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.

1/2 Grapefruit, 1 medium bowl oatmeal topped with extra low-fat milk. 1 Tsp honey and 1 Tsp flax seeds. |

I have been typ2 for 4 yrs. 59 yrs. old. Mainly controled w/ metformin, diet & exercise. Six months ago had an angina episope and my bs went thru the roof. A1C 12.6
Sinse have been taking 30 units insulin before bed & 30 units before meals. Last month A1C was 6.0.
I’ve been putting on weight regardless of diet.
Two wks. ago read Dr. Gabriel Cousins “30 Day Diabetes
Cure”. I added lrg. amounts of raw foods to my diet.
I stopped insulin in 4 days. Lost 8lbs. in a week.
BS is slightly higher than with insulin. Endo. says it will come down as I lose weight.
Two Wks. and all is well. I check my BS 8 times a day.
May not be for everyone you need to be very devoted to this course of management.
Now I have to believe that diet is the answer to this diabetic epidemic. Unfortunatly adding large doses powerful hormones is the conventional treatment.
Check out Gabriel Cousins if your interesed.

hi i am 41 years old i have been type 1 diabetic since the age of 3.over the last few years ni have been in bad health.in which time my blood sugars have spirald out of control.the health problems i have had have been sorted but still the sugar levels are out of control.after maney visets to both my gp and the local hospital the only help thay can give is pump up ya insulin levels till it sorts its self out.so up it went at the same rate so did my weight.im now hovering around 16 stone when i should be 12 to 13 and hears the good bit im carying all the weight on my stomack, thear is history of heart problems in my family and this weight gain and whear i am carying it is bad.i feal loasy constantly tiard and miserabla.despite this the docs stick with keep puting insulin up so the weight goes up etc etc ra ra ra can sum one help befor thease so called experts screw me up for good.
I forgot to mention that whole wheat pasta can be eaten in moderation.
I was just diagnosed as type II. The main things to avoid are – white bread, sugary sweets, corn, anything high in saturated fat. The only fruits to watch are watermelon, bananas and pineapple. You can eat these, but only in moderation as they have a very high glycemic index. All other fruits are encouraged often, most all vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, moderate portions of sweets – 1/2 cup ice cream, non-fat or low-fat dairy. Some diabetic “super foods” are green leafy vegetables, citrus fruits, beans, salmon, whole grain breads. Stay away from most processed foods – cooking for yourself is the key. And you can have good fats – olive, olive oil, smart balance, canola oil, plus seasoning like garlic, onions, peppers are encouraged, so you can have flavor too!
I am 52 and I was told I have diabetes. I was told to stay away from white bread, potatoes, spaghetti, and no red meat. I was told to eat fiber like beans, vegetables, fruits but no grapes or bananas because they have to much natural sugar. To drink water. The Doctor wanted to put me on pills, but I said give me a chance to work on my diet first, and he gave me till September 27(3 months). He also told me I need to burn energy and to walk about 30 minutes a day. I plan to get a exercise. I plan to become a vegetarian.

I have been diagnosed with diabetes. I cannot afford a nutritionist. I will like some information on controlling my blood sugar.For years I had a poor diet because of my sweet tooth. Can I be advised on what my diet should consists of?
I just turned 53 and my doctor called me up and told me that my results is that my sugar count is still high and so is my cholesterol. What diet would be recommend for my situation? I am also over weight. I am trying to be better to my body and want to around for at least another 40 years!
