diabetes and nutrition or diet

org) They make recommendations for women with diabetes and gestational diabetes, but even for women without those conditions, their diet is great. The American College of Gynecology (ACOG.org) site probably has some good information too. The only difference is that you can afford to indulge an occasional craving or two. If your diet is not optimal, a prenatal vitamin is really a good idea--if you can tolerate it. Make sure to get plenty of calcium and iron too.

I have juvinille diabetes and i am only 16 yrs. old. I know i dont eat right and i am gaining weight but i want to be like all of my friends. I dont take my blood sugar alot either. What should i do?

Why are you posting and not your father? Can you explain "precautions"? Do you mean prevent his diabetes from progressing? If yes we need to know what he is doing to control and manage his diabetes - foods he eats, exercise program, blood sugar levels and when he tests? "the good diet plan for them...." Changing lifestyle habits can go a long way in controlling type 2 diabetes. India leads the world in diabetes. This is mainly due to poor diet/nutrition.

Hi, depending how long you have had diabetes, and your overall condition, losing weight and changing your diet to a strict low carb diet / keto diet, could possibly put your diabetes into remission or at worst make it very much easier to manage. The principle of low carb diet is restricting carbs, particularly all grains, sugars, starchy veges and sweet fruits, and eating a diet that focusses more on protein, low carb plant foods (veges and non-sweet fruits), some nuts, and healthy fats.

You can also make low fat cupcakes using plain (or reduced sugar cake mix) and adding diet soda instead of eggs/oil. It cuts down the fat/calories and still tastes fabulous! 100 calorie snacks are the best....and still taste great! Meat: Pick lean meat, stick with more turkey then beef, chicken without the skin. I like to roast some skinless chicken breasts with some low sodium seasonings...mix with a small baked potato and fresh veggies...Yum!

Wouldn't it be beneficial to have a diet tracker so one could the relationship to weight, diabetes, sleep or any one of a number of other conditions and variables. It needn't have every food in details but cover groups of foods.

This tracker will be very beneficial for those users who have dietary restrictions due to medical conditions such as diabetes and high cholesterol, and will also be useful for those who are simply trying to watch what they eat. In addition to providing a calorie counter, the Food Diary will also allow users to track their intake of carbohydrates, fats, protein, sugar, vitamins, minerals, and supplements.

Thank you for your comment. I should have provided more info but wanted to keep it brief. My weight is good and I do exercise - walking is what I love. There is a history of Type 11 on both sides of my family and I did have gestational diabetes back 40 years ago. And no obesity in family either. About 30 years ago, my mother insisted I be checked for diabetes, given the history.

Nice post! We had a thread a long time ago about how diet affects symptoms. I've been a vegetarian for ten years or so and I've found, personally, that overall I feel better and healthier. My dude is also veggie and he says since he's been veggie, his allergies have gone away and he's sick less often, if ever. I was actually vegan for a couple years, too, and it didn't make much of a difference from being vegetarian.

t wait to be able o eat regularly again but in just a few days of this diet i have seen and felt tremendous improvement, the blood has stopped and i am begining to have normal bowel movements. good luck and i hope this helps.

If you areb diabetic, or pre-diabetic, diet is more important than ever. Ask your doctor for guidance on nutrition and diet control. 4. Regular Medical Care: This is so important. An annual physical with bloodwork is so important. The earlier your doctor can identify a medical problem, the better. It's a lot easier to manage a condition when caught in its early stages.

I have yet to hear or read a diabetes web site or doctor not advocating proper nutrition, daily exercise, and maintaining normal weight as the first step in diabetes control management. As a patient you have the right to choose another doctor, anytime, anywhere.

Honey contains fructose, which in a majority of diabetics elevates glucose levels. One must make and maintain lifestyle changes in order to control and manage their diabetes and/or help reverse it.

ORG it is the web site for the american diabetes accociation. On the left side of the page it has a link for nutrition, it has recipies and also the groceries you want to get and eat.. there are many resources there..

When it comes to nutrition issues, the diet is basically the same. Jdrf team jhg is correct and I do hope your mother is seeing an endo and a nutritionist. They can be your mom's best chance to stablize her blood sugars. Let us know how she is doing.

//www.diabetes.org/nutrition-and-recipes/nutrition/overview.jsp My suggestion is low or no sugar and stay away from bad carbs for the latter will jack up his glucose levels. For a list of good carbs vs bad carbs go here http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art6628.

Are you and tallgirl the same? You still need to continue with proper nutrition for the rest of your life until a cure for diabetes is found. Eat small well proportioned meals throughout the day.

I heard that some doctors in England put people with diabetes on a 600 calorie a day diet for 8 weeks and when the diet was over the majority of them no longer had diabetes. Why don't we do this here in America?
