Diabetes Control With Proper Diet

by Tehmina Mazher

You are not alone if you have just been diagnosed with diabetes. No one, of course, welcomes that news. The good news is that you can control diabetes for a long time, and possibly even remove its potentially harmful effects by acting immediately.

There are a number of factors concerning diabetes, and the main one may be where you are now in relation to diabetes? If you are at an early stage, and if your doctor believes that you can willingly control your diet, then you may be able to control your diabetes without drugs.

A piece of good news, however, is that if an overweight individual is diagnosed with pre-diabetes, then he or she could reduce that risk simply by losing the excess weight. This also shows that there is a direct correlation between the two. Diabetes can often be pushed back a number of years simply by doing this. In some cases, it may even be completely avoided. It usually takes losing about 7% of your body weight on average, to have this effect. Some may require more, but any weight loss for an overweight person is a move toward better health in the long run.

Once you have created your diet plan, and have calculated in the right amount of calories, you will need to stick to the plan. The reason for this is to regulate your blood sugar levels and keep them as even as possible. This means that it will be important for you to eat everything on your plan at each meal and at the snack times, too. The thing that you do not want is to have your blood sugar levels get too high or too low. Remember that both could be harmful.

Diabetes is not something to play with, but rather something to defeat before it ever comes. Getting started right away can help you avoid the problems that are associated with diabetes.
