Diabetes doesn't have to be a burden. You can control it effectively by targeting its root cause.

High blood sugar levels are brought on by a metabolic disorder called diabetes. The hormone insulin, generated by the body, transports glucose from the blood to the cells. Our regular activities utilize this sugar as energy. Diabetes results from either a failure of the body to produce enough insulin or a failure to use the insulin produced. Uncontrolled blood sugar levels can harm the eyes, kidneys, and other organs. Diabetes is classified into the following types:

  • Diabetes type 1 is an autoimmune illness. The immune system damages pancreatic cells in this kind of Diabetes.
  • Type 2 diabetes develops as your body acquires insulin resistance and your blood sugar levels rise. In the world, India has the second-largest number of people suffering from type 2 diabetes.
  • Gestational Diabetes is a disorder characterized by elevated blood sugar levels during pregnancy. This kind of Diabetes is caused by placental hormones that inhibit insulin.
  • According to Dr. Shweta Shah Panchal, the prominent and exact reason behind having a diabetic condition is still unknown. Diabetes is a most common disorder but it remains uncommon because not many people think of its reversal. A few factors contributing to the disease are as follows-

  • Environmental factors
  • Genetic factors
  • Lifestyle

How do we understand diabetes at Diet Therapy?

Dietary and lifestyle management of diabetes is the best way to deal with diabetes at an early stage. Diabetes cannot be cured with a single or magical diet, since everyone's body responds differently to different foods. In order to achieve optimal results, vegetables, protein, and carbohydrates must be balanced without counting, calculating, weighing, or measuring.

Including a lot of non-starchy vegetables, minimizing added sugars and refined grains, and choosing whole, minimally processed foods are the best options to reverse the condition. Following different eating patterns to manage diabetes that works best for you and your treatment goals is what we focussed here at Diet Therapy.

Diabetes and diet go hand in hand. Diabetes, to a large extent, can be controlled by a healthy lifestyle and clean eating. However, diet enhancement may be enough to manage the disease in some milder cases.

  • Diet for Types 1 diabetes

    The best dieticians for diabetes recommend eating a low-carb diet to balance the crab and insulin. Maintaining a food journal, as recommended by the diabetes control program, is an effective way to check carbohydrate consumption.

  • Diet for Type 2 diabetes
  • Emphasis should be laid on nutritious foods rather than on carbohydrate-rich food items. Food groups like fruits and vegetables are a must to eat. Whole grains and lean Protein can keep you at normal sugar levels if consumed properly. Also, include healthy fats like nuts and vegetable oils instead of refined oils as suggested by the best dietician for diabetes worldwide.

  • Diet for Gestational diabetes

    According to the diabetes control program, the prescribed diet of the mother should be limited to sugar intake and salt intake. Watching the portion size is beneficial for both weight and diabetes control. Although sugar is essential for the baby's growth, gestational diabetes can be tricky if food is not subscribed to or managed by the dietary management of diabetes.

Diagnosis of diabetes at Diet Therapy

Diabetes, if diagnosed early, can be controlled and taken care of. Prolonged diabetes can not only affect your eyes but can also increase heart risks and kidney failure risks. Regular blood tests like The fasting plasma glucose (FPG) test can help diagnose the condition. It can detect gestational diabetes in the second trimester with the help of regular checkups. If there are slight symptoms, then running a few tests to confirm the condition is a good idea.
