It is scientifically proven that controlling your carbs is an effective strategy that an increasing number of people with diabetes are using to keep their blood sugar levels stable. There's no question it works. Cutting carb intake down to under 60 grams a day can radically decrease blood sugar levels of almost everyone. Controlling blood sugar is not just an issue for persons who suffer from diabetes or hypoglycemia it is a great plan for anybody looking to avoid the hazards that high blood sugar levels can create as you age.

Some of the effects high blood sugar can have are nerve damage in the legs. Which may start as tingling and pain and can lead to much worse. High blood sugar levels also destroy vision, which is why people with long standing diabetes often go blind. High blood sugar is toxic to the filtration units in the kidneys.

There's mounting evidence that high levels of blood sugar or glucose are toxic to the beta cells of the pancreas which make the insulin the body uses to bring the high blood sugar levels back down thus creating a loop that can drive blood sugar higher while your body is less able to bring it down. Food for thought when you staring down a big plate of pasta and tall glass of Coke.

Part of the blood sugar equation is water especially when consuming more protein. Drinking copious amounts of water flushes fats out of you system as well as increasing you metabolism. What I suggest is adding the juice of half a lemon to 32 ounces of water with a sprinkle of Steviva Brand Stevia Powder. Aside from being less than 2 carbs, you will get the health benefits that the stevia provides along with the vitamin C and electrolytes that lemon have. You can substitute limes for lemons if you get bored. Click here to order stevia powder.
