What it Takes to Control Blood Sugar in Type 2 Diabetes
According to the Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology Journal, “there is not an optimal percentage of calories from carbohydrates, proteins, and fats for all people with or at risk of diabetes. Dietary therapy should be
individualized, taking into consideration the current "eating patterns, preferences, and metabolic goals of individuals.”
What are the general guidelines for people to avoid diabetes and obesity?
Eating acceptable portion sizes aid weight loss goals. Also, choosing non-starchy vegetables and whole fresh foods over processed and fried meals. Another key factor to control diabetes and obesity is to avoid added sugars and refined grains.
Can we reverse Type 2 Diabetes?
Observational findings were recorded after 30 years of follow-up from the beginning of the original 6-year study, showing that lifestyle intervention (diet, exercise, or both) postponed the development of diabetes in people with reduced glucose tolerance by almost 4 years, leading to a substantial decrease in cardiovascular and microvascular complications and an improvement in life expectancy.
7-10% of weight loss based on professional nutrition and lifestyle interventions had a huge role in the remission of type 2 diabetes.
