Eric Holzman, a type 1 diabetic, teaches a course on managing diabetes. The course covers topics like the role of insulin, types of diabetes, blood glucose testing, medication including insulin, diet, exercise, and problem solving techniques for diabetes management. The goal is to teach diabetics the skills to maintain normal blood glucose levels and good health through tight control of what they eat, medication, exercise, testing and responding to changes in their condition. The course emphasizes an evidence-based and problem-solving approach drawing on Holzman's experience as a diabetic managing his condition daily.
This document provides an overview of human physiology as it relates to diabetes management. It discusses several key topics:
- The importance of understanding how the body works for managing diabetes, likening doctors to auto mechanics
- How organs like the pancreas, liver, and intestines regulate blood glucose levels
- How the body derives energy from macronutrients like carbohydrates, proteins and fats
- The metabolic processes of digesting and absorbing nutrients from food
- How glucose is used by cells for energy or stored as glycogen
- The roles of insulin and other hormones in metabolizing carbohydrates and fat
The document summarizes the key points from presentations by Dr. T. Colin Campbell, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, and Dr. Neal Barnard on adopting a whole foods plant-based diet. A plant-based diet can help prevent and reverse many chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer by lowering cholesterol and blood pressure. It emphasizes eating grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes while avoiding meat, dairy, eggs, and processed foods. Studies show this diet can not only treat symptoms but address the underlying causes of disease.
This document provides an overview of the principles of a nutritional reset plan, which aims to eliminate problematic foods in order to restore health. The plan involves eliminating grains, sugar, dairy, legumes and alcohol for 30 days to meet "good food standards" and address psychological responses to food, hormonal effects, gut integrity and balance, and inflammation. The document outlines the scientific rationale for the plan and provides guidance on implementing it, including meal planning, expected effects, and resources for support.
Wellspiration 1 - The most effective nutrition tips you've never heard ofYafa Sakkejha
This document provides nutrition tips and information on various health topics from several doctors and nutritionists. It discusses how sugar lowers IQ, causes wrinkles and aging, and can induce behavioral changes similar to drugs due to its effects on the brain. It also covers how green smoothies, exercise and laughter can help kill sugar cravings. Other topics covered include how artificial sweeteners and diet foods can cause weight gain, and how conditions like arthritis, schizophrenia and diabetes may be reversible through lifestyle and dietary changes.
The document discusses the Carb Back Loading (CBL) nutrition protocol. CBL involves delaying carbohydrate intake until later in the day after exercise. It aims to control insulin levels to promote fat burning while allowing muscle building and recovery. CBL proponents claim it can improve fat loss and energy levels by limiting carbohydrates during the day and focusing intake around strength training in the afternoon and evening meals. The protocol emphasizes nutrient timing to manipulate hormones and glucose uptake in a way that favors muscle over fat storage of calories.
This document summarizes key points from a Whole30 presentation on how certain foods can affect health and hormones in detrimental ways. It was explained that sugar causes metabolic changes like insulin resistance over time and can lead to diabetes. Grains, dairy, and legumes were said to be inflammatory. The presenters advocated eliminating foods that do not support a healthy gut, hormonal response, or immune function for 30 days to restore balance. Healthy eating was encouraged for both general wellness and athletic performance. Community support was also noted as important for reaching goals.

