Question

do they have to eat a whole lot or can they eat a little? is just a pot pie ok or should they eat more?

i dont know if i have it and i havent been to the doc yet (probably tomoro) so i was wondering if eating a pot pie and a yogurt was enough so that if i do hav diabetes i dont go too high/low the pie had about 21g carbs and about 11 in the yogurt

im 14, female, active, 5'3", 105 lbs i dont know if i have it i was wondering how to keep it about regular until tomoro or monday

Answer 1

It all depends on the severity of the diabetic and the type they have and the sugar in the foods.

Answer 2

There are so many factors involved in knowing how much or how little to eat. It really is not an exact science, and when you add insulin to the equation, it can become even more complex. Also, everyone's bodies are different, so each person had different requirements. For the moment, do not worry if a pot pie and a yogurt is enough. If you are seeing a doctor soon, he will decide what is best for you. No one here can tell you what your body needs because we simply do now know what you are experiencing, what your bloodwork says, etc... Just try to eat healthy, balanced meals 3 times a day and see what your doctor wants you to do when you visit him. Best wishes.

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.

First of all, most diabetics know what and when they should eat. Certainly, they should be following their MD or dietician's advice. Just as importantly, Diabetics know, or should know, that monitoring of their Blood Sugar is equally important. Every Diabetic should have a Glucometer and supplies. So, I believe the answer to your question is that a Diabetic should eat the right amount and types of foods to keep their blood sugar in a "Normal" range..usually say from 80 to 120, give or take a few points

Answer 5

It's not how much you eat but how you eat...what and how often...As stated above, you should speak with you doctor about this. But, most blood sugar problems share one thing in common and that is an inability for the body to regulate sugar properly. Eating smaller amounts of foods more often throughout the day is generally a common method to help stabilize this problem. Rather than 3 meals a day, 5-7 smaller meals per day...this spacing out of meals allows for blood sugars to maintain some form of regularity among many "sugar problem" sufferers. But it is far from the only thing needed.

Stay away from processed foods, which contain simple sugars. These will throw you blood sugar levels off. Eat whole, natural foods and Complex Carbohydrates (whole wheat) as apposed to simple carbs (bleached wheat flour, white bread, processed grain meals, and especially sugar).

You don't need to eat any more than the average, just eat smarter and space you meals out. Exercise and stay away from junk and processed foods completely.

There are may different types of blood sugar ailments, and how you eat is not enough to help with many of those by it's self, but eating healthy is definitely a common denominator for all of them, and all ailments for that matter. You still will need to work with you doctor, not only speak with him/her, but work with them to see what combination of food, meds, exercise, will work best for you...

Remember this; many types of blood sugar ailments, can be alleviated or even cured through diet. But if you let it go to long, even these ailments will evolve into problems that will become difficult to handle without medications, and possibly no longer able to be cured.

It really depends on their size. How much they weigh, how tall they are, and also how much exercise they do. A sedentary person doesn't burn as many calories as an active person does. Usually they recommend smaller, frequent meals to keep the sugar level stable. It is really recommended to talk to a dietician about the portions of food to get. It also depends on the caloric diet intake they are on. A smaller person would have be advised to have smaller amount of caloric intake.....

Answer 7

You should ask the doctor who is monitoring your diabetes these questions.

These things can vary from diabetic to diabetic. Not everyone has the same treatment.

Answer 8

It depends on your body. If you start to feel uneasy light headed and sweaty...check your sugar. only you know what your body can handle. Are you hypo (low) or (hyper)?

Answer 9

It's not how much you eat it is what you eat
