This article unfolds some pertinent methods which can be applied as systematic preventive measures. The best methodologies used to maintain blood sugar level in a collective manner proves worthy. The debate came up with some fruitful result dealing with ADD/ADHD. We became aware of the problematic consequences of abnormalities which affect general health level and their causes due to the abnormalities resulting through both higher and lower levels of glucose in the bloodstream. These problems might turn severe for those who suffer with ADD/ADHD effecting severely. These abnormalities not only create emotional instability but also land the sufferer facing the phenomenon of lacking a particular goal. Keeping these crucial aspects in consideration, you must apply excellent measures so that best cure is dreamed.

Controlling ‘natural’ blood sugar becomes unmanageable in some special cases. It is therefore mandatory to know the important complexities before we move ahead. The chronic cases amount to approximately 5% of the total diabetic population. The diabetic sufferers undergo lack of insulin and their bodies too turn insensitive to it. Ultimately blood sugar starts showing varying effects and don’t remain normal or under control. Proper medication is required at this crucial juncture. Insulin injections are best in keeping your body in normal course of functioning. It should be noted that not all forms of diabetes have symptoms from childhood. Type 2 diabetes develops in the later years of life. You should consult an expert doctor to confirm your doubts if you are suspicious that you are suffering from any of these types. You should not risk your health by blindly following the techniques discussed here and in subsequent articles. Although the advices discussed here are similar to your doctor’s suggestion, it is always best to consult an expert physician for best cure.

Main motto of our discussion is description of ‘blood glucose’ often defined ‘blood sugar’. Digestive process plays crucial role in developing a mechanism in which several energy sources are transformed into glucose. Once this process completes, it is shifted accordingly into blood streams as an active energy resource. Carbohydrates as existing source of energy effectively transform into glucose. Such systematic functioning makes carbohydrates preferred energy provider of your body. As carbohydrates are created with different connotations their impact after digestion differs in the body. Such variations affect one’s blood sugar level. Coordination between carbohydrate digestion and blood sugar levels are like this:

Simple Carbohydrates: With an addition of ‘pure’ sugars, simple carbohydrates provide best impact for the timely blood sugar level. Such phenomenon develops due to urgent and proper molecular breakdown of digestive system, which leads for active transformation of glucose. It is realized that simple sugar has irrefutable affect on blood sugar level which at times turns spiky. Its outcome is seen after 30 minutes of ingestion or in less time.

Complex Carbohydrates: As complex carbohydrates including starches are equipped with many complex molecular structures, their outcome is different taking more time to become glucose. At times this may take up to two hours or less to reach desired energy level particularly when complex carbohydrate is processed for taking shape of glucose and generating energy.

Very Complex Carbohydrates: A few types of carbohydrates like dietary fibers are prepared in highly complicated molecular style. In the digestive tract they create extreme resistant to enzymes hence this phenomenon cause newer problems in which digestive tracts often remain in undigested condition. Resultantly the rate of digestion goes slow heavily affecting the digestion of carbohydrates. Other complications follow when the effect of blood sugar levels varies due to an intake of such carbohydrates. Often compared to ‘drip feeding’, it releases smaller glucose in longer time period.

So how do we measure the impact of carbohydrate rich foods on blood sugar levels? The answer to this question should be familiar to long term readers. The easiest way to do this is to make use of the Glycemic Index (GI). The Glycemic Index simply measures the speed at which energy, from different kinds of carbohydrates, is released into the blood stream. In simple terms High GI foods will lead to very rapid swings in blood sugar levels, with Low GI foods releasing energy over a longer period. It does not take a rocket scientist to work out that the preference for anyone aiming at balanced blood sugar levels should be for the latter! This is especially important in the light of the previous discussions on brain function and nutrition where it was pointed out that the brain’s as the ‘energy hungry’ nerve centre of the body should be powered up consistently and efficiently at all times. Energy spikes are neither consistent nor efficient but rather the brain equivalent of a car belching and shuddering along a freeway! The good news is that such spikes are totally unnecessary. Next week we will take a closer look at some practical tips on using a Low GI diet to control blood sugar. This is one of the best ways to move from ’stop-start’ to cruising!
