How would you know if you have Diabetes?
According to Debra Manzella, R.N., About.com Health’s Disease and Condition content – December 15, 2008
Many of the signs of Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes are similar. In both, there is too much glucose in the blood and not enough in the cells of your body. High glucose levels in Type 1 are due to the lack of insulin, because insulin-producing cells have been destroyed. Type 2 occurs when the body’s cells become resistant to insulin that is being produced. Either way, your cells aren’t getting the glucose they need, and your body lets you know by giving you the following signs and symptoms.
Frequent Urination. Urination becomes more frequent when there is too much glucose in the blood. If insulin is nonexistent or ineffective, the kidneys can’t filter glucose back to the blood. They become overwhelmed and try to draw extra water out of the blood to dilute the glucose. This keeps your bladder full and keeps you running to the bathroom.
Unquenchable Thirst. If it feels like you can’t get enough water and you’re drinking much more than usual, it could be a sign of Diabetes, especially if it seems to go hand in hand with frequent urination. If your body is pulling extra water out of your blood and you’re running to the bathroom more, you will become dehydrated and feel the need to drink more.
Loss of Weight Without Trying. This symptom is more noticeable with Type 1 Diabetes. In Type 1, the pancreas stops making insulin, possibly due to viral attack on pancreas cells or because an autoimmune response makes the body attack the insulin producing cells. The body desperately looks for an energy source, because the cells aren’t getting glucose. It starts to break down muscle tissue and fat for energy. Type 2 happens gradually, with increasing insulin resistance, so weight loss is not as noticeable.
Weakness and Fatigue. Glucose from the food we eat travels into the bloodstream where insulin is supposed to help it transition into our cells. The cells use it to produce energy. If the insulin isn’t there or the cells don’t react, then the glucose stays outside the cells in the bloodstream. The cells become energy starved and you feel tired and rundown.
Tingling or Numbness in Hands, Legs and Feet. This symptom is called neuropathy. It occurs gradually over time as consistently high glucose in the blood damages the nervous system, particularly the extremities. Type 2 Diabetes is a gradual onset, and people are often not aware they have it. Blood sugar might have been high for more than a few years before a diagnosis is made. Nerve damage can happen with or without our knowledge. Neuropathy can often improve when tighter blood glucose control is achieved.
Excerpted from the Diabetes Diet: Dr. Bernstein’s Low-Carbohydrate Solution, by Richard K. Bernstein, M.D., the lower the amount of fast-acting or concentrated carbohydrate you eat, the less significant is the increase of your blood sugar; thus, the less insulin you will need to stabilize blood sugar.
How can Julian Bakery help Diabetics? By offering one of the foods so often missed by Diabetics on a Diabetic diet - quality, high fiber, low carbohydrate breads. There is no need to sacrifice your love for bread. Try Julian Bakery’s Manna from Heaven and Smart Carb #1.

A FEW “GRAINS” OF INFORMATION ABOUT JULIAN BAKERY BREADS
Quality is the heart of the Julian Bakery. Great care is taken to select wholesome, chemical free grains, seeds and nuts for stone grinding and in conjunction with a slow culturing process to provide the customer with the best benefits bread can offer, full of amino acids and complex carbohydrates.
Amaranth is related to the pigweed or lamb’s quarters. There is no solid difference between Amaranth grown for its leaves (vegetable) and the seeds (grain). Amaranth seeds contain protein that is unusually complex for plant sources. Several studies have shown that Amaranth seed or oil may be of benefit for those with cardio vascular disease and hypertension. Regular consumption may reduce blood pressure and cholesterol levels, while improving antioxidants.
Kamut, the Ancient Grain, is a relative of modern Durum Wheat. It can be substituted for common wheat, due to its superior taste and nutrition. Kamut has a rich, buttery flavor and is higher in protein and many minerals (especially selenium, zinc, and magnesium) than other wheat products. It is easily digestible.
Flax Seeds. There are two basic varieties of Flax Seeds – brown and yellow or golden. Flax Seeds contain high amounts of lignans (a group of chemical compounds) and omega 3 fatty acids. Lignans may be of benefit to the heart and may possess anti-cancer properties. Flax may also help the severity of diabetes by stabilizing levels of blood sugar.
Millets are a group of small-seeded species of cereal crops or grains. As they are not closely related to wheat, they are appropriate for those with wheat intolerances. Millets are a major food source in arid and semi arid regions around the world.
Oat is a species of cereal grains. It is rolled or crushed into oatmeal or ground into fine oat flour. It is a health food, with cholesterol-lowering properties. It contains more soluble fiber than any other grain. Oat protein is nearly equivalent in quality to soy protein, which has been shown by the World Health Organization to be equal to meat, milk and egg protein.
