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.

Please talk with a registered dietician (R.D.) about the proper nutritents to consume. Some RD’s are also called Certified Diabetes Educators (CDE) and are experts, in a sense, on the proper nutrition for someone with diabetes. You may be able to find such a dietician at your local hospital. My father has Type I diabetes (now uses an insulin pump) which used to be referred to as juvenile diabetes and along with keeping a close watch on his dietary intake, and checking his blood sugar 4x a day per his endrocrinologist (dr. who specializes in those with metabolic disorders including diabetes), he keeps excellent records of his blood sugar each day as well as his insulin needs for when he has to go to the dr.

Your doctor can usually have made available to you a nutritionist or other program to meet your individual needs and advise on diet and losing weight..It would be unwise to direct you here, not knowing your individual needs, and medical history.. etc.
I am diabetic .. I learned a lot going.. Just ask your doctor.. many programs are free / covered by your insurance. Some counties have programs you can attend as well.
i was surprised at what i can eat, i thought could never have again.. i use splenda instead of regular sugar.. Exercise, and doing it right by following proper guidelines is important.. and get the stress off.. that has been the biggest challenge for me… It affects so many areas of ones life with diabetes i have found out.
It isn’t all bad news.. it is life changes.. But, by following the advise of your doctor , you’ll have a far better out look on life than thought it would be at first.
If you don’t get the support you feel need with your doctor, get another doctor…
good luck..

A lot of hospitals have programs, some free, for newly diagnosed diabetics. Being newly diagnosed myself, a year ago, I can say it’s not something to take lightly, but it isn’t something to fear either. Just watch what you eat and listen to your doctor. The way my diabetic nurse put it to me, "This is a nudge in your ribs, telling to to take better care of yourself" Just do what the doctor says and you’ll not only be heathier but you’ll feel better too. Good Luck.
