A qualified doctor is the person you must turn to for medical advice on this matter and for advice on dietary changes that can be provided by a dietitian nominated by the doctor.

Hi, My 11 year old son Kade has Type 1 diabetes and 4 days ago he was diagnosed with celiac disease…the doctor told me to put him on a gluten free diet. I didn’t even have a clue what that was, well 300.00 later, and blood glucose high, (with the rice flour) I still don’t have much of a clue. I haven’t given my son any artifical sweetners and really don’t want to…but things are getting limited here….if you have any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. I cannot believe the cost of the basic items needed…I have just sold my wedding band today so I can buy more food for my son.
I don’t mean to whine, just lost right now. Thank you

Hi Jim!

Sorry for the late reply! I only just noticed that you replied here.

I’m based in Birmingham. You say you were born in the UK and currently have family here? It’s funny, just yesterday two of my friends moved to Canada from the UK!

Would you mind sending me a quick email to the address I used to submit this comment? I’m sure you’ll agree that it would be far easier to continue this conversation via email!

Thanks,
Linda

Comment on A diet plan for diabetics by sandalwood

I agree, that number of calories, or perhaps a few more, should keep the weight down, one of the biggest problems for diabetics.
Do you not think that 16 ounces of water may be a little high? I usually settle for 1 glass with meals, that is easy when you have to swallow a bunch of pills too.

Comment on Low Carbohydrate Approach in Diabetic Meal Planning by sandalwood

Well, if you are thriving on that good luck to you, i wish you all the best. But for the rest us who are of average height and not overweight or not very much overweight, and not excessively active, 5-6000 calories per day is way more than we need to meet our bodies requirements. Carbs are OK, in fact can be great if they are the right type, Low GL, and not too many of course. I try to take in about 25percent protein, 25 percent fats (no more than 10 percent saturated) and 50 percent carbs in a calorie intake of about 2000 per day. I don’t gain weight but ddn’t lose any either, when my sugars get extra high it is because I’ve eaten apple pie or some other goody. And none of the meals should be too large, about the same for each is probably the best.

“Saturated fats are associated with health problems such as high cholesterol, high triglycerides, and heart disease.”

I have not had “ONE” carb in over a year! All I eat is 1 ribeye and mabe some eggs and bacon a day. I have also had my Cholesterol checked mabe 6 times during the course of a year and my triglycerides are in the low 50′s which the doctor’s want you to be around 150 benchmark. So I am almost 100 points under benchmark! Triglycerides turns into sugar basically in the system. So how is it possible Saturated fat’s make your cholesterol higher? My energy is so high I have to cut back on the fat from steaks sometimes since “fat” is the energy source of my body since I eat this way. My doctor told me after I lost 80 pounds I was in the best shape of my life and then I told him how I was eating. All vitamins and nutrients needed come from meat. America keep drinking and giving Juices to children thinking it is healthy and wonder why your children gets diabetes??? Everyone seems to think they know about what’s good for them but has never really read any information about how the body actually works. Keep eating carbs which in return makes a insulin roller-coaster up and down along with blood sugar levels. That’s why you get sleepy after a big dinner. Next is diabetes and you will be taking a good ol shot of insulin!!! No such thing as calorie in calorie out! of course if you starve your body you will look like Michael Jackson all frail with no muscle mass and bones. Skinny skeleton? I eat probably 5-6000 calories a day. Sometimes I eat 2 ribeye’s a day and I am 35 years old leaner than I was in my 20′s. So starving yourself with craving’s galore and counting calories is not a fix to people’s problems. Saturated fat gives level energy and no craving’s since blood sugar and insulin levels are alway’s level and not like you on a Six Flags roller coaster.

when I learned I had type2 Diabetes, I knew that I had to change my diet or die slowly and unpleasantly. so–I cut my carbs to 100 per day and my calories to 1500 per day. It is not so hard to stick to and the best thing is that my HbA1c is 5.3 and that I have lost 50 lbs.
