🩺 Diabetes-Safe Gout Protocol

🚨 CRITICAL CORRECTIONS

Some gout treatments are NOT SAFE for Type 2 diabetes!

Cherry JUICE has 16-18g sugar - Spikes blood sugar!
Coffee raises blood sugar 8% in existing diabetics!

✅ Use cherry CAPSULES instead (<1g sugar)
✅ Limit coffee to 1-2 cups or skip entirely

✅ SAFE vs ❌ RISKY for Diabetes

💊 BEST TREATMENT FOR HER

Losartan	✅ EXCELLENT! Improves blood sugar	✅ HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Losartan - PERFECT Medication! ⭐⭐⭐

Four Benefits in One Pill:
1️⃣ Treats high blood pressure
2️⃣ Prevents furosemide-induced gout (reduces uric acid 15-20%)
3️⃣ Protects kidneys from diabetes (25% less kidney disease!)
4️⃣ IMPROVES blood sugar control (lowers fasting glucose & HbA1c)

Research Proven:
• 25% reduction in kidney disease progression
• 28% reduction in kidney failure risk
• 35% reduction in proteinuria
• Improves insulin sensitivity

This is THE medication she needs!

🍒 Cherry Capsules vs Juice

Why Juice is BAD for Diabetes:

Cherry Juice (8 oz):
• Sugar: 16-18g (4 teaspoons!)
• No fiber
• Spikes blood sugar significantly
• Cost: $18/month

Problem: She's on MAX Ozempic trying to control blood sugar. Adding 16g sugar daily = sabotaging treatment!

Why Capsules are BETTER:

Cherry Extract Capsules (2000mg):
• Sugar: <1g (94% LESS than juice!)
• Same gout benefits (35% fewer attacks)
• No blood sugar spike
• Cost: $15/month

Research Shows: Capsules and juice work EQUALLY well for gout, but capsules are MUCH safer for diabetes!

☕ Coffee - Complicated

Coffee Paradox:

PREVENTS Diabetes (before you have it):
• 4-6 cups = 30% lower risk
• Each cup = 10% risk reduction

WORSENS Existing Diabetes:
• Raises blood sugar 8% in diabetics
• Reduces insulin sensitivity
• Makes medications less effective

Updated Recommendation:
⚠️ LIMIT to 1-2 cups decaf BLACK only
⚠️ Monitor blood sugar for 2 weeks
❌ If blood sugar rises >20 mg/dL → stop coffee
✅ NOT essential for gout - water more important!

✅ CORRECTED DAILY PROTOCOL

Diabetes-Safe Gout Management:

Morning (7 AM):

✅ Cherry extract capsules 2000mg (NOT juice!)
✅ Vitamin C 500mg
✅ Low-fat milk 8 oz
✅ 10-12 fresh cherries (has fiber, OK)
⚠️ Coffee: 1-2 cups decaf OR skip

All Day:

✅ 12 glasses water (MOST CRITICAL!)
✅ Low-purine foods (fish, vegetables, beans)
❌ NO red meat, shellfish, sugary drinks
❌ NO Maggi cubes (ever!)
