Is watermelon good for patients with diabetes?
It is correct to think that watermelon is full of sugar. It’s like juice. I would advise to avoid it together with melons. And try to limit yourself to fruits with low glucose index and high fiber. Fiber in a fruit and other foods will decrease sugar absorption and will not raise blood sugar too much. Dr. Marina Strizhevsky, DO READ MORE
Do complex carbs help in reducing my insulin levels?
All carbohydrates absorb as sugar in the blood but complex carbs absorb more slowly but still will elevate sugar in diabetics. But adding proteins and vegetables to your meal of complex carbohydrates will prevent rapid or high rise in sugars after meals and your insulin might have time to work better. Dr. Marina Strizhevsky READ MORE
Can one be diagnosed with both type 2 and type 1 diabetes?
A person can either have type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus. Type 1 is when organ called pancreases does not make insulin. And type 2 is when a person makes insulin and it’s not working to lower the sugar. It is possible to be miss diagnosed as type 2 when it’s actually type 1. It is also possible for a type 2 diabetic over many years to decrease insulin production and require treatment with insulin but these people remain with diagnosis of type 2. In Summery, type 1 diabetes mellitus have pancreases destruction and don’t make almost any insulin from the beginning, while type2 make insulin, sometimes even too much, but resistant to it from the beginning. Hope this answers your question. Dr Marina Strizhevsky READ MORE
