Can someone recommend a diet book or plan for diabetics who want to lower blood pressure too?

Monday, July 12th, 2010

Not WW, Jenny Craig or the like, but a book or a general plan. Thanks!

Adopt DASH diet (The Mediterranean diet). Eat a low-cholesterol, low-fat Diet, which includes cottage cheese, fat-free milk, fish, vegetables, poultry, and egg whites. Use monounsaturated oils such as olive, peanut, and canola oils or polyunsaturated oils such as corn, safflower, soy, sunflower, cottonseed, and soybean oils. Avoid foods with excess fat in them such as meat (especially liver and fatty meat), egg yolks, whole milk, cream, butter, shortening, pastries, cakes, cookies, gravy, peanut butter, chocolate, olives, potato chips, coconut, cheese (other than cottage cheese), coconut oil, palm oil, and fried foods.

suggestions on a diet for pre-diabetics to prevent diabetes?

Here’s the best on the web. No carb counting. Great way for the whole family to eat.http://www.mendosa.com/gilists.htm

This table includes the glycemic index and glycemic load of more than 2,480 individual food items. Not all of them, however, are available in the United States. They represent a true international effort of testing around the world.

The glycemic index (GI) is a numerical system of measuring how much of a rise in circulating blood sugar a carbohydrate triggers–the higher the number, the greater the blood sugar response. So a low GI food will cause a small rise, while a high GI food will trigger a dramatic spike. A list of carbohydrates with their glycemic values is shown below. A GI is 70 or more is high, a GI of 56 to 69 inclusive is medium, and a GI of 55 or less is low.

The glycemic load (GL) is a relatively new way to assess the impact of carbohydrate consumption that takes the glycemic index into account, but gives a fuller picture than does glycemic index alone. A GI value tells you only how rapidly a particular carbohydrate turns into sugar. It doesn’t tell you how much of that carbohydrate is in a serving of a particular food. You need to know both things to understand a food’s effect on blood sugar. That is where glycemic load comes in. The carbohydrate in watermelon, for example, has a high GI. But there isn’t a lot of it, so watermelon’s glycemic load is relatively low. A GL of 20 or more is high, a GL of 11 to 19 inclusive is medium, and a GL of 10 or less is low.

Foods that have a low GL almost always have a low GI. Foods with an intermediate or high GL range from very low to very high GI.

Both GI and GL are listed here. The GI is of foods based on the glucose index–where glucose is set to equal 100. The other is the glycemic load, which is the glycemic index divided by 100 multiplied by its available carbohydrate content (i.e. carbohydrates minus fiber) in grams. (The "Serve size (g)" column is the serving size in grams for calculating the glycemic load; for simplicity of presentation I have left out an intermediate column that shows the available carbohydrates in the stated serving sizes.) Take, watermelon as an example of calculating glycemic load. Its glycemic index is pretty high, about 72. According to the calculations by the people at the University of Sydney’s Human Nutrition Unit, in a serving of 120 grams it has 6 grams of available carbohydrate per serving, so its glycemic load is pretty low, 72/100*6=4.32, rounded to 4.

And that not the only way to keep the wolf at bay .
EXERCISE is as important as Diet. So start walking 1/2 hour to start , then progress to 1 Hour. Nordic walking is the best . Google it.

Good luck because this is a terrible disease.

How many Grams of sugar per day is safe for a diabetic?

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

I’m not diabetic, but I am a medical student that has been given the task to create a Diet plan which consists of 1500 calories, and to be diabetic approved.

My current calculation has given me the sum of 149.2g of sugar for the course of the day, breakfast to dinner.

Is this alright or have i gone too high?
I cannot seem to find a page of any sort saying safe daily intake on sugar for diabetics.

Much appreciated if anyone could feed me info.

You have to count carbs, not just sugars, as carbs will raise blood sugar too. I’d advise you to look at a table of diabetic food exchanges, and see how many carb exchanges someone on a 1500 calorie diet is allowed. I’m SUPPOSED to do this, but I don’t, I just limit myself to one carb serving per meal or snack.
