Editor's Notes

  1. https://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/40/Supplement_1/S11.figures-only
  2. https://www.webmd.com/diabetes/features/diabetes-complications-whats-your-risk#1
  3. Insulin allows glucose (sugar) in the blood to move into cells. Insulin resistance prevents the body from using glucose—which it needs! Glucose builds up in the blood
  4. Insulin receptors become desensitized. In type 1, not enough insulin. Type 2 too much so that receptors become blunted to circulating insulin and no longer respond.
  5. Research doesn’t find that any particular nutrient (e.g. sugar) is responsible for T2D onset; it’s an overall pattern of eating and lifestyle. However, reducing sugar and carbohydrate intake can reduce weight and lead to lower blood glucose levels. https://www.pcrm.org/news/blog/does-sugar-cause-diabetes
  6. https://www.pcrm.org/news/news-releases/plant-based-diets-improve-cardiometabolic-risk-factors-diabetes-patients
  7. In winter, lentils are a perfect ingredient! For cranberry recipes see: https://thehealthyapple.com/cranberry-butternut-squash-soup/
  8. Try e.g. hummus pizza https://www.thedailymeal.com/recipes/hummus-pizza-arugula-and-wild-mushrooms-recipe-0
  9. Couscous, hummus, olives, chickpeas, and salad. Google search: Mediterranean recipes
  10. Hummus, baked falafel, and tabbouleh (or tabouli) are great plant-based recipes https://www.themediterraneandish.com/tabouli-salad/
  11. Many versions of garbanzo bean salad: can add artichoke hearts, herbs, green beans, etc. https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/cold-garbanzo-and-cucumber-salad-recipe-1969086
  12. One of the reasons that plant-based or plant-heavy diets may improve outcomes is because they contain lots of fiber. Even though watching carbs is important for people with Type 2 Diabetes (or those trying to prevent it) fiber is a type of carbohydrate that is not digested by the body, so it has no affect on blood glucose. https://dtc.ucsf.edu/living-with-diabetes/diet-and-nutrition/understanding-carbohydrates/counting-carbohydrates/learning-to-read-labels/understanding-fiber/
  13. Studies show that diets higher in fiber, especially cereal fiber, reduce the incidence of type II diabetes. Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25858689
  14. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29510372
  15. Fiber is what gives non-animal products their shape. Indigestible by humans. Insoluble/soluble is indigestible plant material http://www.tarrantgidoctors.com/blog-what-is-fiber.html
  16. Fiber by calories comparison
  17. https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/overnight-oats-3416659
  18. Overnight oats recipe: https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/overnight-oats-3416659
  19. Cronometer.com
  20. 150 sounds like a lot, but it’s just 20 minutes everyday or 30 minutes 5 times a week. Even if you don’t hit your goal, small increases in PA can add up to big benefits
  21. Studies show physical activity increases insulin sensitivity for up to 72 hours https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4995180. There are lots of little ways to increase PA like taking stairs, parking further from store entrance, and lifting weight while watching TV.
  22. Lifting light weights, stretching, or jumping jacks during TV commercial breaks. Exercise arms: Tone It up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUuY-Zy9jZY
  23. In the beginning, I mentioned that you shouldn’t blame yourself. The world makes it very hard for us to eat well and get exercise. But, we do have the ability to change our risk—it’s in our control.
