Learning is one of the biggest stumbling blocks we have with eating and diabetes.
By learning when you should eat, how much you need to eat and what to eat, you can take excellent care of yourself. When making food choices, choose wisely so that you can lose unnecessary weight, lower you risk of diabetes complications and even feel good from day to day.
Our goal with diabetes is to keep our blood glucose levels at healthy levels and to prevent damage to our body caused by those unhealthy levels of glucose, cholesterol and blood pressures. This can be maintained with good eating and physical activity habits along with proper medications if prescribed by your health care professional.
When taking diabetes medications, it is best to follow schedules for physical activity, meals and snacks. Some medications allow for flexible schedules while others do not. Discuss your diet and medication routines with your doctor.
The risk of developing heart disease is two times that in people who have diabetes than in people who do not. High cholesterol levels raise that risk. Lowering the amounts of saturated fats and cholesterol and maintaining optimal body weight can help lower cholesterol levels in the blood and reduce your risk of heart disease. Eating and Diabetes definitely go hand in hand here.
With you doctors help and with monitoring results:
- Determine how many times you need to eat per day
- Determine how many snacks you can eat per day
- Determine your physical activity levels required to maintain
Remember that conditions can change as time goes by, never stop monitoring and never stop working with your health care professionals. Keep up with your diet and diabetes plans and follow them with care.
It is your life and you should make it as comfortable and as productive as you can. You can always take medications, but there is no substitute for self care.

This article was very informative. I have always had many myths about diabetes and some were shattered after reading this blog. My uncle suffers from diabetes, i have seen him go through a lot but never really dug deep into what diabetes meant.
I am glad to see that my writing has made you think about diabetes. it means a lot. It is very important to me we teach everyone about diabetes, not just those that have it. knowledge goes a long way in prevention.

My Mother has diabetes and has not been told that much about what she should and should not be eating. She has had it for a few years and now has heart problems. I am hoping that she will soon get a good diet and exercise plan and be able to get herself healthy again.
