This Web page brings together in one place descriptions of and links to only those general Web pages dealing with diabetes, but is linked to the 15 other On-line Diabetes Resources pages dealing with other Web pages,other parts of the Internet, and other on-line services. Those links that I think are especially valuable are marked in red.
The Glycemic Index |
|
The Glycemic Index is a
ranking of high-carbohydrate foods based on their immediate effect on blood glucose.
It measures how much your blood glucose increases over a period of two or three hours
after a meal. The most complete listing is in a new book by Professor Jennie Brand-Miller,
The G.I. Factor, which was published in Australia and subsequently in the U.K. and in the U.S. as The Glucose Revolution. With her authorization, I have condensed this
information into listings for about 300 foods. This includes all of the different foods for
which glycemic indexes have been published and listed in The G.I. Factor.
Note, however, that the glycemic index may be a difficult diet concept to follow. Officially the American Diabetes Association has
questioned its clinical utility and recommends that priority should be given to the
amount rather than the source of carbohydrate. The URL is
Professor Brand-Miller now (in November 2000) has her own glycemic index Web site with authoritative and extensive information about it. The URL is |

http://www.isletsofhope.com/ - Joshua Levy has put together a list of all human trials of possible cures for type 1 diabetes that he knows of. They have to meet these four criteria:
- It is a cure for type 1 diabetes, not a treatment for a symptom. (A cure requires blood sugar control without testing and with doctor's visits 4 times a year or less. Obviously, this is Joshua's personal definition of a cure; yours may differ. Any cure must result in an average lifespan close to normal.)
- It is either in human trials now, or has been in the past, or is expected to be within the next two years.
- Does not require a lifetime of immunsuppressive drugs, so it is not trading one treatment for another (but a couple of repeated operations, or a short course of drugs is OK).
- It is not specific to the “honeymoon” phase of the disease.

http://www.diabetes.com/ - DiabeticOptiCarbDiet (DOCD) is probably the first complete lifestyle change package able to reliably delay type 2 diabetes complications and blood glucose (BG) control medication over the medium-term (10-plus years, and still counting) by diet and exercise alone, according to Roger Grant, who developed DOCD. "This complications delaying power is the most important aspect of any diabetic diet," he says. "DOCD's superiority comes mainly from its giving the maximum weight of any food, or food combination, that can be eaten by each individual diabetic without their BG rising to levels where artery damage causes complications. A new use of glycemic load gave this breakthrough. It fulfils previous researchers' promise of control by diet and exercise alone. Also others call for limiting postprandial BG level to reduce artery damage causing complications. DOCD follows ADA, Diabetes UK, etc., recommended carb, fats, etc., intakes, and is ordinary eating of anything healthy. Finger BG testing is much reduced, and the remaining testing made meaningful. DOCD is a rewrite, benefitting from 3 years of trialing the former OptimumCarbDiet and DietControlDiabetes, which is simpler for users (essentially DIY) and less time-consuming for medical professionals." An interesting diagram compares DOCD, with other popular diets, on its site. The program lists for GB Pounds 24.00, which is about US$50 or Euros 35, depending on actual exchange rate. The URL is

years, Tim is a computer major...." Almost all of the information on the site was lifted from U.S. government sites. There is a link to a chat room, but it is not one created by the site.
