Non vegiterian sir.

No problem sir. I can follow veg or non- veg

[Praveen55 Moderator in reply to guravaiah]

Hi guravaiah,

Thanks for the information. I read your last post and noted that your blood sugar levels are very high despite medication and insulin(?). how is your blood sugar now? Also, I note that you are severely underweight. At your age(30) and diabetic since the age of 22, I am a little bit concerned and would like to confirm that your diagnosis has been done correctly. have you been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes?

My suspicion based on your age, weight and not responding properly (blood sugar level not being controlled) with oral medications is that you may have severe insulin deficiency (LADA, also called Type 1.5 diabetes).

The diets which you have been following as per the last post are totally insufficient. I will suggest you a more healthy and satisfying diet in few minutes. Meanwhile, may I request you to answer/comment on the points I raised above.

Sir last week I had taken blood test the reports are FBS 160 and pfbs 140 . I'm changing my diet plan according to the previous posts . Now I'm following lchf in breakfast . Taking ragi malt 250 ml morning 8:30 a.m after that 10:30 taking 2 egg whites and 6 almonds .

Afternoon 1 ragi ball ( 150 gms) with vegetables and evening 1 cup tea and night 2 chaptis and 1 cup curd rice.

Can you suggest a better diet plan sir?

[Praveen55 Moderator in reply to guravaiah]

What are ragi ball and ragi malt?

[guravaiah in reply to Praveen55]

Ragi means finger millet in English .

[guravaiah in reply to Praveen55]

Ragi malt means we add milk with finger millet flour and add salt

[ramana42 Volunteer in reply to guravaiah]

Ragi has high glycemic index.You are having it twice a day.Try some other diet with lower glycemic index.Search on net to find suitable alternatives.

[guravaiah in reply to ramana42]

Thank you sir . I will find alternative

[guravaiah]

[guravaiah in reply to guravaiah]

Ragi ball means we add ragi flour with rice . Ragi malt and ragi ball are the South Indian famous food .

[guravaiah in reply to guravaiah]

250 ml ragi malt contains 19gms of carbs sir

I have not taken a1c test this month . Last month it was 13.1 sir . So that I have changed my diet plan from the forum experts suggestions. In that what I have available in my city that only I will follow sir . In the forum I have searched lchf diet there is no full details .

[Praveen55 Moderator in reply to guravaiah]

guravaiah,

It may be more than the diet. Please get examined for other conditions like LADA urgently. Your symptoms are very much like those of LADA.

[guravaiah in reply to Praveen55]

Ok sir . Thanks for your valuable time spending on me .

[Praveen55 Moderator in reply to guravaiah]

Absolutely no problem.

[Praveen55 Moderator in reply to guravaiah]

You need not take the A1c test every month. It is to be taken once every three months. Aic gives the average blood sugar of the previous three months.

[Praveen55 Moderator]

OK, here is my simple lchf diet plan. It is non-vegetarian and to be eaten without any guilt.

It is called M.E.A.L

M > Meat > Chicken/Mutton/Fish(fatty ones like Salmon)

E > Eggs ( in whole, no white only).

A > Added Fat > Olive oil, Butter/Ghee, Coconut, Cheese, Full fat cream and yoghurt, Walnuts, Almond.

L > Low carbs Vegetables grown above ground e.g. Lettuce, Spinach, Cucumber, Green beans, Olives, Peppers, Cabbage, Cauliflowers, Broccoli, Okra(Bhindi), Bitter gourd( Karela), Avacado, tomatoes, Mushrooms and any locally grown vegetables (above ground only).

The typical one-day menu may look like this:

BREAKFAST:

2 or three eggs omelette and Cheese + Green veg salad ( select from L > above)

TEA/COFFEE without sugar, add double cream in place of milk.

LUNCH:

Chicken kabab along with mushrooms, green peppers and like.

Green veg salad

Tea/ coffee if required

DiNNER:

Salmon with gravy made with double cream and spices.

Side Vegetable of your choice

SWEET:

Desiccated Coconut cooked in whole milk until paste-like thick. No added sugar. Up to two tablespoons.

I do not take any grains. If you cannot live without chapati, you can add one or two medium size chapatis. Eat until stomach full without any guilt.

ENJOY LIFE AND FOOD. KEEP WORRIES AWAY.

[guravaiah in reply to Praveen55]

Thank you so much sir . I will follow your M.E.A.L plan.

[Praveen55 Moderator in reply to guravaiah]

Also drink 6/8 glasses of water daily.

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to guravaiah]

guravaiah ,

Please check with your doctor before you start/change your diet. Not everything is going to work the same way for everyone.

[guravaiah in reply to Activity2004]

Ok sir

[ramana42 Volunteer in reply to guravaiah]

As per my experience,no doctor will give consent for such a diet change.They say no to even 15 gr of cheese or an egg a day.

