Question 1

a diet plan for diabetic?

Accepted Answer

Low carbs: Simple sugars and processed carbs should be avoided or limited. This includes any flour product. The fine grind makes absorption quick, and spikes your blood sugar which increases Insulin and promotes weight gain. Good fats such as olive oil and coconut oil are fine in sensible amounts. Eat a rainbow of organic vegetables and just enough protein.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Balance sugar: Fruits are good, as long as you keep in mind the high content of sugar in most fruits. See the site below for guidance regarding diabetic diet:

Accepted Answer

Live better: If you are a prediabetic, you are at high risk for developing diabetes, heart disease and strokes.  Start by eating a low glycemic diet, lose the weight, exercise 150minutes/week, stop smoking, decrease your alcohol and drink more water.  Studies have shown patients who improve their lifestyle are less likely to develope diabetes that patients who choose to take the pill option. No quick fix!

Question 7

is there a diabetic diet home delivery program?

Accepted Answer

Most likely many: Also free magazine diabetic life, and free tv channel about diabetes.

Question 8

type 1 diabetes diet should consist of what foods?

Accepted Answer

Moderation in carbs: People with t1 diabetes take Insulin to avoid post-meal blood glucose spikes (resulting from carb intake). Thus, most diabetes experts suggest using lower glycemic index carbs (such as higher fiber content grains), with amounts in moderation (40-50% of total daily caloric intake). Examples of such are: whole grains (not processed grains), whole fruit (not juice), brown rice (not white) etc...

Question 9

diet control for hypertensive and diabetic patient?

Accepted Answer

Metabolic syndrome: I am not sure why you are on a calcium channel blocker, but ace inhibitors are first line in diabetes with hypertension. 
Metabolic syndrome is a problem of obesity, high bp, high blood lipids and poor sugar control. The best approach to this is to eliminate refined foods from the diet. Eat a quart of vegetables daily. Omega 3 oils, magnesium, Alpha lipoic acid and aerobics are very helpful.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Low-calorie diet: First of all, let me commend you about thinking about your diet before becoming a diabetic. Secondly, the diabetic diet basically consists of minimizing simple carbs and fats and eating lots of fruits and vegetables. See the ada website for more: http://www.Diabetes.Org/food-and-fitness/food/what-can-i-eat/making-healthy-food-choices.Html. Ideally will be to learn how to count carbohydrates.
