Type II Diabetes and Diabetic Diet Planning
By Amjad Islam Khan

Type II diabetes makes up to 95 percent of patients having diabetes. In this type, the pancreas produce insulin, but the body is unable to use it properly. Type II diabetes typically has a gradual onset, appearing in adults around the age of 30, and sometimes in younger person. It is usually not utmost necessary to take insulin injections (unlike Type I where it is imperative as pancreas do not produce any insulin in this type). Type II diabetes can often be managed through a proper diet and exercise alone. Very often, a prescription drug is taken to help the body properly manage sugar levels.

Warning signs include blurred vision, drowsiness, excessive weight gain, numbness in the hands or feet and slow healing of cuts/wounds.

Salient features of a diabetic diet planning

  • The diabetic diet planning relies upon the proper proportion of carbohydrates to proteins and fats.
  • The diet needs to provide some dietary fat to help prevent post-meal spikes in blood sugar levels. However, saturated fats should be limited to reduce the risk of heart disease.
  • Protein should be kept to 20% or less of daily calories in order to prevent or delay the onset of diabetic kidney disease
  • The target of a diabetic diet is to achieve and maintain recommended blood glucose levels (70-140 mg/dl), cholesterol levels (200 mg/dl or less), and blood pressure (120/80 mm Hg).
  • Weight loss is often beneficial for people with type II diabetes. Mild to moderate weight loss is known to help control this type of diabetes significantly, even if the desirable body weight is not achieved. Losing 7 to 15 kgs of excess weight results in significant improvement in respect to the goals listed above. Weight loss may even help to reduce the dosage of anti diabetic medication.
