[QUOTE="CherryAA, post: 1565154, member: 327005"] [URL]https://www.diabetes.org.uk/get_involved/corporate/acknowledgements[/URL] In reverse order a veritable roll CALL OF VESTED INTERESTS Tesco is the main one Tefal - specialising in " low fat fryers" Novo Nordisk - insulin manufacturers Lilly Diabetes - insulin access Champneys - offering retreats including Daphne courses Bupa - offering healthy balanced diet advice plus reading the traffic lights whilst ignoring the carbs but encouraging sign up to BUPA BUPA services - offering all manner of advice to professionals including the following gems People should be advised to: [LIST=1] [*]Eat regular meals [*]Include some carbohydrate foods in their diet [*]Eat less saturated fats, especially from processed meat and foods [*]Aim for at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day [*]Eat more beans, pulses and lentils [*]Eat at least two portions of oily fish a week [*]Eat less sugar and sugary foods [*]Reduce salt in their diet to 6g or less a day [*]Watch their overall portion sizes, especially when trying to lose weight [*]Avoid ‘diabetic’ foods and drinks. GREAT QUOTES FROM THE PROFESSIONAL ACCESS [/LIST] "Blood glucose self-monitoring should be offered to people on insulin treatment and those on medications that carry a risk of hypoglycaemia." "As Type 2 diabetes is a progressive condition, treatment may change over time. There is likely to be a point when lifestyle changes are not enough to control blood glucose levels and medication may need to be considered." and finally Betavivo " Betavivo is a crispy oat heart-shaped cereal with a high concentration of beta-glucan (3g per serving). One portion of Betavivo contains three times the amount of bioactive beta-glucan than a standard bowl of porridge. Beta-glucan is a fibre that forms a gel in the gastrointestinal tract and acts as a protective barrier, which slows down the absorption of carbohydrates. Betavivo has been scientifically proven to help contribute to the reduction of blood glucose rise after eating and have been shown to reduce blood cholesterol levels by an average of 10 per cent over 12 weeks." [SIZE=3][B]Ingredients[/B][/SIZE] 60% Oat bran (contains gluten), oatmeal, fructose A daily portion of Betavivo crispy oat heart cereal is scientifically proven to lower cholesterol. The unique process and patented formula of Betavivo gives a high concentration of cholesterol-lowering beta-glucan. In order to have the same effect on cholesterol, you would have to eat at least three big bowls of porridge. The beta-glucan in Betavivo also contributes to reducing the rise in blood sugar after the meal. OVERALL I am sure that its sponsors really pave the way to great advice for diabetics. FRANKLY I WOULDN'T TOUCH IT WITH A BARGE POLE FOR OBVIOUS REASONS. [/QUOTE]
