There’s a reason that an estimated 7.3 million Americans with diabetes remain undiagnosed: The condition often starts out with symptoms that are easy to brush off. “Because diabetes runs in my family, I’ve waged my own battle against this disease for years,” says women’s health and nutrition expert Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D., author of Radical Metabolism. “And it has a lot of sneaky symptoms that you wouldn’t expect—for example, frequent urination is one that a lot of people don’t realize can be connected to diabetes. Also, often times hypoglycemia—where the blood sugar seems to dip too low—can be an early warning sign for diabetes.” Read on for more symptoms that might warrant a visit to your doctor: SNEAKY SYMPTOM 1: URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS Excess sugar in the blood and urine…

Colleen Peebles walked down the hospital corridor, dreading having to tell her boss that the largest size scrubs didn’t fit her. As a result, her work in the operating room would have to be delayed until a specially ordered size 6x uniform arrived. Enough is enough, thought Colleen. I’m not just hurting myself, I’m hurting my whole team. Colleen had struggled with her weight since she was a child, but this time, it wasn’t just about the weight. Her health was at risk: Her doctor had warned her many times that the extra pounds she was carrying put her at risk of prediabetes. So Colleen set out to reclaim control of her life with the help of two fellow nurses. She took cooking classes and got inspiration from ShapeFit.com. Colleen…

Turmeric has been a staple in Indian cooking for centuries, but researchers all over the world are finding that the seasoning boasts a rare multitasking ability: “Science is now proving that turmeric has every power attributed to it by ancient healers,” says Ayurvedic doctor Suhas Kshirsagar, author of The Hot Belly Diet. “It eases joint pain, improves diabetes, stimulates brain function, ends fatigue and so much more. And whether turmeric is in golden milk [a popular drink made by simmering coconut milk with chai spices and turmeric], added to food or even in a supplement, it delivers benefits quickly.” So just how does this powerful spice work? Thanks to modern-day factors like stress, pollution and highly processed food, most of us have an ongoing hidden inflammation inside our body. Turmeric…

J.D. WildFlower sighed as she read the numbers on her glucose meter. High again, the type 2 diabetic marveled. She’d been on a constant hunt to find an alternative to insulin therapy…but she had yet to discover anything that truly worked. She’d tried prescription metformin, but concerned about possible side effects from long-term use, her doctor had agreed to let her try natural alternatives, so J.D. had tried the low-sugar keto diet, acupuncture and four liver cleanses. But nothing had helped. Then she read an article about how supplementing with magnesium can lower blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity and metabolic control in type 2 diabetics. “It’s worth a try!” she decided, resolving to add daily magnesium to her diet. J.D. began taking 325 mg. of magnesium a day, which…

When it comes to recommending weight-loss strategies, the doctors at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, have long been known to play it straight—diet and exercise are the way to go, and there are no quick fixes. It’s this pragmatic approach to medicine that earned the facility the top spot on U.S. News & World Report’s list of best hospitals honor roll in 2020 and helped it attract the leading physicians and researchers in the country. And when those very same experts started championing a supplement called L-arginine, we were intrigued. Scientists didn’t set out to study the slimming potential of L-arginine—they discovered it by accident. Back in 2005, Guoyao Wu, Ph.D., of Texas A&M University, was investigating the amino acid’s impact on heart health in overweight rats when an…

“Sandy, you need to listen to me,” implored her grandmother. In response, Sandy raised her head, wiping the tears from her cheeks. Her grandmother reached out and grasped her hands tightly. “I have diabetes, and look at me. I’m 95 years old, and I’m still thriving. You can be too.” “During that conversation with my grandmother, something clicked,” recalls Sandy. “Initially, after my type 2 diabetes diagnosis, I was convinced that I was going to die young and that my life wasn’t worth living. But my grandma made me realize that I was wrong—and that I could still live the life I wanted to live. FEELING LOST “About eight years ago, my dad died from complications of diabetes. So before the doctor even told me I had the disease, I…

