As long as you stay with complex carbs, which are those in whole grains, veggies, fruits, such as apples pears, etc.you should be okay. The complex carbs are the ones that provide fiber to keep you feeling fuller longer.
Also be sure to get plenty of protein with every meal. Eggs and whole grains are excellent sources of protein, as is dairy.
With fruit it’s important to eat them with other foods to slow the absorption of fructose [fruit sugar]. Eat foods low in carbohydrates as carbs to diabetics does the same as sugar. Try to eat whole grains, vegies, poultry, fish and lean meats. Nuts are good snacks as they provide essential fats good for you.
ll need to eat more fat and protein along with whole grain slowly digestible carbs. Avoid highly process carbs and cakes, candies, cookies - things which break down easily and will raise your sugar..
Make sure you put fat with your carbs as it also slows down the absorption.
Use natural fats as much as possible. Ie butter or cream in your potatoes, cream in your coffee. Do not use low fat foods. Regular fat cheese and yogurt, etc. Eat the fat from your meats.
Hi, first i want to tell you that I am not diabetic. I think it is important that I tell you this so you can judge for yourself what I say. My Mom's husband is, and I always had lower blood sugar, so I do my best to follow a diabetic diet as I find I feel much better.
Now in the foodregardss. You want your grains to be as close to nature as possible. Brown rice, not white rice. UncleBen'ss might be a lower score due to fat added in the rice mix?
Healthy diet is high in unprocessed and minimally processed foods. This means you will eat lean meats in moderation, plenty of green and brightly colored veges, moderate whole grain cereals, some fruits - but stay away or limit portions of very sweet fruits, nuts, some dairy, healthy fats / oils.
Bad carbs could be considered those white carbs that break down quickly. This includes bread, white rice, cookies, candies etc.
If he stabilizes, and there is no more vomiting etc, then just fast him completely for 24 hours with just water, then try him again with plain boiled rice, then if he keeps that down and seems hungry, gradually start mixing some plain boiled white fish or chicken breast in with the rice. Very gradually introducing his regular food over the further few days.
I do know carbs raise BG. I ate a lot of rice, vegetables, pulses and a 2 chapattis. Also little very sweet curd. I wanted to see if PP would show high. What do you mean by 'not washing my hands' ? A compounder came to draw the blood. I have given blood for PP gain today with almost same meal with two half boiled eggs. Just to ensure a double check.
and rice is not bad use jasmine its better and it dont bloat your stomach or wheat rice...replace your ceareal with oatmeal..or some boiled patatoes drained then fried in olive oil and onions with some preprika and salt to taste add ketchup if you like...no eggs..drink silk soy...very vanilla works for me an add some to your oatmeal...and stay with natural sugar till you reach your goal...and most of all stay positive...it will come off it will come off....
There have been some other recent posts regarding the Atkins type diet, you might find them interesting reading. It's my understanding that this type of diet does not count calories or anything other than carbs. The general basis for losing weight is "calories in/calories out" - meaning that if you take in more calories than you expend, you will not lose weight.
Test his BG before he eats and 1 hour after.
for many people they get reactive hypoglycemia. They eat BG rises high then the pancreas makes insulin and too much so BG goes down too far.
Many that have reactive hypos end up developing diabetes. so it is a good idea to keep on top of it.
also carbohydrates raise BG " almonds, boiled eggs and tomatoes" not many carbs in that. the oatmeal would have a lot of carbs and a lot of carbs can cause a reactive hypo. also is you meter good?
many beers are made from wheat, barley, corn, or rice...typically high in carbohydrates. Wine is often made from grapes or other fruits that are then fermented to produce alcohol) In short- alcohol does have carbohydrates, but the amount of carbs varies a good bit between various types of drinks.
As for where calories come from... You can find products that have zero carbohydrates, but are still pretty high in calories. A calorie is actually a measure of energy.
This may sort itself out by itself, but very often water is the answer, I would make sure it has been boiled and cooled, and you can buy it in bottles now ,for babies .Pureed plums/prunes may help, just a little , and if you have him on rice cereal try oatmeal or baby muesli ...breast fed babies do need some supplementation of water ,make sure that his food is sloppy not stodgy ...
Hi I have a 14 year old Chihuahua. He was diagnosed with CHF an enlarged heart on on one side. He has been on Lasix, Enalapril and Pepcid AC for 2 years + and his vet added Vedmedin and Spironolactone about a year ago. This past Feb. she added Cerenia and Mirtazapine. In the last year he has gone through 3 episodes of not eating and I took him in every day for 4-5 days to get fluids and the cerenia shot. This really takes a lot out of him. He sleeps a lot now and is not eating well again.
