Hello,
My brother just got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure and he is on medication for both. nobody in out immediate family has had any of this before so hes the first one so nobody really knows what type of diet he should have.
does anyone know where i can find a list of foods its ok for him to eat with type 2 diabetes?
also hes a truck driver so hes always on the road so it will be hard for him to eat home cooked meals.

we were thinking he should not go to Fast food places that have a drive thru that he should go to resturants kinda like.

Just asked primary physician for referrel and got denial letter a week later saying that I don't have severe enough cardiopulmonary disease, diabetes or sleep apnea. That my current high blood pressure and hypo-thyroidism are being managed well with medication.

I am diagnosed "borderline diabetic" by my doctor. ....am probably even more across the "border" now since I have gained additional weight since diagnosed with borderline diabetes a while ago....and high blood pressure as well..due to being probably 95 lbs. overweight.
I feel weak when I try to diet...low fat...low carbs normal protein......grumpy...and hateful.
When I try to go on Atkins...that was HORRIBLE for causing water retention...more than my usual...from all the sodium involved in those protein overloads.......and bad for high blood pressure.It is imperative that I get on a eating style that will help me lose gradually, healthily, and PERMANENTLY......But, what is a good diet plan for my "almost" -(if not "for sure") diabetes? I'm miserable...No energy....hurting legs and feet...I'm a hairstylist of 33 years old that stands on my feet all day...they swell due to that, being overweight, and hurt from the water in my ankles....much pain.....I feel 80 years old.....HELP...????

Well, I'm doing a case study on menu planning. My case study has a family who has a diabetic, and an athlete. Obviously, the athlete needs to consume extra carbs, but how could I accompany this with a diabetic who cannot consume as much carbs in order to avoid high blood pressure?

Is a raw vegan diet healthful over a long period of time, especially with diabetes and high blood pressure? I am trying to switch to a raw vegan diet, but my dietitian insists it is not healthful. Has anybody here tried it long-term, or know anybody who has? I'm wanting to lose a lot of weight, and I've been making a lot of salads, with cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, green bell peppers, celery, onions, carrots ... and then I pour on a bunch of vinegar and lemon juice. It's tasty, nutritious, and very low-calorie. It seems to be working for me, but my dietitian isn't happy. And I didn't even tell you what my primary care physician thinks about my decision to quit all my diabetes and blood pressure medications and just rely on a raw vegan diet instead of the meds ... except that I'm going to have to find another primary care physician.

I think health people is the same when they born,but why they have fat, diabetes,high blood pressure, so it should be due to unhealthy diet or some suddenness accident.
