what is a good diet for someone who has diabetis and has to a low potassium diet?

What do you do when your diabetic diet conflicks drastically with your gout diet?

It is important to look at the fiber content of any food and choose the highest. Balance it out with low fat and calories. Carrots have a hi sugar content and I don't eat them as much. Low fat is important, but not as much as low carb & hi-fiber. Walking will take the edge off of hunger for me. Sugar feeds cancer and doesn't help the diabetic.

do you want to reduce your insuline with a least 50% in 6 months see this blog http://bit.ly/cR0dq5 mail me for more info.

for magloro - i take pravistat and my doc says it's ok to eat grapefruit with it.

One thing about grapefruit....those of us who are daibetic type 2 esp are often taking choleseterol lowering drugs...and for most of these drugs you should not eat grapefruit.

Dannon makes an awesome lowfat vanilla yogurt that has 3g of carbs, 0 added sugar & 45 calories. Granted, there's only 4 ozs in a cup, but it tastes delicious--I think of it as a dessert. I add fresh or frozen fruit (assorted berries).

I subscribe to this magazine and it is absolutely wonderful. Much better than Diabetes Forecast. Cut carbs, they are your true killer. By the way milk is a carb. I wish I could give you my list of do's and dont's, it is great!

I've done some reading on soy. Beware, it has drawbacks.

These foods are all delicious (and thanks for NOT mentioning bananas - I can't stand them). I also like some of the recipes below each "good" food. So this article was a real service. Being a diabetic can make you feel so deprived - I love ice cream, cheesecake and pies plus German chocolate cake. But with the foods you've offered, I can live very easily without any of the so-called "bad" foods, including the ones I listed above.

Stop that annoying pop up advertising the magazine and other products! I will not purchase the magazine because of its time consuming pop ups! I agree with those who would simply like a list of the power foods, maybe with simple notes regarding benefits under each.

I like the idea of a list you can print of the veggies,fruit etc. Like the power foods .

It would be helpful in teaching to correct portion sizes with a visual on your deliciously set up meals. A standard pack of playing cards with "healthy and happy" written on it next to the plate. Also, what size plate is used in all your displays would be helpful. I'm here to learn. I'm a visual person. TEACH ME like you would a child!

AT THE END OF A RECIPE,IN THE MAGIZINE,IN THE PER SERVING SECTION,WHAT IS MEANT BY CARB CHOICSE:2 etc...?

I would love to have this magazine ....is it available to Canada ?

your so right !!

I am 55 just came home from school!! I just wanted to know good food food to take and eat during classes to help my sugar and energy !! I did not need ads!!

If you are interested enough in this article you will go thru and read each slide show. They are very educational for a diabetic!!!

Could i just get the list so I can take it to the store and purchase those items? good thing I like all those things.

Please just give us the list! I don't have time at work to go through this! No internet at home.

The business reason for the slide-shows is to get you to load 22 pages, each time going to the very slow cdn.eyewonder.com advertising content servers to get another load of annoying advertising. You become a captive spam victim. This site has great data but hardly worth the irritation.

I agree. Stop the slide-shows.

stop with the slide shows! Just give us the list and why.

I add a shake or two of cinnamon to my morning coffee. I put cinnamon in my oatmeal or other cereal and with baked or stewed apples cinnamon adds a great flavor.

sjoanderson, please give examples of what you did with the cinnamon. I need to know that trick or suggestion. Thanks!

Please please give us a list or thumbnails When I bother to look at slidwshows at all probably 95% of the time I quit looking before the show is done because it takes so long

I am deaf and will be 64 yrs old this month and I found out I am a type 2 diabetic in March of 2009. I couldn't get into Diabetic classes, because they won't provide me interpreters. SO I did everything on my own and discovered a way to keep my sugar levels below 130. CINNAMON! ! ! I lost 60 lbs since March of 2009 and surprised my doctor!

need recipes for lo carb vegeterian meals. I do eat dairy and eggs

to make the list faster to read, go to print all at the top right hand side, it will then show all the pages at one time

I agree with the comments on showing a list of the items. Probably 95% of the time I quit looking before the show is done because it takes so long. This might be very valuable information.

I agree, it is so important to get good, solid information. I have a life to live and not much time to spend playing to get the information that will keep me healthy with diabetes. Great, commonsense information here, with enough facts to make it stick. Thanks.

Just found out I am diabetic. I am a 58 yr old woman. I want to do this right because I don't want any of the bad side effects of diabetes. I am searching for how to do this. It is confusing. I have been on WW many times and am doing that until I get a handle on this and know what to eat.

I would greatly prefer list form as well. I'm newly committed to taking this disease seriously, and will continue to need to manage all the other issues in my life. This is one area where I don't need marketing or humorous pictures to deliver the message. I'm ready to be compliant and need information. thank you.

Wish you could just put the 20 foods in a list instead of having us go from page to page for 20 times.

