For long term survival with diabetes, keeping blood sugars to near-normal levels is the key.  Many diabetics take in too many carbohydrates in their diet, and significantly reducing these can reduce the need for insulin and simplify the management of the disease.

Tell your friend to go to the store and get a glucometer.  They can range from inexpensive to real expensive but most have mail in rebates which make the meter virtually free.  Any brand is good and the simpler the operation the better.Have her test her blood sugar once a day in the morning before she eats (fasting blood sugar, a good indicator of control).  The normal range is 80-120, anywhere within that range is good.  Most new kits come with a 10 day supply of everything and you can use the lancet (pricker, the thing with the needle on it) up to 4 times before it starts to dull.  Plus supplies can be bought over the counter.\n\nFoods to avoid:  Quick sugars, candy, anything with high fructose corn syrup, anything covered with sugar or sugary glaze, sugary cookies, table sugar, etc you get the idea\n\nFoods in moderation:  fresh fruits and fruit juices (some are very high in fruit sugar and some of the juices have high fructose corn syrup added), pies and cakes (small portions are good)\n\nFoods allowed: Pastas, rice, beans, meats, cereals ( hot cereals, not flavored-cold cereals, not sugar coated or flavored), juices (citrus, cranberry, lite or no sugar added),applesauce (no sugar added), vegetables (fresh or canned), etc.\n\nHave your friend  call the local hospital and ask for the dietician. Have her explain the situation and take her advice.  If she needs to make an appointment then do it.\n\nShe must take a proactive attitude and get all the information she can.  She can also go to the library and get books on diabetic diets and cooking.  As her friend look up American Diabetic Associan on the web, they have a site for recipes and other information that will be helpful.  Good Luck!

Eat foods that are low on the glycemic index.  You can eat naturally surary foods, if they are higher in fiber, as they are absorbed more slowly by the body.  Apple juice will shove your blood sugar sky high, but an apple should be ok.\n\nVegetables, with some lowfat dip would be good.  Fresh fruit - like apples or dried fruit like apricots can also be good.  COnsult your doctor as to if eating things like sugar free candy or life savers are ok for you.

As a diabetic you shouldn't eat anything with sugar in it. I realize some dr say it's ok on occassion, but the problem with that is, they assume that the diabetic knows what "occasional" means. When I was in my teens and youth, I didn't want to deal with the fact that I had diabetes, so I ate what ever I wanted. The immidiate result was really high glucose levels for very extended amounts of time. Your body will aclimate to high sugar levels, but you will definately suffer long term consequences such as nueropathy and high blood pressure, which over time will lead to loss of feeling in the feet and hands, osteoperosis, reproductive organ malfunction or failure, blindness, strokes and/or heart attacks. \nI used to be out of controll with my blood sugar levels. The day they told me I was blind and that it would permanent if I didn't get it under control, I fixed it. Surgeries reversed the blindness, but the long term effects of being out of controll had already begun to affect me. I eventually ended up on dialisys and have begun to lose some of the feeling in my right foot. I was on dialisys for two years before getting a kidney/pancreas transplant. Any one of those complications will bring your normal life to a screaching halt.\n\nI know, It's really hard to eat right all the time. After a month or two of eating right and exercising, it will become second nature to you. I don't eat very much starch foods or carbs. Back when I went blind, that was one of the things I cut out of my diet and that was 18  years ago. I had my transplant 6 years ago, but I was so in the habit of not eating starchy and high carb foods, that even now, I feel like I have a brick in my gut and I weigh 500 pounds if I eat the average amounts of these foods. No, I'm not pencil skinny, nor would you or anyone else ever guess there was anything wrong with me in the first place. once you start eating right and working with your diabete's instead of against it, the easier it will be to live life like it should be lived.\n\nWhether you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, you listed some of the key foods you should stay away from. As hard as it may be, stay away from candy, foods that are high in sugar, soda pops, fast foods, fatty foods and carbs. People will tell you don't cut all carbs out of your diet, Thats what gives you energy for your muscles. And thats true, but if you eat a well balanced diet, you'll get plenty of carbs from the fruits and vegatables you eat. Yes, there is carbs in those foods.

First, he needs to see a diabetic specialist or his family doctor. Ask for an AC1 test. What have his sugars been over the past three months? Has he been snacking? As well, 4 small meals isn't really enough. He should be eating 3 well-balanced meals (your local diabetes association or doctor can help you with this and there are places that can offer advice on nutrition for diabetics) with snacks in between. Remember, raw vegetables are better than cooked and be careful with fruits. Fruits contain sugar and not all fruits contain the same amount fructose. Also, read the ingredients on foods you buy. Some foods contain an outragous amount of sugar even though they say "lite" or "fat-free". Also, remember, less fat is better. How much does he weigh? The more he's overweight, the higher his sugars are likely to go. Exercise is also important. Don't worry about joining the local gym, just a walk in the evening or something like that will do. Maybe a swim. It doesn't have to be difficult. Most of all, though, talk to your doctor. Insulin and medication levels may have to be changed or tests may have to be run. Your doctor is an invaluable resource in this matter. No food in the world is going to do what your husband and your doctor can do.

The problem with people who are diabetic, is that,they tend to eat Carb based foods that say "NO SUGAR ADDED", which is completely detrimental to their health, as all Carbs are SUGAR.\n\nSo I suggest that you make a Low or Non-Carbohydrate Birthday Dinner instead.\n\nTry a delectable salad with some amount of protein (Fish or Chicken), Try Brown Basmati Rice (not too much of it) or Whole wheat flour, if need be. Non-sugar based Ice Cream (if not lactose intolerant) sounds good.

Diet is an integral part of diabetes management.\nDiet for diabetics is no different from the normal healthy diet recommmended for everybody.\n\nFat should be reduced to 30% of total energy intake, and consist mainly of unsaturated fats. Protein should be 15 % and carbohydrates 50-55 % of total energy intake.\nPatients should eat complex carbohydrates like potatoe and pasta, which are absorbed relatively slowly from the gastrointestinal tract, thus prevent the rapid fluctuation in blood sugar that occur with simple sugars, such as sucrose or glucose, are eaten.\nIt is better to spread nutrients throughout the day in the form or three main meals, in addition to snacks in between meals and at bedtime, which reduces swings in blood sugar.

People should therefore, get the recommended amount of magnesium by eating leafy green vegetables, nuts, and other magnesium-rich foods.

My Grandmother also was a diabetic.  There are all kinds of "sweets" that are safe but not made with sugar.  In the candy isle or the specialty foods section of the grocery store there are sugar free candies.  In the bakery they have sugar free pies.  Ask the baker if there are deserts that they can make that would be easy to transport.  They even have sugar free ice cream.  I used to love to bring these special treats to her.  She really appreciated them.
