How do i find what foods i need to eat with type 2 diabetes?

Question

I have recently found out that I am "borderline" Diabetic. I also have hirsutism, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and high blood pressure.

I am taking Metformin, spironolactone, and bupropion. The metformin is for the diabetes, the spironalactone is for the high blood pressure and hirsutism. and the bupropion is to help me quit smoking.

I am having a very very very hard time trying to change my lifestyle and lose weight. I was told that if I were to lose weight i would get rid of all of these complications i am having.

I have done some research on the medication and the diabetes, but i am having a hard time differentiating the foods i can eat. One medication says I can only eat these kind of foods, and the others say the opposite. As well as the foods i should eat with diabetes, I just need to know what foods i should eat, so i can have an easier time getting better

Answer 1

Most pharmacies will have an information pamphlet that will help you. You can find this near the pharmacy station. There is a Diabetes Food Pyramid. This will be lengthy so be prepared. Eat at least three times a day. You may also need to add one or two healthy snacks. eating regularly keeps your blood glucose ( sugar) from becoming too high or too low, and helps prevent overeating. Eat about the same amount of food around the same time every day. Cut down on fats and sugars( concentrated sweets as well). Practice healthy cooking by baking,broiling,steaming or grilling foods, and cook vegetables without oil or butter. Instead, use a nonstick spray to coat your pan. Also, use a sugar substitute,such as Splenda, and substitute applesauce for oil when baking. Choose healthy carbs. Opt for whole grain and high-fiber cereals instead of potatoes, refined sugars and white breads. Whole grain,high-fiber carbs pass through your system ( body) slowly,keeping blood glucose @ an even level. Almost finished. Breads, grains and other starches 6-11 servings per day. Vegetables 3-5 servings per day. Fruits 2-4 servings.Milk 2-3 servings.Meat,meat substitutes, and other proteins( fish)ounces per day.Fats and sweets. SPARINGLY.It's beneficial to lose weight.Diabetes occurs later in life and being overweight can cause Type 2. In addition, weight loss can lower high blood pressure. However, before deciding on an exercise schedule, please discuss this with your Doc since she/he knows your medical background. You can research additional info @ www.diabetes.org/type-2-diabetes. I hope that this helps.

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.

With the newer types of insulin these days, diabetic diets aren't necessarily as restrictive as they used to be. Read here https://tr.im/jylFQ
As with any medicine or diet change, you should discuss it with your doctor. Fruits, both fresh and dried, have a natural sugar in them that will raise blood sugar levels, so be careful about eating too much. Not sure about the nuts. Moderation is always the key. I've been diabetic for 18 years and just recently changed insulin types. I love it because it gives me more freedom in when and what I eat.

Answer 7

You poor dear, you are having a hard time. I am not a doctor, but I have done a lot of reading about nutrition since I have been battling my weight most of my life. I am persuaded that the way to go is low GI (glycaemic index), low GL (glycaemic load). I've read several books by the University of Sydney team, see various links here
http://www.glycemicindex.com/
as well as the Greek Doctor's Diet
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Greek-Doctors-Fedon-Alexander-Lindberg/dp/1405077492
Dr Lindberg is an endocrinologist, it was diabetes in his family which made him become a doctor, so his diet is eminently suited to diabetics.
A popular site for diabetics is David Mendosa, he too advocates the low-GI way
http://www.mendosa.com/gi.htm
The hirsutism and PCOS suggest hormonal problems, so I would advise consulting an endocrinologist if you haven't already done so.
I hope this helps.
Good luck
Sunny

Does your local diabetes association or public health unit run diabetes information sessions? Ask your doctor if there are sessions available and where to find a diabetes teacher. You can also ask to be referred to the public health dietician or a private dietician for advice.

Usually with diabetes, you can eat any food but the number of servings and size of portions are controlled.

I will try to keep it simple. Your metabolism is basically the rate at which your body burns calories to create energy. So the faster your metabolism, the faster you burn calories and the easier it is to lose unwanted weight. To boost your metabolism naturally you just need to eat the right foods.

You can sit down and literally eat a 1,000-calorie dinner and yet be absolutely starving just a few hours later and the reason is simple: Because your body didnt get what it needed in those 1,000 calories so it sends signals to your brain telling you to ingest more calories and thus, the late-night cravings. That means that the surest way to end those late-night cravings and keep your weight loss goals on track is to eat a more balanced, nutritious diet that actually gives your body what it needs.

It's VERY EASY to lose weight if you eat the right foods. Check out Dr. Charles Livingston's video here: http://www.sexyjese.com - it will blow your mind.
