MAKE DIETARY CHANGES >>>NOW

· Avoid refined sugar and all refined and simple carbohydrates.
· Avoid hydrogenated and partially-hydrogenated oils.
· Allergy elimination is sometimes useful: Avoiding gluten grains and dairy commonly makes blood sugar easier to control. Testing for and eliminating common allergens is often a good idea.
· Increase fiber from vegetables and legumes: Vegetables contain antioxidants and fiber helps improve blood sugar control.
· Find and eliminate hidden food sensitivities: Finding hidden allergens often improves control of blood sugar.

Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM) Priorities:

1. The patient must consume adequate calories to maintain desirable weight.
2. Meal times and the composition of the diet must be consistent from day-to-day, with the carbohydrate content fairly evenly divided from meal-to-meal.
3. Simple carbohydrates must be limited to 10% to 15% of total calories.
4. Depending upon the insulin regimen, a bedtime snack may help prevent nocturnal hypoglycemia; midmorning and midafternoon snacks must be taken if needed, to match the food intake to the peak insulin action.
5. Food must be taken to correct hypoglycemic episodes.
6. Food and fluids must be taken for periods of increased physical activity and during illness.
7. Suggest modifications in the diet for hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and/or renal insufficiency if present.
8. If obese, the patient must follow a program to reduce weight (persons with IDDM are usually not obese).
