505(b)(2) pathway, the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic profiles from previously approved drug and published references can be leveraged to support the safety and/or effectiveness of CS02, by that, redundant investigation processes could be waived and significantly shorten the drug product development time to market.

"CenterLab is highly committed to patients' unmet needs, thus, CenterLab aims to bring on better treatments which is more cost-effective and safer compared to other treatments. We believe CS02, as a potential blockbuster for diabetes treatment, has a role in improving patients' life quality," said Robert Hsu, the GM of CenterLab.

For further development of CS02, CenterLab is actively seeking global partners for co-development or licensing opportunities.

CS02 Changes the Landscape of Diabetes Treatment: CenterLab Announces Positive Topline Results of Phase 2 Trial - Yahoo Finance

NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Two more drug manufacturers have recalled the widely-used Type 2 diabetes medication metformin, over concerns that it contains too much of the human carcinogen NDMA, a "probable" cancer-causing substance, the FDA announced this week.

The two new recalls followsimilar recalls in May fromTeva Pharmaceuticals, Marksans Pharma Limited, Apotox Corp. and Amneal Pharmaceuticals.

This week, Lupin Pharmaceuticals Inc.issued the recall for all of its batches of Metformin Hydrochloride Extended-Release Tablets USP, 500 mg and 1000 mg. According to the FDA, "additional analysis revealed that certain tested batches were above the Acceptable Daily Intake Limit for the impurity N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA)."

Another drug maker, Granules Pharmaceuticals, Inc., has recalled 12 lots of its Metformin Hydrochloride Extended-Release Tablets USP, 750 mg, 100 and 500 count.

Metformin is a prescription medication that is used to improve blood glucose control in adults with Type 2 diabetes mellitus, the FDA said.Patients who are currently taking the medication should contact their medical providers before they stop, as stopping suddenly could be dangerous to those with serious conditions, the FDA noted.

Adam's plant-based diet allows him to be his most authentic self (Photo: Adam/Million Dollar Vegan)

A former drug addict who battled a 'lifelong struggle with self-hatred' has revealed how he transformed his life on a plant-based diet.

Adam, from Austin TX, shared his story in a video shared by advocacy organization Million Dollar Vegan (MDV), which encourages and supports people to sign its 31-day pledge and give a plant-based diet a go. Participants are offered a free Vegan Starter Kit featuring meal plans, tips on where to eat out, and answers to tricky questions.

In the video, Adam describes how changing his diet helped him overcome a slew of diseases, as well as helped him become 'the most authentic version of [himself he's] ever been.

"I was battling the end of a 10-year struggle with substance abuse, a lifelong struggle with self-hatred, and a disbelief that I would ever wake up and experience being alive again," Adam says. "I had avoided any opportunity to let myself know the state of disconnection that I was living in.

"At the time of my diagnosis, my A1C was at 12. That's a biomarker for diabetes, and anything above 6.4 is type 2 diabetic. My blood pressure was 210 over a hundred and something. My cholesterol was through the roof. Which is, if you think about it, completely reasonable given the way that I was living my life.

"I found myself alone, in the dark, on the floor, in a puddle of vomit with no one around me, not because they didn't wanna be there for me, but because I had pushed everything that meant anything out of my life."

Adam ended up in addiction recovery treatment where he was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, erectile dysfunction, bipolar disorder, suicidal depression, anxiety disorder, sleep disorder, and attention deficit disorder.

"The last thing that had to break before I changed my diet, was literally me. And my motivation had nothing to do with my diabetes, or my heart disease, or my obesity, or my substance abuse," he says. "Those things were real, and they are motivation, but the motivation for me was, all right, I was obese, and I didn't wanna be. I had heart disease and diabetes, and I didn't want those things.

"And I nearly died from substance abuse, and to be honest, I didn't wanna live, but I surely discovered after attempting suicide that I didn't wanna die. Within three months of adopting a plant-based diet, of adopting a mindfulness meditation practice and moving my body with purpose, reconnecting with nature on a regular basis."

Within a year of changing his diet, Adam was off every medicine he'd been prescribed while in rehab including antidepressants, mood stabilizers, sleeping medications, anxiety medications, and ADHD medications. He lost 100lb (which totals 200lb as of today) and completely reversed his diabetes.

