Weight Loss For Diabetes

Weight loss for the average person with diabetes can be a huge challenge.

For those who have diabetes, managing sugar levels while taking daily injections of insulin presents the largest challenge when trying to lose weight. Many of the diet programs available on the market are not suitable for many reasons; the sugar content may be too high, or the food and calorie intake can be too restricted, and too low.

Weight Loss For Diabetes

Many doctors will prescribe weight loss for effective diabetes management, but what options are available?

Since there are so many different shakes on the market, it is important to review both the total carbohydrate and the protein content per serving. Are you considering shakes as meal replacements? In that case, the low carbohydrate shakes you mentioned may be too low to replace an entire meal by themselves. However, the low-carb shakes may be appropriate for an occasional light snack.

As for the protein, each 7-8 grams of protein would be about equivalent to an ounce of lean meat. You may wish to work with a registered dietitian/diabetes educator on how to best fit these items in planning your meals and snacks. She or he may be able to provide additional ideas on how to plan for quick and easy meals for people with active lifestyles.
