Diabetic diet consist of?

Nocci said "pre diabetes" is like "pre pregnancy" I agree!! It just doesn't exist. Either you are or you are not.

Do not be afraid of the medications to control glucose numbers. They help enormously and may prevent other problems as well.

Go see your doctor for full physical including blood draws to rule out any other problems you may have also. All the endocrine systems are interconnected and most of us have more than one problem area!!!

You can get an Atkins Carb counter book and go by it to cut the grams of carb down in your food plan to about 100 to 125 per day and it may help you. I do not count calories at all. That is a very meaningless number. Eat all the protein and fat foods you wish. They have absolutely nothing to do with glucose control!! Fat does not pack on the bod as fat. It is excreted in the digestive process. It is the Carbs that pack on the bod as fat and cause the weight gain.

Any low carb food plan you wish, but don't start with the initial phases of any of them. Start on the maintainance levels. Long term lifestyle changes here!!

There is no such thing as a Diabetic Diet! None of us are the same, we are all totally unique individuals and foods treat us very individually and uniquely.

You think you have pre-diabetes? Pre-diabetes is like being pre-pregnant. See you doctor for an HbA1c test and see if you have a blood sugar issue. It's pointles to just sit and wonder if you have a medical condition.

A healthy diabetic diet is just like any other healthy diet. Low on sugary stuff with an emphasis on food that is not overly processed. Lean protein and a limit on fat. You need carbs, because that is your body's fuel source, but the carbs in a potato are better than the carbs in a cupcake (bu you must know this already).

Look up the glycemic index on Google. Eat more low GI foods because these keep you full longer.

Diabetic diet consist of?

I had gestational diabetes but it went away after my son was born. That was fifteen years ago. Now I am 36, about 20 lbs overweight, and think I may be pre- diabetic now. I would like to try to control my diet and lose weight so I don't become diabetic. I know the guide lines for a healthy...

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

your best bet would be to eat from the glycemic index.Its the very best for pre-diabetics. This website has a list of 2,480 foods listed.

The glycemic index (GI) is a numerical system of measuring how much of a rise in circulating blood sugar a carbohydrate triggers–the higher the number, the greater the blood sugar response. So a low GI food will cause a small rise, while a high GI food will trigger a dramatic spike. A list of carbohydrates with their glycemic values is shown below. A GI is 70 or more is high, a GI of 56 to 69 inclusive is medium, and a GI of 55 or less is low.

The glycemic load (GL) is a relatively new way to assess the impact of carbohydrate consumption that takes the glycemic index into account, but gives a fuller picture than does glycemic index alone. A GI value tells you only how rapidly a particular carbohydrate turns into sugar. It doesn't tell you how much of that carbohydrate is in a serving of a particular food. You need to know both things to understand a food's effect on blood sugar. That is where glycemic load comes in. The carbohydrate in watermelon, for example, has a high GI. But there isn't a lot of it, so watermelon's glycemic load is relatively low. A GL of 20 or more is high, a GL of 11 to 19 inclusive is medium, and a GL of 10 or less is low.

Foods that have a low GL almost always have a low GI. Foods with an intermediate or high GL range from very low to very high GI.

Both GI and GL are listed here. The GI is of foods based on the glucose index–where glucose is set to equal 100. The other is the glycemic load, which is the glycemic index divided by 100 multiplied by its available carbohydrate content (i.e. carbohydrates minus fiber) in grams. (The "Serve size (g)" column is the serving size in grams for calculating the glycemic load; for simplicity of presentation I have left out an intermediate column that shows the available carbohydrates in the stated serving sizes.) Take, watermelon as an example of calculating glycemic load. Its glycemic index is pretty high, about 72. According to the calculations by the people at the University of Sydney's Human Nutrition Unit, in a serving of 120 grams it has 6 grams of available carbohydrate per serving, so its glycemic load is pretty low, 72/100*6=4.32, rounded to 4.

Most women needs about 1500-1800 calories a day.

For a diabetic diet you need to ELIMINATE sources of sugar from your diet. big points are colas, sports drinks, energy drinks, canned fruit juices, canned fruits, and the usual cakes/cookies/pies. etc

REDUCE the amount of starches (carbs) in your diet. Reduce ANYTHING that uses flour or starches -- breads, pastas, gravies. And cut back on starchy fruits and vegetables, like corn, rice, beans, and potatoes.

INCREASE the amount of fiber in your diet. eat more leafy vegatables (salads), whole grain breads, and Cheerios.

Eat more lean proteins, especially baked or broiled fish and chicken, trim the fat from pork and beef, or buy "extra lean" cuts of meat. You should not have yet reached menopause, so DO NOT cut back on your intake of RED meats, as you NEED those to help the blood loss from menstruation. but cut back on the FAT .Also, fewer cooking oils, NO fried foods, an stay away from avocados and shellfish. Avocado is a high-fat food, and shellfish are high in cholesterol.

Drink more cool celar water, and stay away from colas (diet only!). Drink less tea and coffee. You can have ALL of these, just don;t over do it -- two colas OR two cups of coffee OR two glasses fo tea a day.

UP YOUR EXERCISE. Walking is absolutely THE best exercise for weight loss! It is easy, everybody can do it in some form, and it works the largest muscles in the body for the highest energy use. Try to get yourself up to 2 miles day. if you are already there, go for 3 or 4.

FINALYY -- ask your family doctor to recommend you to a Nutritionist. The can give you the BEST answer to these questions.

if the doctor does not knwo a Nutritionist, call the local hospital information desk and ask them! ALL hospital have a Nutritionist on call if not on staff.
