A diabetic's diet and lifestyle may not be enough to help you control your blood sugar. Throughout the day blood sugar levels can decrease rapidly, or increase dramatically after breakfast. Coupled with oral medication and regulated insulin, diabetics can maintain their blood sugar effectively. When your blood sugar decreases excessively, glucose tablets are an immediate source of sugar. It is an easy digestible sugar tablets that your doctor can recommend one individual tablet dosage.
More than millions of adults over the age of twenty don't realize that they have diabetes. When diabetes is uncontrolled, it leads to several complications like blindness, kidney diseases, and amputation. There is a need for a diabetic diet when a person's blood glucose greater than 200 mg/dl and you have been formally diagnosed with diabetes by your doctor.
Good diabetes diet helps in preventing complications. It is a diet planned for people with diabetes who have specified dietary needs. The general guideline for an effective procedure controlling blood sugars and diabetes includes diet lower in calories, complex carbohydrates in vegetables, fruits, beans, and grain cereals, low in saturated fats and polyunsaturated fats like olive or canola oil. People with diabetes should eat mostly high fiber carbs, protein limited for daily calories, and limit saturated fat to seven percent lesser. Fewer carbohydrates and a boost in protein are required for those with type 2 diabetes who are overweight or obese. A weight reduction diet is recommended for type 2 diabetics. Total amount of carbohydrate should be in the same amount with every meal, and upon the medical advice of your doctor. Good nutrition for diabetes is necessary for normal blood sugar control, blood pressure, and healthy cholesterol level. Your health care provider can help you to achieve a personalized meal plan which is an important part of your medical needs along with recommended lifestyle and activities.
It is important to eat every day to maintain your normal blood sugar level. Eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, and other forms of protein keep you in healthy weight. Foods high in fiber are whole grain breads, fruits, and cereal and generally those containing important vitamins and minerals.
People with type 2 diabetes who eat a high fiber diet improve their blood sugar and cholesterol levels. A properly balanced diet for diabetes helps maintain a healthy weight, reducing your risk of diabetes complication like heart disease and high blood pressure. Your dietitian is a professionally trained nutrition educator helping you to acquire a personalized meal plan that would benefit your lifestyle, medical needs, and physical activities.
People with diabetes can live productive lives, working, enjoying friends and family. Following a healthy lifestyle is not only important but required for diabetics.

