okay, so i'm on this severe diet. i'm not explaining it here, but l visit a DR for it, so it is all good. he told me l was retaining water, because l eat ALOT of salt. so he gave me a B-50 pill to take in the morning and at night. l took it, and last night l had the worst migriane of my life. l threw up twice and popped blood vessels under my eyes. was this jsut because of the intenseness of the headache ? or a side effect of B-50.

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 & nature of diabetes. While planning diet, the dietician has to consider complications such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels.

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 & so on.

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 r 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 & also the time to eat. You can plan for more flexible meal as u 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 r 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 & fast foods by simple whole cooked cereals, & do not eat carbohydrates 2 hours before bedtime
*
Consume fresh fruit & vegetables at least 5 exchange/ day

Diabetics must always need to take care of thier diet & also about the food they eat. Care has to be taken because all foods contain not only carbohydrate, but also some energy value. Protein & fat available in the food r 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 u have to eat only bland boring diet. Instead u have to eat more fruits, vegetables & whole grains. It means that to select foods that r high in nutrition & low in calories & fat.
