Controlling Your Diabetes with Diet as a natural diabetes treatment

In order to achieve normal metabolism in diabetic patients, some form of dietary measures are always recommended.
The main aims of diet control are listed below:
1. Avoid hyperglycemia
2. Minimize fluctuations in blood glucose levels and reduce overall blood glucose
3. Achieve weight reduction in obese patients to reduce insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia
4. Avoid hypoglycemia and weight gains that are commonly associated with drugs such as insulin
5. Avoid diets that may aggravate diabetic symptoms. For example, diabetic nephropathy may become acute in case of a high protein diet. These diets are known as atherogenic diets in medical parlance.
Two broad classifications of diet used in the treatment of diabetes are low energy weight reducing diets and weight maintenance diets. In the case of obese patients, a diet with low refined carbohydrate, high unrefined carbohydrate and less total energy content would result in increased insulin sensitivity and consequent decline in blood glucose.
