Marketing gimmicks may seem promising, but it’s best to stick to your doctor’s advice.
(COLUMBUS, Ohio) – It’s one thing to search for medical information on the internet, but it’s another to follow advice you find online from those who aren’t qualified to offer it. Experts say that’s especially true when it comes to managing diabetes. There are thousands of pages online dedicated to diets, shakes and supplements all claiming to be the answer to controlling blood sugar, but experts urge patients to be leery of what they read..
“There is no magic cure. There are a lot of things on the internet that make it look very convincing, but the truth is we know that that’s not the best or healthiest choice for your body,” said Elizabeth Snyder, a certified diabetes educator at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. “I’ve seen patients who do everything from buying pills to putting cinnamon on eggs to cutting out all foods that are white, but the truth is, none of this is proven to work.”.
Snyder says it goes beyond internet fads, and even the products on grocery store shelves that use buzzwords like “sugar-free” or “made with whole grains” are not always a healthy choice. It’s important to turn the package over and learn to read the labels. “The two most important things are the serving size and the total carbohydrate,” said Snyder. “A lot of people think that the sugar on the label equates to blood sugar, but that’s not true. It’s going to be anything that’s starch or carbohydrate, including sugar.”.
Trying to find one magic cure and neglecting the lifestyle changes that will truly control blood sugar can be detrimental to managing diabetes and may even prove to be dangerous. Snyder says the best thing to do is find healthy foods, exercise and listen only to the advice from your doctor.

Although your pet has narrower visual spectrum that humans do, but it doesn’t mean that they can’t see colors. Dogs can see shades of grey, blue, and yellow..
Cats are sort of color-blind. They see the world mainly in yellow, blue, and brown shades..
#21. Dogs eat grass because they are sick..
Some people believe if a dog has an upset stomach, they eat grass to help them throw up.
But dogs and cats eat green stuff to improve digestion, treat intestinal worms, relieve constipation, or fulfill some nutritional needs such as fiber..
#20. Dogs can express guilt.
Dogs can feel fear, sadness, and joy. However, studies have shown that dogs don’t have the emotional maturity to feel secondary emotions like guilt and shame..
A dog’s guilty look, which we often see in internet memes, is a reaction to a human’s angry body language or tone of voice..
#19. Cats can see in the dark.
Although cats have a superior ability to see in near-darkness, they cannot see in total darkness..
Depending on the light, the shape of a cat’s pupil can change from almost fully round to vertical slit..

#18. Horses sleep standing up..
horses legs can essentially lock, holding them in an upright position..
#17. Dogs wag their tails to show happiness..
Dogs’ body language is complex, and although dogs do wag their tails when they’re happy, they can also wag their tails out of fear, nervousness, or aggression..
#16. A dog who yawns is sleepy..
Dogs yawn for a lot of reasons. They usually do it to relieve stress or to curb their enthusiasm.
#15. Dogs lick your face because you have a salty taste.
Licking also releases endorphins and makes your pet feel comfortable. When your dog licks your face, they could be trying to keep you clean, gather information about you..
#14. Cats purr when they are happy.
Cats often purr when they are happy. However, they may also purr when they are stressed, frightened, injured or in pain..
Studies have shown the low-frequency vibrations produced by purring is linked to many health benefits such as reducing blood pressure or stress levels..
#13. Carrots are a great diet for rabbits..
The idea that carrots should be your rabbit’s staple diet is a giant myth..

Dogs’ closest relatives, wolves, eat meat in the wild. But dogs need much more than simply meat..
#11. Goldfish have no memory..
Recent research, though, has shown that Goldfish are capable of learning and remembering things for a long time..
#10. Old dogs can’t learn new tricks..
A dog, regardless of how old, can learn new tricks.
#9. Cats hate water..
Cats cat water because it weighs their fur down and makes them feel cold. Cats can be taught to tolerate and even enjoy swimming..

Some other symptoms that might indicate fever in dogs are loss of appetite, lack of energy, shivering or coughing..
#7. Pet rats are dirty..
Rats hate getting dirty and spend tons of time grooming themselves and each other..
