Given below is a model diet (1500-1600 calories) for the whole day: 1. Early morning: 1 cup of non-sweetened milk, 1 cup of tea or coffee (with sachharine), 1 slice of bread or 2 puries or 2 khakras or 1 idli. 2. Mid-morning: 1 cup of buttermilk or some fruit. 3. Lunch: 2 small chapaties (with 1 teaspoon ghee), 1 cup of cooked vegetable, 1 cup of dal (cooked pulse), Salad of raw 'type A' vegetables, 1 cup of buttermilk or curd. 4. Afternoon : 1 cup tea or coffee (with sachharine), 2 'slices of bread or 2 - 3 non-sweet biscuits. 5. Dinner : 1 cup of boiled rice or khichri (with 1 teaspoon ghee), 1 cup of dal or curry (flour-free), 1 cup of cooked vegetable, Salad of raw 'type A' vegetables, 1 cup butter milk or curd. 6. Before retiring: 3/4 to 1 cup of non-sweetened milk. Notes: (1 ) Developing children, pregnant women or ual workers may need more food; obese persons should consume less food. (2) Non-vegetarians can have an egg-omlette in the - ast or meat (or fish) in a meal; but they should cut down ount of other foods proportionately. ( 4) Considering the fact that the size of chapaties or containers (katori or wati) is different in different homes, a diabetic should initially (for a few days) weigh his diet, to make certain that he does not exceed stipulated calories. Sweetening agents to be used instead of sugar: Such sweetening agents include sachharine, fructose and sorbitol. Of these, sachharine is preferable since it has no nutritional value. It is about 350 times sweeter than sugar. It is available in the market in tablet or liquid forms. It should be noted that sachharine should not be added to food while cooking because extreme heat disintegrates it to create a very disagreeable and bitter taste. It shou Id be added to foods after they have been cooked and while they are cooling.

thanks for sharing this. i've read about the wonders of cinnamon in treating diabetes a few months ago. i recommended this to my mom who has type 2 diabetes, and guess what? her latest A1C revealed normal values! i couldn't believe it, it's totally amazing!

Thanks for this Kathy. I will tell my brother. He seems to have inherited it from mother. I need to keep an eye on myself and this will really help.

Wow first time I have heard about this I hope this study would be proven true so that I could add this as aprt of my diet.

i am a diabetic and i am using diabecinn.www.diabecinn.co.za it worked wonders for me so check out this web page

Thank you so much for this information. My father-in-law has type 2 diabetes and so does his brother and so did his dad. So it runs thickly on my husbands side of the family. I make sure my husband gets checked at least every other year while he is young. This is wonderful to hear that this simple thing to do may help prevent the disease.

I'm a diabetic and I take 2 capsules(500 mg) of cinnamon a day to help keep my blood sugar down. I didn't know it would help prevent type 2 diabetes. Wish I had known earlier then I may not have developed this horrid disease. Evidently it works as I have been able to cut down on my medication since using cinnamon. I would suggest the use of cinnamon to everyone, diabetic or not. Best of health Kowgirl

This would be great, can you imagine, something that has been around the house forever being so benificial to our health. Going to keep my eye on this as diabetes runs in my family.

Thank you for the tip. I didn't know cinnamon was good for type II diabetics. I am going to start using it daily.
