Diabetic weight loss meal plan
Common Questions and Answers about Diabetic weight loss meal plan
diabetes
First thing you need have on hand is a home glucose test meter. The only way you're going to know how the foods you consumed affected your glucose [blood sugar] levels is by testing, testing, and more testing. Times to test are;
fasting - first thing in morning b4 having any food or colored liquids [plain water is OK]. This will tell you how much stored sugar your liver is dumping during sleep hours. Normal levels are 60/70 - 99 mg/dl or 3.33/3.88 - 5.
I assume you mean you have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (also known as syndrome X or metabolic X syndrome by many) - if so why not go see a dietitian who deals with diabetes (just because they deal with diabetes does't mean they can't help develop a plan that will for you, even if your not diabetic) and have them help develop a plan that will work with you?
So yes, you should get tested (A1C and/or OGTT) and meanwhile you should read up a bit on diabetes and watch for symptoms such as frequent urination and thirst as well as weight loss. But if you are pre-diabetic you might not have any symptoms. Eat regularly, get some exercise and if you have excess weight work on a moderate plan to lose the weight.
Hi,
My wife was recently diagnosed with gestational diabetes, and for some reason I got it into my head to try to test my own. Both of my parents are diabetic and I am overweight.
I tested once, rather stupidly just before finishing a meal and the result was 168.
I tested the next morning, about 8 hours after my last meal and got 111.
I tested that day when I came home from work, about an hour after my last snack and got 90.
Do you have medical conditions that make 
You're looking to lose almost 30 pounds in 1.5 months and that's almost impossible to do safely. Safe weight loss is 1-2 pounds/week, so that means the most you should plan on losing is about 10-14 pounds. There's no reason why you shouldn't get started, though.
The first thing you should do is eliminate sodas or other fizzy, sugary drinks from your diet, along with sugary, processed foods.
If you are diabetic and you aren't loosing any weight at all tells me your blood sugar levels stay under control. The real reason some diabetics loose weight fast is because they do not have such good control. So don't worry, at least your healthy.
Losing 40 pounds by Sep 14 is a pretty tough goal; that's only 12 weeks away. Safe weight loss is 1-2 pounds/week; you'd have to plan on losing a little over 3 pounds/week and wouldn't be able to backslide a bit. I think your goal is a bit optimistic.
You should first check to make sure you don't have an medical issues that might prevent you from losing weight, such as hypothyroidism or insulin resistance. Your doctor can order some simple blood tests.
s on and that definitely will make a difference in how his meal plan is structured. Some insulins require a VERY strict timing, as well as quantity of carbohydrate intake. There is a newer insulin regimin called Lantus which doesn't require a person using it to eat at prescribed times as does the other long-acting insulins. For a person using Lantus, they would take that injection 1 or 2 times each day to cover their basal rate of insulin.
i will be more especific. okey before i was diagnose diabetic my weight was 185 pounds, after that my weight drop to 164 pounds and i keep my weight like this for about 8 months,because i do exercise and diet. im taking metforming 500 mg 3 times a day, but i feel sleepy, tire, and not energy and do not want to do nothing. when i take my blood test from my doctor everything is fine.
i need some advice about this.
thank you.
I am a 66 y/o newly diagnosed diabetic. Went to hospital with chest pains and found out I was diabetic. Miraculously no damage done to eyes, feet, kidneys but discovered a heart anomaly. I started out at 254 lbs and I dieted all last year and was unsuccessful with losing weight. On Dec 5 my doctor prescribed Metformin 1500 mg at night, but I have been taking in the morning.
But if you have Type 2 diabetes, the key to proper management of blood sugar is healthy eating, exercise, weight loss if needed and perhaps oral meds. With your alcohol consumption you are clearly headed to multiple health problems and controlling your blood sugar would be very difficult. The complications that result from not doing so are not pretty.
I've never been able to lose weight without exercise, but many people do.
Cutting simple carbs, such as those found in sugar, products made with white flour, white rice, most processed foods will go a long way toward helping you lose weight.
Center your meals around veggies, high quality/low fat protein, such as lean meats, low/no fat dairy, eggs, nuts, seeds, whole grains etc.
Most important is to make water your beverage of choice. Even diet sodas will not help you lose weight.