The moment Dione Housden’s doctor delivered the news that she had borderline diabetes, her first thought was of needles…the idea of getting daily insulin shots absolutely terrified her. But countless diet attempts had failed, so what choice did she have? “I halfheartedly mentioned exercise to my doctor, but I didn’t really think it was an option—I thought he’d tell me I was too heavy to exercise,” Dione recalls. “But instead he urged, ‘You need to start walking right away!’” So Dione took the advice, and she was amazed at the results—after just one month of walking she had lost an astonishing 40 pounds! While she walked, Dione counted her blessings and tuned in to nature. “When I was heavy, I didn’t think highly of myself and had a tendency to…

Mary Roberts braced herself as she tested her blood-glucose levels—she knew they might be high after eating her husband’s birthday cake the night before. But she wasn’t prepared for the number that flashed: “240!” she gasped. “I could have a stroke!” In addition to diabetes, Mary suffered from a metabolic condition, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, asthma and low immunity. She realized her eating habits were a problem, so when a friend suggested the website Ketovangelist.com, she decided to give keto a try. Mary started eating Cobb salads, avocados, olive oil, salmon, almonds, sunflower seeds, even dark chocolate, and dropped 13 pounds in 13 days. Enjoying healthy Mediterranean-style fats kept Mary calm and fueled as she lost a total of 105 pounds in 22 months. “It was so satisfying,” she…

Q I do my best to drink eight glasses of water a day, but lately it doesn’t seem like enough. I’m always thirsty—especially after I eat. I mentioned it to my sister, and she said this is a symptom of diabetes. Is she right? A Not exactly. It sounds like you may have high blood sugar. Unquenchable thirst is usually the first sign, and it may be accompanied by fatigue, dizziness and increased appetite. These symptoms are often a signal that cells aren’t responding to the blood sugar–regulating hormone insulin, which can lead to type 2 diabetes if left unchecked. For that reason, it’s important to see a health-care provider. When clients come to see us, we often recommend taking 400 mg. of mulberry leaf extract (like New Nordic Mulberry…

While food scientists span the globe in search of the next big superfood, findings at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, point to a diet darling decidedly closer to home: the beans, peas and lentils hiding in our pantry. Part of the legume family, these protein-rich carbs deliver powerful perks. In the study, researchers assigned one group of dieters to a low-calorie plan that included an average of ½ cup of legumes daily, and another group to a standard low-calorie diet. By the end of the six-week study, those who filled their plate with legumes had lost 275% more weight, plus showed significant improvements in key health markers compared with participants in the control group. “Legumes contain antioxidants and phytochemicals that make them an effective tool for weight loss,” affirms…

Andrea Adams-Britt was happily chatting at a party when the conversation took a sour turn. “When are you due?” the acquaintance asked, thinking Andrea was pregnant. “I tried to keep it together and not cry,” she recalls, “but her words stung. I was so overweight and I realized, enough is enough.” Andrea had struggled with health issues for years, including type 2 diabetes, back pain and acid reflux. “I was exhausted all the time, my hair was falling out and my memory was gone,” she recalls. The final straw came when Andrea noticed a rash on her face and lips. Her doctor ran a blood test, which was positive for candida overgrowth. And although she was given an Rx, it didn’t work. “I realized I had to take matters into…

Sitting down with a cup of joe as you read? If not, consider pouring yourself a mug—you’ll probably want to drink some after reading this: Coffee has been shown to slash the risk of type 2 diabetes by 54%, reduce levels of heart-harming triglycerides by 58% and cut heart disease risk by 50%—and now research suggests that it can help you flatten your belly too! The secret to coffee’s amazing powers? Chlorogenic acid—a polyphenol antioxidant found in high levels in coffee beans. A study published in the British Journal of Nutrition found that chlorogenic acid flips a switch that instructs the body’s cellular energy engines to increase fat burn—and the benefits kick in after just five days. “Chlorogenic acid is coffee’s secret weapon,” asserts Bob Arnot, M.D., former chief medical…

A nna Esterline yawned, struggling against an afternoon slump. She tried to talk herself out of a sugary snack, but she knew her fifth-graders needed her to be on her toes. Taking a bite of a mini candy bar, she sighed. I feel like I’m on a hamster wheel and I can’t get off! Burdened by unwanted weight, she says, “I always needed a nap and a triple espresso.” Anna’s doctor prescribed metformin for high blood sugar and to help with symptoms of PCOS and endometriosis, but Anna didn’t feel better. “My health was unraveling.” That’s when Anna agreed to be a guinea pig as her sister Sara Gottfried, M.D., developed her low-carb Younger program. Anna liked that it included berberine, a healthy, natural alternative to metformin. Anna started taking…

