Nutritional Therapy in Diabetes Mellitus

In diabetes diet, proper nutrition plays a vital role. Because diabetes - a disease that are associated with metabolic disorders. If you speak very briefly and simply, diabetes as a result of disruption of the pancreas decreases its production of insulin - the hormone responsible for the uptake of sugar by the body. As a result - increased level of sugar in the blood, which can lead to very unpleasant consequences ...

In today's world there are about 150 million diabetes patients, including 8 million - in Russia. According to forecasts, the figures in 15 years could double.

Proper diet food in diabetes is crucial. To choose the right diet for diabetes, with an easy (and often with moderate) form of type 2 diabetes can be minimized by medication, but if not do without it.

In the first place, and it is unlikely it will be for someone to discovery, diabetes should limit consumption of carbohydrate. This sugar, honey, preserves and jams, candies, pastries and other sweets, sweet fruits and berries: grapes, bananas, raisins, dates. Often there are even recommendations to completely eliminate these foods from the diet, but it is really necessary only in severe diabetes. At the light, and the same medium, subject to regular monitoring of blood sugar levels, eating a small amount of sugar and sweets is quite acceptable.

Not so long ago in a series of studies have found that the progression of diabetes makes a great contribution increased fat in the blood. Therefore, the restriction of use of fatty foods in diabetes is not as important as the restriction of sweets. Total fat, used in the free form and for cooking (butter, vegetable oil, lard, cooking oils) should not exceed 40 grams per day, you also need to limit consumption of other foods containing large amounts of fat (fatty meats, sausages, sausages, salami, cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise).

You also need to severely limit or, better not eat fried, spicy, salty, spicy and smoked food, canned food, pepper, mustard and alcoholic beverages.

And it is really not good for diabetes products containing both high in fat and carbohydrates: chocolate, ice cream, cream cakes ... Here are their best to exclude from your diet completely.

Bread - up to 200 grams per day, preferably black or a special diabetic. Soups, mostly vegetables. Soups, cooked over low meat or fish broth can be eaten no more frequently than twice a week.  Lean meat, poultry (up to 100 grams per day) or fish (up to 150 grams per day) in boiled or jellied form. Dishes and side dishes from cereals, legumes, pasta, you can afford now and then, in small quantities, reducing these days the consumption of bread. Of cereals is better to eat oatmeal and buckwheat, are admissible as millet, barley, rice cereal. But it is advisable not semolina. Vegetables and herbs. Potatoes, beets, carrots recommended to drink no more than 200 grams per day. But other vegetables (cabbage, lettuce, radishes, cucumbers, zucchini, tomatoes) and herbs (except spicy) can be used with virtually no restrictions on raw and cooked, and sometimes - in the liver. Eggs - no more than 2 pieces a day: boiled, in the form of an omelette or using for cooking other dishes.  Fruits and berries, sour and sour-sweet varieties (apples Antonovka, oranges, lemons, cranberries, red currants ...) - up to 200-300 grams a day.
    
Milk - a doctor's permission. Milk products (kefir, yogurt, unsweetened yogurt) - 1-2 cups per day. Cheese, sour cream, cream - and occasionally a little bit. Curd with diabetes is recommended to drink daily, up to 100-200 grams per day in kind or in the form curd pancake, cheese cakes, puddings, casseroles. Cottage cheese, as well as oats and buckwheat porridge, bran, rose hips improves fat metabolism and normalize liver function, prevent fatty liver changes.  Drinks. Resolved a green or black tea can with milk, weak coffee, tomato juice, juice from the berries and fruit acid varieties.

  1. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