VIENNA (AP) ? Iran has effectively shut down a probe of a site suspected of being used for work on nuclear weapons development while doubling the number of machines it could use to make the core of nuclear warheads at an underground bunker safe from airborne attack, the U.N. nuclear agency said in a report Thursday.
Senior diplomats familiar with the International Atomic Energy Agency's latest report called both developments troubling, while cautioning that it was unclear how many of the more than 2,000 centrifuges now installed at the Fordo site were operational. They noted that agency inspectors did not have access to check their inner workings.
They also said it was unclear what the ultimate use of the machines would be, if and when they are turned on. Iran is enriching uranium at a level that could be used for reactor fuel as well as grades closer to?the level used for nuclear warheads, and the officials said Iranian officials had not said what level the centrifuges now installed but not working would be used for.
The two diplomats, who are familiar with the IAEA's Iran investigation, demanded anonymity because they were not authorized to comment on the confidential report.
Importantly, the report noted that Iran had not significantly increased the pace of either low or higher-level uranium enrichment. It noted that less than 700 of the machines ? all producing higher level material at 20 percent ? were operating at Fordo, and about 10,000 were turning out lower-level enriched uranium at another site.
Those are approximately the same numbers as mentioned in the agency's last report in May.
The report also noted that Iran has turned much of the uranium that was enriched to the higher, 20-percent levels into reactor fuel plates that are difficult to retool into fissile warhead material. As a result, it is still far short of the amount of higher enriched uranium it would need to quickly enrich the element further to weapons-grade levels.
While Iran already has enough low-grade enriched uranium to make several nuclear weapons, that process would take long enough to send alarm signals to the outside world.
Tom Z. Collina and Daryl Kimball of the Washington-based Arms Control Association said the common assumption is "that if Tehran were to decide to 'break out' and race to build a bomb, it would try to do so by using its still small stock of 20-percent enriched uranium."
They called the IAEA report "another troubling reminder of Iran's proliferation potential," while describing it as "not a 'game-changer' in terms of Tehran's capability to build a nuclear arsenal if it were to decide to do so."
Iran denies any interest in nuclear arms, insisting it is enriching uranium only to make reactor fuel and medical isotopes, and for scientific research. Still, concerns have grown about its ultimate aims because it has refused to stop enriching uranium despite increasingly severe international sanctions and outside offers of enriched material for its stated needs.
As signs grow that international efforts are failing to engage Iran diplomatically on its nuclear program, so are threats of attack from Israel, which says it will not tolerate an Iran armed with nuclear weapons.
Asked about the latest report, White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters that President Barack Obama "has made clear frequently that he is determined to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and he has led an unprecedented effort to pressure Iran to live up to its obligations."
"The window of opportunity to resolve this diplomatically remains open but it will not remain open indefinitely," he said.
In Tehran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader, denied his country wanted such arms, describing the pursuit of nuclear weapons on Thursday as a?"big and unforgiveable sin." But he insisted Tehran will not abandon its "peaceful" atomic program.
"I declare that the Islamic Republic of Iran has never been after nuclear weapons and it will never abandon its right for peaceful use of nuclear energy," Khamenei? told a summit of 120 nations that call themselves nonaligned and generally share distrust of highly developed Western countries they view as suppressing their rights.
Khamenei singled out the United States, which accuses the Islamic Republic of trying to reach the nuclear weapons threshold, by calling Washington's stance a "bitter satire" because of the size of America's nuclear arsenal and its use of atomic bombs against Japan during World War II.
Khamenei, who has final say in matters of state, has denied that Iran harbors nuclear weapons aspirations before, and U.S. State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell said Washington was not reassured by the supreme leader's comments.
"We have heard that before, but mottos and pledges and slogans are one thing," he told reporters, adding, "we have not seen them come into compliance" with international demands.
Aside from enrichment, suspicions that Tehran is working secretly on developing various components of nuclear arms have also added to international concerns about its intentions.
Thursday's report confirmed that a building at Iran's Parchin military installation southeast of Tehran, which was suspected of having been used for nuclear weapons-related experiments, has been covered with pink shrouding. That effectively blocks the U.N. agency's attempts to monitor a suspected cleanup of the site.
The?agency has tried ? and failed ? to gain access to the site since February. When it does, "its ability to conduct effective verification will have been significantly hampered" because of the alleged cleanup and then the covering of the site, said the confidential report circulated among the IAEA's 35 board member nations and forwarded to the U.N. Security Council.
Because of the lack of Iranian cooperation, the agency "is unable to provide credible assurance about the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities in Iran, and therefore to conclude that all nuclear material in Iran is in peaceful activities," said the report.

