5 Ways To Manage Your Diet For Diabetes

Since my diagnosis with diabetes at the age of eleven, my own diet


has changed dramatically. I maintain my current healthy weight with a
great diet/eating plan. If you do plan on losing more than about a
stone in weight then I would visit your doctor for more tips on how to
do this without risk.

I’ve had diabetes for seven years now, but to tell you that how I
maintain weight is perfect would be totally wrong of me. However, I
can advise you to follow my steps because I know what works and
what doesn’t.

Before I really begin I must also say that I have been brought up by
great parents who taught me to eat everything, and so I do! If there is
something that you don’t like, there are loads of other diabetic
recipes and ideas that you will eat and appreciate.

I am a university student and I like to buy fresh and organic produce


from where I live. I believe that this is important because it can be the
best for your body and contain more nutrients and vitamins than
most supermarkets produce.

I like to source food from my fortnightly farmer's market in town,


which sells amazing meat and dairy produce and fresh in-season fruit
and vegetables. This is another important thing to remember, that
eating fruit and vegetables in their season means that they will taste
better as well as doing you good.

I have a lot of influence from Western European cuisine (mainly


France and Italy) as you will tell, but I do not profess to be a chef and
everything is easy to make and very convenient.

I have read countless diet books and diabetic recipe/diet books, and I
came to a conclusion that I think really works. I fused all the good
things from the diets (but not from every diet) and sort of put
together my own one. I call this my Juvenile Diabetes Healthy Diet!

The “rules” that I would lay down are as follows:

1. Cut back on snacks and change the type of snacks you eat.

Certainly, my biggest downfall although it wasn’t really apparent to


me. When I first started at University, I had little or no routine which
meant that filling my day was difficult, and popping into the kitchen
for a snack, no matter how healthy it felt, was a regular occurrence.
This is one of the hardest things to do for some people, but
establishing a great routine is essential to great diabetes care.

The types of snacks to be eating are unsalted nuts, dried


unsweetened fruit, fresh fruit, fresh vegetables (I love fresh red
pepper and cucumber), dark chocolate (richer and nicer and you only
want 2 squares usually).

2. Cut back on white flour and embrace wholemeal carbs.

This is the most essential part of your diet and the thing that can
show the biggest increase in loss of weight. Some diets in fact just
focus on this point and are very successful. Wholemeal (especially
stoneground wholemeal) is so good for you and has so much more
flavor in it that switching is much easier than you think.

Most people are really surprised at the ranges you can get in your
supermarket, again remember that the bread that is best for you is
the one that is freshest with the least preservatives or added
ingredients. Also, brown or basmati rice is great with a lovely nutty
texture. Wholemeal pasta is great and for your potatoes, I would
totally recommend the smaller new potatoes.

3. Stop drinking cocktails, start drinking wine.

Cocktails are full of sugar, colorants, and preservatives. As a student, I


have had loads of practice at going out and not drinking cocktails, so
my drink of choice is Malibu and Diet Coke if I feel I have to drink
something and I make it last all night. I can then top up with Diet Coke
(which has almost no sugar in it) and it looks as though I am drinking
Malibu, who is to know.

If you are out at a restaurant, red wine is much better than anything
else you can order, (except water of course!) and it has been proven
that the antioxidants in red wine are great for keeping a healthy
heart. The recommended amount is one glass a day with your
evening meal.

4. Start cooking more fruit and vegetables.

Fresh fruit and vegetables are a great way to get all the vitamins and
minerals you need. And there are so many different ways in which to
cook vegetables, but I find that raw is the best followed closely by
steamed. Both of these ways preserve all their natural goodness as
well. I will follow this post with another diabetes recipe post.

5. Drink more water.

I know you have heard people say this many times before, but the
benefits of drinking more water are endless. A few tips on how to get
more water into your day are first to put bottles of water at all the
places you go in the house or work. So keep one in your desk, on your
desk, a glass in the kitchen, the bedroom, the sitting room, etc.

Try and drink all these glasses up and you will be well on your way to
8 glasses a day. The trick is to add a glass every few days or so, if you
try to drink all that water in one go you won’t be so inclined to drink 8
glasses again, trust me! Have a go, it’s amazing how great you will feel.

