I am diabetic 2 patient since 14 years. Recently I started taking organic food, despite regular walking and excercise, my Sugar level hiked from 145 to 167. Is it on account of organic food? Medication is on ( Zoryl-M1 & Janumet 50/500) each after lunch.

Switch to LCHF DIET. Organic will make no difference if you keep eating ADA DIET

plz patliputra don't recommend high starch (carbs) and low fat. it not only increases bs but also disturbs lipids. i reduced carbs and increased saturated fat (peanuts, almonds, coconut, ghee butter, egg) and maintaining bs without medicine, tg also reduced considerably without medicine

Whatever diet you may adopt if you are consuming carbs more than what you can tolerate then you are going to see rise in BS level.

And what drugs or how much INSULIN shots to take on this diet? Have you tried it yourself? What is your A1C and what drugs you take?

It is same as lchf just i want to emphasis on not too much loading of eggs,meat etc to our body. that is all.

When we eat more vegetables our body become more alkaline. The more our body alkeline the more we are disease free. I was an alcoholic and meat eater. when i came to know i left it. Simply vegetables, milk products, nuts, and coconut oil.

The bottom line is limit your carb intake to 100.

REMEBER FOR A DIABETIC PATIENT more than 100gm CARBS KILLS. glucometer itself tell you the result. people have too much money to go to multilaterally hospital and spend lakhs of rupees and get dangerous medicine they can have enough carbs. i have seen D people their kidney damaged..going to dialysis twice a week. just control carb. even if you do not increase fat still it works. the main thing is control carb.

For LCHF diet some call it overeating of fat. :D But it is only replacement of calories. First reduce carbs and then requirement has to be compensated with protein and fat. You are right that one can go with restricted fat with low carb.

I haven't seen a doctor suggesting to restrict carbs. :)

@shrisamarth -- One doesn't overeat FAT as long as one is maintaining calorie intake on LCHF and not gaining weight. The concept of "Overeating Fat" is coined by few who think balanced diet means ADA/WHO/AHA diet. They simply turn a blind eye even to latest research which has now started talking in favor of LCHF :)

As more and more diabetics go on LCHF, these so called researchers will be forced to come out of DENIAL that they are living in and then perhaps they will change the concept of balanced diet. In short, they will just be chasing their own shadow while LCHF diabetics gain good health on far less or nil drugs.

Resistant starch doesn't spike blood sugar as they are handled in gut. All digestible starch will spike blood sugar. Vegan diet means too much reliance on soya for protein and not everyone can take soya. Anyone who says starchy food doesn't spike blood sugar should be eating 300 grams starchy rice and post their numbers along with the drugs that they take and their A1C values.

I definitely recommend a normal, very balanced fully organic diet. However, there is alot of argument on the subject, especially where the source has a large commercial interest.
