In addition to helping people with diabetes manage their blood sugar levels, this GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist) medication helps reduce appetite and curb food cravings ...
Processed carbs such as crackers can be difficult for people with diabetes, both Types 1 and 2. Snacking on high-protein crackers made mostly or exclusively from seeds provides a savory crunch ...
For type 1 diabetics, there is a lack of definitive evidence of the usefulness of low-carbohydrate diets due to limited study of this topic. [1] [11] [12] A meta-analysis published in 2018 found only nine papers that had adequately studied the implementation of low carbohydrate diets in type 1 diabetics as of March 2017. [12]
The main goal of diabetes management is to keep blood glucose (BG) levels as normal as possible. [1] If diabetes is not well controlled, further challenges to health may occur. [1] People with diabetes can measure blood sugar by various methods, such as with a BG meter or a continuous glucose monitor, which monitors over several days. [2]
Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors (AGIs) are oral anti-diabetic drugs used for diabetes mellitus type 2 that work by preventing the digestion of carbohydrates (such as starch and table sugar). They are found in raw plants/herbs such as cinnamon and bacteria (containing the inhibitor acarbose).
Adults with mild type 2 diabetes might improve their insulin sensitivity by following a low-carb diet, thus potentially eliminating the need for medication, a new study suggests.
Drugs used in diabetes treat types of diabetes mellitus by decreasing glucose levels in the blood. With the exception of insulin , most GLP-1 receptor agonists ( liraglutide , exenatide , and others), and pramlintide , all diabetes medications are administered orally and are thus called oral hypoglycemic agents or oral antihyperglycemic agents.
