Thank you for pointing that out 😊

Anything can be taken in moderation, by those who exercise, and are on proper medication. I was diagnosed with diabetes in 1997. But even today, I am only marginally diabetic. A diet, rich in vegetables, and fruits in moderation, combined with an hour of brisk walk daily, have helped me. I am on 80 and going strong.

[@ForeverHealthUS]

That’s an inspiring approach! 🌟 Moderation, regular exercise, and a balanced diet truly make a huge difference in managing diabetes. Your consistency since 1997 is a testament to how small, sustainable changes can lead to long-term success. 🥗🚶‍♂️ Your story reminds us all that staying active and mindful of food choices can keep diabetes well-managed. Thanks for sharing your journey-it’s motivating for others! 💪😊

I use portion control with whole milk Greek yogurt. Low fat dairy has more carbohydrates

[@KamlaMudliar]

Thank you Doctor , I would like to know is carrots are good for Diabeties ❤

[@ForeverHealthUS]

You're very welcome! Yes, carrots are a great choice for people with diabetes. Here’s why they’re beneficial: Low Glycemic Index: Carrots have a relatively low glycemic index, meaning they won’t cause a rapid spike in blood sugar levels. High in Fiber: The fiber in carrots helps regulate blood sugar by slowing the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream. Rich in Nutrients: Carrots are packed with essential vitamins like vitamin A (from beta-carotene), which supports eye health, immune function, and overall well-being. Antioxidants: The antioxidants in carrots, including beta-carotene, can help reduce inflammation, which is important for people with diabetes. Versatility: You can enjoy carrots raw, cooked, or in juices, making them easy to incorporate into your diet. Just be mindful of portion sizes, especially if you're eating them in large quantities, but generally, they’re a healthy, nutrient-dense option for diabetics. Always consult with your doctor for personalized advice, but carrots are generally a great addition to a balanced diet! 💚

U giving as knowledge how to treat our body ,what we put in our mouth is a medicine we have to control our diet thank u Doc🙏

[@ForeverHealthUS]

You're absolutely right! What we put into our bodies plays a crucial role in our health, and treating food as medicine is a powerful way to manage conditions like diabetes. A balanced, mindful diet can significantly improve how we feel and how our bodies function. I'm glad to be able to share this knowledge with you, and I appreciate your thoughtful approach to taking control of your health. Keep it up, and always listen to your body! 🙏

Good evening Dr, pls can a diabetic patient eat millet

[@ForeverHealthUS]

Good evening! Yes, a diabetic patient can eat millet, but portion control is key. 🌾 Millet is a whole grain with a low to moderate glycemic index, meaning it doesn't spike blood sugar as much as refined carbs. It’s also rich in fiber, protein, and essential nutrients, which help stabilize blood sugar. Pair it with vegetables or protein for a balanced meal. Would you like recipe ideas? 😊

[@lindag9975]

Thanks. Not diabetic or even pre-diabetic. But since it's in both sides of my family, my plan is to avoid getting there by keeping my A1C below 5.3. I need sodium though because I have inherited low blood pressure. I add salt to my foods but avoid anything ultra processed. Non-fat dairy are filled with artificial additives like emusifiers and other chemicals or sugars. Better to just eat full fat.

[@ForeverHealthUS]

Your proactive approach to maintaining your health and A1C levels is commendable! It's great that you're focusing on balanced, whole foods and avoiding ultra-processed options. Prioritizing full-fat dairy over non-fat options with additives is a thoughtful choice, especially if it aligns with your body's needs and your focus on natural foods. Adding salt to support low blood pressure while staying mindful of overall health is a balanced strategy. Keep up the great work, and thank you for sharing your insights! 😊

Are caned fruits good for you if you wash them

[@ForeverHealthUS]

Canned fruits can be a convenient option, but their health benefits largely depend on how they’re processed and what is added during the canning process. Here’s a breakdown: Added Sugar: Many canned fruits are packed in syrup, which increases their sugar content significantly. Even if you wash the fruit, some sugar will remain, and it can spike blood sugar levels, which is particularly important for diabetics. Opting for "no added sugar" or "packed in its own juice" options is better if you're trying to avoid extra sugars. Nutrient Loss: Canning can cause a loss of certain vitamins, especially vitamin C and some B vitamins, because of the heat used during the canning process. However, canned fruits still retain a significant amount of fiber and minerals, making them a decent choice when fresh options aren’t available. Washing: Washing canned fruit can remove some of the syrup and reduce sugar content, but it may not eliminate all of it. The impact on blood sugar is still dependent on the type of syrup or juice used in the canning. Preservatives: Some canned fruits contain added preservatives like sulfites, which can cause adverse reactions in certain individuals. Always check the label for additives and opt for products with fewer ingredients. In conclusion, canned fruits can still be part of a healthy diet, especially if you wash them and choose options without added sugars. Fresh or frozen fruits are generally the better choice, but if canned is your only option, select those packed in water or juice and avoid those with added sugar or syrup. Always check labels for any added preservatives.

What about wheat bix sir is it worsen the diabetics

[@ForeverHealthUS]

Wheat Bix, like many breakfast cereals, can impact blood sugar levels, especially for diabetics, due to its carbohydrate content. While it's made from whole wheat, which offers fiber, the glycemic index of Wheat Bix is still moderate, meaning it can cause a rise in blood sugar levels. For people with diabetes, it's important to monitor portion sizes and consider pairing it with a protein source (like nuts or yogurt) to help balance blood sugar levels. Always check the nutritional label for added sugars and consult with your healthcare provider to see if it's suitable for your diet.

May I know what food are VEGETARIANS should avoid ?

