Learn Coping up With Diabetes In Your Life
type 1 and type2
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 supermarket produce. I like to source food from my fortnightly farmers 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 the conclusion that I think it 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 then 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 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 to 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.
Diabetes can be a bit confusing when you first begin looking into it because diabetes isn’t just one blanket term that can apply to all cases. Not only does diabetes differ greatly in severity, but there are also multiple types of diabetes that you may be diagnosed with, each having their own causes and solutions.
Both main types of diabetes have a few things in common. All types will experience a deficiency of insulin, an important hormone in your body that breaks down sugars in your bloodstream.
By far the most common type of diabetes that people get is type 2 diabetes. This is often considered to be the less dangerous of the two main types. Type 2 diabetes typically occurs later in your life, around your 40s and on.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, TYPE2 DIABETES IS REVERSIBLE? AND I SAY - YES! we have got something amazing and that amazed at the Big Medical research Universities in the UNITED STATES and almost all over the world.
You can find at the journals of following universities at the UNITED STATES & World over.
here.
1> Department of Medicine, Loma Linda University, California
2> Department of Medicine, George Washington University School of Medicine, Washington.
3> Dr. Fedon Lindburg Oslo, Norway.
4> Metabolic Research Group VA Medical center and the University of Kentucky.
5> University Of California, Los Angelis.
Countless studies from scientists and doctors all over the world have proven that people with type 2 diabetes can normalize blood sugar, increase insulin sensitivity, reduce neuropathy pain, lower risk of blindness, amputations, and be taken off all diabetes drugs and insulin injections.
and These techniques have been used successfully by tens of thousands of people in over 40 countries!
It is evident that using conventional methods for diabetes does not cure diabetes, as the medical community still states that diabetes is an incurable disease. Yet, hundreds of studies show otherwise. Over time, diabetics are prescribed higher and higher dosages of drugs. Then when those fail, they get prescribed insulin injections on top of drugs. It doesn't matter if you follow your doctor's recommendations and dosages exactly as prescribed. You will continue to live with diabetes for the rest of your life '' managing'' it until god forbids you to develop horrible complications.
If your doctor has diagnosed you with prediabetes, it simply means your blood sugar levels aren’t yet formally as high as a diabetic, but they’re heading that way and there’s still time for you to turn things around.
if you are type2, then you can get completely cured! Believe me and its true!
you need to check this here for the complete system and an easy remedy of the type2 diabetes cure and I am sure, soon you will put your valuable shout out here, that
