Is there a Safe Detox for Diabetics? Diabetes and Juice Cleanses

Maintaining blood sugar levels is important for everyone, but especially pressing for those with diabetes. Blended juice cleanses can help you get your blood sugar levels back under control, and cut sugar cravings as well – this makes them an incredibly useful tool for both preventing diabetes, and alleviating its symptoms.

Individuals with diabetes do need to be very careful with changes in their blood sugar levels, and with what they eat in general. This means that diabetic cleanses need to be approached with a little bit more care and thought. We’ll cover some of these considerations right here.

Juicing to Prevent Diabetes

In an odd twist,  juice is both one of the main causes of diabetes, and one of the main ways to prevent it. How does that work, you might ask?

The risk of Type 2 Diabetes can be increased significantly by the consumption of sugar (overall diet, lifestyle and genetics also play a role). A lot of the juice products you can buy in the grocery store tend to be filled with sugar, often artificially added in order to create a sweeter flavor. Since we tend to think of juice as “healthy”, we might gulp down a lot of sugar without realizing it.

However, there are also a lot of healthier juice options out there. The green drink in our blended juice cleanses, for example, is filled with only the healthiest fruits and vegetables, and has low overall sugar content  – an 8oz serving has 26 calories and 6 g of sugar. 

Blended juice cleanses can be a great way to help regulate the dangerous sugar levels that might lead to the development of diabetes. They’re also a great way to help regular sugar cravings. This doesn’t only promote weight loss, but it helps you better stick to a healthy diet that can be used to manage diabetes risk factors. While reading the labels on blended juice cleanses, check for the amount of sugar – some have up to 100 g of sugar! 

Juicing and Diabetes Concerns

So, a blended juice cleanse can be a great way to help prevent the high blood glucose levels that can be a risk factor for Type 2 Diabetes. But should people with Type 2 Diabetes be taking part in blended juice cleanses? Can it do anything for diabetes after it has developed?

If you are considering the possibility of a safe detox for diabetics, there are a few things to consider. Blood sugar levels for those with diabetes are much more difficult to control. This means that if you go all out on a hardcore diabetic cleanse to lose weight, you could possibly drop your blood sugar down to levels that are potentially unsafe.

If you have diabetes and aren’t sure about participating in a juice cleanse just yet, it doesn’t mean that you have to abandon the good stuff in a blended juice cleanse entirely – far from it. It does mean that you should try to set more limited and realistic blended juice cleanse goals for healthy living.

Cutting out sugary drinks is still important, as are managing sugar cravings. This is why incorporating green drinks into your regular diet can be a great way to help you achieve weight loss goals, and blood sugar level goals, even if you do have diabetes. By losing weight and cutting sugar cravings, you can help better manage your diabetes overall. With Chef V, you can get a green drink plan developed just for you, delivering the exact amount of the healthiest green drinks out there for your own health needs.

So while undergoing long cleanses may not be the best idea for those with diabetes, blended juice cleanse products can still play an important role in maintaining good health.

Recently Chef V had a clinical research study of its detox and green drink products completed. It shows that a 21 day Chef V detox plus a week of Chef V organic green drink lower A1C blood sugar levels. 

Detox Diet – What is a Detox Diet

Detox diets are frequently featured within the news. Whilst some of the principles of a detox diet are based upon healthy eating, we are advised to watch out for those making unfounded claims.

If you are considering a detox diet, it is advisable to consult your doctor, particularly if the diet involves taking supplements.

What is a detox diet?

A detox diet tends to refer to short term diets which claim to help remove a variety of environmental toxins.

Detox diets may typically vary in length between a few days to a few weeks.

A detox diet plan may include additional supplements as part of the plan.

It is advisable to check with your doctor before taking any supplements and, as certain diets can reduce our intake of specific nutrients

It is also advisable to first discuss any significant change in diet with your doctor.

Is a detox diet recommended?

The NHS does not recommend people rely on detox diets for a variety of reasons:

• They may be expensive
• Herbal ingredients may not have been tested for safety
• Herbal supplements may interact with medication
• Detox diets may not encourage people to stay healthy between ‘detoxes’

Examples of medications which may be affected by herbal supplements include warfarin and the contraceptive pill

Detox diets are no magic cure and healthy eating and exercise principles should be maintained as part of your daily lifestyle.

