Carbs to t2 diabetics are the same as sugar - elevates our glucose [blood sugar] above and beyond acceptable levels. A very good place to look for low carb recipes is the Atkins [diet] web site http://tinyurl.com/atkins-recipes . Replace sugar with artificial sweeteners such as Splenda or Stevia.
720228 tn?1530911279 I want to follow a healthy diet for him. Is a diabetic diet healthy for everyone else in my family?

Avatar f tn We need to taste the food while chewing so more saliva will form that will surround the ground food. After the food has become semi liquid shape only, we need to swallow the food. 2.
Avatar n tn I am a volunteer and a mom of a type 1 diabetic. When it comes to my daughters diet, she eats normal food, the only things that we keep in our house that is sugar free is sodas and crystal light. Our doctor believes we should treat her as a child first and a diabetic second.
Avatar m tn s blood sugar is well controlled with her current regimen, a big change in diet could lead to unstable blood sugar. A diabetic diet is calorie restricted. Diabetics have to manage their intake of calories and especially carbohydrates to prevent peaks and drops in blood sugar. If your mother were to fast, her blood sugar could become dangerously low. Additionally, when people come off a fast they tend to over compensate which could lead to her blood sugar spiking.

Avatar m tn I know you are finding it hard to avoid temptation and break old habits. You gotta say goodbye to that old girlfriend. Once you have, it becomes easy. Yeah, it is not that easy at first but if you can lay fences all day you can do this, including halting your binge eating. Binging is more of an impulsive reaction than a need. A big difference between I need to eat and I want to eat that.

Avatar m tn I went to a diabetes class a couple of year ago you really need to exercise, change your diet (get a good book on diabetes food), watch your blood sugar number (test with your machine 2 time or so a day), and manage your lab tests (like AH1C) once in a while. Your life do not have a limit!

Avatar m tn All nuts are classified as fatty foods, but most have a small amount of carbohydarates and protein in them too. This chart tells you how many grams of carbohydrates and fat are in different types of foods and are grouped by type of food. Go down to the Nuts and Seeds area and you will find the carbohydrates, protein and calorie amounts for the different types of nuts: http://whatscookingamerica.net/NutritionalChart.
Avatar f tn org to find a Registered Dietitian (RD) in your area that will help you with a diabetic diet meal plan or contact a Diabetic Center where you live for help. Thank you for your question.
Avatar f tn Have you herd of LCHF diet many MANY diabetics are on that diet. The reason diabetics get hungry is the more carbohydrates eaten the higher the BG goes, the higher the BG the hungrier you get. eating low carb reduces BG and thus reduces hunger. You need caleries to run your body if you dont eat carbs (whitch your body turns into BG) you need another energy source, fat. LCHF low carb high fat. NO injections needed carbs = BG rise eat less carbs have less BG rise.
Avatar n tn My husband has done the Atkins diet, and it does work. But there is a danger for type 1 diabetics, as you obviously realize, because we must always balance the carbs we eat with injected insulin. The reality is that he CAN omit carbs entirely and do just fine IF HE ADJUSTS HIS INSULIN DOSE accordingly.

798555 tn?1292787551 I do not have the typical Diabetic body or unhealthy pre-diagnosis diet the most diabetics have. Am health mined (always was), never had fat, was a successful endurance athlete for years. 43ysr, 175, 6 ft, built like a 25 yr old swimmer. Eat good too. There are NO sweets in my house. One soda pop per week. I still exercise more than average. So this *****! You get the picture. My lipid panel and cardio (had test) is very good to for a 43 yr old.
Avatar n tn When caught early, there may be some residual insulin production left ... there have been some studies trying to preserve some insulin function in Type 1 diabetics, but I don't think they've been successful. Type 2 diabetics do not have their islet cells destroyed by the body. They often have insulin resistance which means their muscles can't use insulin effectively. Often they are overweight which puts a burden on their pancreas to supply enough insulin.
Avatar m tn A dramatic diet change (protein shake, low glycemic load, plant-based low-calorie diet but no exercise) in diabetics reversed most features of diabetes within one week and all features by eight weeks. That’s right, diabetes was reversed in one week. That’s more powerful than any drug known to modern science.
Avatar n tn If you continue to ignore your diet/nutrition/exercise then diabetic complications will be in your future, if not immediate future. Your doctor is probably looking to see if you're helping yourself by controlling your diabetes or not. Thus, the week delay in the appointment to see what your glucose level is a week from now.
Avatar m tn Medication HELPS to lower glucose levels with your assistance. One has to commit to a lifestyle change by adhering to a diabetic diet, maintaining proper body weight, and perform, at minimum, 30 minutes of physical exercise daily. Slack on one and you defeat the others ending up requiring more medication. Ever hear of anyone getting better by taking more medication? From the levels you posted your much higher than normal levels is attributed to the foods you are eating.