Post-workout nutrition and hydration are highlighted as critical for recovery and repair of muscle tissue.
The ketogenic diet was initially developed in the 1920s to mimic the metabolic effects of fasting for treating epilepsy. It has since shown benefits for a variety of metabolic, oncologic, neurodegenerative, and psychiatric disorders through mechanisms like improving mitochondrial function and ATP production. Common indications for the ketogenic diet include epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, cancer, traumatic brain injury, autism, and depression. Side effects can include low-level acidosis, constipation, and nutrient deficiencies.
The lecture of Drs. Cady and Gabhart, presented at the Evansville Public LIbrary on both common-sensical as well as more endocrinological refined methods for achieving weight loss.
The document discusses intermittent fasting and the benefits of spending more time in the fasted state. It explains that the body has fed and fasted states, and can only burn stored body fat when in the fasted state with low insulin levels. Spending less time in the fasted state due to frequent eating can lead to insulin resistance over time. Intermittent fasting is presented as a way to train the body to burn fat more efficiently by extending time in the fasted state and practicing fat burning. Overall benefits include improved insulin sensitivity, fat loss, and metabolic and cellular changes that support fat burning.
Here are the changes I would suggest with ageing for each item:
- Muscle strength - decrease
- Memory and coordination - decrease
- Lung tissue elasticity - decrease
- Lung capacity - decrease
- Max heart rate - decrease
- Artery hardening - increase
The key changes with ageing that affect physical fitness and performance are a general decline in both anaerobic and aerobic capacity. Muscle strength, power and flexibility tend to decrease with ageing due to factors like muscle atrophy and loss of elastic tissues. Cardiovascular and respiratory functions also experience a gradual decline with reductions in maximum heart rate, stroke volume and lung capacity amongst other changes.
Ben Rockefeller will be hosting an evening event on blood type eating. The event will include videos on food combining, a presentation on food combining, and a question and answer session. Blood type eating is based on the idea that foods should be chosen based on one's blood type to aid digestion and health. The evening will provide information on how foods are suggested to be beneficial, neutral, or to be avoided according to one's blood type (O, A, B, or AB) and will address common questions about blood type diets.
Adam's presentation on Alternate Day and Intermittent Fasting ADF/IFBernie Williams
ADF/IF refers to nutrition protocols that extend the usual daily fasting period. ADF involves fasting whole days, while IF extends the ordinary fasting period by delaying the first meal. Both aim to reduce total caloric intake. Studies show calorie restriction can increase lifespan and reduce disease risk. IF methods include 16/8 fasting and alternate-day fasting. Purported benefits include improved blood glucose, reduced inflammation, and weight loss. The best protocol is one that can be consistently followed while still reducing weekly calorie intake.

The document is a lecture on managing diabetes given by Eric Holzman. It discusses:
1) How carbohydrates are converted to glucose and excess glucose is stored as fat. Blood glucose levels are tightly controlled by the pancreas and liver in healthy individuals.
2) Insulin is required for glucose to enter cells, and diabetics have problems with insulin. Untreated diabetes can lead to dangerously high blood glucose levels.
3) Type 1 diabetes occurs when the immune system attacks the pancreas's insulin-producing cells. Type 2 diabetes occurs when cells do not respond effectively to insulin. Both result in too much glucose in the blood over time.
4) Diabetes left untreated causes damage
This document discusses the importance of blood glucose monitoring for diabetics. It makes three key points:
1) Without blood glucose testing, diabetics are "blind" to their levels and cannot properly manage their condition through medication, diet, and exercise. Their bodies require external monitoring and adjustment that a normal pancreas provides.
2) Frequent testing, such as before and after meals, allows diabetics to determine if their insulin doses are correct and achieve tight control of their levels. It is essential for safety, especially for insulin users to test before bed.
3) Choosing an accurate glucometer is important. Features like small sample size, quick results, and data storage can help diabetics properly monitor
Diabetes is the most common lifestyle disorder in today's time. It need lifestyle modification. As experts suggests there is no cure for diabetes, but balanced diet and regular activity will help in managing the condition.
Diabetes occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin. There are two main types of diabetes - type 1 where the body does not produce insulin and type 2 where the body does not produce enough insulin or cells ignore it. Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to serious complications affecting eyes, kidneys, heart, nerves, and feet. Management involves monitoring blood sugar levels, following a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and potentially taking medications or insulin injections. The goal is to control blood sugar and prevent or delay complications through an optimal treatment plan.
This document provides fast facts about diabetes, including definitions, statistics, types, symptoms, and treatment/management strategies. It defines diabetes as a group of metabolic diseases resulting in high blood glucose due to inadequate insulin production or lack of response to insulin. Key points:
- Over 382 million people worldwide have diabetes as of 2013.
- The two main types are Type 1 (body does not produce insulin) and Type 2 (body does not produce enough insulin).

