I’ve been cleared by the doc for the program but is there anything anyone can recommend with the diet plan who has diabetes and followed the routine? So far I’m only taking metformin once a day. I found out about it 2 mo ago and pray I can get off it altogether with P90x.

Well the P90X has a pretty healthy diet so you shouldn’t have to. Just listen to your body, if you feel weak and dizzy be sure to eat a snack. Other than that you should be fine.
Good luck.

My mom was just diagnosed with Diabetes this week. Can anyone give me some tips on her diet? What should she try to eat, and what should she try to avoid? any foods that she could eat in daily basis?

Eat LESS Carbs, switch to Whole Wheat breads & pasta
carbs, like pototaes, pasta, turn into sugar in the body
eat more fiber, it lowers blood sugar, more veggies (you get to tell your mom)
look into cimmimon pills (NOT the powder) i’ve heard it helps

If so what has it been that has made you most successfull.

On one of the Diabetes forums, a lady exercises by running up and down her stairs before eating and has been able to not use Metformin to keep her sugar level. Just passing it on.

My husband has been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and High Cholesterol. In supporting his "new" Diabetic diet, I have opted to be on a Diabetic Diet with him. Also, my daughter is 10, and she is very thin, I was having her do this diet as well, but allow her to eat "junk" food on occasion. Is it nutritionally safe for my child to do a No Sugar/Low Fat diet as well?

A Diabetic Diet is actually a healthy diet, but distributed in a way to allow your body to process nutrients more efficiently. Diabetics are not necessarily barred from particular food products, but must integrate them in their dietary schedule. Diabetes educators work to assist individual diabetics to work their favourite foods into a diet for them. Much of this is focused on portions, eating smaller meals over longer periods of time and maintaining glucose counts.

In order for a diabetic to have a healthy lifestyle, they need to follow a few simple rules which can make their diabetes a lot easier to control. Follow these 6 tips. To Learn More About Diabetic Diets, Visit: http://www.diabeticdietsreview.com

I just got news that I have diabetes. I do not have really high blood sugar when I have to use insulin, but the doctor said I definitely need to go on a diet. Would you be kind to advise me on a good diet, please?

It is important that you talk with your physician or dietician when designing you meal plan, coz the dietary needs of individuals may vary. So it’s better to get professional advice. The followings are a general guideline.

•Lower the fat intake, especially saturated fat.

•Limit the use of refined sugar

•Select carbohydrates with low glycemic index (GI) value. Low glycemic value means they increase our blood sugar level slowly, not very dramatically, which is important in diabetes. Carbohydrates rich in fiber are examples for these: like whole grain bread, rice and grains still with the seed cover.
•Eat regular small servings, spreading the daily portion of carbohydrate throughout each meal.

•Avoid over-consumption of highly processed food; you know food like fast food, instant noodles, white bread etc.

•Eat three to five servings of vegetables daily. But don’t eat too much starchy vegetables like potato, yams. Choose beans, cucumber, cabbage, green leafy vegies etc.

•Fruits can be taken in moderation. Avoid too much of sugary fruits though.

•Limit alcohol consumption. Alcohol can cause two special problems. One is that it contains lots of energy that may not have been included into your meal plan. Also alcohol may impair your judgment about what food is good for you and what is bad.

It is important that you take regular moderate exercises. Exercises help you manage diabetes properly. But speak with your physician first, before you start an exercise plan. Get his advice on which exercise suits you and in which intensity and frequency.

Read lots of articles from good sources and be empowered about your condition. Don’t panic. It a condition that can be properly managed. It is important that you maintain a positive attitude. It is possible to have diabetes and lead a normal healthy happy life, if you follow healthy life habits, regarding food, exercises, timely medical check ups etc.

I’ll include two links for you to start with.
