The book "Sugar Balance" and the bonuses to it will give you detailed insights into how different foods affect blood sugar levels with advice on selecting foods that help maintain steady glucose levels. Suggested meal plans or recipes that are low in sugar and refined carbohydrates, high in fiber, and include appropriate portions to help in managing diabetes. Guidelines on the types and amounts of physical activity beneficial for improving insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism, which are crucial for people with diabetes. Such a book can be a valuable resource for those looking to manage diabetes more effectively through lifestyle changes. The recipes we offer are quick and easy to implement.

About 422 million people worldwide have diabetes. In USA 38.4 million people have diabetes (11.6% of the US population) and 97.6 million people aged 18 years or older have prediabetes (38.0% of the adult US population).

The real, often unsuspected problem at the root of diabetes and insulin resistance in many individuals could be a combination of underlying factors that go beyond the obvious issues related to blood sugar control. These factors can be multifaceted and not immediately apparent to the person affected:

Insulin Sensitivity and Pancreatic Health: People might not realize the extent to which their lifestyle and diet affect their insulin sensitivity and the health of their pancreas. Chronic overnutrition, especially high intake of processed and sugary foods, can lead to insulin resistance, a condition where the body's cells do not respond effectively to insulin.

Gut Health and Microbiome Imbalance: Emerging research suggests that the gut microbiome plays a significant role in metabolic health. An imbalance in gut bacteria can contribute to inflammation and insulin resistance, yet this aspect is often overlooked in standard diabetes care.

Chronic Inflammation: Low-grade, systemic inflammation can be a significant contributor to insulin resistance. This inflammation can stem from various sources, including diet, stress, sedentary lifestyle, and environmental factors.

Hormonal Imbalances: Other hormones, besides insulin, like cortisol (stress hormone), sex hormones, and thyroid hormones, can significantly impact blood sugar control and insulin sensitivity.

Lifestyle Factors: Factors such as chronic stress, poor sleep quality, and physical inactivity are often underestimated in their impact on blood sugar regulation and insulin sensitivity.

Environmental Toxins: Exposure to certain environmental toxins has been linked to an increased risk of developing insulin resistance and diabetes.

Psychological Aspects: Emotional stress, anxiety, and depression can have a profound impact on blood sugar control and overall management of diabetes and insulin resistance, yet these factors are frequently under-addressed.

Addressing these underlying issues requires a holistic approach to treatment and management, which goes beyond simply monitoring blood sugar levels and administering medication. It involves a comprehensive lifestyle modification, addressing dietary habits, physical activity, stress management, sleep quality, and possibly environmental and psychological factors.
