carbohydrate

Avatar n tn So any extreme in diet may be less than ideal in the long run for overall health than the old-fashioned well-balance diet that diabetics are encouraged to eat. However, some modifications such as lowering carbohydrate intake may be beneficial to a type 2 diabetic if common sense is applied and fats are watched and food groups are still represented for a good balance of nutrition.
Avatar f tn If a certain food spikes you up say over 140 you might try a lesser amount of that food or just eliminate it from your diet. It is not really possible to make a list of foods to eat and not eat because we are all different. But a diet of protein and lots of fresh vegies, small amounts of fruit and small amounts of carbs should do best.
720228 tn?1530911279 Is there anything I should know when changing to a diabetic diet? Anything that the kids should not eat or should eat that is not part of that diet?
232342 tn?1192696720 A slice of bread or one serving of rice (about a half cup of cooked rice) both contain about the same amount of carbohydrates, which means that the pancreas has to produce the same amount of insulin in order to metabolize these foods. Most type 2 diabetics avoid foods with high carbohydrate contents, so he should keep his rice servings small and don't combine this with other foods having high carbohydrate counts.
Avatar n tn It sounds like you are using the shakes as a substitute for food. They should be used in addition to the food that you normally eat and should be taken right before or right after working out. This gets the extra protien you are taking directly into the muscles that you are trying to grow. I would suggest a personal trainer for a few sessions to go over the basics of working out. That should give you the knowledge necessary to train properly.
Avatar n tn Folks who know me know that I am one who takes this situation very seriously, for I have been there. He may have lost some of his warning symptoms of lows. This happens to many diabetics who keep glucose levels low enough that they have a tendency to drop too low when timing of a meal is off or a carbohydrate count was not quite right.
Avatar m tn The good is complex carbs, what you should eat. Complex carbohydrate foods are basically those in wholegrain form such as wholegrain breads, oats, muesli and brown rice. Complex carbs are broken down into glucose more slowly than simple carbohydrates and thus provide a gradual steady stream of energy throughout the day. The bad is Simple carbs, what you should NOT eat.
Avatar m tn Cakes and candies and processed foods should be very limited. White breads, rice and pasta should be replaced wtih whole grain versions and again controlloed portions. Controlling this will be with medication and diet, I'd think. Exercise will also be very important. And best if you can at least walk (other exercise like cycling, swimming, aearobics also may be good) for 30 minutes - 1 hour every day (good also if the exercise can be in 2 sessions - morning and afternoon/evening).
Avatar f tn Az 3 pm 20 g, this can be only quick. At 5 pm I should eat dinner, 40 g carbohydrate, one third quick, the rest slow. And at 9 pm I eat 20 g slow only for the night.
Avatar m tn Through trial and error I determined that I can only eat protein and green vegetables. When eat any other foods I get an extreme allergic eye reaction of redness, pus discharge at night, crusting, itchiness, inflammation, sensitivity to light. This reaction happens even when I eat something as simple as a carrot. My symptoms also include depression, sleeplessness, and being exhausted, even while I stick to a strict diet of eating no carbs.
Avatar n tn Instead, proper nutrition means to focus on achieving food goals of what you should eat each day rather than what you shouldn’t eat. When you consume more vegetables, healthy fats [such as olive oil and nuts], lean proteins, low fructose [sugar] fruits - such as berries and melons - combined with low carbohydrate, low calorie, low starchy foods, your hunger will be satisfied and you will naturally want to make better choices.
Avatar n tn As for foods, the diet that diabetics are encouraged to eat is basically a healthy diet that ALL people should eat -- the only real dietary thing that may affect your glucose levels a great deal is to perhaps try to make sure that your carbohydrate intake is not overly huge, and that those carbs that you do eat are complex carbohydrates such as fruits and vegetables and whole grains rather than simple sugars.
Avatar n tn If weight conscious and diabetic start by lowering your carbohydrate intake. Eat organic whole grains, vegetables, fish and poultry, and fruits, and lean beef and pork. Avoid foods made with white flour; breads, crackers, pasta and white foods like rice and potatoes as these quickly turn into sugar after eating.

Avatar n tn Could you tell me how long after you eat should you test? My BG may be higher than 150 right after I eat, but a couple of hours later, it is in the 120 range.
Avatar n tn includes no sugary foods or liquids, no white rice, no potatoes, no foods made with white flour, minimum carbohydrate intake, and you are at normal body weight have your doctor check your pancreas insulin production. This includes an islet cell C-Peptide test.
Avatar f tn Pay careful attention these food types as they are easily digested and quickly enter the bloodstream as sugar; carbohydrate foods, starches like potatoes, foods made with flour [breads, crackers], white rice, and dairy milk. I'm not saying he cannot eat them but to pay attention to portion sizes, limit intake and/or avoid intake. Instead focus on whole grains, vegies, fish and poultry and lean meats. Fruits contain fructose, fruit sugar. To some diabetics fruits are the same as table sugar.
Avatar f tn First thing you should do is to change your diet. Cut carbohydrate rich foods from your diet. Pls look at www.carbohydrateaddicts.com and docsopinion.

370181 tn?1595629445 Other foods high in carbs are potatoes, rice, pasta, cereal and bread. All diabetics are different so the best way to know what to eat is to buy a blood meter and test your blood sugar two hours after a meal. You want to be under 140 at that time. If a certain food puts you up higher than that, then you want to cut the portion or eliminate that food. Test more frequently until you get to know what you can and can't eat.
Avatar n tn A little while ago i had a nondiabetic doctor recommend a low carbohydrate diet to help keep my blood sugars low and when i mentioned it to my endocrinologist she said that that type of diet puts extra strain on the kidneys and since diabetics are already prone to kidney problems they should avoit it. i would recommend that at your next doctor appointment you ask to be referred to a dietician to go over the proper diet aspects for a diabetic.
