Avatar f tn Lessen the amount of prepackaged products (including prepackaged salads etc) and increase your fruit and veg intake. Meats and fish are 'supposed' to be cooked properly all the way through (no med-rare). But you will get told aloy of what/what not to do. Just do what you think is best. There are women out there that have eaten all of the above throughiut and have had a perfectly healthy baby. Just be semi cautious.
Avatar n tn I have a hard time losing weight fast? What are some of the healthy foods that you should be eating that will give the proteins and vitamins; not the fats and carbs?
Avatar m tn To keep your sodium levels down, avoid high sodium foods, prepared/prepackaged foods, cold cuts, cured meats, and take away the ‘salt shaker’. Adding extra herbs and garlic/spices (without salt) to your food will add more flavor and you will not miss the salt. Hope this helped you.
Avatar n tn I am not a physician, but am a long-time type 1 diabetic, diagnosed 34 years ago. I can only answer from my own experience, both as a chld and now as an adult, but several common-sense things come to mind. First, I would give her doctor a call before she leaves in case he has any suggestions for you. It appears that her glucose control is within acceptable ranges from her last ha1c, so the important thing will be to keep doing whatever you are doing now while she is traveling.
Avatar n tn Yup some of my favorite foods are no longer wanted anymore. I once ate a cookie (prepackaged) and I swear I could taste every salt grain in that thing. Yuck! Good luck finding your balance.
Avatar n tn Choose Life!! Just because it's edibl, doesn't make it food. Stick to whole single ingredient foods, oatmeal, apples, cheese, eggs, chicken, etc. It's easier if you don't allow processed foods in your home, as well. Eat nothing from a prepackaged box or can. If you must have sweets, try making a keto friendly dessert which carries very little carbs. You can do this!!
Avatar f tn Stick to unseasoned meat, fresh fruits and vegetables for 1-2 days. (No prepackaged or multi seasoned products) If you notice a difference add more single ingredient foods to diet. If feeling better, save introduction of wheat products until last.
Avatar m tn Most prepackaged foods will list carbohydrates. Go to calorieking.com for listings of ALL foods, even restaurant foods so you can find out the carbs in anything. Be sure your portion matches what is listed or you will be off on your count.
7677085 tn?1395374075 Trying to get my freezer well stocked with easy but healthy foods for after baby is born. I'm open to prepackaged foods as well but money is tight and I'd rather cook it myself if possible. I already have lasagna, meatloaf, taco meat, and soup. What other meals would freeze well? Do you have recipes?
1720613 tn?1309432604 does diabetic sugar level up to 30 can be reduced my exercise only without taking medicine??
Avatar n tn I wonder if lowering the sodium in your diet would help. I know if I eat too much sodium during the day, I tend to retain fluid by evening and my BP rises and my heart rhythm gets worse. Try watching your sodium for a few days; keep the overall intake under 1500 mg. That means watching for sodium in packaged foods. You'd be shocked how much is in a can of soup. Those prepackaged meals are off limits. There's more to sodium than what's in the salt shaker.
Avatar m tn com is a good site that lists carb counts for all foods. (you can also get them on labels of prepackaged foods). Many pre-diabetics and Type 2's have learned that carb reduction combined with exercise can keep blood sugar in range for a long time without the need for medication.
Avatar f tn Ask your doctor to refer you to a diabetic dietician to help you understand about diet. The types of foods to avoid are those that are highly processed and have high quantities of sugar. Be aware that low fat foods do not necessarily mean low sugar. It is still very important to have a healthy and well balanced diet and to choose the types of foods that slowly release energy in your body. For example, sugar foods will spike your blood sugars very quickly and then drop very quickly.
Avatar f tn Add additional spices such as pepper, garlic (not garlic salt), lemon, and onion to name a few. Sodium content is high in all our convenience and prepackaged foods, cold cuts, smoked meats (smoked ham, bacon, etc), canned foods (soups, stews, vegetables, etc), and cheeses. There are products out there that are made low sodium, so you need to read the food labels. You are young and need to follow your MD when it comes to your blood pressure.
Avatar m tn Do not base your nutritional plan on the Glycemic Index or Glycemic Load. What the GI or GL fail to mention are carbohydrates. Carbs are quickly digested. The easier a food is digested the quicker its sugars enter your bloodstream. Type 2 diabetics must pay careful attention to the amount of carbs eaten. Consider carbs as an equal to table sugar. On nutrition labels carb sugars are listed in grams. Every 7 grams equals one heaping Tablespoon of refined sugar.
370181 tn?1595629445 These are the good guys. The simple ones found in table sugar and processed foods are the bad guys. For a diabetic diet, complex carbohydrates from vegetables and whole grains are best, as they take more time to break down and contain fiber, which is extremely important for preventing heart disease, promoting weight loss and helps prevent the progression of diabetes type 2.

Avatar m tn my question is a type 2 diabetic person can feel weakness and lazy to do activities. thank you.
1770925 tn?1365618522 Do you have reactive hypoglycemia?
Avatar f tn I agree with the above but I have a cheat food every Saturday...it gives you something to look forward to through the week. Once a month is way too long for me, lol. The best advice I ever got was switching to Clean Eating. You can google it for all the details. There is a book you can read by Tosca Reno that is full of info and not very hard to follow. Basically, you eat a lean protein, healthy fat, and complex carb every 3 hours. Eat more to lose weight! Hard to believe, huh?
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 n tn Replace sugar with artificial sweeteners such as Splenda or Stevia. Also, avoid starchy foods like potatoes, rice, and any foods made with white flour - white bread, crackers, pasta/noodles - as these turn quickly into sugar after eating. Post back if you have further questions.
Avatar m tn I have been pre-diabetic for almost 1.5-2 years now. I have had tingling sensation all over the body, Numbness in feet and slight neurotic pain in the legs below knees. And I have been having these bumps on my penis and pubic region for the same amount of time. I have been negative for STDs. And recenly the tingling, itching is mostly in the groin area. My vision seems to be blurred since yesterday. My fasting sugars right now range between 104 -118.
