which foods should be restricted in diabetes?

Question

suggest me a standard diet for diabetes

Answer 1

In order to keep your blood sugar level under control, read the following paragraph to update your knowledge about diabetes:

You need not to panic to visit a doctor. There are no Allopathic medicines available in the market that will cure the diabetic conditions of humans but they will control the disorder up to certain levels. The disease is developed due to eating disorders and hereditary. In the first place, I have never accepted diabetes as disease but considered it to be a disorder. The medicine is readily available at home in the form of natural products and you need not to go to market to purchase expensive medicines. To keep the sugar level under control, follow my suggestions and see the difference. Drink the juice of one bitter gourd, one cucumber and one tomato on empty stomach in the morning on a regular basis (drink this juice twice a day if you are insulin dependent) until you start feeling relief and your blood sugar level starts decreasing and continue further for a very long time until your sugar level reaches border line. The sugar level will certainly come down. Eat plenty of cucumber before meal to quench your thrust and to fill your empty stomach. Cucumbers are considered and proved to be very good for diabetic patients. Diabetic patients are always hungry to eat but can not eat all. Avoid banana, mango, custard apple and sweets like ice cream, pastry and cold drinks totally. If you are insulin dependent, even eating rice would be very harmful. You can eat fruits like guava, pineapple, pomegranate, papaya, muskmelon and watermelon. Taking one tea-spoon Fenugreek powder and quarter tea-spoon cinnamon powder on empty stomach, before breakfast daily, would be beneficial to diabetic patients. Regular brisk walking for one hour daily would be the best ideal medicine for diabetic patients. Cut down on non-vegetarian, fast, spicy and oily food, aerated cold drinks and foods rich in calories. Correct constipation. Avoid alcohol and tobacco also. Tea and coffee are also bad for health because they Caffeine promote calcium excretion from the body and results in calcium loss from the bones. Drink plenty of water daily. Take one tablet of Diabecon (By Himalaya an Herbal Health Care Company in India) twice a day if available in your country, as a maintenance dose. Take care and be in good health.

Answer 4

I've been diabetic for the last 2 years. I have to take insulin 4 times a day and believe me......I've had all type of diabetic training now and there are no Restricted foods......you just have to eat in moderate portions. Don't make the mistake that you can't eat any chocolat or sweets. You might get more sugar from eating a whole bowl of strawberries then eating a proportioned piece of chocolat cake.

Answer 5

Get the book suggested in the following text. There is no standard diet per se. Just stay away from sugar and keep your carbs and fats low. The book I refer to in the following will open your eyes:

For type I and type II diabetics...

I've found a wonderful book that will help you control your diabetes and minimize or even eliminate the complications. Some folks who became diabetic due to poor diet and obesity are effectively cured by following the advice in this book. I'm a type II, but it helps all types, especially those who became diabetic due to poor eating habits. It's by an author who has really done his homework, Patrick Quillin, Phd. I have tried his suggestions and found them to be very helpful. I have no complications whatsoever and my blood sugar levels are quite stable. Yes, I still have to take Metformin (Glucophage) daily, but it's the minimum dosage (500mg) and I only have to take it twice a day. I have been off Metformin for as much as a week, but this was with vigorous exercise. Many, what I call, non-hereditary type IIs (those that don't have a recent relative who had it) have gotten off medication completely, just with diet, exercise, and supplements. So, in some instances, it most certainly can be 'effectively' cured.

The book explains what's going on in our system and what to do about it. It's really easy and inexpensive. It's basically diet, supplements and exercise. For example, did you know that cinnamon helps blood sugar absorbtion? It also controls cholesterol and triglycerides. This is according to the USDA: http://www.ars.usda.gov/is/np/fnrb/fnrb0104.htm#pinch

For men: Are you suffering from erectile dysfunction? I was. Yes, WAS. Now that everything's under control, I'm able to have nearly normal sex again.

Answer 6

Foods with high sugars and starches. Starches break down into sugars, so bread, pasta, potatoes are all really sugars. Carbohydrates are mainly sugars, so they should be avoided. Stick to mainly protiens and vegetables and a little bit of fruit- just a little. The best thing to do is go and get a diabetic cookbook, I gave it to one of my friends who recently found out that she had it, she said it changed her life. She knew what she could and couldn't eat, and coudl regulate her diabetes through her diet and not need insulin shots. I got it for her from Borders (Bookstore) on the bargin table for $20 or so,but any diabetic cookbook would be good, get a fat one to give yourself some variety.

Answer 7

Moderation is the best diet for a diabetic according to my dietitian. I tend to believe her since she's also a type 1 diabetic. But I've found that this is true. I once tried a low carb diet (eating carbs only 1 meal a day), but my glucose reading started dropping to the 40s and 50s.

Answer 10

Type 2 diabetes is adult onset diabetes .usually happens around age of 40.it is a multifactorial disease. Off course lifestyle changes have a very powerful role in its prevention and treatment . If done consistently, this can help to cut down the dosage of medication and a better control of your diabetes. Conceptually this goes more or less to all your family members, if they share same kind of lifestyle!!!!!
Now, coming to your question...Simple rule is you want to cut off simple carbohydrates and high fat foods...
Meaning, totally cut off white..sugar, refined flour and such products...like white bread, pasta etc. white rice...high carb vegetables and fruits like potato, sweet potato, butternut squash, peas, banana, mango....basically all fast food..like chips, cookies cracker, regular soda/ drink
Also, stay away from high fat food.
Have small frequent meals at regular intervals...try to avoid long hours without food...

Exercise regularly. This will help better blood sugar control. And do not feel that you have to change so much...As such this is the healthy lifestyle which many of us adopt today even if we do not have diabetes... I do this all the time. My father is a diabetic. I would try to avoid lifestyle factors. Still genetic factors remain which I can not avoid.
