Keterangan

Diet management in people with diabetes (PWD) is crucial for maintaining optimal blood glucose levels and overall health. It involves monitoring carbohydrate intake to prevent spikes in blood sugar and choosing complex carbohydrates over simple sugars. Including a variety of fiber-rich foods such as vegetables, fruits, and whole grains helps in slowing glucose absorption. Lean proteins and healthy fats are essential for balanced nutrition and sustaining energy levels. Portion control and regular meal timing aid in stabilizing blood sugar levels throughout the day. Additionally, limiting processed foods and sugary beverages can significantly reduce the risk of hyperglycemia

  • Dietary management is crucial for diabetes, with recent advances focusing on remission in type 2 diabetes. Personalized nutrition and counseling can significantly reduce HbA1c levels. A key dietary guideline involves food sequencing, prioritizing fiber first, followed by proteins, and then carbohydrates.
  • Holistic health, as defined by the WHO, encompasses physical, mental, social, and spiritual well-being. Physical health comprises nutrition, exercise, sleep, and habits. Fiber helps eliminate toxins, aiding in body detoxification, and should be the first in your meal sequence.
  • Proper nutrition plays a vital role in managing diabetes, with proper personalized nutrition counseling leading to reduction in HbA1c levels. Proper nutrition requires qualified nutritionists and adherence to dietary guidelines such as food sequencing.
  • Healthy fats, especially omega-3 fatty acids, are essential for reducing oxidative stress and insulin resistance. Proteins are vital for building blocks, therefore protein should be part of your every meal like breakfast, lunch and dinner because proteinic index helps satiety. Carbohydrates should be taken in lower quantities in combination with proteins. Hydration is critical for maintaining bodily functions and should be prioritized.
