The archive of Internal Medicine, 2005 has reported the results of a research study of 12 years on 41000 men, showing that the risk of developing diabetes Type 2 fell as intake of low fat daily products increase.\nA recent study (January 2004 issue of the Journal Diabetes Care.) suggests that magnesium-rich foods like can significantly lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, even in obese people. People should therefore, get the recommended amount of magnesium by eating leafy green vegetables, nuts, and other magnesium-rich foods. Supplemental magnesium can be harmful, especially for people with kidney disease, says Diabetes expert Jerry Nadler.\nLimit intake of excess sugars in foods which are high in saturated fat like baked foods or low in nutritional value lollies and soft drink.\nConsume moderate total fat and limit saturated fat\nFor tips on how to reduce fat intake, go to How to avoid fat in diet?.\nLimit alcohol.\nExercise daily: Exercise helps in lowering the blood glucose levels.

Try things that you like.  Avoid bananas and other high carb fruits.  Experiment with a variety of different packaged low carb sweeties.\n\nTry this recipe:\nRaspberry sugar free Jello\nRaspberries\nLow carb vanilla ice cream\nAdd cream if desired.\n\nYou could add some diet Sprite to make it more like an ice cream soda.\n\nYou could add some heavy cream to fill it out.\n\nYou could add some Splenda to sweeten it up.\n\nYou could add some Crystal Lite drink mix powder to enhance the flavor.\n\nTry other fruit/jello combinations.  (Berries are a good choice.)\n\nI can't eat peanuts, but you might try something with peanut butter.\n\nKeep track of the serving sizes of the ingredients you add to be sure that you aren't underestimating the number of carbs in the finished product.\n\nIf it were me, I would play with it a bit.  I have made some delicious low carb ice cream with sugarless Jello and cream and Splenda.

You need to speak to a registered diatition. In the meanwhile a great resource for you would be the diabetic exchange diet.  \nYou question is not as simple as you think.  Sugars definately need to be reduced.  Carbs should make up approx. 60 % of the AVERAGE diabetic diet. But, again, you need to speak to a diatition that can help you formulate a diet specifically for you.  Your doctor can refer you.

When I learned I was diabetic, I first tried to not eat any chocolate.  Then I discovered that just a small amount (half a dozen mini chocolate chips) would satisfy my craving without blowing my diet.  Something along this line might work for you, too.

I am a Type 2 Diabetic and am very familiar with diet and exercise.  The most important things to watch out for are a high A1C, numbness in feet (neuropathy)and low carb intake.\n\nIf you've been diagnosed with diabetes, your doctor has probably mentioned that you should pay careful attention to nutrition and diet as part of your treatment program. Nutrition experts say that there is no one diet for diabetes, but people with diabetes should follow the nutrition guidelines in the Food Pyramid, while paying special attention to carbohydrate intake. People with diabetes should also eat about the same amount of food at the same time each day to keep blood sugar levels stable. \n\nGetting Started With Nutrition Treatment\nIf you've never attempted to eat a healthy, well-balanced diet before your diabetes diagnosis, it can be difficult to know where to get started. Try these tips from the American Dietetic Association:\n\nEat more starches such as bread, cereal, and starchy vegetables. Aim for six servings a day or more. For example, have cold cereal with nonfat milk or a bagel with a teaspoon of jelly for breakfast. Another starch-adding strategy is to add cooked black beans, corn or garbanzo beans to salads or casseroles. \nEat five fruits and vegetables every day. Have a piece of fruit or two as a snack, or add vegetables to chili, stir-fried dishes or stews. You can also pack raw vegetables for lunch or snacks. \nEat sugars and sweets in moderation. Include your favorite sweets in your diet once or twice a week at most. Split a dessert to satisfy your sweet tooth while reducing the sugar, fat and calories.\nSoluble fibers are found mainly in fruits, vegetables and some seeds, and are especially good for people with diabetes because they help to slow down or reduce the absorption of glucose from the intestines. Legumes, such as cooked kidney beans, are among the highest soluble fiber foods. Other fiber-containing foods, such as carrots, also have a positive effect on blood sugar levels. Insoluble fibers, found in bran, whole grains and nuts, act as intestinal scrubbers by cleaning out the lower gastrointestinal tract. \n\nAfter a diabetes diagnosis, consider seeing a dietitian and developing a meal plan to get started. Taking into account your lifestyle, your medication, your weight and any medical conditions you may have in addition to diabetes as well as your favorite foods, the dietitian will help you create a diet that will prevent complications of diabetes and still give you the pleasure you've always had in eating. To find a diabetes teacher (nurse, dietitian, pharmacist and other health care professional), call the American Association of Diabetes Educators at 1-800-342-2382. If you want to find a dietitian near you, call the American Dietetic Association's National Center for Nutrition and Dietetics at 1-800-366-1655 or visit their Web site at www.eatright.org/find.html.  \n\nHealthier Weight and Lifestyle\nReaching and maintaining a healthy weight is important for everyone with diabetes. Weight control is extremely important in treating type 2 diabetes because extra body fat makes it difficult for people with type 2 diabetes to make and use their own insulin. If you are overweight, losing just 10 to 20 pounds may improve your blood sugar control so much that you can stop taking or reduce your medication. \n\nIf you smoke and have been diagnosed with diabetes, your doctor will recommend that you quit because smoking makes problems caused by diabetes worse. People with diabetes can experience blood flow problems in the legs and feet, which can sometimes lead to amputation. Smoking can decrease blood flow even more. Smoking can also worsen sexual impotence in men, cause high levels of LDL cholesterol (the bad type of cholesterol), and can raise the risk of heart attack and stroke. If you have diabetes and you smoke, you need to quit. \n\nAlthough alcohol in small amounts can be fit into your meal plan if you

