I am a diabetic and i want to start eating healthy. i take 30 units of insulin twice a day. Help me out.

Look at this site.
It has dietary information, but more importantly, it has a cure.

Diabetes

All diabetics have a common fluke parasite, Eurytrema pancreaticum, the pancreatic fluke of cattle, in their own pancreas. It seems likely that we get it from cattle, repeatedly, by eating their meat or dairy products in a raw state. It is not hard to kill with a zapper but because of its infective stages in our food supply we can immediately be reinfected.

Eurytrema will not settle and multiply in our pancreas without the presence of wood alcohol (methanol). Methanol pollution pervades our food supply — it is found in processed food including bottled water, artificial sweetener, soda pop, baby formula and powdered drinks of all kinds including health food varieties. I presume wood alcohol is used to wash equipment used in manufacturing. If your child has diabetes, use nothing out of a can, package or bottle except regular milk, and no processed foods.

daily meal plan i.e what to eat in d morning, afternoon & evening and their benefits

diabetics can eat anything that a person without diabetes eats, they just have to be sure to cover their carbs with insulin. The best way to control blood sugars is to determine (with a doctor or certified diabetic educaor’s help) your insulin to carbohydrate ratio, or how much insulin you need to take related to how many carbs you eat. People who use this method gain the tightest control of their blood sugars. I hope this helps, good luck!
p.s. this doesn’t mean that you can just go crazy and eat anything that you want, you should still follow a sensible eating plan just like everyone else.

I’m making a meal plan for my mom who has diabetes. What foods should I include?

admin — Tue, 04 May 2010 04:36:53 +0000

My mom has diabetes and she hasn’t really been watching her diet like she should. She’s making really, really small baby steps and is finding it hard to stay away from sodas and processed meats. Please give me some easy meals to prepare for her. And also give me an idea of what foods she should be eating. I also notice that she often resorts to eating what’s convenient and quick. If you have quick meal ideas for diabetics that would be great too. Thanks.

For diabetics (and most people in general) they should focus on high protein and lots of fruits/veggies. Eat real food…natural fed meat, fruits/veggies. Get a george foreman and it is so easy to prepare meals. Brown rice is good too but takes a long time (just make a big batch and save in the fridge). Another easy ‘meal’ is whey protein shakes. All you need is a blender, some ice, skim milk or juice, peanut butter/banana or fruit, and of course whey protein).

Go to mercola.com and do a search on diabetes. Dr. Mercola is a little out there but a lot of his suggestions have merit.

where can i find detailed hospital meal plans for diabetics?

i am looking for meal plans for a diabetic thats on a 2000 calorie meal plan restricted diet.

Much good luck on that one!! Most hospitals, dieticians and nutritionists follow the USDA food pyramid for meal planning. They do not take into consideration that each of us is individual and cannot eat all the foods recommended for diabetics.

I suggest that you consult an Endocrinologist and Certified Diabetes Educator in your area.

I have on record, that the doctor that admits me to hospital ask my daughter what foods to include on my plate and that I be allowed to administer all my own maintainance meds from my personal supply.

I cannot eat most of the carby foods on the list of "good for diabetics" foods! I would much rather see people watch the grams of carbohydrate per plate than a set number of calories.

Please help me find the best diet for me a type 1 diabetic, besides exercise and meal plan, that I already knw?

I’m a type 1 Diabetic since the age of 5, I am now 25 years old…I have a 2 year old boy. I am on the insulin pump with Novolog Insulin…I don’t exercise as I should since my job requires me to be infront of a computer answering phone call and writing complaints.:)…by the time I get home…all I want to know its relax from the big headache I have on daily basis hearing people and infront of a computer,,,nothing I can do economy its bad….

When people ask me for advice on diet I always tell them to check out the South Beach diet. It has lots of helpful information on carbs and some great recipe ideas. I use Novolog in my insulin pump as well. Best of Luck.

Here is a quick rundown:

g of carbs / g of protein / g of fat
Starch 15 / 3 / 0-1
Milk
whole 12 / 8 / 8
2% 12 / 8 / 5
1% 12 / 8 / 3
Skim 12 / 8 / 0
Fruit 15 / 0 / 0

Meat
High Fat 0 / 7 / 8
Medium Fat 0 / 7 / 5
Lean 0 / 7 / 3
Very Lean 0 / 7 / 0-1
Fat 0 / 0 / 5

Each one of those is grams PER SERVING. To see what counts as a serving go to this site: http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/diet-000042_6-145.html
You are worried about carbs cause you are diabetic, so focus on that and try to distribute your carbs throughout the day with 3/10 in the morning, 3/10 for lunch, 3/10 for dinner and 1/10 as a night time snack.
Even better go see a dietitian and the two of you can go over this for real and work out a meal plan for you. Good luck

hypoglycemic recipes and meal plan?

admin — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 03:41:12 +0000

I have hypoglycemia along with a never ending list of other conditions and need to find a book or place on the web that can give me recipes and meal plans for hypoglycemia. I know supposedly diabetic meals will work for hypoglycemia but i am still a little leerily. I am married, in college and working and going back and forth to the doctor so i don’t have alot of time to plan out meals myself. If anyone knows any places on the web with meals and recipes catering specifically to hypoglycemia i would appreciate the knowledge.

Diabetic diet plans are focused on reducing carbohydrate intake which reduce the excessive production of glucose in the blood stream; since you have the problem of not having enough of it to begin with, it just sounds counter-intuitive to me. It might just be as simple as eating every 3-4 hours and carrying a sweet snack on you should you get low. But I’d suggest you ask your doctor about a possible diet plan, or refer you to a nutritionist or dietitian.

Where can I go to get meal plans for my diabetic condition.?

This is all new to me and I want to start doing right for myself.
I have to lose weight and watch out for certain foods. Where can I find out all this information.

in my area they offer diabetic nutrition classes. usually you would have to get a referral from your diagnosing doctor. Ask your doctor for more information, there could be classes available to you all paid for by your insurance. look in your phone book or ask around your pharmacy too.
