The modern life is plagued with fast foods and stress. The modern India which is growing with western life style ... Gone are the days of reliable agricultural practices....

With chemical fertilizers , pesticide , herbicide in food production ,processing and storage has greatly contributed to the degradation...

Even non junk foods is silently contributing to the slow but steady penetration into our system..

The Agricultural survey in India confirms that the LAND degradation is alarming.....

I am not propagating or suggesting green farming....... because it is impossible to meet the targets......

The population has to be saved from the perils......

Any suggestions please.....

Incidentally I come from a family of diabetes both parents.....

however i am not a certified or declared as one....

Are you counting carbs. for each meal and/or snack?

Green farming ,extensive green Foresting , population control , reduction of the use of automobiles , and modern gadgets are the only steps which put a check to all the autoimmune and psychosomatic diseases .Pollution of water , and food can be stopped to a certain extent . But pollution of sound and light are equally causing maximum damage to the life in the form of autoimmune diseases including diabetes . Lung infections from emissions of automobiles , vehicles , the dust , cell phone radiation , electro magnetic radiation of modern gadgets including computers , sound pollution , stress , tension , light pollution all have far reaching consequences . It is not the food alone the causative factor. Now the threat of diabetes is going to be overtaken by the threat of Parkinson's disease , Bipolar , Alzheimer's and other psychosomatic diseases . In another 10 years every family of four would have at least two patients suffering with these health problems . The gift of modern science and technology is a hydra headed monster . If one generation suffers with diabetes , the next generation in the same family becomes a subject of these diseases because of the lack of immunity along with the triggering factors mentioned above .It is high time the scientists , intellectuals and politicians paid attention to these issues instead of hankering for money power and recognition .

Overeating, wrong food choice, stress and sedentary lifestyle together are the root cause of almost all chronic ailments including type2 diabetes. To reverse one must correct all the above factors and most diseases are taken care of. Also, insulin resistance is the main problem, raised blood sugar is just a symptom...

Three out of five doctors themselves are suffering with diabetes and they know very well that their medicines do not cure the malady but only supress the symptoms temporarily . They also suggest ( off the record ) to go for complex carbs with coconut oil , whole grains greens and green vegetables rich in vitamins , minerals , and other nutrients . public should be educated extensively through media and tv about the necessity of taking those steps

India is eating wrong/junk food. Bad advice by the government and experts. Not heeding to the genuine voices that are raising concerns about food items like palm oil and other harmful vegetable oils like safola, corn, kapasia, rice bran oils under the pretext of low/ zero cholesterol oils. When you give wrong education to the people, then they eat wrong food and can harm their health. Certain communities like: Gujarati, Marwadi and Bengali eat lots of highly sugarated sweets and other items. There's sugar in everything they eat except roti and rice (which itself is full of sugar ).The people put ghee and sugar in/on roti and eat as a roll and even there are people who add sugar to rice. Also Indians are not aware/used to exercise.

Did your doctor say that they want you to start on a low carb high fat or low carb high protein diet?

All my friends have elaborately discussed the cause.Just few things one should follow ,I think it can be controlled.1 .Say no to pure carb foods.2 Diabetes should be discussed as a subject in secondary level. 3.No sedentary life style.After every meal at least 2 k.m walking .De-stress one self by pranayam early morning.

Where diabetes is a neuropsychiatric disorder it can be treated with transcranial magnetic stimulation which reduces food cravings .If it is due to environmental , psychological , emotional factors diet change does not help much . Inherited mitochondrial disorder is associated with type 1 diabetes . Sleep deprivation also causes raising of blood glucose concentration and cortisol secretion which results in insulin resistance . In all these cases high fat diet is not very effective . High fat diets reduce PPBS but not Fbs effectively as per my observation . My observation could be wrong . complex carbs with simple proteins should be taken to control diabetic complications and spikes of Blood sugar.
