Diabetic Diet & Blood Gluecose

i am 15 stone but 5 ft in height,i am recently diagnosed as diabetic, most diets include sweet things or copious amounts of fruit, which i cant eat, has anyone PLEASE got a diet for diabetics? i recently canceled my gastric band operation as i was too scared!

No diet that works nowadays has copious amounts of sugar or fruit. Low carb is best. Lots of vegetables, water, lean meat, fish, nuts, eggs, cheese. Lower your carbs and so lower your insulin (if type 1). Exercise is key.

I had gestational diabetes and am overweight. I would like to start the diet again. I can’t remember the carb breakdown….
I think it was something like
bfast-15
snack-30
Lunch-45
snack-30
dinner-45
snack-15

this seems like a lot of food to me…..
Am I remembering it wrong?

it really depends on your height, weight, age.. but typically, for females, it should be broken down as follows:

brkfst-45g
lunch-45g
supper-45g

snacks 15-20g but limit snacks to 2 a day

My mother is a diabetec patient. She was having 329 in beginning but her restricted food intakes & proper medications help her to reduce it to 149 within 5 months. She always ask before eat anything, means she always suspicious about food. Could anyone help me to get the proper diet list for her?

On going research at NIN in Hyderabad has proved that Jowar / Sorghum is suitable food for people suffering from diabetic. Instead choose whole grains like millet, especially Jowar.

Jowar or Sorghum grain is rich in fibre, vitamins and minerals apart from having a sufficient quantity of carbohydrates (72%), proteins (11.6%) and fat (1.9%). Starch is the major constituent of the grain. Jowar is also an important source of nutraceuticals including antioxidants such as cholesterol-lowering waxes.

Here’s the Sorghum Nutrition Facts

Protein: 11.60%

Fat: 1.90%

Minerals: 1.6 (ml/100g)

Fibre: 1.60%

Dietary fibre: 12.69%

Carbohydrates: 72.60%

Energy: 349 (K cal)

Calcium: 25 (mg/100g)

Phosphorus: 222 (mg/100g)

Iron: 4.1 (mg/100g)

hi you the best tip anyone could give you is go to a dietitian for the diet as every one`s diet is totally different and wont suit you in fact it could be total dangerous to use eat good healthy foods and a good 30 min walk every day That would be out said what you may do at school or work

I was wondering since the glycemic index diet controls the sugar in your body, would diabetic cooking be the same? The reason why I ask, is because it is not as easy to get g.i diet cookbooks, but diabetic cookbooks are really easy to get and I also have a few diabetic cookbooks already and wanted to know if they are the same, because I was thinking that they are similar diets.

there are two books i recommend "the diabetic solution" and "the diabetic diet" both by dr. richard Bernstein. i want from an A1C 7.4 down to 5.7 side note: i’m not on medication.

A good friend of mine has type 2 diabetes, and I often hear him say that what he misses most are banana splits. I want to make him a diabetic safe split for Christmas and the bananas are the hard part since they are high in sugar and don’t exactly come in sugar free. But I’ve heard that fried bananas are much better for a diabetic diet then raw. Is this true?

Bananas are not the problem. Fruit is a recommended part of a diabetic diet.

The problem with a banana split is the usual overabundance of ice cream, whipped cream and chocolate syrup.

You can get sugar free ice cream (but - the carbohydrate count is not much less than standard ice cream since a lot of the carbs come from the milk portion); you can get sugar free chocolate syrup (again, however, the carb count will probably only be slightly less than real syrup); and whipped cream really does not contain much in the way of carbs.

Diabetics can eat everything that a non-diabetic can eat — they simply have to account for the carbs much more carefully. Does your friend exercise as part of his way of controlling blood sugar levels? Then have a small banana split, and 20 minutes later, go for a half hour walk.

I am 60 kg and ht 166 cm. Is obesity is condition for diabetic.
How to set balance between diet and exercise what is measurement of both.I am diabetic with lot of fluctuation .

Avoid sugar and high amounts of carbohydrates. Eat balanced meals with whole grains at regular times. Losing weight helps control diabetes.

My sister has recently been diagnosed as a diabetic and has to take the shots. She is in her early 50’s. Since we are all overweight, I thought it is a good possibility we (me and other sisters) could be diabetic candidates. Therefore, I am thinking of joining my sister in following her diet.

AWESOME!

The diet for diabetics is also an excellent way to loose weight. The diet formula decreases your complex carbohydrate intake, but does not eliminate it. It’s really a model eating regimen that all people benefit from.

What a great way to show your sister support!

I have been counseled that I should be on the same diet as a type 2 diabetic because of having PCOS but have no idea what the diet is or should be! Please help
Here’s the general rule of thumb I follow: Keep the carbs and sugars to a minimum. Eat lots of vegetables. Limit the meats to fish and chicken. Avoid beef and dairy. On the carbs you do eat, make sure they’re made with whole grains.
