Is working out and vegetarianism good for diabetics?!
im thinking of convincing a friend of mine whos a diabetic to start working out and become a vegetarian so i was just wondering whether this will help him at all!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Diabetics need to control their sugar and carb intake (carbs raise blood sugar), so becoming a vegetarian would have nothing to do with that at all!. Exercise is always good - especially if they've recently become diabetic due to a weight gain (that happened to my husband)Www@FoodAQ@Com
Your friend needs to consult with his/her dietitian for proper guidelines as a diabetics intake of protein and carbs needs to be properly balanced to keep diabetes in control!. Since many vegetarian sources of protein are fairly high in carbs, there maybe some things done differently in those cases!. You are good friend to think of trying to help!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Working out, definitely!. Vegetarianism isn't a must- but it will help control some of the fats and sugars that one eats!. I have a friend with a number of health problems and a scary laundry list of allergies, but a Vegan diet seems to help her!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It can help but not necessary!.!.!.Diabetes is a serious condition and your friend needs serious professional medical advice not "I think!.!.!." comments

I don't know!. I'm a vegan and I have pre-diabetes even though I'm skinny and I'm only 22!. I think I just have really bad genes (father with type 2, grandfather on mother's side with type 2, brother with type 1)!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
