Is there a diet that covers diabetis, high cholesterol and high triglycerides.?

Yes, the South Beach Diet. It was actually designed by a cardiologist for better health,(and of course weight loss)for his heart patients, a good percentage of whom were diabetic. The book "The South Beach Diet" is in paperback now, I got mine at Walmart for $5.77. It is also the easiest diet I have ever been on. And I am a HUGE bread lover!! I hope you get and read the book regardless of whether you try the diet because it is a treasure of info.

There are several effective ways to reduce high triglycerides:\n\nReduce your intake of carbohydrates. Avoid refined flour, sugar, etc. It is simple carbohydrates that cause an increase in triglycerides.\n\nAvoid alcohol, especially beer.\n\nExercise regularly.\n\nIf overweight, lose weight.\n\nDo not smoke.\n\nTake a psyllium type laxative preparation (such as Metamucil). It adds soluable fiber that can cut triglyceride levels in half.\n\nTake fish oil capsules, which reduces triglycerides.\n\nHope this helps.

This diet isn't the worst I have seen but it isn't particularly healthy either. \n\nWhat's bad\n\nSkipping meals is never a good idea as this can cause a dip in your blood sugar levels. If your blood sugar levels constantly dip and surge, you could end up pre-diabetic.\n\nSports drinks contain a lot of sugar so I would cut them out completely. If you must have something sweet, stick to fruit juice diluted with water. \n\nYou are not consuming enough vegetables and there is very little variety. You need at least 5 pieces of fruit and veg a day and these should be different pieces (to maximise nutrition). You should eat more vegetables than fruit as fruit contains a lot of natural sugar. For this reason, it is possible to overdo fruit consumption.\n\nCereal bars are not dreadful but they tend to contain a lot of sugar. I would limit your intake to 1 a day.\n\nEating foods like tuna pasta and eggs without vegetables or salad isn't good. Eggs are binders and are renowned for blocking you up. If you do not eat more fibre, you risk constipation.\n\nWhat's good\n\nThe water is good.  When you are thirsty, your body is demanding water. It doesn't need sports drinks or anything other than water (although I appreciate plain water can seem boring after a while!). Aim to drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water a day.\n\nFish is good. A variety of fish is even better. Oily fish contains essential fatty acids and omega oils so this is most nutritious but all fish (especially organic fish) is great protein. Just make sure it doesn't come in batter or breadcrumbs...\n\nNuts are great. A superfood. But you should only consume a small handful each day. The best nuts to eat are brazils, pecans, walnuts and almonds.\n\nFruit is good but don't eat too much (see above). Try to ensure that there is plenty of variety too and add berries (for example) to your Weetos in the mornings.\n\n\nIf you are a snacker, think about having 6 small meals a day instead of 2 large ones and a bunch of snacks. Ensure there is a balance of protein, carbohydrate (preferably wholegrains) and vegetable fibre at each meal - roughly a third of each on the plate. And when you snack, have a small handful of nuts and one or two pieces of fruit. Other than that, snack on raw vegetables and humus (very good for you). And don't forget the water!

Hi Kali Girl\n\nHere are some answers on diet and tips to help the healing process.\n\nDiet: Proper diet is critical for both preventing and treating diabetes, especially Type II diabetes. One of the most important dietary precautions you can take is to eliminate all refined sugars and sugar products from your diet. Such products include refined sugar, corn syrup, cornstarch, dextrose, dextrin, fructose, fruit juice concentrates, glucose, lactose, malt, maltodextrin, maltose, mannitol, sorbitol, sorghum, sucrose, and xylitol. Honey, Maple syrup, Agaves or Chicory syrup must also be eliminated if you are pre-diabetic or diabetic. Also reduce or eliminate your intake of alcohol and caffeine. Remove fast food, refined foods, processed "junk" foods, soda, fried foods, and all products containing white flour. Choose quality protein snacks between meals, or soaked nuts, and fresh vegetables and vegetable only juices as between meal options. \n\nTo help your body better regulate blood glucose levels, also reduce your overall carbohydrate intake, replacing simple carbohydrates with complex carbohydrate foods. This means use whole flours and grains, beans, legumes, and fresh fiber-rich vegetables, rather than choosing to eat refined foods. Eating five to six small meals a day, instead of the traditional three larger meals, can also help balance blood sugar levels and prevent excessively high insulin spikes after eating. In addition, a vegetarian diet high in organic vegetables and complex whole grains, along with small intakes of whole fruit that contains seeds or pits, rather than fruit juice, has also been found to be helpful for many people suffering from Type II diabetes. Jerusalem artichoke is another food that can help diabetics control blood sugar levels. A diet rich in healthy fats, such as avocados, nuts, seeds, extra virgin olive, raw virgin coconut butter and high lignin flax seed oil also supports you in maintaining level and stable blood sugar levels.\n\nMany Type II diabetes patients fare well on a diet that consist of 55 to 60 percent complex carbohydrates, 15 to 20 percent protein (with a minimum of 45 grams of protein per day), and 20 to 25 percent healthy fats. In addition, you should increase your fiber intake to a daily level of 40 to 50 grams of fiber, with 10 to 15 grams of soluble fiber. High-fiber foods like beans and whole grains can be added slowly, perhaps at a rate of one serving per week, along with an increase in your intake of pure, filtered water. \n\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