Diabetes is a chronic disease characterized by abnormal metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats leading to hyperglycemia. There are four main types of diabetes: type 1 caused by destruction of insulin-producing beta cells; type 2 caused by insufficient insulin production or cells ignoring insulin; gestational diabetes during pregnancy; and other specific types. Diabetes is diagnosed through four testing options measuring glucose levels. Key aspects of managing diabetes include monitoring carbohydrate and calorie intake, exercising regularly, maintaining normal blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure levels, and receiving routine eye, foot and dental exams.
This document provides guidance on managing diabetes through diet, exercise, medication, and monitoring. It outlines key actions people with diabetes should take, including aiming for normal blood glucose levels, counting carbohydrates, exercising daily, frequent blood glucose testing, keeping records, and annual physical exams. Close regulation of diet, medication, exercise, weight, and blood glucose testing is necessary to effectively manage diabetes on a daily basis.
Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by high blood sugar levels resulting from defects in insulin production, insulin action, or both. There are three main types of diabetes: type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is caused by an autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or does not produce enough insulin. Gestational diabetes affects females during pregnancy. Diabetes is diagnosed through blood and urine tests and managed through diet, exercise, medication and monitoring of blood sugar levels. Complications of diabetes can be prevented through proper treatment and management of the condition.
- Diabetes mellitus is a disease where the body cannot properly regulate blood glucose levels. There are four main types of diabetes: type 1, type 2, gestational diabetes, and prediabetes.
- Common complications of diabetes include damage to blood vessels like atherosclerosis, eyes like retinopathy, nerves like neuropathy, and kidneys like nephropathy.
- Diabetes is diagnosed through blood tests like fasting plasma glucose and A1C levels and managed through lifestyle changes like diet, exercise, not smoking as well as medication when needed.
Diabetes is a condition where the body cannot properly process glucose due to a lack of insulin or insulin resistance. There are two main types of diabetes: type 1 occurs most often in children/young adults and is caused by the immune system attacking insulin-producing cells, while type 2 accounts for 90-95% of cases and is associated with obesity and physical inactivity. Symptoms can include blurred vision, fatigue, frequent urination, and weight loss. Treatment involves lifestyle changes like diet, exercise, blood sugar monitoring, and sometimes insulin or other medications to control blood sugar levels and prevent complications. Good control is important to avoid damage to organs and tissues.

Storyboard on Skin- Innovative Learning (M-pharm) 2nd sem. (Cosmetics)MuskanShingari
Skin is the largest organ of the human body, serving crucial functions that include protection, sensation, regulation, and synthesis. Structurally, it consists of three main layers: the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis (subcutaneous layer).
1. **Epidermis**: The outermost layer primarily composed of epithelial cells called keratinocytes. It provides a protective barrier against environmental factors, pathogens, and UV radiation.
2. **Dermis**: Located beneath the epidermis, the dermis contains connective tissue, blood vessels, hair follicles, and sweat glands. It plays a vital role in supporting and nourishing the epidermis, regulating body temperature, and housing sensory receptors for touch, pressure, temperature, and pain.
3. **Hypodermis**: Also known as the subcutaneous layer, it consists of fat and connective tissue that anchors the skin to underlying structures like muscles and bones. It provides insulation, cushioning, and energy storage.
Skin performs essential functions such as regulating body temperature through sweat production and blood flow control, synthesizing vitamin D when exposed to sunlight, and serving as a sensory interface with the external environment.
Maintaining skin health is crucial for overall well-being, involving proper hygiene, hydration, protection from sun exposure, and avoiding harmful substances. Skin conditions and diseases range from minor irritations to chronic disorders, emphasizing the importance of regular care and medical attention when needed.