When I found out I was diabetic I thought my life was over my GP doctor told me I needed a doctor that delt with a lot of diabetics. I found a great one. I currently take byetta and meformin but I wasn't cursed with the side affects. I have lost about 55 lbs. over the last 6 years. Due to other health issues I need to lose about another 40ish lbs. What I have learned is that I can have A cookie not the whole box.

SUSANS 24 I have a great doctor. He has put me on the metformin and forwarned me of the nasty side effect. He is starting me out on 1 a day for a week then 2 then 3 then 4. He said there was no way my body could handle all at once. My main problem is my husband!! It is like nothing is wrong. My dad is a diabetic in fact this thing runs rampant though both sides of my family tree. (lucky me). Thanks for the encouraging words though. It is nice to talk to people who understand. Deedee

I do not have Diabetes. However, I am following this site's advice to lose weight. I lost 40 lbs last year by focusing on these 20 foods and stopped eating after 6:00 P.M. The Water Intake helped to curb the Hunger feelings.

I was doing so good with 100% until the last 4 three of which I do not eat!

For deedeespoo1: I found out about my diabetes one year ago today. I also had a really rough start, unhelpful dr's visits until I finally found one who I could work with, and lots of blood glucose bumps until I sorted out what works for me. Tons of diarrhea from metformin - but now it's all solved and I feel I can live my life with ease. I hope you perservere until you find the help you need. This is still my best source of information. Good luck! Susan20123

Why in the world would anyone say you can't have carrots?!?! While there are some reliable sources for diabetes care on the internet (and many, many who are not so current or reliable), you still should be educated by a Registered Dietitian or other Certified Diabetes Educator for your specific circumstances (check with your local hospital for programs). There are no foods that are "forbidden" but you should learn how much YOU need to eat. Very few people can do this on their own.

sambocat-not everyone is good at spelling or typing try to be a little less judgemental.

I too have been told to avoid carrots and now they are one of the 21 power foods? What gives? I'm new at this. I just found out on Thursday that I'm diabetic. Still trying to wrap my head around the news.

I don't need the magazine; I just wanted the LIST.......

Who ever wrote this misspelled the word snacks, it says snakes! Other than that I loved reading the recipes and plan to try some.

Eat eggs and apples for breakfast, Walnuts for snakes.Saleds for lunch. Chichen for dinner

From all the diabetic web sites i have studied, i read not to eat carrots. So now is ok to eat carrots?

As a type 2 I put vegetables and nuts in plain yogurt.avocado, sweet yellow bellpepper, tomatoes, cucumber and/or pecans or walnuts also a little olive oil.It satifies all your taste buds and doesn't make you crave foods inbetween meals.As a type 2 I really have to get creative for my own taste buds.bake your salmon (double foil top and bottom) fork it then squeeze lemon juice or spicier put some olive oil then cajun powder, cook at 325 for about 35 minutes for two servings.

There is no diabetic diet. I have the diabetic book from the mayo clinic. You may want to check the mayo clinic site.

Protein is an important nutrient the body needs to repair muscle tissure.Please have him contact his physician whose nurse should be able to provide him with the proper information or ask the doctor about scheduling an appoint with a Registered Dietician who can provide him with the proper dietary guidelines that pertain to his illness, lifestyle, ability to eat etc... Different cancer patients have different nutritional needs. Also liquid supplements may be an option.

My husband has Type 2. My problem is I can cook the right foods, but he insists on eating more than he is allowed. Says he is always hungary. He feels so bad all the time, what can I do? I try not to have left overs, but most recipes are for more than 2. (They also use stuff I can't afford) Any suggestions for my part, or is it only up to him?

to charree329 - go to the american cancer society website for help. healthy.living@messages.cancer.org I get their newsletters and they have lots of useful information for all of us.

My brother-in-law has cancer. Any suggestions or recipes that could help him would be very much appreciated. Also, any additional advice would be welcomed as well. Thank you!

I am just looking for a list of foods that I can plan my meals from as a diabetic. I just keep getting 1 site that leads me to another site and all I want is a list of foods that I can make my own meals from.

As a chef recently diagnosed with diabetes I am always looking for recipes to add to my book I have found so many in recent weeks that I think there will be enough to keep me going without repeats.I am also changing the way I cater for the public by using many low fat recipes .......they never realise this change so at least I am working to help them too LOL

I have type 2 diabetes and want to know how I can gain muscle mass without making my condition worse. I've bee weight training consistently for 1 year, 3-4 times a week and have been eating healty, but i'm having a difficult time adding muscle mass.

Hi my name is sylvia and I just recieved your magazine and I loved it, but I have a statement for you, I'm what some people call a poor mexican, and yes I'm a dibetic, and I can't afford some of the foods that it takes to maintain my sugars, and I also have a disable son and a handicaped daughter, and all my time goes towards them, if you have any ideas to help me I would glady appreciate it so much.

As a diabetic who has contol issues this magazine would help me control my health and give me ideas for cooking.

I am from Canada, and would like to get the offer you advertise (1 year free if I buy one year) to your magazine "Diabetic Living". I prefer to telephone a toll free number to order. Do you have one and can I order at this special price?
