Treatment of Diabetes with Diet

Diabetic nutritional strategy guide

Below are the most important guidelines you should follow in a diabetic diet:

• Carbohydrate Management: Carbohydrates are the most important macronutrient in the diabetic diet. Carbohydrates should make up about 45 to 55 percent of a diabetic patient's daily energy intake. The number of carbohydrates in each meal and snack should be consumed in a specific amount and it depends on the type of diabetes and the type of medicine that you use.

• Low Glycemic Index Foods: The nutritionist recommended using low glycemic index (GI) foods in the diabetic diet plan to control blood sugar.

• Fiber-Rich Foods: Consumption of fiber-rich food in the diabetic diet plan is recommended and you should eat at least 20 to 35 grams per day. Vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, etc. are the best source of fiber. Eat enough vegetables in your diabetic diet. It is better to eat fresh vegetables instead of frozen ones. Replace refined grain with whole grain.

• Protein Content: The diabetic diet's protein content is arranged in the same way as the diet of normal people. It makes up 15 to 20% of a person's daily energy requirements. Be careful about plant source protein like beans, chickpea, lentils and etc., because they have carbohydrates, and you should count carbohydrate content of them.

• Restrict Trans Fatty Acids: In the diabetic diet plan, just like other people, trans fatty acids can cause cardiovascular disease and gene mutations in the patient, so you should restrict fried foods, processed foods, chips, hydrogenated vegetable oils, etc. in your diet plan.

• Mineral Supplementation: Chromium supplementation in patients with chromium deficiency can help improve their blood sugar levels. Zinc deficiency in these patients is possible. High or low levels of zinc in the body can affect insulin secretion in a diabetic patient so you should consult with your doctor to use a zinc supplement.

• Regular Meal Timing: Your diabetic diet should be regular, and you should eat your meals at certain times, Avoid skipping or moving meals without consulting your dietitian.

• Hypoglycemia Management: When hypoglycemia happens, which is accompanied by symptoms of seizures, cold sweats, tremors, blurred vision, weakness and lethargy, and heart palpitations, use a small candy, chocolate, sugar syrup, or half a glass of natural fruit juice.

• Foods to Avoid: You should not eat foods high in sodium, high in cholesterol, and simple carbs in the diabetic diet.
