Calorie Diabetic Diet Menu

It is important that diabetic maintain a healthy diet. Many debate on which is the best diabetic diet but for the most part people know that it is important to control calories. It is important to separate between diets for those with Type 1 diabetes, and those with Type 2 diabetes.

The diet you follow depends on what type of diabetes you have. For example if you have type 1 diabetes then you diet should include about 30 calories a day for each kilogram of your weight. This amount converted to pounds is about 10 calories per pound of weight. But with someone with type 2 diabetes things change a bit. They usually need to go on a 1500 – 1800 calories per day diet. This is because type 2 diabetics have a harder time losing weight so this diet helps them control their weight.

There are a couple of things you must be aware of aside from what type of diabetes you have. You must also take note of your sex, age, physical fitness level, height, weight, etc So clearly, someone who is chubbier will most likely need more calories than their counterpart who is leaner. Besides, since physical activity burns calories, those with higher level of physical activity will most likely require more calories, and vice versa.

Many people with diabetes are not sure of their needs for a successful diet. For those individuals, it is best that you see a doctor or dietitian. They will be able to tell you the required amount of calories you should consume per day (based on varying factors mentioned before such as weight, age, sex, etc..). Many people neglect doing this, but understandably a doctor or dietitian can give you the optimal diet for you, and you will not regret it in the long run.
