There is is no such thing as an ideal diet for a diabetic.What we have to be aware of is how much we are eating,what we are eating and when.The quantity we eat should match closely with the level of our physical activity.That means,the calories we consume in a day should be spent without any carry forward to the next day.You can control your weight or even reduce it and weight is an important factor in diabetes management.What you eat is equally important.As a diadiabetic,we are short of insulin.So,avoid or reduce those foods that demand insulin for metabolizing.Avoid sugar and sweets to a large extent or totally.Reduce intake of carbohydrate rich foods like rice,wheat,potato and grains.Increase vegetables,greens,mushrooms,boiled sprouts,fish,chicken,eggs etc that do not demand insulin but give you valuable nutrients,fiber and vitamins.Lastly,keep each meal portion smaller but you can have more number of meals.Avoid heavy meals.Coupled with regular exercise like walking for at least 40 minutes daily,this kind of diet control will help you to manage your diabetes successfully.

Yes Diabetes Mellitus (DM) can be regressed/retarded & finally stopped. Follow the Long Wheat Mash Diet Regimen - treatment for permanent cure. It cured my diabetes in 2009.

I was diabetic only for three years from 2006. Lab results are published in the Web Article. More than 28,000 people have read it.

Just search Long Wheat in Google; my article will come as the FIRST one out of 116,000,000 results!!(As on 5Aug2013)

Long Wheat Mash Diet Regimen (LWMDR) Modus operandi

In order to obtain initial conditions, get FBS, PPBS & HbA1C tests done before hand.

1. Facilitate required (optimum-NOT maximum) rest to pancreas by TOTALLY AVOIDING sweet intake; avoid fruits as well till getting CURED.

2. Substitute break fast and dinner by long-wheat kanji (porridge/mash) with a pinch of salt as required and curries (hot/sour side dishes - with no sweet). Continue lunch as it is (with oil, fat, potato, tapioca & sweet restrictions). Take all the three meals stomach full.

3. Reduce food intake frequency by postponing &/or combining and filling the gaps with plain water. May eat or drink more if number of intakes is three (3) or less including refreshments (snacks, tea, coffee, cool drinks etc.) in a day. Reduce oil & fat intake.

4. Brisk, medium or at least normal walk preferably for an hour daily.

Caution

1. Buy & use only unbroken long-wheat lest you should be cheated.

2. If blood sugar does not start decreasing in a month, avoid smoking & liquor if you are in the habit of having them.

3. Monitor blood sugar regularly - PPBS weekly, FBS at least monthly and HbA1C quarterly.

4. If already on tab. or insulin inj. one must continue those & monitor blood sugar MORE FREQUENTLY, preferably daily, at least FOR A WEEK. Else one may slip into low blood sugar problem (hypoglycaemia?).

Neglecting any of the above eight points (four of modus operandi and four of caution) is similar to removing one of the legs of a table.

As you approach CURE, progress will be slower.