The death toll from a gas explosion at a coal mine in China has risen to 37, with another 10 people trapped, authorities said Friday, in one of the country's worst mining accidents of the last year.
There were 154 workers underground when the blast hit the Xiaojiawan mine in southwest China's Sichuan province on Wednesday morning -- the latest in a string of fatal incidents for an industry known for poor safety standards.
Rescue workers have struggled to gain access to the area where the miners are trapped, hampered by temperatures as high as 90 degrees Celsius (190 degrees Fahrenheit) and high levels of poisonous carbon monoxide gas.
Emergency crews have pulled 34 bodies from the mine, while another three workers were rescued but later died of their injuries, the official Xinhua news agency said. Another 17 are being treated for serious injuries.
The city government could not immediately be reached for comment, but a statement posted online confirmed that the death toll had risen to 37. State media said on Thursday that 26 had died.
It is believed to be the worst coal mining accident to hit China since an explosion last November in a mine in southwestern Yunnan province killed 43 people.
It is not clear whether the 10 remaining trapped miners are still alive, but state media reports said 145 more rescuers had been dispatched to the site of the disaster on Thursday.
The China Daily, quoting the government's head of mine safety, said the roof of the mine was also in danger of collapsing, further hampering rescue efforts.
Authorities have detained three mine owners and frozen the mine's accounts while they investigate the incident and have begun discussing compensation with the victims' families, the China Daily said.
China's mines are among the world's deadliest due to lax regulation, corruption and inefficiency. Accidents are common because safety is often neglected by bosses seeking quick profits.
The latest official figures show 1,973 people died in coal mining accidents in China in 2011, a 19 percent fall on the previous year.
Labour rights groups, however, say the actual death toll is likely to be much higher, partly due to under-reporting of accidents as mine bosses seek to limit their economic losses and avoid punishment.
China is the world's leading consumer of coal, relying on the fossil fuel for 70 percent of its growing energy needs.
One can never look at the infamous 1921 Tulsa Race Riot as an isolated event. It was not that at all. Such cataclysmic incidents seldom are. The signs of the times were like neon lights flashing across the sky.
We can begin with World War I, when the black citizens of America answered the call to serve their country.
During World War I 380,000 African Americans served in the wartime Army. Approximately 200,000 of these were sent to Europe. More than half of those sent abroad were assigned to labor and stevedore battalions, but they performed essential duties nonetheless, building roads, bridges, and trenches in support of the front-line battles. Roughly 42,000 saw combat.*
It?s only natural that these men returned home with the belief that they would be honored in the same manner as their white counterparts. It was not to be.
Unprecedented Number of Lynchings
In 1919, there were an unprecedented sixty-one lynchings of African-Americans in the U.S. In 1920, another sixty-one; and in 1921 fifty-seven. It?s difficult in these times to imagine the extreme degree of lawlessness that existed to allow such slaughter to occur.
Not relegated only to America, World-wide efforts sprang up to halt such racial hostilities. One such effort was the Pan-African Congress in Paris organized by Harvard-educated Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois. (Du Bois had distinguished himself as being the first African-American to earn a doctorate in the U.S.)
The more the black communities stepped out to assert themselves, the more fear, suspicion, bitterness, and jealousy grew among the white communities.
The Emergence of Greenwood
It was because of the discovery of oil in and around Tulsa, creating new millionaires, that the black community of Greenwood (located just north of Tulsa proper) blossomed. The two sections were totally and absolutely segregated ? separated by the railroad tracks.
Rich oil barons needed domestic help ? gardeners, cooks, nannies, chauffeurs, and the like ? to take care of their needs. Thus the black community had jobs in Tulsa which then created the opportunity for businesses to arise and flourish in Greenwood.
A number of entrepreneurs emerged in Greenwood, such as a lawyer named J.B. Stradford. Stradford owned a large hotel, a savings and loan company and many pieces of real estate. Businesses and services created a busy shopping district that included a movie theater, newspapers, churches, schools and a hospital. It is said that it was Booker T. Washington who named the area, ?Black Wall Street.?
It was a strange and unsettled time that looked so perfect on the surface. But appearances can be deceptive.

