Diabetes Diet

Till the discovery of insulin in 1921, a diet markedly restricted in carbohydrates was the only treatment of diabetes. Since the discovery of insulin, the diabetic diet has gradually become more liberal.

Many overweight diabetics can be treated by diet and exercise alone. Diabetics on insulin or tablets also have to adhere to a standard diet. In the treatment of diabetes, there is no substitute for diet.

Principles of diabetic diet

A diabetic diet should be sufficient for the activities of a person, for the growth and development of a child or for the needs of a pregnant woman. As a rule, a diabetic should not become fat. The blood glucose and lipids should be maintained within optimum limits to prevent acute and chronic complications of diabetes. The diet should be balanced. It need not be monotonous or unpalatable. A diabetic can have a variety in his diet if he and his spouse have understood food exchanges. Cultural, social, and religious preferences, family budget and usual food pattern are considered while planning a diabetic diet. The diet has to be modified, if in addition to diabetes, he or she is suffering from some other ailment, for example, high blood pressure or an impairment of kidney function. A diabetic diet, therefore, has to be individualized. There is nothing like "the standard diet suitable for all diabetics".
