If You Are A Diabetic Try This Diet

  2. If you are diabetic or pre-diabetic, you need help sorting your nutritional needs. So individualized counseling is important. Individualized counseling has reduced the Hba1c level (blood sugar measured over 3 months) by 2%!
  3. Mediterranean diets for adults with Type 2 diabetes works well, and compared to those on other diets studied, most diabetics did the best with this diet.
  4. Low Carbohydrate diets. This is defined by getting less than 45% of your calories from carbs. First of all, these can be very hard on the kidneys, and diabetics may have kidney problems. While some diabetics can do well on these, and some can even lose weight quickly on these it is suggested you be monitored. Both the Hba1c and the blood fat triglyceride decreased on this. Those who also cut calories will lose weight.
  5. Paleolithic diets do better than old fashioned diabetic diets, and nearly all measures of diabetes lab tests got better.
  6. Glycemic index diets involve eating foods that are known to have a low glycemic index. (skip potatoes, wheat flour, most breakfast cereals and rice). Most diabetics can control their sugar levels while eating this way verses their traditional diet, however, most diabetics do not lose weight on this type of a diet.
  7. Vegan diets, like the glycemic index diets help diabetics control their sugars and blood lipids like cholesterol, but diabetics do not lose weight just by switching to vegan.
The studies that looked into these diets, generally are comparing the effects of the diet alone, and did not try to look at strategies such as lifestyle changes or CoolSculpting.

Post-Endometrial Ablation Syndrome

By
If you have had an endometrial ablation and have developed symptoms of pelvic pain you might have post endometrial ablation syndrome. What is post-endometrial ablation syndrome? It is a constellation of symptoms due to entrapped blood or tissue within a uterus that has previously undergone an endometrial ablation. We are able to diagnose this at Women's Health Practic e but occasionally other conditions are causing similar symptoms. Other complications of endometrial ablation include pregnancy, risks from pre-existing conditions such as a polyp or fibroid, an infection of the uterus, or a pregnancy. If you have had a tubal ligation then it is possible that the condition could be post-ablation tubal sterilization syndrome. The ablation procedure is designed to destroy all lining tissue, but in fact there is no way to confirm the completeness of the ablation. It is thought that either residual or regrowth of the tissue is producing the symptoms of post-endometrial ablation syndrom...

Passing Your Uterine Lining, Menstrual Period Norms

By
Decidual Cast Periods can be fairly easy, passing some tissue at a time, or off can come the whole lining in one piece called a decidual cast. Generally the lining of the uterus is only 6-8 mm thick at the time of the menstrual period, and it is shed gradually, a few cells at a time. The decidual cast is when the entire lining passes spontaneously.  It's not uncommon, but it usually both uncomfortable, and alarming to some. But us women are designed to have some sort of periods  Or Not? We have to pass tissue each month. Or Not? Are they good for us? Or Not? Do we want them? Or Not? Is this something that is individual? Or Not? It's a complex topic that I will be discussing a lot over my time in this blog. So lets start with basics: How much do we bleed and what are we loosing, and just what was this that the patient passed? And another basic: track your periods, and the Women's Health Practice site http://www.womenshealthpractice.com/media/pdf/menstrual_chart.pdf you...

You Have an IUD: But a Positive Pregnancy Test

By
Fortunately IUD pregnancy failures are rare. But if you have an IUD for contraception, and you get a positive pregnancy test, you probably ask yourself, what next? Well, make your gyno appointment promptly, this is a condition that is not typically an emergency, but it can be and it’s not handled over the phone or on a blog, or through self diagnosis! That being said, some researchers from University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas decided to look back at over 4100 women who had IUDs and of those 42 cases who became pregnant in their institution, over about a year period of time, to help understand what these women could expect when they got to their gyno and what actually happened to their pregnancies. Accurate pregnancy diagnosis, pelvic examination, and pelvic ultrasound were the cornerstones of the evaluations. They had very specific ways they looked at their ultrasound to prove there was no pregnancy in the fallopian tube, or partially in the fallopian tube...
