Transcript:
For people living with diabetes and for those trying to prevent Type 2 Diabetes healthy eating is important for controlling blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol. It’s also really critical for losing and maintaining a healthy weight.
When you have diabetes, your family members can eat the same food that you’re eating and benefit from it because they are at higher risk for developing Type 2 Diabetes themselves.
Maintaining a healthy weight for a person living with diabetes is critical to manage blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol, and to prevent complications such as heart disease and stroke. A target blood sugar range for a person living with diabetes would be 70 to 130 before meals and 180 two hours after a meal.
But the best thing is to check with your healthcare team about a target range that’s good for
you. For a person who is trying to control their blood sugars, carbohydrates that they eat have the biggest impact on the blood sugar. So knowing how many carbs you’re eating helps you keep your blood sugar in a good range. Carbohydrates are found in fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy products — more places than you expect. A dietician can really help you count carbohydrates and find the foods that contain them.
Since so many foods contain carbohydrates and you’re trying to get the number down to a level that helps your blood sugar, a dietician will help you balance all of that.
Eating a healthier diet actually makes you feel much better in addition to having better blood sugars. For a person living with diabetes or trying to prevent diabetes and maintain a healthy
weight, these foods can really help: lean sources of protein like chicken or fish; whole grain foods — crackers, cereal; vegetables, especially those that grow above the ground and the kind you put in
salads; eating whole fruits in place of drinking juices and using low-fat and non-fat dairy products like milk and yogurt.
If making big changes in the way you eat seems overwhelming, think about small steps and try to find a quick win.
One thing you can do to help you control your portions is you eat using a nine-inch plate. If you divide that plate in half and fill it with vegetables and fruits that leaves you room on the other half for a quarter of the plate to be meat, probably about the size of a deck of cards or three ounces and a quarter of the plate to be starch, grains, or potatoes or bread. Try to eat your meals and snacks at the same time each day and that way you won’t get too hungry at any one time which could lead to overeating.
Take time when you’re eating. Chew your food slowly and enjoy it. Give your brain a chance to know that your stomach is full.
When it comes to seasoning your food use herbs and spices. Leave the salt and butter on the side.
Make a list when you go shopping and stick with it. Don’t go shopping when you’re hungry because
that can lead you to some poor choices. Bring your lunch to work instead of eating out. This will help you control your portions and avoid overeating like you would in a restaurant.
When you’re cooking at home, wrap up and put away your leftovers promptly. This way you won’t be tempted to go back for seconds. And think about stir-fries; they’re a great way for you to boost your vegetables and cut back on meat, plus they actually make very good leftovers.

People fall off-track all the time when they try and eat a healthier diet. It’s normal. Don’t get upset about it. Just try to get back on-track soon after you fall off so you don’t get totally derailed.
It’s normal to get discouraged periodically. Think about talking to a dietician. They can help you tailor these diet recommendations to fit your needs and come up with a plan that’s easier for you to follow. For a person living with diabetes there are no special foods you need to buy.
There are no foods you need to avoid entirely. With portion control and meal planning, even
with diabetes, you can really enjoy eating.

What a lot of common else this lady speaks.
My daughter drinks lots of water and urinates with the same rate, there are no other symptoms to show if those have anything to do with diabetes. This is a good information that I have gone through Diabets.Care She is 2 years 9 months, hale and healthy, have not done any blood test. But I am not certain if one can get diabetes at such a tender age. Please I will like to know more on that
just assumption:
There is a balanced relationship between nature and man.
This balance should produce healthy results.
It is necessary to understand the balance between nature and man correctly.
If you eat raw fat, the raw fat in your body will melt and disappear.
(cold pressed vegetable oils and raw butter)
If you eat sugary fruits, your blood sugar will go down.
(The sweeter the fruit, the better.)
Real raw honey can lower blood sugar.
Refined sugar is poison.
Refined sugar is a foreign, unidentified substance to the body.
Do not eat refined sugar.
Refined sugar is not found in nature.
Refined foods are not part of nature.
Refined foods disrupt the balance between nature and humans.
Refined foods upset people's balance.
What I do is "Brainstorm".
I am generating ideas so that we can understand the relationship between nature and humans correctly.
My type 2 Diabetes came to an end after using the natural herbs medication I got from Dr IGUDIA on his YouTube channel. I will forever thank you sir.
I don't have a kitchen to cook so I'm always going out to eat – what are some good choices within the fast food industry?

I'm finally free from this so called Diabetes disease with the help of Dr IGUDIA on YouTube after using his herbs medication.

When I was first diagnosed as a Type 2 diabetic I was referred to a diabetes nutritionist. By that time I had time to research what healthy eating was for a diabetic so I knew some about it. The nutritionist was very little help to me. I only saw her once. If I had followed her advice I would still be on insulin. As it was I got off from it the second month after being diagnosed. I saw an Endocrinologist twice and the second time he told me I didn’t need to come back. I continue to monitor my glucose and eat accordingly. I do not feel deprived but I do watch my carb intake.
Wonderful herbs from the herbs master Dr Olojo on YouTube, He has saved so many lives from the following treatment.
Herpes
Diabetes
Typhoid
And many others with his wonderful and powerful natural medicine.
Dr Olojo herbal home.
Healthy eating for diabeties and the first food they show is CEREAL lol. And then the plate of food with the driest low fat piece of meat I ever saw, with CARBS. No wonder people are sick. You need healthy animal fats like whole eggs, fatty fish, grass fed meats, seafoods, butter. These people don't know truely what causes or how to truly cure diabeties. It started in the early 1900's when people started to eat Crisco (hydrogenated cottonseed oil) and then other seed oil consumption went up and up and up.. and so did Diabeties, Heart Disease, Cancer and Obesity. Remove all vegetable oils, and eat when people ate before disease started.
I recommend Only Dr IGUDIA on his YouTube channel for diabetes disease cure because I have used his herbs products and it cures mine
are these guesses?any study?
130 fasting is good??? Thanks! Now I can show my doctor I am not pre-diabetic!
That salad is sad…. what I don't understand is why you're pushing chicken and dairy? Refined carbs are bad not all carbs you need to give the right information that's why everyone's so confused
She's talking about the right food to eat and what not to eat and she says that yogurt's okay well yogurt has one of the highest contents of sugar
ice and informative video,my grandfather was suffering from type2 diabetes, took allopathic treatment for 1 year, then
they came towards Ayurveda and took treatment from planet Ayurveda and they are very happy with the results.
