Michael Hutch Quick Facts

Main Areas: Type 2 Diabetes

I am a Type 3 diabetic (I have family and friends with Type I and Type II diabetes which I have helped for about 25 years).

I studied for a PhD in Medicine from an Australian University in the 1980s and have also taught medical students about medicines and drugs.

I have been involved in medical research for a number of years at Universities.

I have also worked in the Pharmaceutical drug industry for over a decade as well as for several years in the Government's Drug safety programme.

I live in Melbou e, Australia.

My Diabetes-YourBloodSugar websites made their debut on the web in early December 2009 ! The Diabetes: YourBloodSugar sites are about Type 2 diabetes and provide useful information about Diet, Lifestyle, Exercise, Diabetes Education, Health Checkups and Monitoring Blood Sugars!

I wanted to put up a site on the web with the 'min and max' amount of information required for truly understanding Type 2 Diabetes (but short of going into medications, which is usually overseen by your Healthcare Team and/or an Endocrinologist). I felt a comprehensive 'all-inclusive' site was lacking, which both 'asked and answered' ALLLL.... the pertitent questions about Type 2 diabetes management.

Please, there are some brilliant sites out there....www.mendosa.com; Blood Sugar 101 site (www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/); American Diabetes Association http://www.diabetes.org/). My attempt was just to satisfy some of you voracious readers who want to take it all in from one site. Sometimes one needs to really search far and wide for some simple answers to some basic issues. Hope to see all around on the Web 2.0 in the future!

You just got a diagnosis of Type two diabetes. Now, what do you do? Your first reaction may be shock and disbelief.

Type 2 Diabetes - Lower My Cholesterol. Who Says So

One of the many things you learn when you get a Type two diabetes diagnosis is that heart disease comes along with it. Those with diabetes have a significantly higher risk of developing heart disease. This can then lead to heart attack or stroke and could be deadly. That is why it is vital to maintain cholesterol levels in the healthy limits. It is a scientifically accepted fact that when the cholesterol of a individual with Type II Diabetes gets out of control, their likelihood of having cardiovascular health problems will be out of control as well.

Diabetes Type 2 - Making Dietary Changes. Where Do I Start

There is no special diabetes diet that you must go on if you have type 2 diabetes. There is no one standing at the grocery cash register monitoring what foods you purchase. No one will stop you from ordering your favorite foods in a restaurant. However, you must make some changes if you hope to keep your diabetes under control. The changes involve making some strategic shifts in what you eat, when you eat, and how much you eat.

Diabetes 2 - Mediterranean Diet Is Great. Why Say That

Research shows that adopting a diet in line with Mediterranean eating habits can help manage type 2 diabetes without taking drugs. What exactly do they mean by referring to a Mediterranean diet? This diet comes from the cultures that ring the Mediterranean Sea including Italian, Greek, and others. It contains a diet rich in vegetables and whole grains. Surprisingly it also contains 30% of calories coming from fat sources. The most source of fat though is olive oil. The diet also replaces most of the red meat consumption with fish and chicken.

Exercise IS OK Before And After Meals In Type II Diabetes- I Did Not Know That

Those with type 2 diabetes can exercise just about any time of the day. The best way to learn when you can exercise is to experiment and monitor the results. Some find exercising in the morning is better than the evening. Some find the opposite to be true. Many choose to exercise in short intervals throughout the day. Exercise before and after a meal is possible. All depends on what you eat and how your blood glucose levels react. If your blood sugar levels are below the 250 milligrams per deciliter level (14 mmol/L), it is usually safe to exercise.

You are the first line of defense when it comes to managing your Type 2 Diabetes.

This information is vital to determining if a glucose spike or plummet happens. It also gives vital information on what foods and exercisesaffect those same levels.