The development of nanogold-based cancer therapy could revolutionize oncology by providing a more targeted, less invasive treatment option. This project contributes to the growing body of research aimed at harnessing nanotechnology for medical applications, paving the way for future clinical trials and potential commercial applications.
Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, prompting the need for innovative treatment methods. Nanotechnology offers promising new approaches, including the use of gold nanoparticles (nanogold) for targeted cancer therapy. Nanogold particles possess unique physical and chemical properties that make them suitable for drug delivery, imaging, and photothermal therapy.
This presentation gives information on the pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes i.e. Eicosanoids. Eicosanoids are signaling molecules derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids like arachidonic acid. They are involved in complex control over inflammation, immunity, and the central nervous system. Eicosanoids are synthesized through the enzymatic oxidation of fatty acids by cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes. They have short half-lives and act locally through autocrine and paracrine signaling.

Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.

We Need Insulin to Use the
Fuel in the Food We Eat
• Three sources of fuel in our food: carbohydrates, protein and fat
– Carbohydrates (CHO) are mostly found in plant-based foods.
– Protein and fat are in animal-based foods, nuts and legumes.
• Our digestive system converts all carbohydrates to glucose (a sugar).
• Glucose passes from our digestive system to our blood stream.
• Glucose enters our cells, where it is metabolized (burned).
• Insulin is required to transfer glucose across the cellular boundary.

Managing Diabetes
Diabetes is Caused by the Body’s
Inability to make or use Insulin
• Specialized cells in the pancreas create insulin.
• Type 1 diabetes: body attacks pancreas, destroys insulin-making cells.
• Type 2 diabetes: insulin is ineffective in transporting glucose across cell wall.
• Diabetics have too much glucose in their blood.
• Over time, high blood glucose wears out the entire circulatory system.

My Story—Taking Control of My Daily Health Care
• Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2000.
• My Symptoms were classic.
– loss of weight
– unquenchable thirst after meals
– 300 mg/dL glucometer readings (90 mg/dL is normal)
• I took control of my health.
– Visited an endocrinologist for confirmation
– Began a permanent low carbohydrate diet
– Started frequent blood glucose testing
– Began injecting insulin
– Read books on diabetes and human physiology
– Joined a diabetes internet list
– Developed my own daily regimen

Managing Diabetes Means
Controlling Blood Glucose All the Time
• Doctors and other medical professionals are on the periphery.
– diagnose, provide occasional advice, write prescriptions, & treat complications.
• We diabetics must control our disease every day.
• Our goal: a normal blood glucose (sugar) level all the time.
• Success often requires a permanent diet and weight loss, daily physical
activity, frequent blood glucose testing and medication.

You Cannot Beat Diabetes Unless You are on a Diet
• If you eat whatever you want, you will not live a normal lifespan.
• Medication cannot enable you to eat whatever you want.
• Carbohydrates (foods from plants) are the problem.
• You will have to eliminate most “worthless” carbs from your diet.
• How low carb is low enough? Depends on how well you control your
blood glucose level.

Medication—both you and your doctor have a say
• Your doctor prescribes your medication, but you determine the dose.
• Insulin—acts over the short term (minutes, hours).
– The size of each dose is 100% your decision.
– The dose changes continuously.
• meal-to-meal,
• morning to night,
• day-to-day,
• during sickness,
• with activity level
• Pills—act over long term (days and weeks).
– Your doctor selects a particular medication.
– You observe the effect on your blood glucose level.
– You provide feedback to the doctor, who changes your prescription.

Exercise is Worth the Time and Effort
• Improves your health.
• Makes diabetes management easier by increasing
insulin sensitivity: reduces your body’s need for
insulin.
• One of only two ways (the other is insulin) to lower
blood glucose rapidly.
• Just half an hour a day can make a difference.
– Immediate benefit.
– Short term lowering of blood glucose level.
– Can eat some forbidden food.
• The more you do, the more your body’s insulin needs
will be reduced.

Weight—Less is More!
• Maintaining a healthy weight can be a challenge.
– We are genetically programmed to eat a “see-food” diet.
– In our society, food is always available!
• The more you weigh, the more insulin your body needs.
• Too much weight can cause Type 2 diabetes.
• Maintaining enough weight can be a problem for some Type 1 diabetics.