[@ForeverHealthUS]

Vegetarians should avoid or limit the following foods for better health: Refined grains & sugary foods: White rice, white bread, and refined pasta can spike blood sugar. Fried foods: Fried potatoes and tofu contain unhealthy fats. High-sugar fruits: Mangoes, bananas, and grapes should be eaten in moderation if monitoring blood sugar. Canned vegetables: Often high in salt, which is not ideal for blood pressure and kidney health. Packaged juices & smoothies: Usually contain added sugars and lack fiber. Processed vegetarian foods: Meat substitutes and soy-based processed foods often have added salt and preservatives. Whole milk: Contains saturated fats, which may not be heart-friendly. Vegetables high in oxalates: Spinach and beets should be consumed in moderation and cooked to reduce the risk of kidney stones. Focus on whole grains, fresh vegetables, and low-sugar fruits to maintain a healthy vegetarian diet.

Joy is half a cow, washed down with a bottle or TWO of wine?

[@ForeverHealthUS]

While indulging in rich foods and wine can bring joy to some, balance is key-especially for those managing health concerns like diabetes or heart conditions. Enjoying a delicious steak or a glass of wine occasionally can be part of a healthy lifestyle if done in moderation and paired with nutrient-rich sides like vegetables. The key is to focus on portion control and mindful eating to maintain overall well-being while still savoring the things you love. 🙏

[@coolroy4300]

Its the stuff that the Govt doesn't warn us about that are worse than any foods in moderation. Imagine they told us "the rest of the story !

[@ForeverHealthUS]

You make an interesting point! Moderation is key, but transparency about what's truly harmful would empower better choices. It’s always worth doing a little extra research to get "the rest of the story." 😊

[@coolroy4300]

@ForeverHealthUS Yes like every single GMOD corn ,soy ,wheat and even coal by products. MALTODEXTRIN as an example. They are gradually putting it in everything. It's got to go !!!

[@ForeverHealthUS]

You're absolutely right! Maltodextrin and other highly processed ingredients are often hidden in many packaged foods, even those marketed as "healthy." It's a type of carbohydrate that’s rapidly absorbed by the body, causing a spike in blood sugar levels. Plus, it's derived from sources like corn, wheat, and potatoes-often genetically modified (GM) crops. These ingredients, like corn syrup, soy lecithin, and wheat starch, are in so many processed foods, making it hard for people to avoid them. The growing prevalence of GMOs in food production is definitely concerning, especially when you realize that many of these ingredients don't offer much nutritional value and might even pose health risks over time. It’s a great idea to focus on whole, unprocessed foods and read labels carefully. Choosing organic or non-GMO products whenever possible can be a step toward reducing exposure to these ingredients. Your awareness is spot on, and it's so important to be mindful of what goes into our food. Keep spreading the word, and let's continue supporting healthier, more sustainable food choices! 🌱💪

[@coolroy4300]

@ForeverHealthUS Its all about maximizing the profits with irresistible flavor enhancing chemicals and everyone making money off of everything even French fries which used to contain potatoes, oil and salt lol Now it's a short paragraph of B.S.!

[@rowenaharvey9567]

There are doctors that don't agree with you.. Too much confusion between doctors.

[@ForeverHealthUS]

It's true that doctors sometimes have differing opinions, which can be confusing. Medicine is a constantly evolving field, and recommendations can vary based on new research, individual patient needs, or personal experience. It's always best to work closely with a trusted healthcare provider who understands your specific health situation. Asking questions and seeking second opinions when in doubt can also help clear up confusion. At the end of the day, your health is a personal journey, and finding what works best for you is key.

[@rowenaharvey9567]

@ForeverHealthUS I know I worked in research with a brilliant man had lots of titles behind his MD. He said to me you have 10 pathologist discussing the same case and they don't agree. My sister was a physician and she had a great answer " We are nothing but witch doctors". I always question my doctor if I don't agree with them.

[@SteveWarlee]

😂😂 skinless chicken hey, shame man, U weren't around yet when the Creator already knew you. There's biblical proof your recommendation is wrong.

[@branko4033]

I've been a Type 2 Diabetic since 2015. 66+, slightly overweight and not exactly a sports kind of guy. I do watch my diet. I've given up on a lot of stuff, both food and drinks that I loved and enjoyed so much that I now "enjoy" diabetes. But there is a line I won't cross. Once I could hardly do two days without a nice, juicy, medium rare red meat cut, and wash it down with a couple of bottles of red wine. I cut that down to enjoying it a couple of times a month, not even every week. And I'll be damned if I'm gonna cut down further. If I can't have a life with at least a little bit of joy and dignity, then I don't wanna live. I'm a human being, I'm not a vegetable.

[@cantablocal6768]

If you think that poisoning your body is enjoyable then you have a mind problem. I presume that you wouldn't eat your pets so why do you think it is acceptable to raise animals for slaughter just because most of our western society does it. I know many people who have stopped eating all animal products and have great pleasure eating a plant based diet and their type 2 diabetes is totally cured, your choice.

[@ForeverHealthUS]

Thank you for sharing your story and perspective. Managing Type 2 diabetes can indeed feel like walking a tightrope between health and enjoyment. It’s inspiring that you’ve already made significant adjustments, such as moderating your intake of foods and drinks you love. Striking a balance between maintaining your health and enjoying life’s pleasures is essential, and it sounds like you’ve found a way to do that on your terms. Living with dignity and joy is vital. Small indulgences, when done mindfully, can be part of a sustainable lifestyle. You’re absolutely right-life is about more than just restrictions. Enjoying that occasional steak and glass of wine can bring a sense of normalcy and happiness, which is just as important as watching your blood sugar levels. It’s clear you’ve thought deeply about your choices and are living in a way that respects both your health and your humanity. Kudos to you for finding that balance. Keep monitoring your health and staying true to what makes life worth living! 🙏
