Results of diabetic diet on triglyceride levels. From diagnosis as a type 2 diabetic through 2 years of dietary control of diabetes without medications for diabetes (or any other medications).
Because diabetics are at a significantly increased risk of heart and cardiovascular disease and because the immediate impact of heart and cardiovascular diseases can be death (not a slow and gradual diabetic problem like diabetic neuropathy) - it is vital that you as a diabetic control your cholesterol and triglyceride levels as diligently as you manage your blood glucose control. The first bar in the chart was at our diagnosis as a type 2 diabetic before we began our program of dietary control of diabetes. Subsequent bars are follow up tests during our ongoing optimization of our diabetic diet plan and lifestyle changes.
These results are from practicing the lifestyle intervention changes described here at the Diabetes Life Guide and practicing dietary control of diabetes as described at the sister site to the Diabetes Life Guide, Diabetic Life Diet: Dietary Control of Diabetes. There you can find out what is a diabetic diet really, read discussions about what diabetic diet tips are the best and even learn about the 'nearly' vegetarian diabetic diet plan for dietary control of diabetes and how you can be your own diabetic diet guide for controlling your own type 2 diabetes.