Have you seen an Endocrinologist and Dietitian yet or just your General Practitioner?\n\nPlease don't go on any of those fad diets they can do more harm than good.  You really are going to have to do a overhaul on your lifestyle.  First of all you need to be checking you glucose levels regularly.  If before a meal your levels are high .. do not eat .. you will have to do something aerobic to break down the sugars .. walking should do the trick.  Just make healthy choices and keep you meals small.  Small meals are going to be key in maintaining tight control.  You can still eat fruits and small amount of bread and starches you just have to do it in moderation.  Please get with a dietitian as soon as possible they will get you on your way.

Cholesterol is produced by your body and is also present in foods of animal origin. While we could not survive without cholesterol, levels that are too high may contribute to heart disease.\n \n \nSteps:\n1.  Keep a food diary. Write down what you eat every day for a week. This is an easy method of evaluating what types of foods you are eating and if they are high in fat and cholesterol.\n \n2.  Reduce your intake of foods high is saturated fat, which will raise your blood cholesterol higher than anything else you eat. Saturated fat is found primarily in foods from animals, such as fatty red meat, poultry skin, whole milk, butter and lard. Plant sources of saturated fat include coconut oil and palm oil.\n \n3.  Cut down on your overall intake of fat. That will reduce your saturated fat intake.\n \n4.  Set a goal of having fat make up 30 percent or less of the total day's calories. No more than 8-10 percent should be from saturated fat.\n \n5.  Replace saturated fat, such as butter and lard, with polyunsaturated or monounsaturated fats, such as olive oil and canola oil.\n \n6.  Choose foods that are naturally low in fat, such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains. They are also high in fiber, vitamins and minerals.\n \n7.  Reduce or eliminate your intake of fast foods. Many of them tend to be very high in fat, especially those that are fried and breaded.\n \n8.  Eat less dietary cholesterol. Only animal foods contain dietary cholesterol, so reduce or eliminate animal products. Avoid consuming more than 300mg of cholesterol per day.\n \n9.  Experiment with new ways of eating. Check out different ethnic cuisines, such as Thai and other Asian cuisines, in which the traditional diet is low in fat. Order pizza with low fat mozzarella, minus the pepperoni but topped with fresh veggies.\n \n10.  Buy a vegan/vegetarian cookbook and try having at least two or three meatless dinners a week.\n \n11.  Exercise. Find a sport you like, join a gym, do whatever it takes to get your body moving. Exercise can help lower your blood cholesterol; it can also help with weight loss and keep your heart healthy.

Cinnamon and Garlic does work. Red yeast rice also works, but you have to take a lot of it. If you only have high LDL that may be all you need.\n\nIf you also have high triglycerides, those will not help a lot. \n\nI have hyper triglyceride and taking Tricore.... but I do not like adding a bunch of dangerous chemicals into my body.\n\nI research this thoroughly and come up with a combination that works.\n\nSince no one put out this combination, I had to find the raw herbs and make my own capsules.\n\nThe combination is as follows:\n\n1 part Guggul\n1 part sage\n1 part red yeast rice\n1 part bilberry leaf\n1 part blueberry leaf\n\nI take two 500 mg capsules daily.\n\nHope this is helpful!

meg 7901 absolutely correct. Stop the sweets. Elevated triglycerides are often as serious as hdl<30, ldl>130, (estimates).

Diet and exercize, a 10% loss in weight can actually turn around insulin resistance and diabetes. But don't stop there it is something that you have to do the rest of your life. As far as diet portion sizes are very important and eat your veggies and fiber. I have seen this work with people I love.
