Reversing Type II Diabetes Through Nutrition

Understanding Type II Diabetes

Type II diabetes is characterised by high blood sugar levels due to a combination of insulin resistance and impaired insulin production. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels by allowing cells to absorb glucose for energy. When the body becomes insulin resistant, cells don’t respond properly to insulin, leading to elevated blood sugar levels.

The Role of Nutrition for diabetics

Nutrition is a key component in type II management and potential reversal. Here is how a well-balanced diet can help you take control of your health:

Blood sugar control: The most immediate impact of nutrition on diabetes is the regulation of blood sugar levels. By making strategic food choices, you can prevent the rapid spikes and crashes in blood sugar that are a common occurrence in diabetics.

Weight management: Achieving and maintain a healthy weight is key to reversing type II diabetes. Adequate nutrition through lower carbohydrate intake, higher protein and high fibre can help lose excessive weight and prevent more being gained.

Insulin sensitivity: Certain foods can improve your body’s sensitivity to insulin, helping cells respond more effectively to this hormone.

Inflammation reduction: Chronic inflammation is often associated with diabetes. A diet rich in ant-inflammatory foods can mitigate this risk.

Follow these 7 tips on how to reverse Type II diabetes through nutrition:

  1. Limit carbohydrates: Simple carbohydrates have a direct impact on blood sugar levels. By reducing our intake of refined carbohydrates such as white bread, pasta, cakes and other sugary foods, can help stabilize blood sugar levels. Focus on complex carbohydrates like whole grains, vegetables, and legumes which are digested much more slowly causing fewer blood sugar spikes.
  2. Balanced meals: Aim for a well balancing meal to include lean proteins, healthy fats and fibre-rich carbohydrates. This combination can help keep you feel fuller for longer and less likely to want to snack between meals.
  3. Portion control: be mindful of portion size. Avoid overfilling the plate and be conscious of caloric intake which is essential for healthy weight loss.
  4. Healthy fats: Incorporate sources of healthy fats like avocadoes, nuts and olive oil into your diet. These fats can help improve sensitivity.
  5. Lean proteins: Protein helps to regulate blood sugar and can keep you feeling fuller for longer. Choose lean protein sources such as poultry, fish, and legumes as they have less impact on blood sugar levels compared to red meats.
  6. Fibre rich foods: Increase your intake of fibre through a variety of fruits and vegetables and whole grains. Fibre helps to regulate blood sugar levels and improve overall gut health.
  7. Limit added sugars: Steer clear of foods and beverages with added sugars, as these can lead to spiked blood sugar levels.

Supplements for diabetes

  • Omega 3 fatty acids: These are found in fatty fish like salmon, as well as walnuts and flaxseeds, which can reduce inflammation and improve insulin sensitivity, making these foods a great choice to incorporate for diabetes management.
