THE REQUESTING FOOD FOR DIABETIC PATIENT
Diet plays a very important role in diabetes management.What is required is you should be conscious of what you eat,when you and how much.You may consider some general suggestions given below based on my personal experience:
1.Certain types of foods rich in carbohydrates like potato,rice etc should be eaten moderately,as less as possible. Highly processed foods like sugar and sweets should be avoided.Eat more of vegetables,fruits that are not too sweet(like papaya) and greens.They give you plenty if fiber,vitamins and minerals that protect your health.
2.Maintain regular meal times.Do not miss any meal.Start liking what is good for you and do not be concerned that you have to give up sugar, sweets etc.You should be particularly careful during marriages and festivals.
3.Do not eat too much at each sitting.Eat smaller portions.Understand what is meant by glycemic index and glycemic load.Since you have diabetes,insulin availability is a problem for you.So,by avoiding certain foods and eating in limited quantities,you can manage with available insulin in your body.Gaining knowledge on these matters will greatly help you.
It is not possible to provide a comment as you have not told us if your mother has type1 or type2 diabetes.Different diagnosis, require different types of meals, and food rules.
Every person body and resistance power is different from one to another So no model foods can be considered some one follows heriditary aspects also works in diabities but as per Doctor advise u may follows the strict diet . Example If u like Rice a but some one like only Ragi or wheat Similarly if u like cabbage or califlower some one have alergy on that vegitabales .
So u must ist consider which food or vegitables and fruits or not liked and also not adjustable your body Afterwards except that food u may consult Doctors or dieticians he will give a good diet plan for u