Quinoa is a species of goosefoot (chenopodium) and is a grain-like crop grown for its seeds. It is not a true cereal or grain, as it is not a grass. Quinoa is closely related to beets, spinach and tumbleweeds. It is eaten as a leaf vegetable, much like Amaranth. Quinoa is highly valued for its protein content, making it a healthy choice for vegetarians and vegans. Unlike wheat or rice, Quinoa contains a balanced set of essential amino acids, making it an unusual complete protein. It is a good source of fiber and phosphorus and is high in magnesium and iron. It is gluten-free and easy to digest.
Rye is a grass grown as a grain. It is closely related to barley and wheat. Rye is a cereal and should not be confused with ryegrass. Rye has a lower gluten content than wheat flour and contains a higher proportion of soluble fiber.
Spelt is a nutritious ancient grain with a nut-like flavor. The texture is slightly crunchy. Spelt is an excellent source of vitamin B2, a very good source of manganese and a good source of niacin, thiamin and copper.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF JULIAN BAKERY BREADS
HEALTH BENEFITS OF JULIAN BAKERY BREADS
All of Julian Bakery’s breads are extremely high in fiber, especially Manna from Heaven, which is a great sculpt and cleanse bread, perfect for shaping your stomach.
Fiber is comprised of soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber is used by the body for nutrition. Insoluble fiber is not digestible.
If you are on a low-fat diet, ensuring you are getting enough soluble fiber can help reduce your risk of heart disease. Fiber is also important for normal bowel function and can curb your appetite.
Julian Bakery’s Sourdough, yeast-free breads are cultured, which makes them easier to digest, contributing to the friendly flora of our intestines. They are a low stress food, providing predigested released nutrients from the culturing process.
The sprouted grains of Manna from Heaven, Smart Carb #1 and Cinnamon Almond Raisin offer higher quality proteins and nutrients. Sprouts are highly digestible and have a rich supply of enzymes. This quality makes them easily assimilated and metabolized by the body.
The ground flax seed found in the Manna from Heaven, Smart Carb #1, Cinnamon Almond Raisin, Wonderful and Mama Bear breads offer the value of being high in Omega 3 and is anti-inflammatory.
Freshly stone ground whole grains provide a natural whole food for vibrant health. Grinding organic grains in a stone mill prior to baking prevents rancid flour, while achieving more flavor and nutrition.
Combining flours from different grains enhances taste, texture and nutritional content.
I would like to share a couple testimonials with you…
“Your Smart Carb bread is indescribably delicious! My husband and I are so hooked on this bread that we panic when we only have one loaf remaining in the freezer. Thank you for such a wonderful, wholesome product. Rest assured, we are loyal customers forever!”
Dana and Jim
“I adore your breads. I think if more people ate the high protein, healthy carbohydrate breads you make, they would be much healthier, much trimmer and have so much more energy. I have low blood sugar, and I can’t tell you how wonderful it is to have such tasty bread that doesn’t increase my carbo cravings, and leaves me satisfied. You can quote me on that! And please keep up the good work.”
All best, Evelyn

History of The Julian Bakery
If this is your introduction to the Julian Bakery, you’re in for a real treat – a taste treat of breads that is.
The Julian Bakery began 20 years ago in the quaint, historical town of Julian, in the mountains above San Diego, California. An expansion led the business to the seaside community of La Jolla, California, still in the county of San Diego.
Owner and nutritionist, Barbara Squier, creates unbelievable breads; breads you can’t even imagine exist. OK, that’s how I felt when I was first introduced to Barbara and her breads, way back when. I had never seen such beautiful loaves, or smelled such incredible aromas; nor did I know bread could even weigh so much. I can’t tell you how many customers have told me they feel full after eating just one slice.
The bakery’s customers love the distinct taste of the variety of different grains, while enjoying the health benefits of breads made without preservatives or synthetic chemicals.
There are so many flavors and textures from which to choose, your taste buds will just scream, “THANK YOU!” There is something for most everyone: celiacs, diabetics, low carb dieters, vegetarians, vegans, children, and even the most discriminating gourmets. Anyone who is looking for marvelous, healthy, innovative and delicious breads will be ecstatic they found the Julian Bakery.
There are 1 ½ lb. sliced loaves and 1 lb. unsliced rounds, all chock-full of natural, organic and healthy ingredients. There are Low Carb, Wheat Free, Yeast Free, Sweet Free, Gluten Free breads to suit your individual needs.
JB’s most popular breads are the Manna from Heaven, recommended for a healthy heart, diabetes and weight release by Dr. Rosedale in his diet book, and Smart Carb #1, with a net 1 carb per slice, also recommended by Dr. Rosedale.
Finding the Julian Bakery might just change the way you view eating and the way you plan your meals, especially if you have had to go without bread for so long, because you could not find any that suited your needs. For me? I find the Apple Cinnamon Raisin suits my needs for French toast just fine….and I could eat half a round of Real Sourdough Rye dunked in olive oil and vinegar, along with a home cooked Italian meal…but that’s just me.
Stay tuned…I will be giving you loads of information on the health benefits of each bread and its ingredients, along with recipe ideas and much more in the near future.