Sounds good, i've heard of success either way.  Just make sure what is in those meals is right. No soda, no fast food, lots of chicken, fish, fruits, vegies, whole wheat stuff, yogurt. Not so many cakes and donuts and cookies. Basic common sense for eating, you just need to enforce it. Get all the bad stuff out of the house right away, just toss it or give it away while your still motivated. No alcohol if that applies. Some juice but make sure its all natural, because the ones that aren't are loaded with sugar and a leading cause in diabetes in children and adults. Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer. Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart. \nAs for exercise, lots of cardio. Find something you like. If you have never exercised much before, start with walking 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace. Move on to different terrains that include hills and increase the time spent. After a week or two, try jogging the route. No matter what find an activity you enjoy. Walking to jogging is just an example, try hiking, rollerblading, biking. Once you get into a regular routine, if your not happy with the level of difficulty, try signing up with a gym. Spinning, pilates or kickboxing classes are great. It will also introduce you to working with weights. Talk to a trainer for instruction before using any weights. A cheap investment is a balance ball, it works you stomach while your just sitting on it, like at your computer and its great for posture. There are hundreds of exercises you can use it for for your entire body. I can give you some ideas if you want, just email me. Also for more info on the benefits of water go to www.watercure.com Good Luck!

I am curious as to why you are resistent to seeing a registered dietician? I know that it can be a bit expensive but this IS your health. I have my MSc in Human Health and Nutrition and would very HIGHLY recommend dieticians because they can help you manage your diabetes and have the most reputable cookbooks and resources.\n\nIf that fails, try looking up websites for various diabetes societies and check out their resource pages for cookbook suggestions. Here is a good link to many Diabetes Organizations:\nhttp://www.diabetes.ca/Section_Main/links.asp\n\nOr try Amazon.com for some great cookbooks:\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0764552309/102-9168389-2086538?v=glance&n=283155\n\nGood luck and take care!

Hey gal.  You are very thoughtful to care for him.\nType I diabetes is very difficult, I know.  I have Type II, but still have to follow a diet.  \n\nThis is what my doctor told me.\nHypoglycemia is best treated by eating high protein foods, like cheese, meat (any kind).\n\nSo, actually that is also good for a diabetic as well.  One of the things the diabetic has to watch for is too much carbohydrates and sugar content at one meal as you are aware of.  However, the type I can eat high protein foods that are very healthy.  If a type I or type II develops what we call a crash, the best thing is to have on hand peanut butter and cracker package or cheese and cracker packages and orange juice.  You can also buy glucose tablets to help you both.  \n\nA new study has shown that Chili is a great dish for diabetics and I am so glad.  I had noted that when I ate chili the night before, my blood sugar was usually lower and I never knew why.  It is actually the chili powder in the chili (told to me by my R.N. daughter).  \n\nAnyway, just read labels and watch for foods that contain less sugar and lower carbs.  There are good carbs and bad carbs.  Bad carbs are empty carbs (like Coke or Pepsi, etc.)  Good carbs are in fruit and fruit is allowed for diabetic, just not to the extreme.  \n\nI would suggest that you purchase a diabetic cook book to help you.  Believe it or not, your conditions are similar.  You need something sweet to raise you blood sugar and so do diabetics when their blood sugar drops way to low. You get shaking, confusion, sweating, and you should always carry a package of crackers or hard candy.  You could do the same thing.  \n\nHe is right about not worrying about it too much.  He knows what he is supposed to have if he has been educated in that area.  The hardest thing for a diabetic to do is stay away from good tasting candy, cookies, ice cream.  A meal complete in protein, green vegetables, will be suitable for both of you.  You both also need a snack between meals.  Watch the cholesterol as well.  You both need to stay under 200.\n\nIf he takes his regular dose of insulin, and watches his carb and sugar amounts, he will be okay.  You are so, so thoughtful.  I can't believe how some one could be so considerate as you are.  He is lucky to have you.  (keep him away from alcoholic beverages).\n\nPlease check on WebMed for info about hypoglycemic diets and diabetic diets and find a similar pattern to both and that will help you as well as him.\n\nBest of luck and again, how thoughtful.
