Help with Starch Induced Blood Sugar Spikes

Blood glucose spikes, especially after a high carbohydrate starchy meal. There is an enzyme making the news lately called Transglucosidase / Pronounced (trans-gluco-side-ace) and here is why you need to know about it. Laboratory studies have recently shown that when this enzyme comes in contact with starchy foods and natural enzymes in the digestive tract, there is a 31% reduction in rapidly digested starch, which is the kind that causes those blood sugar spikes after a big meal and it also causes an 11% increase in slowly digested starch, causing it to get converted to sugar more slowly if AT ALL.

 THIS IS EXCITING RESEARCH AND DESERVES A CLOSER LOOK. 

If you are a PRE-diabetic that is good news, as prescription treatments can potentially drop you glucose levels too low. Hey, it is also BIG news if you are a full blown type 2 diabetic. WHY?

 Latest guidelines from the "Institute of Medicine" indicates a healthy diet as one whose carbohydrate intake should be 65% of daily food intake. Here are some issues with such a high starch diet regimen: Starch is probably the BIGGEST source of sugar in your diet - even if you eat whole grain bread, brown rice and perhaps whole wheat pasta. Starchy foods are HIGH in glucose precursors - starch gets turned into SUGAR in the digestive process even if some is faster and some slower than others Impact of insulin EXCESS: Insulin is a hormone that is absolutely necessary for carbohydrate and fat metabolism, however when it is secreted in excess, it can become a death hormone. Chronically ELEVATED insulin levels put a body at risk of dying from diseases such as cancer, stokes, heart attacks and ultimately lead to a "Burnt-Out" pancreas incapable of any glucose control at all. EVEN non-diabetics with normal fasting blood sugar levels are at an increased risk IF their after meal glucose levels rise TOO HIGH, TOO FAST.

 The MOST DANGEROUS PERIOD is approximately the first two hours after a starchy meal when all starch gets turned into sugar and can cause spikes in your glucose level and INSULIN levels into the DANGER ZONE. By taking a supplement including TRANSGLUCOSIDASE before A STARCHY MEAL and adequate soluble and insoluble fiber you can go a long ways to counter acting this situation. The American Diabetes Association recommends 20 to 35 grams of fiber a day and most of us do not get ANYWHERE NEAR THAT LEVEL OF FIBER.

 Transglucosidase This is a powerful supplement combined with getting adequate fiber especially with starchy meals and should aid in reducing blood glucose spikes after a meal. ONE capsule contains 450,000 (IU) or international units of Transglucosidase)

Another source I found Enzymedica reduce IN addition to that supplement consider also taking: RhoVita , to lower cortisol, elevated cortisol levels can influence blood glucose levels
