Diabetic Diets
Diabetes and diet go hand in hand
because each day a person with
diabetes is affected by the foods
they eat - good or bad. And
because extra body fat increases the
body's resistance to insulin,
reaching and maintaining a healthy
body weight is a priority. Your
personal diet plan gives you a
balance of good foods throughout the
day and helps you eat the right
foods in the right amounts while you
lose weight. It helps you develop a
better pattern of eating - so
that you can keep your energy level
up throughout your day. And, you
don't have to eat packaged meals or
buy special foods to reach your
goals - your whole family can eat
the same foods and benefit from the
positive changes you'll be making.

This will work just fine
for me. I can prepare my
own fat free pudding
with skim milk and I can
add a slice of cheese
just as easily. Thanks
for explaining it to me.
Also, I discovered
following the plan
yesterday my blood sugar
remained stable! It was
the first day I used
your plan, and that was
the first time my sugar
remained stable all day
since I was diagnosed
two months ago.
Thank you. M.M. |
Diabetes
is a
complicated disease
of energy metabolism. The diagnosis
for diabetes is usually high blood
sugar (blood glucose). Do not be
fooled! There is no such thing as
“borderline” diabetes or “a touch of
sugar”. These are antiquated
phrases. You either have diabetes or
you don’t, and if you do, it's very
important that you control your
blood sugar by maintaining a healthy
body weight, eating well, exercising
regularly, and working closely with
your health professionals to help
you manage diabetes.
Three
Reasons Why Diet is Especially
Important in Diabetes
1. If you are currently at a
healthy body weight and have a
family history of diabetes, you
may prevent the onset of Type II
diabetes by avoiding obesity and
staying fit with a good diet and
exercise program.
2. If you are overweight or
obese, losing weight will help
you lower your risk of
developing diabetes, heart
disease, and high blood
pressure.
3. If you already have diabetes
and are overweight, losing just
10-15 pounds can make a huge
difference in controlling blood
sugar, and in decreasing your
risk of the long term
complications of diabetes.
