Diabetic Care Plan

Adopting a diet and lifestyle that are enjoyable for you can prevent or at least slow complications from diabetes.

Diabetes cannot be cured but it can be successfully controlled. People with diabetes have a high level of glucose in their blood. This can be caused by:

• Too little insulin being produced by the pancreas
• Your body not accepting or using the insulin it produces
• A combination of both.

Whether you have been diagnosed with type 1, type 2 or gestational diabetes, your overall goals for managing the disease are the same.

• Keep blood glucose levels within the normal range or as close to normal as possible. This can prevent or reduce complications.
• Reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke. People with diabetes are at risk for both. Keep blood pressure within normal levels and achieve healthy cholesterol levels.

Diabetes can be controlled through a structured diet and nutrition plan. Because no two people are alike, approaches to managing diabetes must be tailored to each person. Also the plan needs to take into consideration your medical history, lifestyle and food preferences.

Your customized diabetic care plan will be charted, taking into consideration various factors including:

Controlling intake of high glycaemic index food: Depending on your blood sugar levels, you may need to avoid this completely or control this at all times.

Planning food intake at regular intervals to avoid hypoglycaemia: This involves behaviour change and eating after every 2 hours helps in avoiding fluctuations in blood sugar levels.

Increase intake of fiber rich foods: Intake of rich fiber food ensures availability of complex carbohydrates in the body. This helps in maintaining blood sugar levels in the body.
