Study Notes
Diabetic Diet
- Diabetes is a condition marked by high blood glucose levels.
- Type 1 diabetes involves insufficient insulin production by the body.
- Type 2 diabetes involves resistance to insulin action, often due to excess body fat.
- High blood glucose leads to complications like nephropathy, retinopathy, coronary heart disease, and stroke.
- Diabetic diets are crucial for health management, but should not be seen as strictly restrictive.
Dietary Management
- Eating regularly helps control hunger and prevent overeating.
- Limit carbohydrate intake.
- Choose complex carbohydrates with low glycemic index (GI).
- Avoid refined sugars (sugar, sweets, cakes, biscuits, sweetened drinks, etc.).
- Increase protein intake (egg white, pulses, milk, etc.).
- Prioritize unsaturated fats (vegetable oils).
- Consume fruits and vegetables for micronutrients.
Precautions
- Limit saturated fats.
- Choose non-fat or low-fat dairy products.
- Opt for lean meats.
- Avoid butter, cheese, and other saturated fats.
- Limit deep-fried foods, margarine, cookies, and other bakery products (high in hidden oils/trans fats).
