All About Type 2 Diabetes Diet | Health and Fitness

The perfect Type 2 diabetes diet should thoroughly cover meal planning, exercising, weigh loss and blood sugar level management. There is no cure for Type 2 diabetes, but patients can be spared from its symptoms that include diabetic neuropathy like diabetic amyotrophy by a healthy lifestyle and effective management of the glucose in the blood. Diabetes is the disease concerning the inability of the body to produce insulin or to produce enough insulin that is necessary in the absorption of glucose. This can be determined by a glucose tolerance test.

Maintaining the ideal weight is important factor in every Type 2 diabetes diet. This will facilitate the management of the sugar level in the blood since fat lipids are at a minimum. Obesity is considered to be a major factor in developing diabetes. Consistent exercise and low calorie foods are instrumental in losing weight. Regularly engaging in moderately strenuous activities like jogging and cycling is advised to those who need to lose weight. However, your doctors? permission should still be secured as sweating and fat burning also have effects in the blood sugar level.

A large chunk of energy source should be coming from carbohydrates and not from proteins and fats. The glucose generated from carbohydrates is slowly absorbed and provides steady supply of energy. There are good and then there are bad carbohydrates. Sugars like glucose, lactose, sucrose and fructose are examples of bad carbohydrates found in refined sugar and in sweet fruits. The good complex carbs are found in vegetables, beans, nuts and wholes grains. Eating the right amount of carbohydrates is essential to a Type 2 diabetic diet. Eating too little or too much will greatly affect the level of the blood sugar.

These are some low calorie foods that are also good for a Type 2 diabetes diet:

1. Oats and grains ? Whole grains have high soluble fiber content that is essential in maintaining blood sugar. You can always make your breakfast healthier and yummier by adding your favourite nuts and fruits.

2. Bean and legumes ? These demi-vegetables are high in proteins and good carbs without the fat, making them the ideal meat substitute. Beans can se served in chillies, salads and other dishes.

3. Fish ? Fish have the right kind of fat needed by the body, most especially the heart. Omega3 is primarily found in fatty fishes like tuna, mackerel, sardines, salmon, cod, herring and trout.

4. Nuts ? Nuts are natural source of monounsaturated fat or the healthy fat and magnesium which is also a preventive mineral for diabetes.

5. Vegetables ? Dieters of the Type 2 diabetes diet have no restrictions on the amount of vegetables they eat. This is because vegetables like broccoli, spinach, mushrooms, peppers and lettuce don?t have much effect in the blood sugar levels.

6. Yogurt ? Non-fat diary substitutes like non-fat yogurt and milk are good additions to any healthy diet.

Besides eating the right food, eating on time and eating the right amount is part of an effective Type 2 diabetes diet. Since the absence of the insulin makes the body unable to regulate the sugar levels, you will be the one to determine the amount of glucose that your insulin is capable of handling at a certain point. This way, symptoms are effectively kept under control.

Afghanistan's Karzai slams United States over massacre

KABUL (Reuters) - Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Friday lashed out at the United States for failing to fully cooperate with an investigation into the massacre of 16 Afghan villagers by a U.S. staff sergeant and questioned whether only one soldier could have been involved.

A series of blunders by the United States, including the killings in Kandahar province on Sunday and the inadvertent burning of copies of the Koran at a NATO base last month, has further strained already tense relations between the countries.

"This has been going on for too long. You have heard me before. It is by all means the end of the rope here," Karzai told reporters at the heavily fortified presidential palace.

Flanked by senior officials, a tired and sometimes angry Karzai listened to village elders and the families of victims of the massacre, and dressed somberly in black for the start of an expected two days of talks to discuss the killings.

Some at the meeting shouted, some demanded answers, but all said they wanted any soldiers involved punished.

"I don't want any compensation. I don't want money, I don't want a trip to Mecca, I don't want a house. I want nothing. But what I absolutely want is the punishment of the Americans. This is my demand, my demand, my demand and my demand," said one villager, whose brother was killed in the nighttime slaughter.

Furious Afghans and lawmakers have demanded that the soldier responsible be tried in Afghanistan, but despite those calls, the U.S. staff sergeant was flown out on Wednesday.

"The army chief has just reported that the Afghan investigation team did not receive the cooperation that they expected from the United States. Therefore these are all questions that we'll be raising, and raising very loudly, and raising very clearly," Karzai said.

Karzai appeared to back the belief of the villagers, and many other Afghans including the country's parliament, that one gunman acting alone could not have killed so many people, and in different locations some distance apart.

"They believe it's not possible for one person to do that. In (one) family, in four rooms people were killed, women and children were killed, and they were all brought together in one room and then put on fire. That one man cannot do," Karzai said.

TWIN INVESTIGATIONS

With twin investigations still underway by both U.S. and Afghan officials, any discovery of more than one soldier involved in the massacre would be a disaster for NATO, with Western leaders needing to win over Afghans ahead of a withdrawal by most foreign combat troops in 2014.

