Dr Colberg, Have you read “Body By Science” by Dr. Doug McGuff and Tony Little. They claim that you only need 12 minutes of HIIT to get the amazing results everyone is looking for.

Absolutely. Injury risk increases more than normal in people with diabetes, too. I don’t see HIT as a long-term exercise for most people, regardless of whether they have diabetes or not. Doing some intervals within normal, moderate training is very beneficial, though, to both blood glucose control and fitness improvements.

Comment on Why Everyone Is Getting Diabetes (and Prediabetes) by shericolberg

The paleo diet is a bit extreme for most people to stay on for a lifetime, plus there is the possibility of other issues related to such a high-protein diet. I prefer a more moderate 40-30-30 (carbs-protein-fat) type of diet for long-term eating and health. Milk is mainly an issue for young children and anyone who is lactose-intolerant.

Would you say that the paleo diet would be a good way to fight diabetes? Helps you lose weight, lowers your insulin and no milk.

I was just writing about interval training last night (link in name) on my fitness blog. No one ever tells you about the added risk of injury doing HIIT due to higher impact when running. Be careful.

Thanks Sheri. Will try Kashi bars.

As for adjusting insulin doses, I’ll consult my doctor about it if it’s possible on my case. Thanks for giving me the idea though

It depends. Some granola bars have a pretty high glycemic effect (causing your blood sugars to spike first and drop later) and a lot of calories. Have you tried Kashi bars? They’re whole grain and have a lower immediate impact on blood sugars. You may also try adjusting insulin doses to avoid needing a bedtime snack altogether. Sheri

I usually take Granola bars late afternoon and bed time snacks. Do you think this is okay?

Hello Dr. Sheri,

I just read this post about your book for Latinos with diabetes and I would like to ask if you could let me know when it is translated into spanish.
I have a blog about diabetes (www.curardiabetes.com) with 23,000 visitors a month and I could mention your book there or agree on some collaboration.
Recently I started the same blog in english (www.healing-diabetes.com) with 2,000 visitors per month and growing, just in case you are interested to appear there as well.

Have a nice weekend
Sincerely,
Carlos Gonzalez (Charlie)
