Avatar f tn ” The “calorie is not a calorie” theory has been further substantiated by a recent JAMA study showing that a “low fat” diet resulted in the greatest decrease in energy expenditure, an unhealthy lipid pattern, and increased insulin resistance in comparison with a low carbohydrate and low glycaemic index diet.
Avatar m tn The doctor prescribed Glucophage 750 XR one tablet at night and asked me to limit my food intake from high GI food (Glycaemic Index). I go to the gym for the last three months and now I lost 10 Kilos and my current test results are: -The 2-hour postprandial blood sugar is within the normal range. -The HbA1c test is within the normal range -But the morning test (fasting for at least 9-10 hours) is high 7.72 mmol/L or 139 mg/dl -The 2-hour postprandial is something like 110.
3224201 tn?1380377795 t see protein, fat, or very low carbohydrate foods on the list of foods for glycemic index or glycemic load.  Only carbohydrate foods have a glycemic index and therefore glycemic load , so the other foods you can automatically eat without worrying about them raising your blood sugars. You don't have to cut calories with this type of a lifestyle change, but should eat the number of calories for your ideal weight.
Avatar n tn This is logical for the type 2 diabetic, for eating a fairly low-carbohydrate diet would not require the production of as much insulin by the already stressed pancreas. However, if insulin resistance is the main problem for a type 2 diabetic, then lowering the carb count may not really be the solution, and medications to help the insulin-resistance problem still may be needed.
Avatar f tn also Her carbs should come from low glycaemic index foods. You could read up on Dr. Bernstein (Diabetes solutions - it is also applicable to children) and may help slow the progress. Let us know how you go.
Avatar m tn Please include a search on the Glycemic Index reference food groups. Educate yourself about the foods available to you, what you put into your body and how these foods will affect your life. All carbohydrates are broken down to glucose to produce the energy. But there are two forms of carbohydrates that diabetics need to understand. The good is complex carbs, what you should eat.

For example, potatoes, white rice, foods made with white flour - breads, crackers, etc. Eat lean meats, fish, poultry and vegetables. Avoid snacking before bedtime. Use Google search on 'good carbs vs bad carbs' and the Glycemic Index to understand proper nutrition.
Avatar m tn Probiotics, digestive enzymes, and betaine HCL are also helpful when solid foods are introduced in the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. A good liquid multivitamin will help to reverse her deficiencies (IntraMAX is he best out there and it's organic.). Olive Leaf Extract*, Colloidal Silver, and Licorice will kill the bad bugs. I hope this helps! God bless!
Avatar m tn If this were me, I think I would go to a GI doctor or Internal Medicine doctor. Admittedly, it could be anxiety but I would want to look at some other causes first such as stomach problems or even heart rhythm problems...Before I did that though, I think I would try an Allergy Avoidance Diet and see if that helps. What are you eating?
Avatar m tn Due to stomach problems, I have decided to try a Specific Carbohydrate Diet. Has anyone experienced relief on this diet? So basically, this is what I got from it- fresh vegtables, fresh fruits, lean meats, most nuts, NO LACTOSE, NO SUGAR (except in fruits and honey), and NO STARCHES. Is this about right? Also, what is the policy on yogurt and coconut milk?
Avatar m tn if you have hypoglycaemia secondary to insulin resistance it is important to strictly control carbs (particularly high Glycaemic index foods / white foods / sugars) as these will cause rebound hypoglycaemia (they require a lot of insulin to digest and after that you will go low). If you are feeliung low and want sugar to bring you up, you need to keep that amount of sugars small (it doesn't take much sugar to bring blood glucose up). Ie.
256553 tn?1258883918 Instead of cutting out carbohydrates, eat high fibre foods as well as low glycemic index foods as they slow the digestion of the body's carbohydrates. Also, eat carbohydrates with fats and proteins as that will also slow the absorption of your food.
Avatar n tn I think you're making a common mistake in thinking about food, which is that protein is good and carbs are bad. This isn't at all true -- the majority of your diet should be carbs. Vegetables, for example, the core of a healthy diet, are carbs, whereas beef is very high in fat on purpose and hard to digest despite being high in protein and so is never weight-loss food.

Avatar f tn A healthy diet, moderate exercise and pharmaceutical grade nutritional supplements to help break the cycle of carbohydrate cravings. They recommend 60 to 70 grams of protein a day. For fats, saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, with an emphasis on polyunsaturated, to help you feel satisfied and less likely to overeat. Avoid oxidized or rancid fats, trans-fatty acids and hydrogenated fats. Eat complex carbohydrates, which help to moderate blood sugar swings and provide fiber.
Avatar f tn We have made major modifications to our diet since then - vastly reduced alcohol consumption, elimination for now of potatoes, white bread, white pasta and quick sugars etc, reduced consumption of anything mid range or highish on the glycaemic index and increased consumption of veggies.

Test your glucose before eating and 2-3 hours after to see how the foods you consumed affected your glucose. Once you have the low GI foods handled, then maybe try some moderate/medium but never in the high range. There are many GI charts listing foods consider low GI that to my body are considered high. Like I stated earlier, what is good for you may not be for the next person.