Solving 1960s genetics mystery could clear obstacles for synthetic biologists
HOUSTON -- (Aug. 30, 2012) -- The threads of an evolutionary mystery that dates to the birth of molecular biology are beginning to unravel, thanks to a new investigation by computational bioengineers at Rice University and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
In new research published online this week in PLOS Computational Biology, Rice's Oleg Igoshin and MD Anderson's Christian Ray offer a possible explanation for the existence of jointly controlled clusters of genes called operons, which are found in bacterial chromosomes but not in those of higher order organisms like humans.
The new study harkens to one of the earliest 20th-century discoveries in molecular biology, and it could help clear 21st-century hurdles for synthetic biologists.
In the early 1960s, just as scientists were discovering how cells transcribed information from DNA to create the necessary proteins for life, French scientists Jacques Monod and Franois Jacob found that the bacterium Escherichia coli used three specialized genes to create the proteins it needed to break down and digest lactose. They also found that these three metabolic genes were switched on and off together from a single control point.
Monod and Jacob had discovered the first operon, a set of multiple genes that are controlled as one. It marked the first time that scientists had identified a gene regulatory network, and it earned them a share of the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Monod and Jacob's lac operon turned out to be the first of many bacterial operons. But by the late 1960s, it was clear that operons weren't the biological norm. None have ever been found in humans, for instance, and very few have been identified in multicellular organisms.
"There's never been a definitive explanation for why nature would preferentially select for operons in prokaryotes but not in eukaryotes," said Igoshin, associate professor of bioengineering at Rice. "In addition, we do not know how genes get grouped into operons. Why, for example, are some interacting genes selected to be in one operon while others are not?"
Igoshin and Ray are computational bioengineers who apply mathematics and computational bioinformatics to study cell signaling and other biochemical processes. Ray, a former Rice postdoctoral research associate in Igoshin's research group, is now in the Department of Systems Biology at MD Anderson. Ray and Igoshin began investigating operons in late 2009 to determine whether their evolution might have been influenced by the "noisy" nature of biochemical signals that regulate bacterial gene transcription.
"When a cell is responding to its environment, it can use regulators to control gene expression, but the amount of control that the cell has is limited by the number of molecules like messenger RNAs, which mediate protein production," Ray said. "So, in bacteria, the number of copies of a protein expressed by a gene can vary widely, say from 50 one hour to 100 the next. And this happens even when conditions outside the cell have not changed."
Igoshin and Ray knew that these random fluctuations were less of an issue for eukaryotic cells, which have larger volumes and more copies of messenger RNA and proteins. So they hypothesized that operons play a role in helping bacteria deal with these "noisy" conditions.
To test their idea, they developed a series of mathematical models of gene networks that could be run on a computer rather than on cell cultures, as well as statistical tests that could be performed using the information accumulated in bioinformatic databases.
Their mathematical models of gene networks covered six different types of protein-protein interactions. For each interaction type, they compared how operons affected noise in networks encoded by the member genes. For three of the six networks, operons worked to suppress noise. For the other three, they worked to increase noise. The findings from the simulations therefore suggested that operons could reduce the detrimental effects of noisy signals in some gene regulatory networks, but not others.
To further test the idea, Igoshin and Ray examined the operon organization of the E. coli genome. They found operons were frequent when the type of interaction that they encoded worked to suppress noise. When the encoded interaction did not suppress noise, operons were infrequent.
"Operons that emerged in the course of evolution in E. coli are consistent with selection for noise suppression and selection against noise amplification," Igoshin said.
The study also suggested why specific genes might be found in a specific operon.
"Certain genes perform much better when they're controlled as a unit, particularly if they produce co-ingredients that are required in proportional amounts," Ray said. "In the simulations, when these were split up and put onto separate operons, the inherent noise in the control signals would create a situation where the cell had way too much or too little of one co-product. In some cases, this is just inefficient, but in others the buildups could be toxic."
Ray and Igoshin said the study has implications for synthetic biologists who are trying to imbue cells with new biological functions not found in nature.
"For example, if you need to take multiple enzymes from different species and put them into a bacterium -- something that was done recently to produce a low-cost anti-malaria drug -- it might be easier to take them separately and put them into different parts of the chromosome," Igoshin said. "What this new finding shows is that there may be a cost for that in terms of overall fitness of the organism. Nature sometimes groups things together, particularly in cases where one of the enzymes makes or consumes toxic intermediates, and synthetic biologists would do well to pay attention to these types of interactions as they prepare their designs."

