f illness. Sometimes diabetes diet therapy can even help some people come off insulin dependency if they are especially careful to follow every aspect. There are generally two types of the illness that is diagnosed among patients although there are many sub types that afflict many people in varying degrees. Type I diabetes is generally found in children and adolescence who present with an insulin dependency. Type I has now been recognized to have autoimmune factors involved in its diagnosis. Type II diabetes is diagnosed in most people over 40 who are overweight, have a family history of the illness or are inactive. This particular type responds very well to a diabetes diet and can give a new lease on life for patients who are disciplined.
Difficulty can be found in implementing a diabetes diet plan into anyone's diet since it takes a fair amount of discipline over a period of time in order to see the desired results. Unfortunately, some patients just give up and go with insulin shots so that they can 'enjoy' dangerous foods. Eating a meals with lots of carbs will elevate insulin levels for those who suffer with type II. In order to get insulin levels down, lose weight and normalize blood sugar, a patient must strictly follow diabetes diet therapy. Doctors who treat patients can provide menu planning guidelines through medical dieticians who specialize in working with diabetics. Normalizing a diabetic can be tedious, but very rewarding especially when a patient begins to become symptom free as a result.
Part of implementing a diabetes diet plan is changing the way a patient thinks. "For thou are my hope, O Lord God: thou art my trust from my youth." (Psalms 71:5) Since a low carb eating plan is specified for type II diabetics, sugars are out and fat is in! However though unthinkable it is for those who want to lose weight, eating a certain amount of fats is alright in order to satisfy a patient's hunger. With the exception of trans fats which are the result of oil cooked at high temperatures for products such as margarines and corn oils, it's ok to eat foods like butter, coconut oil, fish oil and yes, lard. Trans fat has a negative effect on serum cholesterol which causes symptoms in type II diabetic patients.
A diabetes therapy diet can vary on certain foods, but foods such as sugars and processed flours like white flour are always restricted. Some foods are less harmful than others and menu plans can alternate between some foods in order to provide a patient with variations. There is a wide range of meats that are allowed including red meat, poultry and fish. Beef cuts, pork chops, bacon, chicken, and seafood are allowable on a low carb diet. Oysters have some carbs which nix them and liver of any kind is absolutely not allowed. Vegetables that are green such as broccoli, green beans, brussel sprouts, and celery are part of a good diet as well. Only some fruits are acceptable and in small amounts such as grapefruit, strawberries, and cranberries. No-no's are bananas, watermelon and oranges because they are high glycemic fruits.
Other diabetic diet offenders are rolls, buns, white rice, honey, non-diet carbonated drinks, potatoes, carrots, and alcoholic beverages. Even though there are quite a few restrictions on a well maintained diabetes diet plan, there are also many options for replacement of a favorite food or vegetable. Many food companies have developed low carb bars and food items that have proved to be tasty as well as healthy for those who must be on food restrictions. It's not hard to find a treat for mid-morning break or a pre-wrapped breakfast food to carry on the way to work. There are even pre-packaged TV dinners and frozen meals that can be purchased in many grocery stores that will fit into a diabetes diet therapy plan.
Going out to dinner can be a little more challenging and many patients who adhere strictly to a diabetes diet plan may need to be creative by bringing something on their own in order to be part of the dinner crowd. This can prove to be inconvenient at times, but there are also restaurants that are becoming more aware of the health conscious as they offer broiled, grilled or baked meats and entrees with side dishes that are acceptable to diabetic patients. It is always the most advantageous for anyone with this disease to control the disease through diabetes diet therapy, exercise and a stress managed lifestyle. Diabetics no longer need to think that symptoms and the disease itself cannot be managed, controlled and in some cases reversed. Under the careful supervision of a medical professional and with personal commitment, it is possible for a diabetic patient to live a long, healthy life relatively free from debilitating symptoms.
