Is a Raw Vegan Diet healthful for diabetes and high blood pressure?
Is a raw vegan diet healthful over a long period of time, especially with diabetes and high blood pressure? I am trying to switch to a raw vegan diet, but my dietitian insists it is not healthful. Has anybody here tried it long-term, or know anybody who has? I’m wanting to lose a lot of weight, and I’ve been making a lot of salads, with cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, green bell peppers, celery, onions, carrots … and then I pour on a bunch of vinegar and lemon juice. It’s tasty, nutritious, and very low-calorie. It seems to be working for me, but my dietitian isn’t happy. And I didn’t even tell you what my primary care physician thinks about my decision to quit all my diabetes and blood pressure medications and just rely on a raw vegan diet instead of the meds … except that I’m going to have to find another primary care physician.
I have heard of people curing diabetes and high blood pressure with a raw food diet. I am not raw myself (though I have played with recipes, and incorporated some things like green smoothies into my daily life), but I have met several long-term raw foodists who have overcome illnesses including diabetes, allergies, eczema, and even one who beat cancer – and all are very healthy now and off of all medications. One book I would highly suggest is ‘Eat to Live’ by Joel Fuhrman – it is primarily raw food, and addresses the issues of diabetes and high blood pressure. He also has articles about this and many other topics on his website, and he is available for consultations if you want him to create a plan for you to get off your medications. (but I wouldn’t just go cold turkey on your medications – your body will need time to adjust and gradually wean yourself off of them). check out these links:

http://creativehealthinstitute.com/ – the creative health institute has a fairly inexpensive two-week residential program that teaches you all aspects of how to live and eat raw. I know people who have done this program and had great experiences with it.
good luck!

Case study- Diabetes/athletes diets?
Well, I’m doing a case study on menu planning. My case study has a family who has a diabetic, and an athlete. Obviously, the athlete needs to consume extra carbs, but how could I accompany this with a diabetic who cannot consume as much carbs in order to avoid high blood pressure?
Interesting.
Is the diabetic a type 1 or a type 2? This would be very telling.
Also, in your case study. What kind of carbs is the athlete consuming?
Some carbs do not trigger a high insulin response, which would be bad for a diabetic.
Some carbs do trigger high insulin, which would be not good for an athlete who needs steady energy for work outs and recovery time.
Both a diabetic and an athlete need to be eating high fiber choices, so they are not as different as one might think.
One has to consume more calories to keep up with working out and muscle gain and the other doesn’t need as much if not that active.
What is cutting edge information is "low glycemic" eating. It is the way our ancestors ate and has been shown to reverse type 2 diabetes and improve the quality of life for type 1 diabetics.
Athletes do better on low glycemic eating.
Google "low glycemic eating chart" on Google.com You will find out if your diabetic is eating high or low glycemic which will give you a very revealing answer as to why they became a type 2 diabetic in the first place.
It will also reveal that if the athlete is not taking in low glycemic food choices and a lot of high glycemic food choices, then the athlete is setting up heart disease risk or diabetes later in life.
Both the diabetic and the athlete should be eating low glycemic and the only difference if practicing low glycemic eating, is that the athlete should be eating more calories and diabetic would then no longer be insulin dependent and recover.

What is the best diet to prevent Diabetes?
Diabetes runs very strong in my family. My grandmother had her leg amputated because of it and now my mother has it. Is there a good strict diet or eating plan out there so that I can lower my chances of getting it? Ive already started monitoring my blood sugar on a daily basis. Im only 21 and so its better to start young. I want a long, happy and healthy life.
Assuming it is TYPE 2 diabetes that runs in your family (Type 1 is the rarer "severe" kind that is not preventable):
-Eat small frequent meals with lean protein, non startchy veggies, good fats like oilve oil, and lots of fibre. Limit your carbs, fast acting sugars, and fatty meats. Eat fish daily (i.e. wild salmon). If you want carbs, eat oats, beans, and brown rice.
-Eliminate trans fats (found in many processed foods), high fructose corn syryp (found in soft drinks), and junk/fast food. Don’t keep processed food in the house, and try to eat as "natural" as possible. Things like crackers are manmade and not always as healthy as we think. Many cracker brands have trans fats. A better choice for a snack would be a handful of nuts, some low fat cheese, and a few stalks of celery with natral peanut butter or a few grapes.
-Fruit has fibre and is *generally* fine, although some fruit like bananas are high glycemic and do raise the blood sugar quite fast. Don’t avoid fruit, just don’t make it your main course of a meal. DO avoid fruit juices, which are usually loaded with sugars and carbs, and lack fibre. Have actual real fruit instead.
You should actually try and exercise 45 min, 5 days per week. The more you move, the better. Walk everywhere.
Do note that some cases of Type 2 diabetes tend to run very strong in families, and there is always a chance that you may still develop it strictly due to genetics. But the good news is:
-If you do end up developing Type 2 diabetes, you will be able to control it better and stay healthier if you follow a healthy lifestyle.
-The *vast majority* of Type 2 diabetes cases can be prevented or at least delayed into old age with proper lifestyle choices. So the odds are in your favor. Often the reason why Type 2 diabetes runs in families has more to due with a shared *lifestyle* than genetics only.
Either way, we ALL need to follow a healthy lifestyle to stay healthy period, diabetes or not.
Good luck and congrats for being proactive with your health! It will serve you well in the long run no matter what!

Does anyone know a good site for diabetes diet?
Me and my husband have type 2 diabetes. I’ve had it for 7 yrs, my husband has had it for 2 weeks. Mine is under control but my husband’s is not. It’s getting better but we would like to lose some weight. Please help….
Diet plays a significant role in controlling the diabetes. The diabetic diet may be used alone or else in combination with insulin doses or with oral hypoglycemic drugs. Main objective of diabetic diet is to maintain ideal body weight, by providing adequate nutrition along with normal blood sugar levels in blood. The diet plan for a diabetic is based on height, weight, age, sex, physical activity and nature of diabetes. While planning diet, the dietician has to consider complications such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels.
http://www.helpondiabetes.com/DiabetesDiet.php
With respect to the above factors, a dietician will assess calories to be given, like scheming the carbohydrates, proteins, fats, type of carbohydrate, amount of fiber and so on.
http://diabetescorner.blogspot.com
Exchange meal plan is a diet program which balances the amount of carbohydrate that we intake per day. Glucose is a sugar released from carbohydrate so if we want to control blood sugar we have to limit the consumption of simple carbohydrate. Carbohydrate foods are given as value per portion, known as the exchange. This plan helps us to decide on the type of food to be taken, the amount of food and also the time to eat. You can plan for more flexible meal as you get more knowledge about the diet of a diabetic, may be like the counting carbohydrate meal plan or constant carbohydrate. But there is no common diet that works for everyone. Nor is there any particular diet that works perfectly for any diabetic over a long period. While planning diabetes diet we should adhere to certain important factors, they are as follows:
Fiber should be at least 40 gm / day
Instead of 3 heavy meals, we should go for 4-5 small mid intervals
Replace bakery products and fast foods by simple whole cooked cereals, and don’t eat carbohydrates 2 hours before bedtime
Consume fresh fruit and vegetables at least 5 exchange/ day
Diabetics must always need to take care of thier diet and also about the food they eat. Care has to be taken because all foods contain not only carbohydrate, but also some energy value. Protein and fat available in the food are converted to glucose in the body. This glucose has some effect on the blood sugar level which has to be taken care. Furthermore there is no need that you have to eat only bland boring diet. Instead you have to eat more fruits, vegetables and whole grains. It means that to select foods that are high in nutrition and low in calories and fat.
