Type 2 diabetics call us every day, asking about the foods and beverages they should be consuming to lower their blood sugar and weight levels.
The truth is, most doctors tell patients they have diabetes or pre-diabetes and recommend ‘diet and exercise’, but few give sufferers of this disease any direction on what to eat and what not to eat.
The primary goal of diabetic diets is to get within your target blood glucose or sugar range.
Target blood sugar levels are generally 70-130 before meals and less than 180, one to two hours after the start of a meal. Diabetic Diets for Dummies » » »

what does a person with diabetes do that works out & exercises each day do for dehydration? If I drink alot of water my sodium level drops. I keep a low magnesium , chloride , potassium & sodium level & none of the doctors here will tell me what is causing it & how to prevent it.
I have been drinking 100% natural frozen orange juice concentrate for several years now. I always thought this was a very healthy thing to do(relative to a soda pop addiction I still believe it is) but from an overall health standpoint and articles on Dr. Mercolas website, drinking concentrated fruit juices is not all that healthy since it causes spikes in blood sugar levels. So i have given up frozen concentrate juices and replaced them with plain old fruit to satisy my sugar cravings. Im eating watermelon constantly throughout the day. I’ve been doing this for a couple months now. Well, I just read in Trivia’s Vitajournal that “the average person should eat no more than 32 grams of sugar per day.” The article then goes on to show that a large apple has 22 grams of sugar. So according to this article if I eat 2 large apples a day Im eating too much sugar. Is it possible to get diabetes by eating too much all natural God given fruit such as apples and watermelon?

When a person is newly diagnosed as being diabetic many thoughts go through their mind, as well as numerous questions about the ailment. You have to learn about nutrition. Diet information is everywhere, but you have to be careful about what you believe. There are many fad diabetes diets that come and go, but nothing works better than a moderate reduction in calories and adding a whole lot of exercise.
Most diets that offer quick weight loss with little to no effort might work, but they do not work in the long run. If you do your homework, you can beat the odds and retain a healthy weight and live an active life. If you look for diabetes diet information, look for websites that give you strong, factual information. Look for sites that are run by or endorsed by doctors. Though anyone can say they are endorsed by a doctor, you should make sure you have good information just by using common sense. Look through the diebetes diet information that the site is providing and see if it makes any sense to you. If it sounds too good to be true, it most likely is not good information.

Diabetes is an unceasing disease associated with abnormally high levels of sugar in the blood. People with diabetes should avoid using nicotinic acid. It is an unpredictable disease which causes a high glucose level and can cause kidney failure – this develops in about 20% of all patients with diabetes. High blood sugar also called diabetes mellitus. Diabetes can occur when your body doesn’t make enough insulin to keep your blood sugar controlled. This is called Type I diabetes. In overweight individuals, diabetes is often caused by insulin resistance, where insulin levels may be elevated, but the body’s tissues are resistant to its effects. This is also known as Type II diabetes. Diet acts an important role in controlling the diabetes. The diabetic diet may be used alone or else in combination with insulin doses or with oral hypoglycemic drugs.

Does anyone know what foods to avoid if you suspect someone has Type 2 Diabetes? Also, what foods to definitely consume that will help with the weight loss/whatever else is needed?
For a diabetic a diabetic diet is very important to managing their condition, and in some cases even working towards reversing it. If you’re a diabetic then it’s wise to cut the amount of fats and carbohydrates you consume.
Before discussing the diabetic diet it’s important to understand the two types of diabetes. There is the more common type II, or adult onset diabetes, as well as Type I or juvenile diabetes.
