Common Questions and Answers about Diabetic diet plan ada
diabetes
Type two can usually be controlled very well with diet and excersize sometimes if enough weight is loss a good diet is followed and an exercise plan, the need for medication can be eliminated.
I would check with your doctor as to which type you might be and the best course of action to help you maintain healthy lifestyle.

The diet is the same diet recommended for Type 1 diabetes. Your doctor or The ADA can give you a copy of the recommended diet. The difference in the diet for Type 2 is that you do not have to eat on such a strict schedule. Please be careful to check your blood sugars often. You should not have more than 3 servings of carbs per meal as recommended by the ADA. I did not take my diagnosis seriously and now I am on 3 different meds and headed toward insulin therapy.
m actually trying to gain weight. If I followed a strict ADA diet while body building 4x a week, and also trying to gain weight by muscle…would I still reduce my chance of Type 2. Losing weight is not an option for me.
Also I only average about 6 hrs a sleep for the past 5 year and drink tons of sodas.
Thank you for your help and support. I started a daily exercise program of at least 30 minutes a day, of walking. For now I think this will be my exercise program until I get use to it.
Also reading about food choices. They have a food tracker and recipes on the ADA website- I'll check that out and I also plan to have a look at eMedTV
Although I have not been diagnosed yet - I just want to be prepared.
I believe recently the ADA officially adopted A1C as the standard diagnostic tool, but you could google that to be sure; I also generally hear 6.0 but have occasionally heard some people use 6.5. Yes, there is lots of controversy and lots of inconsistency in diabetes management and your average PCP is woefully behind the times in their information. That's in part because the ADA is behind the times!
Many find that low carb diet is very helpful or reducing sugar levels (ADA just put out a statement that low carb diets can be very helpful for reducing blood sugar and a1c levels). To find more information you can check out Bernstein Diabetes University on U-tube. There are also many other sites talking about low carb / keto diet for diabetes management. These can also be useful for weight management. People with diabetes can't handle carbs very well.
The only thing about a low carb diet is that a lot of Drs do not believe in it as they have all been brought up on the high carb way of living and think that the ADA diet is the only diet for diabetics. When I did the ADA diet I not only gained weight, but I could never keep my BG numbers in line (I was always high). Now I keep my numbers very, very close to normal doing the low carb. But be warned, Most people do not believe that you can eat low carb and get thin, but it is true.
This was somewhat helpful in that ADA lists foods that are recommended but does not offer a meal plan for weight loss along the lines of the Scarsdale Diet, the Mayo Clinic, etc., which diets eliminate all carbs. Even Dr. Atkins strongly advised against staying on his diet plan long-term for the same reason: no carbs.
I visited Weight Watchers and inquired about their plan for diabetics and was told there is an extra cost because their instructors have to take additional training.
I've been TypeII diabetic for 5 yrs. and now I'm having alot of pain in my stomach after 2months of starting Victoza.
Anyone ever heard for this, happening?
This patient is incarcerated so does not get the proper ADA diet. He tries to eat as well as he can given where he is. Has thyroid condition and takes Synthroid. Has slight hypertension on Vasotec. No diabetic neuropathy. Has very acute diabetic awareness. Suffered optic stroke 10 years ago with total recovery of vision. What could this be and how to treat. He was told by prison medical staff that was not life threatening.
t giving you the support you need to learn how to manage your diabetes, then you are right and you need to seek a different doctor, nurse practitioner or diabetic educator. You need someone to help you find the diet and exercise regime that works for you; we are all different, some people prefer to follow a set diet with mealplans and menus, Others (like me) prefer general guidelines that I can follow and find what works best for me.
