Since my diagnosis with diabetes at the age of eleven, my own diet has changed dramatically. I maintain my
current healthy weight with a great diet/eating plan. If you do plan on losing more than about a stone in weight
then I would visit your doctor for more tips on how to do this without risk.
I’ve had diabetes for seven years now, but to tell you that how I maintain weight is perfect would be totally
wrong of me. However, I can advise you to follow my steps because I know what works and what doesn’t. Before I
really begin I must also say that I have been brought up by great parents who taught me to eat everything, and so
I do! If there is something that you don’t like, there are loads of other diabetic recipes and ideas that you
will eat and appreciate.
Diabetes is a chronic condition in which the body doesn’t produce or properly use insulin, a hormone needed to
convert glucose into energy. Since over time the high blood sugar levels associated with diabetes-the nation’s
fifth-leading cause of death by disease-can lead to complications of the eyes, blood vessels, nerves, kidneys and
other organs, anything that would ease the typical daily regimen of insulin injections and the like would be most
welcome by patients.
According to experts at the Mayo Clinic, that “simplification” is exactly what’s happening. The Food & Drug
Administration, for example, is in the process of approving both insulin patches and inhalants as alternative
delivery methods to insulin injections. Breakthroughs in blood glucose monitoring that would allow continuous
testing throughout the day are currently in development. See complete video here now:

2. Tip 1
• 1. Cut back on snacks and then change the type of snacks you
eat.
Certainly my biggest downfall although it wasn’t really apparent to
me. When I first started at University, I had little or no routine
which meant that filling my day was difficult and popping into
the kitchen for a snack, no matter how healthy it felt, was a
regular occurrence. This is one of the hardest things to do for
some people, but establishing a great routine is essential to
great diabetes care. The types of snacks to be eating are
unsalted nuts, dried unsweetened fruit, fresh fruit, fresh
vegetables (I love fresh red pepper and cucumber), dark
chocolate (richer and nicer and you only want 2 squares
usually).
3. Tip 2
• 2. Cut back on white flour and embrace wholemeal carbs.
• This is the most essential part of your diet, and the thing that can show
the biggest increase in loss of weight. Some diets in fact jsut focus on this
point, and are very successful. Wholemeal (especially stoneground
wholemeal) is so good for you and has so much more flavour in it that
switching is much easier than you think.
4. Tip 3
• 3. Stop drinking cocktails, start drinking wine.
• Cocktails are full of sugar, colourants and
preservatives. As a student I have had loads of
practice at going out and not drinking
cocktails, so my drink of choice is Malibu and
Diet Coke if I feel I have to drink something
and I make it last all night.
5. Tip 4
• 4. Start cooking more fruit and vegetables.
• Fresh fruit and vegetables are a great way to get all
the vitamins and minerals you need. And there are
so many different ways in which to cook vegetables,
but I find that raw is the best followed closely by
steamed. Both of these ways preserve all their
natural goodness as well. I will follow this post with
another diabetes treatmentrecipes post.
6. Tip 5
• 5. Drink more water.
• I know you have heard people say this many times before, but the
benefits of drinking more water are endless. A few tips on how to get
more water into your day are firstly to put bottles of water at all the
places you go in the house or work. So keep one in your desk, on your
desk, a glass in the kitchen, the bedroom, the sitting room, etc. Try and
drink all these glasses up and you will be well on your way to 8 glasses a
day. The trick is to add a glass every few days or so, if you try to drink all
that water in one go you won’t be so inclined to drink 8 glasses again,
trust me! Have a go, it’s amazing how great you will feel.