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to ramana42]

It depends on how controlled the patient is with their medications and diabetes, ramana42 . I have asked my Endocrinologist about going on the LCHF/LCHP diets and he was okay with the high protein diet plan.

[ramana42 Volunteer in reply to Activity2004]

I am not a believer in any speciality diets.I do have a traditional diet at home,which can and should be modified and adapted as situation demands.Understanding my own dietary requirements is fundamental and such understanding alone should guide me in my dietary habits.

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to ramana42]

That’s understandable. Everyone can do what is best for themselves, but also be careful at the same time, ramana42. No one is disagreeing about it.

[ramana42 Volunteer in reply to Activity2004]

Thank you!

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to ramana42]

You’re welcome!😀 Happy Holidays!

Take go Mitra arc to control diabetic

[guravaiah in reply to Saireddy]

Sir What is go mitra arc. I don't understand.

[guravaiah]

3 spoons of flour (80gms) and 150 ml of toned milk and 1 spoon of salt and add some water and stir it in gas stove .

[guravaiah]

Last four a1 c reports are 8.2, 11.2… 11.7… 13.1 sir

[guravaiah]

I agreed your answer sir . Searching in internet and following diet causes some health problems additional to diabetes. But our forum mostly saying lchf diet controls the diabetes but lchf diet information is not available in the forum.

[VinayRaj in reply to guravaiah]

Guravaiah if it is helpful you can google my name and diabetic and i have outlined my diet for every meal with BS numbers etc for every day for first 30-40 days I transitioned to LCHF and then to Keto

[guravaiah in reply to VinayRaj]

Ok sir. Thank you.

[VinayRaj]

So true, specially on medication, expert guidance and mentoring is required to transition into LCHF over a 6-10 week period as medicines etc can be adjusted accordingly, lifestyle changes as appropriate can be made too.

[guravaiah]

Sir I have one doubt that my father asked . If we take high fat in our diet that to three times a day we would not face any cholesterol and triglycerides levels variations ( spikes)

[guravaiah]

Ok sir

[ramana42 Volunteer]

True about the disease.It is a metabolic disorder.About being above or below average as a human being,I do not believe in it.But yes,each human being is unique.

[Praveen55 Moderator]

Thanks for bringing out this information, otherwise I would have kept wondering why they reacted the way they did.

[Praveen55 Moderator]

Hi guravaiah,

It is sad that sometimes commercial interest becomes important. You should use your own discretion in consultation with your Doctor to follow a particular diet. Always assess the risk and reward involved.

What I have suggested is an example of how a low carbs diet looks like and what I have been using. You can always adjust it to your requirements. It is important to learn about these things because you have to, like rest of us, manage your conditions for a long time to come.

Thanks, and we wish you all the best.

[Praveen55 Moderator]

Low carb diet has been there since early 1970's pioneered by Robert Atkins. Though he emphasized on high protein. Subsequently, several modifications were implemented by several researchers and today also there are several forms of low carb diets including LCHF as you rightly mentioned.

[VinayRaj]

Honestly I think there is scientific literature published as old as 1915 where Low carb was the preferred treatment for diabetics when Insulin was not available. Am not able to recall the study, but it is a scientific study published in a journal. So its as old if not older. Dr. Atkins used a version of it for weight loss in the 80s and 90s and am sure there are numerous other instances.

[Praveen55 Moderator in reply to VinayRaj]

Must be. Because I also read some recipe book for diabetes where butter and other fatty foods were recommended. The book available online for free dates back to 1920 or so (don't remember the exact date).

[GVGnanasooriyam]

Agreed!

[Jrsjms]

Hi everyone, I am understanding more about diet from this discussion. Thanks alot. I would like to share my experience that along with diet walking is helpful. Also, evenings one has to take early dinner with more vegetables.

[Activity2004 Administrator]

Yes, Hidden . I do get the testing done as necessary, but it is between 3 and 4 months.

[Activity2004 Administrator]

They have tested the protein level, but I will have to check the report later when I’m home later. Hopefully, the paperwork is not too far down where it’s kept.

[Activity2004 Administrator]

Will have to figure out what they are later. I will let you know when I can. I’m on the way to an early dinner with my parents and then off to do some dancing! Enjoy your day ahead!😀

[Activity2004 Administrator]

Looks really great, Hidden . I will be back later and write what I have/had soon.

[guravaiah]

Ok sir

[guravaiah]

All are about your goodness, greetings and hepful things. I will follow the forum suggestions which I have convenient . Thank you so much sir and all of the members. I surely say that my bs levels are decreasing taking the suggestions from the forum . Taking eggs and nuts . Happy new year in advance to all the forum members.

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to guravaiah]

Thank you for the New Year wishes, guravaiah !😀

Have a wonderful new year ahead!😀