He says: "We underestimate the power of the most simple choices that we have in our lives, and those simple choices are the ones that we have control over, most of the time: what we put on our plate, how we talk to ourselves, how we live with other people.

Change doesn't happen five minutes from now. It certainly doesn't happen five minutes before. It doesn't happen five weeks or five years from now, and it doesn't happen five weeks or five years before. It's right here right now, because now is when I have a choice, and I know the choice that brings positive change for me is the diet that creates the greatest health I've ever experienced in my life."

He adds that his diet also allows him to 'feel good about the impact he has on the world around him', and 'allows him to get up and be the person that he wants to be for his family'

"It allows me to be the most authentic version of myself I've ever been," he concludes. "And you know what? It's the person that I've always been. I didn't become somebody new. I became the person I've always been, just the most authentic version of it that I've ever experienced in my life."

Diabetic Foot Ulcer Treatment Market to reach USD 11.05 billion by 2027; Rising Adoption of Novel Wound Care Devices to Propel Growth: Fortune...

After becoming the Association of Paddle Professional's Overall World Champion of 2017, Fiona Wylde has proven that even people with diabetes can overcome challenges posed by the disease and reach the pinnacle of the fast-growing sport of stand up paddleboarding (SUP). If you have diabetes, SUP is emerging as a great sport that you can enjoy without fear and even excel at it if you have what it takes. However, just like any other physical activity that involves aerobic, sprint, or resistance training, SUP can be risky to your health as a result of varying blood glucose responses, and it is up to you to manage those risks so that you can keep having fun and maintain your performance at the highest levels possible.

Foot problems are common in diabetes patients, and since you need healthy feet for SUP, you must take excellent care of them. Over time, diabetes can cause nerve damage in your feet resulting in tingling, pain, and loss of feeling in some cases. Diabetes may also reduce blood flow to your feet, making it hard for cuts, sores, and infections to heal. In some cases, the infection may lead to gangrene forcing you to have a toe, foot, or part of your leg amputated. Thankfully, there are many measures you can take to avoid these problems, starting with checking your feet regularly for cuts, scratches, blisters, and calluses, especially after a day of SUP. This will help you spot problems early when they're still easy to treat. Keep your feet clean at all times and wear shoes that are comfortable and perfectly fitting. A foot massage from your significant other after a day of SUP can also reduce inflammation and promote circulation.

You can prevent both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia during and after SUP through strategic carbohydrate intake and adjusting your dosage and timing of insulin. If your pumped or injected insulin levels are low when you begin SUP, you may need only 10 to 15 grams of carbs to prevent hypoglycemia. If you're getting on your board within two or three hours of bolus insulin, you may need around 50 grams of carbs per hour of SUP. Consult your doctor to ensure that you're taking the correct amount of carbs based on your unique needs. After a few hours of SUP, the carbohydrate levels in your muscles build back up slowly which makes you more sensitive to insulin, contributing to hypoglycemia up to two days later. To avoid this, make sure you're eating adequate amounts of carbs along with insulin before, during, and after SUP.

In addition to eating carbs to maintain blood sugar levels during exercise, you may need to also lower your basal and bolus insulin doses to decrease your hypoglycemia risk. Consult your doctor about your individual needs before you make such adjustments. In some cases, you may need up to a 20 percent reduction both before and after SUP. If you use an insulin pump, you may need to suspend or reduce basal insulin infusion 60 minutes before SUP to prevent hypoglycemia. Regardless of your regimen changes, be sure to track your blood sugar frequently and make necessary adjustments to stay in your target range.

Diabetes may be challenging to live with at times, but it shouldn't prevent you from experiencing the joy and sense of freedom that SUP provides. By being prepared and working with your care team to create an effective diabetes management plan, you can engage in SUP without risking your well-being, whether you're doing it for fun or competitively.

Three charities have joined forces to distribute grants to UK researchers examining the impact of COVID-19 on people with diabetes.

Diabetes UK, JDRF, and Moorfields Eye Charity have pledged a total of 315,000 to projects examining which people with diabetes are more at risk from COVID-19, the specific effects for people with type 1 diabetes, and the effects of treatment disruption caused by the pandemic for diabetes patients with vision problems.