Civilian casualties caused by NATO forces hunting insurgents are a major source of friction between the Afghan government and its Western backers, and have damaged efforts to win the "hearts and minds" of locals in the decade-old war.

"Our families are finished and our houses are destroyed," said a furious Hajji Abdul Samad Aka, who lost 11 members of his family in the killings in two villages of Panjwayi district.

An unnamed U.S. official told The New York Times the attack by the accused soldier was a result of "a combination of stress, alcohol and domestic issues - he just snapped."

The lawyer for the soldier said the staff sergeant was upset at having to do a fourth tour of duty in a war zone and was likely suffering from stress after seeing colleagues wounded.

Anger over the massacre spilled into weekly Friday prayers at a major mosques in central Kabul with one cleric calling the shooting "unforgivable" and questioning how a soldier with alleged mental problems could be in the U.S. military.

"Revenge for the blood of these victims will be taken either today, tomorrow, in 10 years or the next 100 years," said Mullah Ayaz Niazi at Wazir Akhbar Khan mosque in Kabul's diplomatic enclave, which is also home to NATO headquarters.

The soldier accused of the shooting was attached to a small special forces compound similar to others around the country which underpin NATO's anti-insurgent strategy.

On Thursday, Karzai called for NATO troops to leave Afghan villages and confine themselves to major bases, underscoring fury over the massacre and clouding U.S. exit plans.

He also demanded the handover of security to Afghan police and soldiers by 2013, a year ahead of schedule.

Such a move could undercut U.S. President Barack Obama's strategy for Afghanistan and hamper efforts to mentor Afghan police and help with local governance.

In a further blow to NATO hopes of a negotiated end to the decade-old war, the Afghan Taliban said they were suspending nascent peace talks with the United States, following the massacre and ahead of the traditional summer fighting months.

The United States said it was committed to political reconciliation involving talks with the Taliban but progress would require agreement between Kabul and the insurgents.

"The Taliban leadership were and may still be serious about talks, but instead of discussing how to end the war, they will now be persuading the rank and file to go out again this year and fight," Kate Clark of the Afghanistan Analysts Network said.

"That another round of fighting and killing is now on the agenda is a difficult prospect to face," she wrote in a blog.

Mining firm Zimplats gives majority shares to Zimbabweans

The Zimbabwean government and mining firm Zimplats reached Tuesday an agreement to transfer a 51 percent stake to local investors, as required by the country's controversial "indigenisation" policy.

Zimplats, the division of the world's second-largest platinum producer, Impala Platinum, gave 10 percent ownership to its workers, another 10 percent to a community trust in Ngezi where its mine is located, and 31 percent to the national Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment Fund.

"We have found each other during this meeting and I think it augurs very well for the mining industry in Zimbabwe," said Implats chief executive, David Brown, during a meeting with Zimbabwean officials in Harare.

The Zimbabwean government last week threatened to nationalise Zimplats for non-compliance with the regulations and gave the company until Tuesday to hand in an acceptable plan.

Brown said the deal would "create a more stable investment environment".

Indigenisation Minister Saviour Kasukuwere hailed the agreement as a milestone, saying he hoped the message would be understood by other mining companies.

"Mining is a very important industry, we value the contributions made by Impala for the growth of our national economy but it's also imperative that our people do benefit to the full extent from these resources," said Kasukuwere.

"It is a historic moment for us as a country and I am sure we have set the stage for other countries also to bring about certainty in their different areas of jurisdiction," he added.

President Robert Mugabe's partner in the unity government, Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, has warned that the law passed two years ago would discourage investment.

Foreign-owned companies like banks and retailers are also targeted by the law.

Using Graph Theory To Predict NCAA Tournament Outcomes

Some problems I see. Disclaimer: I know there's a margin of error here as the author said, and I know my observations will be based largely on anecdotal evidence, making it inferior. But if sports were so easy to predict there would be no sports gambling.

- That's probably too far for Belmont; a #14 has only ever gotten as far as the Sweet 16, twice (Cleveland State '86, Chattanooga '97). Lowest seed to make an Elite 8 is Missouri in 2002 as a #12 . Belmont is actually going to be one of the more popular upset picks, but they would have to upset two far superior teams twice in 3 days.

- It's a bit too "chalk". #1 seeds generally survive the first two games (undefeated against #16's, 55-14 v. #8's, 59-6 v. #9's), but the #2's have it worse (only four losses v. #15's, but 58-21 v. #7's and 29-21 v. #10's). I know two #12's, a #13 and a #14 doesn't seem like "chalk" but historically it's much more likely that we'll see more #5-7 or #10-11's. To have only one #2 not make the Elite 8 and all the #1's would be almost unheard of.

- A #12 always beats a #5, but three of them doing so in one year would seem unlikely, as they're only 39-89 overall.

- Some of the other first round matchups seem a bit improbably. It has every #6 and every #7 winning, for example.