People with diabetes may also need to take caution with detox diets as some of the diets may include a higher carbohydrate intake than you may be used to.

Should I be eating superfoods?

In response to the number of unsubstantiated claims being made about certain foods being ‘superfoods’, the EU has banned use of the word unless the claims are backed up by credible research.

Research has consistently shown that eating a diet rich in a variety of vegetables and fruit to be beneficial to health and so this diet advice comes highly recommended.

Remember that certain fruits, particularly in the form of smoothies, can contain significant amounts of natural sugars so, if you’re in doubt, you can test your blood sugar levels before and after eating or drinking to see how different food or drink affects your blood glucose levels.

Is there any sense in a detox diet?

The effectiveness of specific, short term detox diets is highly debatable and the NHS has not endorsed any such detox diet.

With this said, it is possible to apply some of the principles of a detox diet to a long term healthy eating plan.

Many of the foods that frequently make it into the average British diet include processed and additive laden foods.

Examples include a lot of packaged red meats, certain ready meals and soft drinks.

Certainly few could argue that a long term healthy eating plan that replaces processed foods with fresh home prepared food is not a good route to strong health.

Are taking health supplements advised?

Vitamins and supplements can affect the body in a variety of ways.

Their may be risks associated with having too much or too little of certain vitamins and supplements which is why it’s advised that you first discuss your intentions with your doctor who will be able to advise you, taking into account your medical history as well as any medication you are on.

Plasmapheresis in diabetes mellitus in Moscow

Plasmapheresis in diabetes mellitus

Plasmapheresis in the treatment of diabetes mellitus

In patients with diabetes mellitus, the most vulnerable place is the circulatory system. Typically, type 1 diabetes is accompanied by autoimmune reactions. People with type 2 diabetes are often at risk for atherosclerosis and related diseases. In addition, their blood contains an increased concentration of low-density lipoproteins and triglycerides. Therefore, plasmapheresis is able to have an effective effect in the treatment of the disease.

After a course of plasmapheresis:

• poisons, toxic substances, salts, lipoproteins and other harmful elements are removed from the body;
• reduces the risk of complications: angiopathy and retinopathy;
• normalizes lipid metabolism;
• glucose concentration is restored;
• disappears insulin resistance;
• increases the rate of blood circulation;
• blood viscosity decreases and its fluidity increases;
• restores the sensitivity of the skin;
• increased tissue perfusion;
• trophic ulcers and wounds heal;
• improves skin condition;
• dissolve atherosclerotic plaques;
• increased sensitivity to drugs that lower blood sugar levels;
• strengthens the immune system;
• improves the functioning of the liver, kidneys, heart, lungs and skin;
• rejuvenates the body.

In diabetes mellitus, plasma (25-40%) is replaced with a crystalloid solution (saline or other substitutes). During one session, the human body gets rid of 10-15% of toxic substances, which is comparable to the action of the most effective drugs. Therefore, after the first procedure, the patient’s condition improves markedly.

To get a stable effect, it is necessary to carry out 3-12 procedures, making a 2-3-day break between them.

For preventive purposes, it is recommended to do plasmapheresis annually.

Plasmapheresis in diabetes mellitus is prescribed if the patient is diagnosed with:

• disorders of fat metabolism, combined with severe hypertriglyceridemia;
• elevated lipid levels, obesity or hypoalphacholesterolemia accompanied by insulin resistance;
• increased blood viscosity;
• autoimmune nature of type 1 diabetes;
• diabetic retinopathy;
• diabetic nephropathy;
• diabetic polyneuropathy;
• diabetic foot and other circulatory disorders;
• allergy;
• skin diseases;
• diseases of the kidneys and liver.

Plasmapheresis is contraindicated for:

• Allergy to the components used;
• heart, kidney or liver failure;
• unstable hemodynamics;
• severe anemia;
• internal bleeding;
• post-stroke and post-infarction conditions.

Plasmapheresis can only be performed on the prescription of a doctor and in a clinic with an impeccable reputation. Otherwise, treatment can lead to poor health.