11. A Diabetic’s Guide to
Managing Diabetes
Blood Glucose Testing is Essential for Success
• There is some glucose in your blood at all times.
• A glucometer measures the amount of glucose in a blood sample.
• Diabetics can have readings many times above normal.
• Your activity influences your blood glucose level throughout the day.
– Eating
– Exercise
– Medication
– Time of the day
• Frequent blood testing enables us to “see” the changes.
• Decision making is required to respond to changes.
9-13-07 by Eric Holzman 11
12. A Diabetic’s Guide to
Managing Diabetes
Diabetes Management is About Observing,
Recording and Responding to Change
• I maintain my blood glucose level within the normal range daily.
– Low carbohydrate diet (100-120 grams a day)
– Walking 25 minutes (1½ miles) a day. Stationary bike 10 minutes a day.
– seven blood glucose tests a day
– self-regulation of my insulin doses as needed
• My daily written record tells me how my body changes over time.
– how many grams of carbohydrates I ingest at each meal
– how many units of insulin I inject at each meal
– how many minutes I exercise
• Accuracy and consistency are essential so I can observe the changes.
– in testing
– counting of carbohydrates
• My skill in problem solving helps me respond to the changes.
• After many years, the testing, weighing, calculations and insulin
injections have become second nature.

13. A Diabetic’s Guide to
Managing Diabetes
Success in Managing Diabetes
Means “Normal” to Me
• Normal glucometer readings.
– Monthly average of 200+ readings ranges is normal.
– 80+% of daily blood glucose tests are <100 mg/dL (90 mg/dL is normal).
– Blood glucose readings are rarely far below normal.
• Normal HbA1c test result (4.0% to 5.9%).
• Excellent overall health.
• Eat a healthy diet of foods that taste good and are satiating.
• Ability to do the activities I enjoy.

9-13-07 by Eric Holzman 16
17. A Diabetic’s Guide to
Managing Diabetes
As an Engineer, I am Trained in Problem Solving,
the Key to Diabetes Management
• Diabetes management involves constant problem solving
– daily changes in your body’s response to food
– changes in your activity level (weekends vs. weekdays)
– exercising and maintaining an acceptable blood glucose level
– responding to low and high blood glucose
• My body is an experiment requiring skills of
– observation
– accurate record keeping
– interpretation
– problem solving
– decision making
• These skills can be learned and become second nature with practice.
9-13-07 by Eric Holzman 17
18. A Diabetic’s Guide to
Managing Diabetes
My Goal is to Teach You the Skills You
Need to Manage Your Diabetes
• My focus: how to maintain a normal blood glucose level and overall
good health.
• What to eat and not to eat
• How to exercise
• The differences between insulin and other medications
• How to test your blood glucose consistently and accurately
• What information to record
• How to record key information with a minimum of effort
• How to respond to changes that occur every day

9-13-07 by Eric Holzman 18
19. A Diabetic’s Guide to
Managing Diabetes
Can Good Diabetes Management Be
Achieved Without an Intensive Regimen?
• My diabetes regimen is intensive because my blood glucose level is very
sensitive
– to what I eat, to how much I exercise and to the amount of insulin I inject.
• Most type 1 diabetics must follow a similar regimen.
• The more intensive your regimen, the better your blood glucose control.
However…
• The vast majority of diabetics suffer from type 2, which varies in its severity.
• If your diabetes is mild, you may be able to regain a normal blood glucose
level
– by losing weight, cutting out desserts and increasing your activity level.
– by merely taking a semi-annual HbA1c test to monitor your overall condition.
– without taking insulin or any other medication.
• You can still learn a great deal from this course about diet and exercise.
• The condition of many type 2 diabetics deteriorates over time, so it is
important to learn what measures you can take to stay healthy.

20. A Diabetic’s Guide to
Managing Diabetes
What We Won’t Talk About—
Most Medications and Complications
• Not much advice regarding medications…other than insulin.
• Information on medications is widely available
– diabetes periodicals such as the ADA’s Diabetes Forecast
– your doctor should advise you.
• No discussion on complications—we want to prevent them.
• If you are suffering from complications you should consult your doctor.
– You will need to control your blood glucose tightly, and this course can help
you do that.
Manage your diabetes and
prevent complications like these!
