Healthier (but easy) recipes/lifestyle ideas that might prevent type 2 diabetes?
My mom just got home and told me she’s a few points short of getting type 2 diabetes, and that she needs to change her diet (which isn’t that hard for me to believe seeing all the fats and carbs we eat).
But we obviously want to prevent it from getting any worse than it is, so are there any recipes you’d recomend?
Low cholesterol, low saturated fat, lean meat, fruits veggies, avoid starch-y foods, low sugar, I dunno, things like that?
Neither of us have much experience with this, so please, if I’m being ridiculous don’t go too hard on me.
Websites, recipes, experience- any of these are welcome.
good point, thanks. they said her cholesterol was way too high.
A few points of what? It does make something of a difference. If they’re just saying “your weight means you’re at risk” that may not always be accurate. Some insurance programs are paid extra to over-diagnose these things as part of “prevention” methods, so they can be quick to slap labels on people who are perfectly healthy.
If, on the other hand, they’re saying “your blood sugar and insulin response is just on the borderline of being declared type 2 diabetes” then you might as well just assume that she actually has it already, because sometimes you can be experiencing symptoms even if you don’t quite qualify for an official diagnosis.
UK government regulations say that a type2diabetes patient should eat MORE starchy food, not less. Avoid really sugary foods or really fatty foods, eat lots of whole-grain, eat lots of vegetables, eat lots of fibre. And exercise. Ideally, though, your doctor should give you some guidelines. I have a relative with diabetes and they gave him a whole chart with foods to avoid, foods to moderate, foods to eat more of.
Good luck!
