Is the Ketogenic Diet Safe for People With Diabetes?
The ketogenic diet is a dietary regimen that restricts carbohydrates to very low amounts (typically below 50 grams) and increases fat. The idea is to create a metabolic state of ketosis so that fat can be used for energy as opposed to carbohydrate.

Chocolate Doughnuts – Recipe – Nutrition Studies
My mom never let us have foods like doughnuts for breakfast at home. She tried to make sure we had a healthy breakfast, and doughnuts had a reputation as the bad boy of breakfast foods. Rightfully so—until now. These doughnuts are not only whole grain but also free of oil and processed sugar, so you can include them on the list of healthy breakfast foods you serve to your family.

Falling To Sleep Faster
Baylor University has conducted a study that suggests that writing a to do list at bedtime may help people to fall to sleep quicker as published in the American Psychological Association’s Journal of Experimental Psychology. This study involved 57 students compared sleep patterns of participants who had taken 5 minutes to write down a list of forthcoming activities and duties with participants who recorded completed their completed tasks.
New Classifications for Adult-Onset Diabetes
The five unique subgroups based on severity and underlying disease mechanism analysis — reported by Emma Ahlqvist, PhD, of Lund University in Sweden, and colleagues in the Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology — were:
- Cluster 1: Severe autoimmune diabetes (SAID)
- Cluster 2: Severe insulin-deficient diabetes (SIDD)
- Cluster 3: Severe insulin-resistant diabetes (SIRD)
- Cluster 4: Mild obesity-related diabetes (MOD)
- Cluster 5: Mild age-related diabetes (MARD)
REALLY Personalized Nutrition by Prediction of Glycemic Responses
Highlights:
•High interpersonal variability in post-meal glucose observed in an 800-person cohort
•Using personal and microbiome features enables accurate glucose response prediction
•Prediction is accurate and superior to common practice in an independent cohort
•Short-term personalized dietary interventions successfully lower post-meal glucosePublication:Personalized Nutrition by Prediction of Glycemic Responses- Cell
NIMA Gluten Sensor Not Recommended- Canadian Celiac Association
There are potential difficulties in the measurement of the gluten content of food including:
- using a sample that is representative of the food being consumed,
- detectability of gluten in the food matrix, and
- type of assay used to detect gluten.

Thyroid-stimulating hormone levels were associated with free thyroxine/triiodothyronine ratio among healthy, euthyroid adults, according to researchers in South Korea. They also reported that free thyroxine/triiodothyronine ratio, or FT3/FT4, was a better predictive marker for metabolic syndrome than TSH.

Sucralose Impact Metabolic Health Even on Cellular Level
At a cellular level, those who consumed sucralose experienced increased glucose uptake, inflammation, and adipogenesis — all of which were most notable in people with obesity, according to Nabanita Kundu, PhD, of George Washington University (GWU) in Washington, D.C., and colleagues.
“We wanted to do a systematic study where we look at fat-derived stem cells and how these agents effect those looking at the gene expression and adipogenesis and inflammation, and also look at the human subjects’ fat who have actually taken these agents over a period of time,” explained senior study author

How Consuming low-calorie sweeteners may predispose overweight individuals to diabetes
“Our stem cell-based studies indicate that low-calorie sweeteners promote additional fat accumulation within cells compared with cells not exposed to these substances, in a dose-dependent fashion–meaning that as the dose of sucralose is increased more cells showed increased fat droplet accumulation,”… “This most likely occurs by increasing glucose entry into cells through increased activity of genes called glucose transporters.”

Citrate vs. Carbonate after Bariatric Surgery
This is an excerpt from one of the listserves and an interesting topic for someone to write about:
Question about calcium…
In reading the article American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Integrated Health Nutritional Guidelines for the Surgical Weight Loss Patient 2016 Update: Micronutrients, I noticed that it does not specify between calcium carbonate and calcium citrate. It states “Calcium carbonate should be taken with meals. Calcium citrate may be taken with or without meals” But when I look at vitamins available and read protocols for other bariatric sites, it always emphasizes calcium citrate. I am new to bariatric needs, is this new/changing information? Are there any programs who recommend calcium carbonate as long as it’s with meals? Is there a difference if it’s a sleeve or a GB?