Dr Elizabeth Robertson, director of research at Diabetes UK, said: "By understanding how the virus affects people with diabetes, and who might be more at risk of poor outcomes, we will be better able to provide the care, information, and reassurance they need during this difficult time."

Data from England published in May revealed that around 1 in 4 patients who had died in hospital after being diagnosed with COVID-19 also had diabetes.

It also found that people with type 1 diabetes had a higher risk of dying from COVID-19 than those with type 2, or other types of diabetes.

Diabetes UK and JDRF, the type 1 diabetes charity, have co-funded a study into how the coronavirus pandemic is affecting people with type 1 diabetes.

Prof Kathleen Gillespie and her team at the University of Bristol will work with a research group in Milan which has developed a test that can detect coronavirus antibodies in a small sample of blood.

The test will be offered to around 5000 people already participating in ongoing studies of type 1 diabetes, allowing Prof Gillespie to estimate how many people with the condition have contracted COVID-19.

Participants will also be asked to share their experiences of COVID-19 and lockdown including whether they have been shielding, if they have had any COVID-19 symptoms, and how their blood glucose levels have reacted.

Prof Gillespie said: "Although we know that people with type 1 diabetes are at greater risk if they develop COVID-19, we know very little about how this translates to people's experiences of the pandemic.

"With this research, we hope to get a much clearer idea of how the type 1 diabetes community has been affected by coronavirus, and how they can be kept safe and well in future."

John Dennis from the University of Exeter was awarded a share of the funding for a research project aimed at understanding which people with diabetes have a greater risk of poor outcomes from COVID-19.

The independent research fellow in medical statistics will combine and study large health databases to look in detail at different characteristics of people with diabetes, such as their age, and blood sugar levels.

"I think 25% of people in hospital with COVID-19 have diabetes, which is more than you'd expect, based on the standard demographics of people admitted to hospital," he told Medscape News UK.

The ultimate aim of the research was to "provide tools for clinicians to be able to risk stratify people with diabetes after they've been admitted to hospital".

Dr Dennis said the findings could be invaluable to the NHS "in the context of a potential second wave over winter when hospital beds might be at a premium".

He said the 65,000 award was welcome, particularly in the light of fund raising difficulties seen by medical and health charities caused by the pandemic.

Funds were also awarded to the University of Glasgow for a study into the effects of COVID-19 on risk factors for diabetes complications, including blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and bodyweight.

A team led by Naveed Sattar, professor of metabolic medicine, will use health records to look at the impact of the pandemic on these risk factors and rates of diabetes complications over the next 2 years.

They also aim to identify which factors, such as age or ethnicity, put people at higher risk of complications, to help reduce inequalities in treatment.

Diabetes UK and Moorfields Eye Charity have jointly funded a project looking at the impact as a result of the pandemic of deferred treatment on diabetic macular oedema (DMO).

Dr Ranjan Rajendram and colleagues will study individuals with DMO who were scheduled to have anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy (antiVEGF) at Moorfields Eye Hospital but who had their treatment deferred due to the pandemic.

The study aims to improve the care given to people with diabetes during the current, and any future, lockdown, and potentially prevent sight loss.

Dr Robertson said: "With DMO being one of the leading causes of loss of vision in people with diabetes, it is key that we understand what impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the eye health of people with this condition as missed checks and treatments can have devastating consequences."

Type 2 diabetes is a condition which causes too much sugar in the blood. It can have devastating consequences if not managed correctly. Following a particular diet has been strongly recommended to help keep blood sugar healthy. What is it?

When it comes to managing your type 2 diabetes, a healthy diet is essential.

There are things a person can eat and drink which have a low Glycaemic Index and are known to help keep blood sugar levels healthy.

This means these foods wont raise the blood sugar and may help one avoid a blood sugar spike.

When it comes to following one of the best diets for type 2 diabetes, leading health experts recommend a low-GI diet.

What is the glycaemic index in foods?

The glycaemic index (GI) indicates whether a food type raises blood glucose levels quickly, moderately or slowly.

This means it can be useful for a person living with diabetes.

Certain carbohydrates are digested and absorbed at different rates, and GI is the ranking of how quickly each carbohydrate-based food or drink impacts the blood glucose levels.

