In a couple of documents available through the National Istitutes of Health the authors wrote about the importance of everyone, including diabetics, having four fruits a day.  Specific fruits mentioned were peaches, watermelon, strawberries, and cantaloupe.  They also mentioned fruit salad.

These include, chips, pretzels, bread, cereals, sugars, including beer and regular pop, corn, potatoes, junk food in general, and if he is eating a lot of fruits...they have natural sugars in them.\nHere's a link\nhttp://www.endocrineweb.com/diabetes/treatment.html

Avoid all fried stuff ,use groundnut or canola oil if you must and not more than 2 spoons per day. Be sure to use clarified butter (ghee) 2 spoons per day. Use plenty of fresh fruits and vegtables-- ideally 5 servings per day. And all dibetics must take a statin and aspirin pill a day to keep lipids normal and ward off stroke and heart attack.

It a terrible statistic, but 100 percent of anyone who has ever eaten a carrot has or will die!!!!!    another one might be "death is proven to be caused by the slow ingestion of saliva over time".

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.

Cinnamon has incredible properties for diabetics. It is recommended that they consume 1/2 tsp/day. I do not know about the diabeticinn but I do have 2 diabetics in my household. They are both taking Himilayan Goji Juice which fights all auto-immune disorders. One of them had black feet and sores all over his legs. Since drinking this all natural juice, he now has pink feet again, the sores are clearing up and his blood sugar levels are balancing out. The other diabetic was having problems with fainting and dizziness. She too has balanced blood sugar levels now and has no more problems. I highly recommend this juice for all diabetics.

Hi There\n\nHere is an action plan of attack.\n\nQuick Action Plan for Diabetes\n\n\n1. Be aware for early signs of blood sugar problems. Have the proper yearly tests performed.\n\n2. Keep in mind that the goal of diabetic treatment and self-care is to restore blood sugar levels close to normal and to correct related metabolic disorders. One of the best ways to accomplish this is by eating small, frequent meals throughout the day that emphasize fresh, organic foods that are low on the glycemic scale, such as raw and lightly steamed vegetables, low sugar whole fruits, nuts, seeds, whole grains and legumes, yams, wild fish, poultry, lean cuts of beef, bison meal lamb or veal.\n\n3. Minimize or eliminate your intake of simple carbohydrates and all sugars, as well as tobacco and processed "junk foods." In addition, reduce your intake of alcohol and caffeine. Both alcohol and caffeine could be enjoyed on special occasions, rather than daily or even weekly habits.\n\n4. Remain hydrated; drinking adequate quantities of pure water is essential for all aspects of your health.\n\n5. Engage in regular light exercise and stress reduction because they are keys to maintaining lower levels of blood sugar.\n\n6. Consider supplementing with nutrients such as B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E, chromium, magnesium, potassium, essential fatty acids, CoQ10, alpha lipoic acid, and vanadium. Stabilized rice bran supplements can also be helpful.\n\n7. Herbs such as astragalus, bitter melon, fenugreek, garlic, ginseng, Gymnema sylvestre, and huerque can also provide significant benefits.\n\n8. If you have already developed Type I or Type II diabetes, combine the above self-care natural cures with professional care from a holistically oriented physician or other alternative health care practitioner. Particularly useful professional care therapies for treating and preventing diabetes include chelation therapy, food allergy testing, parasite testing and if necessary, cleansing, oxygen therapy, and professional dietary and nutritional counseling. Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine can also be helpful.\n\n9. Prevention, if you are pre-disposed and managing a diabetic condition, is a life-long commitment. By committing to the guidelines above, you can significantly improve your symptoms, and, if you suffer from Type II diabetes, quite possibly reverse them altogether. Implementing diet and lifestyle changes can help improve your energy levels, and your confidence in your ability to experience greater health. \n\nBest of health to both of you\n\nCheers

no, as  it has been said, vitamin c is water  soluble and the body flushes out  unabsorbed vitamin  c. diabetes can't really be cured, it can be controlled. taking ENOUGH vitamin c in by diet  or supplement might be a good idea especially for diabetics because of the vision problems diabetics tend to face. your mom was right about eating carrots for your eyes, it's not a save  all, but has been shown to help

A Diabetic Diet is actually a healthy diet, but distributed in a way to allow your body to process nutrients more efficiently. Diabetics are not necessarily barred from particular food products, but must integrate them in their dietary schedule.  Diabetes educators work to assist individual diabetics to work their favourite foods into a diet for them.  Much of this is focused on portions, eating smaller meals over longer periods of time and maintaining glucose counts.

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.

Thats a big 10-4..  Carrots are kind of sweet, right?  Natural sweetness involves sugar. Sugar means there are carbs present.  Stick with the celery if counting carbs.

rule of thumb, aviod sweet food and check ur sugar regularly. eat plenty of green vegetables, avoid taking much carbohydrate (bread, rice, cereals, etc), eat it moderation (but dont starve), and exercise regularly. hope it helps, but hey dont forget to seek expert help, preferably from a doc/ diabetic nurse/ dietician. the american diabetic association has a resourceful website too. http://www.diabetes.org/home.jsp
