Diet To Control Diabetes
Can I control Diabetes with Diet only?
Diet is a very important aspect in the treatment of Diabetes particularly the timing of it. At the beginning you may be successful in controlling Diabetes with diet only, but unfortunately a time will come when only diet won"t be enough, you will require medicine. This time is different for different people, for somebody this can be a few months while for others it may be a few years. It is very important to try with diet first; this will help you to understand the principles of diet and will convince you the need for tablet/Insulin for good control of Diabetes.
Can
I
follow
a
strict
diet
chart?
A
strict
diet
chart
is
something
we
are
not
advocating
these
days.
A
diet
chart
is
not
only
monotonous
but
also
difficult
to
follow
day
in
and
out.
A
strict
chart
restrains
your
freedom
to
eat
and
also
impossible
to
follow
when
you
are
out
for
social
or
professional
reasons.
Rather
than
a
diet
chart
you
should
have
meal
plan.
What
are
the
principles
of
diabetic
diet?
Healthy
eating
is
the
key
to
success
for
which
you
need
to
know
what
to
eat,
how
much
to
eat
and
what
not
to
eat.
To
eat
or
not
to
eat
is
not
the
question,
how
to
make
the
right
decision
about
eating
is
the
question.
We
recommend
three
meals
(breakfast,
lunch
and
dinner)
and
three
snacks.
You
can
space
the
snacks
in
between
your
meals
according
to
your
profession
and
life-style.
There
are
six
components
in
diet:
Carbohydrate,
fat,
protein,
mineral,
vitamin
and
water.
Restriction
and
distribution
of
carbohydrate
throughout
the
day
is
important.
The
amount
of
calories
in
rice
and
wheat
are
the
same,
but
protein
content
is
high
in
wheat.
Wheat
has
more
fiber
in
comparison
to
rice.

Dietary fibers are very important for people with Diabetes (food with high fibers such as bran, cereals, vegetables, fruits, brown bread, pulses like lentils, rajma, whole meal flour, etc), they make the absorption smoother and keep the bowel habit healthy. A mixed diet containing both rice and wheat is preferable.
Regular eating of salad and vegetables is good for nutritional balance. They are natural source of vitamins, minerals and fibers. If your weight is more than what it should be, you need to loose weight. Taking low caloric food and increasing food with high fibers can achieve this.
There is no bar to eat non-vegetarian food unless in special situation like kidney problem. Remember chicken and fish are better than red meat as the amount of saturated fat is less in them. If your cholesterol is high you better avoid yellow of egg and red meat.
