Type 2 Diabetes is a condition that occurs when the body is no longer able to deal with the increasing level of glucose (sugar) in the blood. Normally when we eat food, in particular carbohydrates (starches and sugars) the level of sugar in our blood increases. In response to this the pancreas produces insulin, which brings the level of sugar back to normal. In a person with Type 2 Diabetes, the body may not produce enough insulin or the insulin produced may not work as effectively as it should.

Many people believe they are eating properly and not just those with diabetes. For example, whole wheat bread is considered an exemplary choice for health to manage diabetes well. The serious outcome of eating whole wheat bread is that it can raise blood sugar levels as much as two tablespoons of sugar. That is unhealthy for everyone.

This is a fun, 90 minute entertaining store tour to learn healthier ways to eat, snack and cook for you and your family members that will provide:

  • A guided walking tour of the store
  • Which specific foods to choose
  • How to read food labels
  • How to calculate carbohydrate servings
  • How to make healthier choices

Once you have the correct information about the exact foods that are going to help create optimal health and help reverse diabetes, you will be on the road to living life with more freedom.
