I am diagnosed type 1 diabetes
My age: 32 wt: 50 ht 5.5
What should be the diet? Please suggest.

Question

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. I have seen the details given, following are my observations: To suggest a diet I need to know: 1) Fasting, PP glucose levels & HbA1c%, 2) Your present dietary pattern and extent of daily exercise and overall physical activty done. Without those details I can not suggest a diet specific to you. Generally a person with diabetes shoud avoid sweets, deep fried foods, pastries, bakery items and foods amde from maida. Consume a good deal of green leafy vegetables with every meal, should also take some fruits. Total caloric intake has to be based on ideal body weight, physical activity and glucose levels. Avoid smoking and drinking. Thanks.
