1. DIABETES AND ITS DIET
MANAGEMENT PLAN

2. WHAT IS DIABETES :-
Diabetes mellitus, commonly known as diabetes, is a group
of common endocrine diseases characterized by sustained
high blood sugar levels. Diabetes is due to either the
pancreas not producing enough of the hormone insulin, or
the cells of the body becoming unresponsive to insulin's
effects.

3. SYMPTOMS OF DIABETES
• Feeling more thirsty than usual.
• Urinating often.
• Losing weight without trying.
• Presence of ketones in the urine. Ketones are a byproduct of the
breakdown of muscle and fat that happens when there's not enough
available insulin.
• Feeling tired and weak.

4. • Feeling irritable or having other mood changes.
• Having blurry vision.
• Having slow-healing sores.
• Getting a lot of infections, such as gum, skin and vaginal
infections.

5. DIABETES DIET
A diabetes diet focuses on managing blood sugar levels
through healthy eating habits, emphasizing portion control,
and choosing nutrient-rich foods. It involves a balanced
approach with plenty of non-starchy vegetables, lean
proteins, and whole grains, while limiting added sugars,
refined carbohydrates, and unhealthy fats.

6. MEAL PATTERN HIGHLIGHTS:
• Plant-based foods (vegetables, beans, nuts and seeds, fruits, and whole grains)
• Fish and other seafood
• Olive oil as the main source of dietary fat
• Dairy products (mainly yogurt and cheese) in low to moderate amounts
• Fewer than four eggs/week
• Red meat in low frequency and amounts
• Wine in low to moderate amounts
• Concentrated sugars or honey rarely

8. KEY NUTRIENTS FOR A DIABETIC PATIENT
Carbohydrates affect blood sugar more than any other nutrient.
However, not all carbs are the same. Carbs include other types of
food, like complex carbohydrates found in whole grains, legumes,
and some vegetables (fiber).They are slowly digested, leading to a
gradual sugar spike. Common sources are simple carbohydrates
(bad carbs), such as white bread, sugary snacks, or soft drinks, which
can rapidly spike blood sugar.

9. Protein is important for tissue growth.They also
provide energy and repair muscles, which keeps you
satisfied longer. Proteins (as a group) don't increase
blood sugar aggressively. However, carbohydrates can
help moderate blood glucose levels.

10. FATS
Fats are necessary for overall health, and you
must select the appropriate fats. Good fats are the
monounsaturated and polyunsaturated types
found in nuts, seeds, avocados, and fatty fish.

11. VITAMINS AND MINERALS
Vitamins and Minerals are important in
diabetes control. Diabetics especially need
chromium, magnesium, vitamin D, and B-
complex.
