Food is our main source of energy. It provides us with the strength and energy to go about our daily lives. But as much as this may sound like a happy cycle in our lives, it often gets broken and send us searching for cures and remedies. When wise and conscientious food choices are ignored, it becomes difficult for this happy cycle to maintain a good momentum. This becomes especially so when one suffers from health disorders like diabetes.

Recognizing this importance food choices, it is imperative that we think ahead of our meals and plan when, what, how much, and where to eat. Admittedly, this sounds like one of those impossible and impractical things to do, nice to know but it never gets past the first try. It might actually be. After all, shouldn’t eating be a spontaneous affair, and isn’t this what makes eating so much more fun?

You are strolling down the street on a sunny afternoon and suddenly the smell of freshly baked buns entices your entire sense of smell and you willingly give in to the temptation of taste and you consume, never mind that you just came out of a restaurant, 12 steps ways, after lunch. That’s being spontaneous, that’s the beauty of life. Nothing wrong with that. It is a very sexy too.

As long as good health permits, being spontaneous is fine. But when being spontaneous is akin to poisoning yourself then you might want to consider a lazy cousin of meal planning.

This lazy cousin opts to maintain a food consumption diary. Yes. Your guess is deliciously right. It is a ‘eat now, worry later’ policy. And especially enticing for those suffering from Type 2 diabetes. You have been leading a medically care free life, eating almost anything you desire and in any quantity. But upon being Type 2 diabetes positive, you have to change your ways and watch what you eat. It doesn’t sound difficult at first, but given time you will soon realise that it is quite easy to follow as well.

There are 3 main components to look out for. They are the food intake especially the time, your medications and blood-sugar levels and your physical activities.

What you eat, the quantity, including how it was prepared and the timing of the meals will provide valuable information for blood sugar levels. Your medications will provide a indication of the your average blood sugar levels. Records of your physical activities will provide valuable information on how medication and food interacts with your exercises. Thus, this will allow you to better regulate your meal habits and avoid those harmful sessions before it kills you. It ain’t much but it will surely not allow you to stray too far from salvation.

Plasma angiotensin II is closely associated with body weight and markers of insulin resistance in obese people with Type 2 diabetes, a Japanese study shows.

Many angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors have demonstrated metabolic benefits in addition to regulating blood pressure, including a reduction in new onset Type 2 diabetes. To investigate the role of angiotensin II in obesity and insulin resistance, Yoh Miyashita (Toho University Sakura Medical Center, Sakura-City, Chiba, Japan) and co-workers examined circulating angiotensin II levels in 50 obese patients with Type 2 diabetes on a low-calorie weight reduction diet.

The researchers prescribed the participants a diet with a daily caloric intake of 20 kcal/kg for 24 weeks, and measured their levels of plasma angiotensin II and the adipocyte-derived factors leptin, adiponectin, and lipoprotein lipase mass in preheparin serum, a marker of insulin sensitivity.

“In this study, plasma angiotensin II was associated with body weight and decreased after the subjects had been on a 24-week weight reduction diet,” report the authors in the journal Metabolism Clinical and Experimental.

Specifically, participants’ mean body weight and visceral fat area decreased significantly by 2.3% and 7.0%, respectively, accompanied by a significant 24% reduction in angiotensin II levels.

Plasma angiotensin II significantly correlated with body weight both at baseline and at 24 weeks, and the decrease in plasma angiotensin II correlated significantly with the changes in body weight and visceral fat area.

The change in angiotensin II also correlated positively with change in leptin and tended to correlate negatively with change in lipoprotein lipase mass in preheparin serum. Low lipoprotein lipase mass reflects an increase in fat accumulation and insulin resistance.

The mean weight reduction was relatively low compared with other studies following a similar weight-reduction diet. The authors suggest that this may have been a reason why there was no correlation with adiponectin, a marker of insulin sensitivity, implying that plasma angiotensin II is a very sensitive marker during weight loss.

“The close relationship between plasma angiotensin II and the adipocyte-derived factors lipoprotein lipase mass and leptin suggests that circulating angiotensin II is associated with adipocyte metabolism,” the authors comment.
