    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).
