DIABETES AND LIFESTYLE CHANGES

Diabetic diet is not a matter of deprivation or avoidance but of healthy eating habits. Genetic susceptibility appears to play a powerful role in the occurrence of type 2 DM, but the current epidemic likely reflects marked changes in lifestyle. Decreased physical activity and increased energy consumption have together promoted obesity, which is a strong risk factor for diabetes.

Nutrition is an integral component of prevention, delayed onset and management of diabetes.

Goals of diabetes management:

· Provide a nutritionally sound meal

· Attain and maintain blood glucose levels in the normal range as far as possible

· To attain and maintain desirable weight

· To maintain healthy levels of blood fat i.e.cholestrol and triglycerides

· To prevent long term complications of diabetes

Healthy eating;

· 60% of the calories should come from carbohydrates

· 12%-20% from protein

· 20% -35% from fats

· Food should be distributed equally throughout the day

· Choose foods from all food groups in all major meals

· Choose foods high in fiber as it slows digestion and gives a feeling of satiety

· Total fat and saturated fat should be limited, some amount of fat is essential for important body functions and it also helps slow gastric emptying.

· Whole grains should be chosen over refined cereals like sooji, sago, white bread, maida

· Whole dals have a very low GI index and should be included daily

EXERCISE:

· Exercise helps diabetics lower blood glucose

· It helps the body use insulin better

· Exercising helps one control weight, develop lean muscle and reduce body fat

· Maintain adequate level of physical activity so as to achieve fitness and a negative energy balance

· 30 to 45 min of brisk walk daily is recommended