The GI index runs from 0 to 100 and usually uses pure glucose, which has a GI of around 100, as the reference.

Slowly absorbed carbohydrates have a low GI rating and foods included in this are fruits and vegetables, unsweetened milk, nuts, pulses, and some wholegrain cereals and bread.

In a study with the US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, a low-glycaemic index diet was investigated in how it could help with diabetes.

The study noted: We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to determine whether low-GI diets, compared with conventional or high-GI diets, improved overall glycaemic control in individuals with diabetes.

The study concluded that choosing low-GI foods in place of conventional or high-GI foods has a small but clinically useful effect on medium-term glycaemic control in patients with diabetes.

The incremental benefit is similar to that offered by pharmacological agents that also target postprandial hyperglycaemia.

In another study with the US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, glycaemic index in the diet of European outpatients with diabetes was analysed.

The study said: The relation of the GI to serum cholesterol (total, LDL, and HDL), and fasting triacylglycerol was analysed in 2810 people with type 1 diabetes.

It concluded that the study in European patients with type 1 diabetes showed that a lower dietary GI is related to lower Hb A(1c) concentrations, independently of fibre intake.

The consumption of bread and pasta had the biggest effect on the overall dietary GI of European outpatients.

When it comes to foods which have a low GI rating and help keep blood sugar low, avocados are one of the best.

Medical News Today said: Polyunsaturated fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids are important components of a healthy blood sugar eating plan and avocados could help improve insulin sensitivity.

Other foods include tuna and fish, sour cherries, leafy green vegetables, blueberries, almonds, whole grains and eggs.

Foods with a high GI and best avoided if living with type 2 diabetes include sugar and sugary foods, white bread, white rice and potatoes.

Sugary drinks risks, bakery and confectionary items are sources of hidden sugar

White refined sugar is nothing but empty calories. Health experts and nutritionist recommend avoiding sugary foods for good health and weight loss. Eating too much sugar has been linked to increased risk of diabetes and obesity. According to the American Heart Association, men should not consume more than 9 tsp of sugar in a day. This means 36 gms of 150 calories of added sugar in a day. The number is lower for women. 6 tsp or 25 gms or 100 calories per day from sugar is allowed for women, as per AHA.

To see in contrast, one 12-ounce of soda can contains 8 tsp or 32 gms of added sugar. Imagine, one day's sugar allotment gone in drinking that one can!

Sugary drinks and desserts are biggest culprits when it comes to added sugar in your diet. Other sources of hidden sugar come from juices, processed and packaged food, biscuits, bakery and confectionary foods.

In order to regulate your intake of sugar, it is important that you avoid these foods. Also, there are a few healthy alternatives of sugar that you can add to teas, coffee and even homemade sweets to make them healthier.

1. Honey: Honey is a delicious, healthier alternative to white refined sugar. Though it is high in calories, it has a lower glycaemic index (GI) value than sugar. It does not raise blood sugar levels as quickly. Keep a close eye on the portion sizes.

2. Date sugar: Dates are supremely nutritious and offer multiple health benefits. They can satisfy the urge of something sweet, while also providing you with added nutrition, which is not the case with sugary foods. Dates do contain natural sugar. On an average, a medium-sized date contains 6 gm sugar. But, it is also packed with fibre. This fibre slows down the release of sugar in blood stream, preventing any spikes in blood sugar levels.

3. Coconut sugar: Coconut sugar is extracted from the sap of coconut palm. It contains nutrients like iron, zinc, calcium, potassium and antioxidants. Its GI is lower than sugar and contains insulin. Insulin is a kind of soluble fibre which can slow down digestion, increase feeling of fullness and provide gut-friendly bacteria.

4. Maple syrup: Maple syrup is obtained by cooking down the sap of maple trees. It contains minerals like potassium, calcium, iron, zinc and manganese. Maple syrup is also known to have more antioxidants than honey. Its GI is lower than sugar. Portion size needs to be checked though.

The idea is to control consumption of sugar to prevent weight gain, obesity and diabetes risk. Avoid sources of added sugar mentioned above and you're good to go.

I'm half way through my 12 months as 2020 Australian of the Year.

