Diets That Can Help Curb Diabetes.

A person with diabetes has a condition in which the quantity of glucose in the blood is too elevated (hyperglycemia). This is because the body either does not produce enough insulin, produces no insulin, or has cells that do not respond properly to the insulin the pancreas produces. This results in too much glucose building up in the blood. This excess blood glucose eventually passes out of the body in urine. So, even though the blood has plenty of glucose, the cells are not getting it for their essential energy and growth requirements - You may like to read, Type of Diabetes and Their Treatments

A low carbohydrate (low-carb ) menu is the foundation of the diets that can help curb diabetes. Dieting is a method for controlling diabetes, not just for weight loss.

This Is How It Works
Carbohydrates convert to sugar in the body. Insulin is produced by the pancreas in response to sugar intake, in an effort to keep the blood sugar level at an appropriate level. Reducing carbohydrate intake not only helps with weight management, it also helps with insulin production and insulin resistance in the body. It is the excessive carbohydrates that lead the body toward diabetes. Modest weight loss is also linked to improved insulin resistance.

Diet Guidelines
In your diet, carbohydrate intake must be reduced or eliminated. Eliminate or reduce intake of bread, pasta, potatoes, cereal and other foods like yogurt, milk and fruit, which contain a high sugar content - You may also read, 7 Healthy Eating Tips.

Take meal that includes a serving of each of the following:
Protein: fish, poultry, lean meat, eggs or cheese
Non-starchy vegetables: broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers or mushrooms
Fat: butter, olive oil, avocado, nuts, nut butter or baco.

Low-carb diets can be more powerful than drugs to treat Type 2 diabetes. Changing your carbohydrate intake can impact your blood sugar and the amount of medication needed to keep it regulated. Sometimes low-cab diets allow you to stop taking medication to treat your diabetes.