There was Jazzercise in the ’70s, step aerobics in the ’80s and Tae Bo in the ’90s… and we tried them all. But exercise fads come and go, and every few years, we discover the next big thing that promises to help us burn fat and lose weight. In recent years, though, a trend with some real staying power emerged: interval training (varying the intensity of a workout or a walk, switching from short, fast-paced bursts of activity to slow, measured periods of rest). Why are high-intensity bursts so effective? It’s in our biological nature, says osteopathic physician Joseph Tieri, D.O., author of Staying Young with Interval Training. “When you start a 40-minute jog, the body thinks you’re beginning a 1,000-mile trek to find food. When it isn’t sure where…

A mix of aerobic and strength training is key to fighting type 2 diabetes. “Aerobic exercise improves the action of insulin, and resistance training improves muscle mass, which increases glucose uptake,” says Ronald Sigal, M.D. To get the perks, try incorporating kickboxing or body-weight exercises twice a week. Here, two moves to get you started. Squat Hook Combo: This move builds glucose-burning muscle fibers. To do: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart. Hold clenched fists in front of your chest. Lower into a squat. As you come up, step forward and punch across your body with your left fist. Return to center. Repeat with right fist. That’s one rep. Do six reps. Plank: This move utilizes the rectus and transverse abdominis muscles to melt the belly fat that promotes high blood…

During his 27 years as a physician, Steve Parker, M.D., became a huge fan of the Mediterranean approach to eating, thanks to a mountain of evidence linking it to a longer life span and lowered risk of serious diseases like cancer and diabetes. But as often as he recommended the diet’s staples (fruit and vegetables, fish and poultry, legumes, grains, olive oil and wine), he continued to see his patients struggle with excess pounds and the health problems that often accompany those pounds. In search of a way to help, Dr. Parker delved into a decade’s worth of weight-loss studies. “It was in 2009 that I immersed myself in the research and saw just how clear the evidence was that it was better for weight loss to be on a…

THIN-CRUST BREAKFAST PIZZA: Heat oven to 425°F. To make each pizza: In large skillet over medium heat, cook 1 low-carb flatbread or tortilla turning once, until toasted, about 2 min.; remove from skillet. Place flatbread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle flatbread with ¼ cup halved cherry tomatoes, ¼ cup sliced red onion and 2 Tbs. crumbled feta cheese. Make an indent in the toppings and crack 1 egg into the indent. Bake until eggs are fully cooked, 10–12 min. Top with arugula; season to taste with salt and pepper. FETA VEGETABLE SCRAMBLE: In a large skillet over medium heat, saute 1 slice of Canadian bacon, diced; ¼ cup of chopped yellow onions and ¼ cup of diced tomatoes in 1 tsp. of olive oil. Add 2…

They’re marketed as a dieter’s best friend, but science reveals serious downsides to artificial sweeteners. While the low-calorie, low-carb sugar replacements don’t spike blood sugar, one study found that mice given water spiked with fake sugar developed glucose intolerance (which raises diabetes risk) and got fatter than mice given plain water. Another study found that frequently consuming artificial sweeteners increases inflammation, which can cause insulin resistance. The problem, experts say, is that fake sugars can cause damage to blood vessels, which are vital for controlling blood sugar. And that’s not all: “Chemical sweeteners damage healthy gut bacteria that are essential for proper metabolism,” says nutrition expert Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D. Her advice: Take a probiotic supplement (like Renew Life Ultimate Flora, $29 for 60 capsules, Vitacost.com) to restore gut health.…

REVS ENERGY: A QUICK STROLL Between drive time, desk time and downtime, we tend to do a lot of sitting throughout our days. But taking a 10-minute walk after dinner (at whatever pace you like) can reduce blood-sugar spikes by as much as 22%, according to researchers at the University of Otago in New Zealand. If you don’t have the time to go for a walk, you can enjoy the same healthy dip in blood sugar simply by swinging your arms while you sit at your desk, wait in trafic or participate in a Zoom call. Doing this for 5 minutes every half hour has been shown to lower blood sugar by as much as 58%. LIFTS MOOD: A SOOTHING SOAK Soaking in a hot bathtub, curling up on the…

