Whatever be the case the result is glucose build up in the blood which is not available for the body cells for energy. If not managed well over a period of time it might lead to a number of diabetes complications like atherosclerosis and other heart problems, eye problems, kidney problems, nerve problems and healing problems. Sadly this disorder can not be expelled out of the system but with proper monitoring and care a person with diabetes can live a healthy and happy life. The main goal for diabetes treatment is following a regime which has three corner stones - diet, medications and exercise.



If you learn to 'control' your diabetes then probably you can eliminate all the symptoms of diabetes. Before getting started it is important to talk to your specialist about the changes in your regime.

Diet - No matter how much you exercise or pop your pills on time, if your diet is not supporting then you can never manage your blood sugar levels. Every person's diet is tailored to fit its lifestyle and requirements.



If you are above your ideal body weight then try to shed some pounds. Obesity not only makes the management of diabetes difficult but is also related to other life threatening diseases like heart diseases, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and stroke. The amount of calories a person requires will largely depend on the age, sex, activity pattern and current body weight. However a proper choice of nutrients when made can make life and diet much simpler.



Starting with carbohydrates - choose complex carbohydrates like whole fresh fruits and vegetables, whole cereals and grains, pulses and legumes over table sugar, refined grains, fruit juices, carbonated beverages, sweetened drinks, colas and sodas. This will not only take care of your good carbohydrates but also fulfill the fiber requirement. Have proteins and fats in moderation, type is particularly important. For example fats from a steamed fish are very good but from a bakery item is not the one which you really need.



Also egg yolk, red meat and shelled fish like prawns, crabs, lobster have high cholesterol content which can be simply avoided.
