what is the food requirement for a diabtic-type 2 people.?

Answer 1

A diabetic can eat almost any food that other people normally eat provided the food is balanced and within the permissible caloric limits. The daily requirement should be well distributed between the different meals.

One may say that a diabetic nutrition plan (diet) is a balanced diet which helps you attain and maintain normal weight appropriate for your height, age and sex; helps maintain blood sugar levels as close to normal as possible and gives a feeling of well being and satisfaction. A diabetic nutrition plan would most likely permit you to eat almost any normal food of your choice except those containing sugar, glucose, Jaggery and honey. Even these can be permitted once in a while after appropriate adjustments. But you must always remember that over indulgence can lead to problems.

'Being on diet', does it mean eating the same food day in and day out? Can there be no flexibility? 'Being on diet', does it mean eating the same food day in and day out? Can there be no flexibility?
There is no need for a diabetic to have the same food day in and day out. You can vary the type of food but the caloric content should remain constant. You can do this by understanding the food exchange system and using it intelligently to suit your special needs.

What are food exchanges?
Food exchanges are food equivalents designed to facilities easy variation in diet. By learning the use of these food exchanges you can make the diet flexible and exciting to match your taste and needs. Food can be divided into major groups, which are called food exchanges.

>> Cereals

>> Meat, fish and pulses

>> Milk and milk products

>> Vegetables

>> Fruits

>> Oils, fats and nuts

A single unit of exchange within the group has the same caloric value and therefore can be interchanged, e.g. in a cereal exchange, one medium chapatti is equivalent to one small Katori cooked rice or one idly (medium size) or one large slice of bread or half cup cooked dalia (porridge). So, if during lunch, you are permitted two chapattis, you can instead have six tablespoonfuls cooked rice or two iddlies or two slices of bread. Similarly, foods in the other exchange groups can be substituted for one another (Remember the exchanges can only be done within the same group only). In the next few pages the food exchange lists for various groups have been given and we sincerely hope that you will find them useful while planning your diet.

In my experience -good- breeders use certain foods in their contracts because through years of trial and error with their own lines, theyve found that it works best. I think the way my breeder went about things is a good balance. He breeds Bernese Mountain Dogs, and as with any large breed the most crucial time for high quality food is when they are growing. He has it in is contracts to feed is preferred food until the dogs are 18 months old. He does this for 2 reasons: a) He wants the dogs on a high quality, large breed safe diet so that they don't grow too fast causing bone deformities b) Because it is a high quality, organic/human grade food the dogs do really well on it. By the time the dogs are 18 months old and the owners see how well their dog is doing on it, they likely wont change it to something of lesser quality Also, if there are things like allergies or other special cases, the food may be changed, and will not nullify the contract if approved by a vet. Also, after 18 months the food may be changed to whatever the owner wants, but a list of 10 preferred foods are provided (not demanded) in the puppy package to help guide people away from things like ol roy/pedigree/kibbles and bits/science diets ADD: To ensure compliance, the breeder sets up automatic delivery through the food company. They keep track of the dog's age and weight, do a proper feeding guide (input from the owners is welcomed as well) and then they do the math as to how long a bag will last. Then the food is shipped automatically.

Answer 5

Jennifer is right but let me explain a little further.

You are still allowed carbohydrates but you need to balance them meaning the same amount (or close to) for breakfast lunch and dinner

Look at the cereal box for the serving size. Measure two servings so if it is one cup then have two cups for breakfast. One cup of milk is also a carbohydrate, one medium size fruit is also carbohydrate.

It is fine to have one fruit, one milk, and two cups of cereal (you then have 4 servings of carbs).

For lunch you could have 2 pieces of bread (sandwich) some soup (look at the can for carbohydrates) 15 grams of carbohydrates is one serving of carbs so if you ate chicken noodle soup and there were two servings in the can it is says 15 carbohydrates on the label (but you ate the whole can) than you consumed 30 carbohydrates or 2 servings of carbs.

So now you had 4 servings of carbs for breakfast and 4 for lunch. Using these same methods eat dinner and timing of meals becomes really important. Carbohydrates breaks down into sugar for your blood the quickest that is why you need to watch your amount (eating an entire bag of chips would make your blood sugar go through the roof). So rememebr fruit, milk/diary, and breaded items are all carbs and you can still eat them). Meat, nuts are carb free. Fruits and veggies are low in carbs so you need not worry about most of them except for PEAS, CORN, and all POTATOES. These are the high carb veggies so look at the amount of carbs and remember 15 grams is one serving of carbs. Good luck. Also if you aim at reducing your calories and lose 10% of your body weight you may not have diabetes anymore. Diabetic type 2 can be cured or severeity reduced significantly by eating right and exercise if weight loss happens. Good luck.

Answer 6

If you are a type 2 diabetic, you should be under a doctor's care. He or she would be the best one to go to for dietary guidelines. They may even refer you to a dietitian. Basically, you will need to eat several well portioned meals, and a few low caloric snacks, throughout each day. You shouldn't skip meals, and should try to eat at the same time everyday. Sugary foods should be avoided, and fruits should be eaten in moderation. Take with the doctor who is treating your diabetes.
