Diabetic Diet
Diabetes Mellitus is a condition where the body is unable to process glucose (a form of sugar).
The most prevalent form of Diabetes is Type II Diabetes which occurs mainly in adults. You are at risk from this form of diabetes if you have a generic predisposition to it (i.e. it’s in your family history), if you are overweight, and/or are aged over 40. In Type II Diabetes, the pancreas still creates insulin, but not enough, – or the insulin does not function correctly (insulin resistance). This form of Diabetes can be managed (to some degree) with the right diet and exercise, but also with diabetes pills and insulin.
Diet Plan for the Diabetic
A healthy eating plan for a Diabetic person is a traditional low fat diet. This diet would have a ration of 25-30% fats, 50-55% carbs, and 20% protein. This is the kind of diet that most governmental authorities recommend. Some people have been able to reverse diabetes by making lifestyle and dietary changes.
SAMPLE MEAL PLAN
| Breakfast
1/2 Grapefruit, 1 medium bowl oatmeal topped with extra low-fat milk. 1 Tsp honey and 1 Tsp flax seeds. |

Diabetic Guidelines
- Drink plenty of water (to aid in kidney function).
- Aim for slow but sustainable weight loss.
- Eat little and often – this helps keep blood sugar levels even.
- Don’t eat less than 25% fats, as essential fats will help to slow down absorption of the meal.
- Try to eat plenty of fresh fruits, salads, and vegetables.

Just to point out in your diet plan…it would be more effective to not have mashed potato for dinner because it is a fast processing food. Instead… change the effects of mash, mash it with some sweet potato to put some fibre in so it goes through slower and stops a fast sugar release….also cut out the wine. Some advice for all of you on here if you want to improve your health or even lose weight; look into having a low gi diet. It will help you. My house are type 2 diabetic by inheritance x
I am not diabetic, however, I eat way to much sugar and need to loose some weight!!! Thanks for this website.