The five, who are all 40 or younger and entered Parliament at the last election, are publishing a new book in which they say that "lazy" Brits prefer a lie-in to hard work. Due to be published on the eve of the Conservative Party election, the book, called Britannia Unchained ? Global Growth and Prosperity, also criticises the "baby boomer" generation for seeking to raise taxes for young workers to pay for their lavish pension pots.

What "lavish" pension pot. The mean the state pension, one of the lowest in Europe? FFS, workers in Malaysia work the same hours as us, and have about twice as many bank holidays. Oh, wait a minute, they must be talking about themselves. Have any of them done productive work in their short, pampered little lives?

Bit of spin there.
You make two points. One: Lazy brits to blame. Two: taxes on workers paying for over-generous pensions.
The headline conflates the two to present a misleading conclusion which is not at all implied by the two points.
FWIW, both the points are misplaced. It's not so much lazy Brits themselves as the system that pushes them to laziness that's to blame. And the lavish pensions are rapidly converging with the basic state pension at age 67 or 68 for all but a lucky few.
[edit: add pension age]

Here's an Idea I've been playing with and I am going to be shoot on here for saying it.
Imagine tomorrow everybody?s tax went up by ?100 a month.
My view is that all rents would have to come down by the same amount and house prices would have to fall because people haven't got the money any more.
The plebs having less money would hit the rich harder than the plebs.
Again if tax was cut by ?100 rents would go up and so would houses and swallow all the gains.

I can second that, except I don't smoke so put in far more time relative to my smoking colleagues. I also see a lot of foreign workers work long, long hours but their productivity is very low. Seems to be an attitude that as long as you are seen to be working long hours then your productivity can not be questioned.

2007 Britons work the longest hours in Europe, clocking up unpaid overtime worth billions of pounds, according to a study published today.
Britain's long-hours culture is frequently a cause of stress, says the TUC report The TUC report said workers put in ?23bn of unpaid overtime last year, losing out on an average of ?4,800 each. The union organisation said people working for nothing were doing an average of seven hours and six minutes extra work every week. It calculated that if employees did all their unpaid work at the start of the year, the first day they would be paid would be February 23.

Walk down any high street during the day and see plenty of loafers wandering aimlessly around or buying crap. You just know they're all on benefits, hell most of the population are on benefits of some form. Single mums are the most prevalent, lazy scrotes spit out a couple of useless little turds and expect to get paid for the next 20 years. The wrong people are being encouraged to breed and that's why this country will continue to go down the toilet.

There are also a lot of people sitting on chairs, whinging in internet forums about other "idle" people!
Go and create some jobs for them then. Not exactly hearing factory owners crying out for workers, struggling to fill jobs.
Round these parts if you are unskilled/semi skilled its all part time, zero contract working tax credit stuff. No proper jobs at all.
I'm wondering how many more hand car wash places, this town can take!
If you are going to outsource all the work to China, and import cheaper labour, don't moan when there are loads of idle scroats around. They can't all be budding entrepreneurs like you!

That's only possible when the system and inflated cost of living doesn't price them out of work. It might be possible to create jobs that would pay them ?4 an hour for example but they wouldn't accept it even if they could.