Jayne Strelecki had been searching for the “Holy Grail” of diets since she was a child. Countless failed attempts later, she was 61 years old, prediabetic, weighing 285 pounds and taking more than 15 medications a day. She had all but given up—especially when she was denied health insurance because of her weight. Then a friend who was following the plant-based Engine 2 Seven-Day Rescue Diet invited Jayne to join a Facebook group devoted to the plan. Fast-forward 16 months: Jayne is 125 pounds lighter and down from a size 3X to a small. She’s reversed her prediabetes and fatty liver. She no longer needs medications for fibromyalgia, asthma, sinus infections, acid reflux, colitis, rosacea, arthritis, degenerative disc disease or sciatica. “And it all happened effortlessly,” says Jayne, who has…

Apple cider vinegar is having a moment: Used as a remedy since ancient times, it’s made by fermenting crushed apples with probiotics that turn the fruit’s sugar into acetic acid. Dozens of strains of beneficial bacteria remain in the vinegar and help the liquid work its magic. “But acetic acid is the real star,” notes nutritionist JJ Smith, author of the bestselling book 7-Day Apple Cider Vinegar Cleanse. Studies show the compound can do everything from lower cholesterol to disinfect burns and detox the liver. And if you’re after a smaller waistline, Japanese scientists found that daily doses of diluted vinegar—either taken before a meal or before bed—react with body chemistry in a way that reduces body fat overall and even targets stubborn belly fat, increasing total weight loss by…

As Michelle Lindenmuth tried to shimmy into her bridesmaid dress, she began to panic. “My sister was getting married, and my dress was too tight,” she recalls. “The boutique didn’t have enough material to alter it, so I had to wear a different style. My sister was understanding, but I was totally mortified.” Overweight since childhood, Michelle constantly struggled. “When my kids had school events, I would stand, worried I wouldn’t fit in the chairs,” she shares. “I didn’t want to embarrass them.” Facing high blood pressure, high cholesterol and pre diabetes, and taking medication for Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Michelle knew something had to change. So when her sister reported that she lost 10 pounds in one month on a keto diet, Michelle decided to give it a try. She started…

Preparing to tie her shoe, Bea Eder held her breath and reached for her laces. Fighting against the pressure of her belly on her chest and the pain shooting through her back, Bea thought to herself, Gosh, even simple activities are becoming difficult. Already taking medications for high blood pressure and prediabetes, Bea felt trapped wearing a size 24. “I never believed I could lose the weight, especially in my 60s,” she admits. Despite her skepticism, Bea started a diabetes prevention program that included walking and eating whole foods. To her delight, Bea enjoyed her morning walks. To keep things interesting, some days she’d stroll for two blocks, then speed-walk for four. Other days she tackled hilly routes. Through her walks, Bea became a celebrity in her community, as others…

Envision your body as a house and your immune system as a lion protecting it. Now imagine that a mouse sneaks in. Of course, the lion could polish off the small critter in seconds. That’s what happens when you catch a virus—your immune system clobbers it. But what happens when something the lion can’t see starts attacking? He’ll fling himself around trying to get it, then run through the house, creating destruction as he chases his tormenters. In the body, these invisible intruders are the by-products of industrialized societies: pollution, chemicals, stress, says Duke Johnson, M.D., author of The Optimal Health Revolution. “When a country industrializes, all chronic diseases rise at the same time: heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes,” he says. Dr. Johnson reasons that the by-products of industrialization…

ENJOY THE PREP Americans spend less time cooking than people in any other developed nation. We’re also among the heaviest. Coincidence? Maybe not: Research shows that subjects who prepare their own meals six times a week consume 137 fewer calories a day than those who cook once a week. SAVOR THE EXPERIENCE Americans spend an hour eating each day. Folks in the Mediterranean linger twice as long. Why that’s best: People who eat at a leisurely pace are 42% less likely to be obese. Try chewing each bite thoroughly and putting your fork down between bites. RAISE A GLASS Powerful antioxidants in red wine, a Mediterranean staple, boost brain and heart health. And alcohol has been shown to reduce fat-packing blood-sugar swings by 37%. Experts advise opting for a dry…