Managing Diabetes Made Easier

The management of diabetes is progressively evolving. The latest


medical and technological advances-including ones involving the
Internet-have begun providing the 18.2 million Americans affected by
this disease with the kind of freedom few dreamed of not all that long
ago.

Diabetes is a chronic condition in which the body doesn’t produce or


properly use insulin, a hormone needed to convert glucose into
energy.

Since overtime, the high blood sugar levels associated with diabetes-
the nation’s fifth-leading cause of death by disease-can lead to
complications of the eyes, blood vessels, nerves, kidneys, and other
organs, anything that would ease the typical daily regimen of insulin
injections and the like would be most welcome by patients.

According to experts at the Mayo Clinic, that “simplification” is exactly


what’s happening. The Food & Drug Administration, for example, is in
the process of approving both insulin patches and inhalants as
alternative delivery methods to insulin injections. Breakthroughs in
blood glucose monitoring that would allow continuous testing
throughout the day are currently in development.

And then there’s the Internet. Unlike in the past, the latest advances,
treatment, and disease management recommendations are now
available on the Web sites of the American Diabetes Association, the
American Association of Diabetes Educators, and countless others.

Beyond that, people with diabetes are being helped in managing their
disease through the convenient online ordering of necessary diabetic
supplies, pharmaceuticals, and equipment.

Better Living Now manages all insurance claims and paperwork so


patients don’t have to. And they will contact physicians for prescription
renewal and fill necessary medical orders with up to 90-day supplies.

Women Diabetes And Polycystic Ovary


Syndrome How Exercise Can Help

Some women are at higher risk of developing Type 2 diabetes because


of a syndrome that often goes undiagnosed: Polycystic Ovary
Syndrome. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, or PCOS, affects between six
and ten percent of women who are of childbearing age.

One of the symptoms of PCOS is often excess weight gain, with that
weight carried around the abdomen. Reducing the risks of developing
type 2 diabetes in women with PCOS involves, in part, improving insulin
sensitivity.

If you have symptoms such as irregular or infrequent menstrual cycles,


acne, excessive body or facial hair, you may have PCOS. PCOS causes a
hormonal imbalance that can cause these types of symptoms.

Your doctor will be able to identify the syndrome and direct you to
appropriate treatment to control the condition and prevent future
complications such as heart disease, infertility, endometrial cancer,
and diabetes.

Women with PCOS should be sure to eat a healthy diet and include
regular exercise each week. Maintaining a healthy weight, and losing
any extra pounds, will not only help to prevent cardiovascular disease
and diabetes, but it will also help to reduce the symptoms associated
with PCOS.

There are some women that, even with increased exercise and a
healthy diet, will not lose weight. Will these women still benefit? Studies
have shown that exercising has health benefits, regardless of its effect
on weight. Exercise affects how the body metabolizes carbohydrates
(glucose) and improves insulin sensitivity, both of which help to
prevent diabetes from developing.

As our body becomes less sensitive to insulin, the pancreas increases


its production of insulin to try to compensate. By exercising, and
improving our body’s sensitivity to insulin, we keep the pancreas from
working overtime.

Losing weight can be particularly important to women, not only for the
health benefits but also because of the effect on energy and self-
esteem. Even if the exercise does not help you to lose weight in the
short term, it will still have a benefit to your health.

Before starting an exercise program, it is important to check with your


doctor. They may have recommendations on starting a program or
cautions based on your personal medical history.

There are several ways to start an exercise program; the key is finding
what works for you. You may choose to ride a stationary bike, swim,
walk, or dance.

Walking is a great way to begin a habit of regular exercise. Women who


enjoy a daily walk report feeling better, sleeping better, and experience
less moods swings. Should you decide to start a walking program,
make sure you have a quality pair of walking shoes.

Your local running store can provide you with information on the style
of shoe best for you. When you begin, do not worry about your speed,
or how long you walk. Even a slow-paced walk will be good for your
health, and as you build up stamina, you will be able to increase the
length of your walk. Start out slow, studies show that even a slow-
paced walk is good to your health.

As you continue your program, you will probably find your stamina
builds up and you can add more distance to your walk. An excellent
goal to work towards is a thirty-minute walk every day!