It's been a pretty good week for Lenovo all things told, but the Chinese firms isn't stopping to congratulate itself too much. Today, it's business as usual, marked by the official arrival of the new K860 "Music Phone" aka LePhone. The quad-core 1.4GHz Exynos 4412 chip, Mali-400MP GPU, 5-inch (1,280 x 720) display, 1GB of RAM and slight 9.6mm-thick form should come together to sing a sweet song though. The 8-megapixel snapper is no slouch either, with support for 100 frames continuous shooting and 1080p video recording (plus there's a 2-megapixel camera around the front, too). If all this sounds like a recipe for battery-drain, there's a 2,250 mAh cell to help keep you going. This will all be running on Android 4.0.4, but currently no word on price or availability -- but it's not like there aren't any other large phones to think about in the meantime.
Update: We got a little excited in the translation for a moment there. The "Music" (or Happiness -- both pronounce "le") Phone is of course the LePhone we link to in the article.
Lufthansa Airlines is one of the largest airlines in the world, with a long history if serving passengers in Europe and North America to destination around the world. If you are planning a trip to Europe this fall, consider Lufthansa Canada. They fly from nineteen cities in Canada, connecting to many destinations in Europe and around the world. Most flights from Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver are direct, making a relaxing flight for the long-haul. Lufthansa has a reputation for reliability and passenger comfort, so you can be sure that you will arrive safely and refreshed. Being the largest carrier serving Frankfurt Airport, Lufthansa offers the best connections to other destinations.
Frankfurt is a main hub for travel in Europe. It would be a good place to start your adventure. Frankfurt is located in the southwest part of Germany, and is the fifth largest city in Germany. It is a centre for European banking and finance, as well as many commercial establishments. It is a contrast of new skyscrapers and buildings from the 14th and 15th centuries. With a population over two million in the metropolitan area, Frankfurt attracts residents from all corners of the globe. It is a vital and exciting city to visit and explore. The old section of the city contains a cathedral from the 12th century, a town hall that dates to the 15th century. Many of these buildings were destroyed or damaged during World War II, but have been rebuilt and restored. There are Roman ruins from the time when the city was part of the Holy Roman Empire. There are many outdoor cafes around the town square, where one can sip a stein and watch all the activity as people go about their daily business.
The city is full of museums, presenting old masters, modern art, museum of film, nature museum, archeological museum, Jewish museum, museums of the history of the city and museum of money. Days could be spent wandering these. There are also events that occur regularly. One popular event is the Museum Suferfest, which takes place during August, and includes art, culture, music and food celebrating Frankfurt and its unique contributions to the world. If you can plan your trip to be there in August, you won't want to miss this popular festival.
One way to get to Europe is last minute deals available on online discount travel websites. These deals can be a fantastic way to see the world without breaking the budget. If your time is flexible, sign up for e-newsletters from online discount travel sites to keep informed of what deals are on the horizon. By traveling last-minute, you won't have many choices about the schedule, but you will book a fare at a substantial discount. Travel sites often buy these tickets at a deep discount and pass on the savings to their customers. The airlines would rather sell the seat than fly empty, so everyone wins, and you have the chance to go places you might not otherwise.
Lisa Stienway is a regular blogger at Flightnetwork.com. Flightnetwork.com offers cheap ticket rates on last minute deals for various airlines including Lufthansa Canada.
Governments have fewer employees in 34 states and the District of Columbia since June 2011.
Big government has gotten a bit smaller during the past year.
Total employment by all federal, state and local governments dropped by 162,800 jobs between the midpoints of 2011 and 2012, according to the latest figures from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That equals a decline of 0.7 percent.
The downward trend was widespread, with 34 states and the District of Columbia paring their government workforces during the year.
Texas and Montana registered the biggest declines. Texas cut 51,100 government jobs between June 2011 and the same month this year, the nation's largest drop in raw numbers. Montana's reduction of 4.2 percent was the biggest in that category.
The database below has the latest government employment numbers for the 50 states and D.C. The seasonally adjusted totals encompass all workers at the federal, state and local levels. The list can be re-sorted by clicking any column header.
The latest figures represent at least a temporary reversal of a longterm increase in government employment. A recent On Numbers report noted that the number of federal, state and local government jobs had grown by 2.8 percent during the past decade.
Government workforces continued to expand in 15 states between mid-2011 and mid-2012, led by rises of 13,000 in North Carolina and 10,800 in Tennessee.
The biggest percentage jump was 5.6 percent in West Virginia.
