7 Things Not to Say to Someone With Diabetes

Understand the misconceptions to show your support for those living with this chronic illness. For the more than 29 million Americans who have diabetes, living with the disease is challenge enough. However, awkward, ill-informed or insensitive remarks can add to the difficulties faced. To address misconceptions, it’s important to know what not to say to someone with diabetes. People living with diabetes have to think about what they eat for every meal and snack. However, there is no such thing as the “diabetes diet.” A well-balanced diet is recommended for everyone, not just for people with diabetes.

Calorie tracking apps seem like a good idea in theory, until you get to know just how prone they are to human error. After all, how are you supposed to know how many cups of pasta you have on your plate, or how many cashews are in an ounce ? 

While some dietitians have begun asking their clients to send them pictures of their aliments to provide a more accurate picture of how much they’re eating (and how it converts into nutrients), now, there’s a better and easier way. Meet the DietSensor’s app, pairs via Bluetooth with the Scio sensor, which has a small infrared sensor on one end. When placed against your food, it analyzes the signal reflected by the food, and then compares it to DietSensor’s database to determine what’s on your plate. We will also release a pocket-size scale with a partner, so that you can know the weigh of your food on the go, too. Within the app, it shows how much carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are in what you’ve scanned and weighted, and counts it against your recommended daily intake. As both the app and the sensor are still in final production — they won’t be available until september-2016 — the beta test seems to be all set for July and all pre-orders can be taken from our website. DietSensor is still tweaking its algorithm to be able to have a large variety of homogeneous food you may wish to eat. 


 

How Eating Nuts Could Help Lower Diabetes Risk

A recent study shows that people who regularly eat tree nuts — including almonds, macadamias, pistachios, walnuts and cashews — also have lower risks for Type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome and heart disease. However eating unlimited amounts can easily add an extra hundred calories a day to you diet, which could lead to weight gain and increased cholesterol levels. DietSensor, the scanner-and-app combo, introduced at CES 2016, aims to make healthy eating easier. Discover how !

Understanding the American Obesity Epidemic

Obesity — everyone knows it’s bad and that it’s everywhere.
Nearly 78 million adults and 13 million children in the United States deal with the health and emotional effects of obesity every day. The solution to their problem could sound deceptively simple — take in fewer calories a day, while cranking up the calorie-burning process with regular exercise.
But it’s not just a matter of obese people deciding they’re going to eat less, says Donna H. Ryan, M.D., co-chair of the committee that wrote the recent obesity guidelines and professor emerita at Louisiana State University’s Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge.
