7 Things to Know About a Diabetic Diet
If you have recently been diagnosed with diabetes, you are
probably experiencing many emotions all at once. You have a lot
of questions that need answers, one of which is how well can you
control your disease with a diabetic diet. The diet that you
follow will play a large roll helping you control your diabetes
instead of your diabetes controlling you.
1- There are no sets of guidelines that have been written in
stone for the control of diabetes for every person. However,
there are certain things suggestions for all diabetes patients,
in fact, for all Americans, that should be followed to maintain
a healthy life style. These suggestions are based on US dietary
guidelines for healthier eating.
2- These guidelines suggest limiting fat intake, limiting
dietary cholesterol, a diet rich in fiber, eat fresh fruits in
moderation, limit the amount of protein that is eaten and reduce
your salt intake. The goal for everyone, especially those with
diabetes, is to set a goal of five servings of fruit and
vegetables, six daily servings of whole grain foods and two
servings a week of fatty fish.
3- When buying the food that are needed for a diabetic diet, it
is important to read the labels, it is especially important
since most food labels show daily values based on a 2,000
calorie diet. This is higher than most diabetic diets allow for.
Therefore, the values given will need to be recalculated into
grams and calories and adjust that into their own diet plans.
4- When measuring foods for your diabetic diet, it is important
to weigh the food also to get
the right amount of daily caloric
intake. Every diabetic should have a food scale that can measure
down to the gram (equal to about 1/28 ounce), in addition to
normal measuring spoons and cups. The food should be measured
after it is cooked to ensure the right amount is being served.
5- The timing of meals is also important on a diabetic diet. No
meal should be skipped, the reason for this is simple,
especially for those individuals who are insulin dependent. If
you skip meals, you run the risk of upsetting the delicate
stability that exists between the insulin and the food
consumption. For a lot of diabetes patient the administration of
insulin is calculated to correlate closely with the timing of
meals
6- Eating between meals is also discouraged for diabetic
patients. This is because if too much food is eaten at the wrong
times, it can lead to weight gain and mess with the work that
the insulin injections are doing to control the disease. It is
very important to follow the diabetic diet that is set up for
you by your doctor.
7- If there are any questions regarding your diet or your
diabetes in general, do not try to answer them yourself. Call
your doctor, the office staff will be more than willing to set
up an appointment for you to discuss any of the concerns you may
have with your physician.