I wake up every day knowing over 250 Australians will develop type 2 diabetes that day.

To put the full scale of the type 2 diabetes crisis in perspective, in the first three months of the terrifying COVID-19 crisis, we tragically lost just over 100 Australian lives to this microscopic killer.

During the same period, we lost more than 5000 lives to type 2 diabetes, unnecessarily.

Type 2 diabetes is a preventable dietary disease. People don't need to die - they don't even need to develop type 2 diabetes.

Why are we seeing this tragedy unfold? And why is nothing been done about it?

A flawed dietary guideline, which we have obediently and blindly followed for 40 years, is literally killing us.

Dietary advice we've been fed for decades is wrong

https://nnimgt-a.akamaihd.net/transform/v1/crop/frm/R7sDaMurkWxVpij7Babdbr/19dc1a9e-ea69-4ad6-b58e-4c542e235756.jpg/r11_240_4489_2770_w1200_h678_fmax.jpg

Eye surgeon Dr James Muecke on the Five A's that make sugar toxic

We've been encouraged to eat less fat and consume more carbs and yet we've never been fatter, our teeth never more rotten, and type 2 diabetes and its complications never more prevalent.

The scourge of our modern diet has been devastating to Aboriginal people and we're now seeing the disease in children as young as seven.

For two million years, humans evolved on a diverse diet of fresh seasonal foods, and we didn't develop type 2 diabetes.

One hundred years ago, the first dietary guidelines were introduced. At the same time, we saw the introduction of sugary drinks and highly processed foods, the consumption of meat was proclaimed the root of all evil, and - bingo - our health started to plummet.

A multitude of businesses and entire industries have been built on the demonisation of foods sourced from animals.

When the Australian Dietary Guidelines were revised in 2013, a decision was made to not change the recommendations related to dietary saturated fats, despite evidence to the contrary.

Do we really need a guideline to tell us how to eat when its only made us sicker?

It's high time for the Australian Dietary Guidelines to be revised, or removed. I want Australians to be aware the dietary advice we've been fed for decades is wrong.

I want Australians to be aware our dietary guidelines are flawed and the authors conflicted by industry.

The Beverage Council of Australia's deal with the government to reduce the amount of sugar in sugary drinks by 2025 "isn't on track", Dr Muecke writes.

I want Australians to be aware they can eat eggs, full fat dairy and red meat without fearing for their lives or eternal damnation.

The other key factor to our deteriorating health is a lack of accountability, at several critical levels.

At the business level, I've met with major chain stores to bring their attention to the type 2 diabetes crisis and the simple actions they can take to help save lives. Yet there are no plans to remove sugary products from checkouts, where they're preying on our addiction.

At the industry level, I've met with the Beverage Council of Australia. Their deal with the government to reduce the amount of sugar in sugary drinks by 2025 isn't on track and involves broadening the portfolio rather than reducing the amount of sugar in the most highly consumed drinks.

That leaves one last level, the government level. My one last hope.

Government needs to step in to protect the health of all Australians and protect the taxpayers who are funding the type 2 diabetes bill to the tune of $20 billion every year.

In some areas of Australia, over half the adult population has type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes - a disease almost unheard of in the 1960s and that's now making us more susceptible to pandemics.

My strategy was always a multi-pronged approach. There's no doubt a sugar tax would have a powerful impact and the cost saving to the poorest in our society will far outweigh any perceived injustice.

If the stores using predatory marketing tactics aren't willing to do the right thing, if television continues to advertise to our kids, and if the health star rating system is only being used by 30 per cent of manufacturers, then surely it's time for our government to step in?

It's about being brave. Raising awareness and being accountable are pillars to look up to, not to be admonished. If protecting our kids and the vulnerable is about nannying, then so be it.

In some parts of Australia, over half the adult population has type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes - a disease that's now making us more susceptible to pandemics.

As a doctor, I'd rather see government put the health of its people above vested interests.

I'm often asked, "What would a good year as Australian of the Year look like?"

I'd be delighted to see a campaign warning Australians of the multitude of health dangers of sugar and an overhaul of our flawed dietary advice mechanism.

Over 20,000 Australians are dying every year due to a preventable disease. A year in which we started saving lives would be a good year for us all.
