Question:


Answers:
Don't go see a GP go see an endocrinologist and they will set you up with a dietitian. An endocrinologist the diabetes specialist you need to see whether you are Type I or Type II sadly most type II's do not usually see one. The doctor will set you up with a dietitian and he/she will be able to help you get rolling. Please don't take the advise of people on here that do not necessarily know what they are talking about. My husband is a type I my uncles and grandfather are Type II so I do have so background. You can talk to your GP about referring you to a Endocrinologist but sometimes they are forth coming with the information because they think they can handle it themselves. My husband had that problem when we moved and he needed to get referred to a new Endocrinologist. GOOD LUCK!

And the real link you should click are for the experts ..
American Diabetes Association.

the best thing 2 do is set up a diet plan with ur dr.my CM an KG could b the same but compleatly different then u ask ur Dr

depends on the type of diabetic you are talking about
i have helped both type one and type two diabetics with nutrition counseling if you like i can recommend a program just email me

First, you need to see a physician. Go see an Internal Medicine or Family Medicine specialist. He or she will guide you further. I recommend also visiting the American Diabetic Association website at diabetes.org and go find out an appropriate diet. But, before you do anything, consult with a physician. However, the diet online (1800 cal, 2100 cal, etc., etc.) will give you an idea of what you should be eating until your doctor's appointment.

But, don't let this pass. The retina, the heart, the nervous system, and your kidneys could all suffer long-term damage if you don't get your diabetes in control. Good news: It's managable. There are millions of people with it who manage it great.

Didn't say how tall you are. Two sites below give good food plans for you for Type 2 diabetes.

First of all, you should get specific advice from your GP, or local hospital.

To get you started though, try this:

well i cant say what is the best diet plan as you would need to see a dietician or your local GP but try eating lots of fruit and vegetable and some chicken which is high in protein and get plenty of exercise and you wont feel that you are diabetic. and treat yourself now and again. hope that helps. :)

Anyway,you can consult a physcian for suitable recommendation because without consult a physician and you plan self diet is very risk.
pls see a physcian .

I am also a diabetic when i first found out i begain to start to care more about my body and whtat i was putting into it.my advice is to as soon as possible start going to see a diatician and they can help you pick a healthy diet that will go well with whatever type of diabetic that you are and what would go well with you and your body.Hopefully i have helped you some way!Good luck with everything!

Okay hon..first thing you do is talk to your Dr..and if you don't have a dr..then get on to a web site for diabetics, and they should be able to help you. I'm sorry but the weight and measurements are not the same we use in Canada, so it's hard for me to help you..
Check the diabetes.com website for answers, but seriously you should be referred by your general practitioner..

good luck to you

My husband was recently diagnosed with diabetes too. First thing you have to do is accept it, it can be successfully treated. Then the most important thing is to CONTROL you disease. Have your glucose checked, feet and eyes examined regularly. It is very important to consult you physician and let him manage it. Another VERY important thing is you diet. You need a well balanced low carb diet. Try this link, I found it very helpful http://www.diabetes.org/ Be strong, its gonna be all right!
P.S. And I forgot to tell you that regular exercising is very important also!

My mother was a diabetic and she died at the age of 52. She would not follow her doctor's orders and she went out and eat at fast food places. She ended up legally blind in one eye and couldn't hardly see out of the other one. listen to the doctor's plans for you and you shouldn't have any problems with losing some of your weight and maintaining it.. If you don't think that you can stay on the dietary plan that the doctor gives you then go and join a dietary club like Weight Watcher's..They can give you the foods aloud on your dietary plan. Take your meds that the doctor gives to you faithfully and you should live a long and normal life..(Whatever normal is.lol).Listen to your doctor first he/she will not hurt you..Good Luck!

I agree with everyone else Check with your GP In the meantime any healthy balanced diet should help with your diabetes control. You may also want to check to see if you have a local help group. Diabetes UK can put you in touch with local groups.

you should have had a diet sheet given to you when you was diagnosed with it, the diets vary on what type you have 1 or 2.
don't listen to anyone but your doctors or diabetes specialist.

you should talk to a dietician and stay away from processed foods. no white flour, white rice, sugar, corn syrup, white pasta, potatoes. you should be eating several small meals a day that consist of whole foods. foods that are in their most natural form. almonds, vegetables, fruits, whole grain breads, crackers. lean, unprecessed meats.

A low glycemic high fiber diet is the best and add
glyconutrient supplements to let the cells repair the pancreas. All you have is an auto-immune dysfunction. click
on diabetes on this site. http://www.glycoresource.com

Something that is well balanced. Check with your dietitian.
