Happy Bengali new year to all. My husband 54, a teacher, while going for a routine blood sugar test was scared to find that fasting sugar level was 126 and two hours after meal it was 171. Further investigations revealed that there was fatty infiltration in liver and it was enlarged in size too. The Triglyceride level was 337 and blood uric acid 6.8. His blood pressure was 145/90.
Now the problem is this that the doc has told him to restrict diet, prescribed Metformin 500SR BD, Rosuvastatin and Febustat OD. What should be his diet for proper nutrition as everything is restricted. He is reluctant to take anything too out of sheer apprehension. But if this continues I think, he will become severely weak.
We are from Bengal. Suggest a prolific diet chart that he can take regularly.

I do not conform to the idea of high fat. As such there is no diet plan . Each individual must find its own diet plan with certain restrictions. There is no controversy over diet which envisages reduced carbohtdrates and refined flour plenty of vegetables and sprouts. Of course no sugar and its products and its substitute. Non veg may be added as per desire. So let the incumbent devise his own diet plan. If he needs any help and guidance , we are all here to help him out.
The diet is not universal to every person and depending on gender body resistance power and age factors and mainly coming from generation of our food. so even ADA/WHO /FDA may not given diabetic for special diet plan
there are veg and non veg varieties of persons so all the person must work out their diet plan at least 15 days continuous with glucometer testing before breakfast and after breakfast. If any of the item seems to be high blood sugar spikes skip it or try with small quantity .
if followed this for 15 days You have the idea which food may not increased blood sugar level or Not?
this forum has most of members followed LCHF and LW /LWMDR and ADA/WHO guideline followed for their diet.
So the members may try theirbest diet plan but aim is toeep the blood sugar level in the normal way.
Madhu 65 please search my profile posting as My fiet plan7-7-2015and alsoShashikanth iyengar posting which may help and Pataliputra also given diet plan shortly
The following is something I found on Dr.Fungs site, whom I am following and have reduced my BS from FBS 350 and PBBS 450 to today 90 and 110 without medicines and without going to any doctor. As Dr.Fung has said in the video that Mike posted, follow also intermittent fasting and you will not need medicines anymore. Read some of the blogs too.

I'm really awed by your achievement-- esp. bringing down the fasting blood sugar. Would you please elaborate how you achieved fasting blood sugar control? My fasting blood sugar is 140-195 despite my sincere efforts. Your guidance will help me a lot.
I am not following long wheat diet. But I do know that it takes much longer to reduce fbs than pbbs because of liver dumping sugar. You will have to wait it out till your liver gets empty again and for that the best what I believe is intermittent fasting. I started with 16 hrs fast and then progressed to 24 and then 36 hrs fasts. Then my sugar went below 100 fbs but still it fluctuates sometimes when I'm negligent like on Sunday's
Please go through my successful experiments on curing diabetes and high cholesterol. don't take statin drugs, they are harmful for heart as well as whole body. use lifestyle changes as elaborated in my article
Sorry for replying late dear jingale. the measures are simple. reduce carb, reduce total calories, use good fat such as Omega 3 and MUFA. avoid, trans fats and saturated fat, reduce PUFA. Be physically active to consume as much calories you eat. Do yoga. take lot of vegetables to fill up your stomach. Reduce or avoid grains. Do not depend on packaged processed food. This was all which I followed to reverse diabetes.
Thanks for responding, and congrats on reversing your diabetes. Cure and reversal mean different things, and one should avoid using them interchangeably.
Like in Jaundice when you give your Liver rest by consuming low fat food, so in Diabetes, you need to heal your Pancreas by eating a diet like Long Wheat Mash Diet Regimen (LWMDR). I reduced my blood sugar this way and so did many others. Just diet won't help. You need to heal the Pancreas too. Please follow healthunlocked.com/user/sho...
who pioneered the LWMDR, an old ayurvedic regimen and you can read my old posts too for more information.
You can begin here. Read this thoroughly before starting on the LWMDR: bit.ly/1OaKGKi
