type 2 diabetes
Re: type 2 diabetes
Dr. Malik,
The diet you are suggesting ignores the 'glycemic' chart completely and, I think is not
practable.
Nuts, meat , chicken, icecream, chocolates are very low in glycemic content and are allowed.
One has to be vary of carbos and starch.

Re: type 2 diabetes
I do not agree with the diet suggestions in the email below, for
Diabetes - type 2 - which I have, and for which i used to need
insulin, as it went undiagnosed fro many years, causing harm.
Diabetes is essentially a condition in which carbohydrates become
toxins to the system, and so the smart way to eat is to reduce them
and to eat more animal protein, with beneficial oils and fats (extra
virgin olive and fish oil) and plenty of high color vegetables other
than roots.
Carbs should be restricted to those times after which one does
exercise to work off the carbs right after eating - before they hit
the blood stream, fat cells and/'or start stringing sticky stuff in
the body to stiffen and damage cell walls.
Cell walls need to be flexible to allow nutrients in and toxins out -
and the pancreas also needs a break so it has a chance to heal.
I disagree.
Nuts for example are excellent snacks for diabetes - and a great way
to wean off sweets and deserts.
I would agree to no sugars or sweeteners of any kind - especially no
artificial sweeteners - but some people need to wean off sugar in
things like coffee and tea. It is not easy or realistic to stop "cold
turkey".
Dark chocolate is another excellent choice for diabetics as a treat.
It is high antioxidant, and lowers blood pressure (a significant
problem in diabetes usually).
Mangoes are an individual issue. For me, half a mango raises my
glucose much less than a serving of broccoli.
To find out an individual's glucose tolerance makes snese to me. I
use a glucometer every 15 minutes after eating a meal IO think is
appropriate, and record glucoise levels to see how longh after a meal
they rise - how high they rise - and when they go back down.
That tells how many grams of carbs a specific person with specific
pancreas damage can eat.
The goal I have is to get and keep blood sugar under 110 (6.1 on
European scale) at all times. This is the level which prevents
further damage. Any blood sugar over 110 does cause damage. The
llonger it is over 110 and the higher it is, the more the damage.
So the person should eat healthily but in a way that keeps glucose
under that level.
In my case when Io was first diagnosed, I could not go near a mango,
nor broccoli nor breaded anything, not even one bite.
So it was hard to devise meals that were appropriate initially. But
that was in 2004 and I used insulin to help me get control.
Gradually, the longer I kept the blood sugar where it belonged, the
easier it was and the more I could eat and still keep it there. I
stopped the insulin after less than a year, tapering its use and
never using more than 4 unite at a time anyway.
After stopping the insulin, then I used diet.
Now, I can eat almost anything I like in moderation.
I am not cured because I am not able to remove the maintaining cause
- so I have to keep watch constantly and I get flare-ups. But in
someone without that issue, the pancreas can recover - or it can be
aided with homeopathy, and diet, to recover.
The secret is to know for the specific person - how THEIR glucose can
be kept below 110 even after eating.
This makes no sense to me at all.
Eggs, fish, meat, and chicken are the mainstay of a good diabetic diet.
For example, the way to avoid pizza is to have omelette with pizza
toppings in it.
Green tea is an excellent help in diabetes, too. Coffee is
individual. It helps some, hurts others.
This will not supply the necessary vitamins and minerals in proper
balance.
There needs to be also green peppers for Vit C, asparagus and
artichoke. Spinach is good, cabbage disagrees with people wit type O
blood. Onions have high sugar and should be eaten in moderation, so
too tomatoes. Spinach, dandelion greens, beet greens, collard greens,
etc should be a mainstay.
Pumpkin is very high carb - a taste maybe. Carrots are way too sugary
to use.
Again the total meal needs to keep the individual under 110. If they
can eat pumpkin and do that fine - else they should rather eat
spinach, asparagus or peppers.
For a great explanation of the damage done and how that happens (and
its prevention) - by glucose over 110 readings - see the excellent
book by diabetes specialist (who had diabetes since childhood and
chose to find a way to get healthy with it) :
Dr Berstein's Diabetes Solution"
For more on what foods are anti-inflammatory - read Dr Nicholas
Perricone's books, starting with The Perricone Prescription.
He's a dermatologist who believes that health starts internally - and
to get good skin requires good internal health - see the shades of
homeopathy principles? (Not the usual allopathic speak - he writes a
lot of sense.)
Namaste,
Irene
