For anyone suffering from PCOS, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, also known as Stein-Leventhal Syndrome you may have found that you have followed the recommendations given to you about diet and exercise but still have not seen any improvement in your symptoms. Many patients are getting a bad rap due to this, they are being viewed as living an unhealthy lifestyle and not taking responsibility for their health.

But bringing back the carbs can cause problems too. Did you know that many of the carbs we eat every day may cause a condition called insulin resistance? With the extra carbs adding the extra pounds and inches to your body, the insulin hormone runs into a big problem: It can’t help you process fuel, fats, or sugars. When you reach this condition, your body stores even more fat than it should be, mostly around your stomach and hips.

So how do we keep the delicious carbohydrate-filled foods without adding inches and developing insulin resistance? If you’re dedicated to losing weight and achieving health for the rest of your life, this solution is for you! You must understand that thre are two types of carbohydrates; good and bad. Good carbohydrates include non-processed foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Bad carbohydrates include those such as white bread, chips, snacks and other baked or fried foods that have been mechanically processed.

What are the good carboydrates?

These are the carbs we should focus on eating. They come in more natural forms such as whole grain wheat bread, fruit like strawberries and peaches, and vegetables such as carrots, green beans or squash.

What are the bad carbs?

If you want to keep the healthiest blood chemistry, try hard to avoid eating these foods. Some of the foods with “bad” carbohydrates include those such as white bread, chips, snacks and other baked or fried foods that have been mechanically processed. These carbs bad for you because during processing, much or all of the dietary fiber is removed from them, and your body cannot process these new complex carbs with efficiency.

How can it benefit Diabetic sufferers?

As mentioned already, whey protein is the best natural source of protein. Protein can become an element lacking in some Diabetic’s diets, as a result of their dietary alterations. Whey protein also lowers levels of blood glucose and this is thought to happen because higher protein levels stimulate Insulin production from the Pancreas.

This particular element is of no benefit to Insulin dependent Diabetics however, because they have no Insulin production to stimulate. The other elements can help though but as with any dietary change for Diabetic’s, blood glucose levels need to be closely monitored. It is also important to view the amount of protein per serving as this can vary from brand to brand.

In addition to its direct effect on Diabetes, whey protein is also useful in blood pressure control and weight management. These are two problems commonly encountered by diabetics. Whey releases appetite-suppressing hormones in the body, therefore reducing the need to ‘snack’ between main meals. Whey is also quite naturally filling, and so if taken as a ‘snack’ meal itself, it can prove not only healthier than fatty snacks but it will also leave you full until your next main meal.

Whey protein and Diabetes are a good combination but please consult your medical practitioner before undergoing any changes to your diet just to be safe and whey protein powder, nor any other supplement, should replace any medication you are prescribed.

I hope this has been of some use to you and I thank you for reading.

In a healthy person, the beta cells in the pancreas produce a hormone called insulin in response to sugar in the blood. The sugar gets there through the food and drinks we consume. Normally, the insulin helps to move the sugar from the bloodstream and into the cells of the body where it can be used for cellular processes. The insulin triggers gates located in the membranes of the cells to open, allowing the sugar to flow in.

A person with Type I diabetes can not make enough or any insulin. This produces the abnormally high levels of glucose in the bloodstream seen in these patients.

The question begs to be asked, “Why doesn’t the body produce insulin?” In Type I diabetes the culprit is the immune system. Something, whether it be genetic or environmental is still not clear, triggers the immune system to malfunction. Instead of viewing the beta cells of the pancreas as “self”, the immune system sees the beta cells as foreign invaders. Doing what it’s supposed to do, which is attack and destroy invading cells, the immune system in error attacks the beta cells.

Even though other beta cells can be produced by the pancreas, the speed at which the immune system attacks and destroys is too fast for the pancreas to keep up. Over time the amount of insulin produced in response to sugar in the blood is diminished.

The result is high blood sugar. Insulin shots can control the disease, however, there are currently treatments being studied which may actually stop the immune system from attacking itself which would bring about a natural halt to the problem.
