Diabetes and Cholesterol

‘Doctors v/s Dietician’ is a famous search query at Google. But let me tell you my friend, there is no comparison. Both the entities have different focus areas.

• Doctors as a general rule are not a nutritionist but can certainly recommend vitamins and minerals for certain disorders. They are medically skilled to advice on health ailments and general well-being of an individual. However, they won’t tell you the kind of diet you should take for your weight and health maintenance.
• Whereas a Dietician will not only advise you on every meal but also the food courses that one should take in order to control and regulate an individual’s overall health which includes management of both diabetes and cholesterol.

Comparing ‘Weight Maintenance Diet’ with ‘Diabetes and Cholesterol Diet’ is like comparing Apple with Oranges !

• Weight Maintenance Diet: It emphasises on eating everything but in right proportions. However, in case of people having diabetes and cholesterol, same eating pattern can result in disaster as there are certain food restrictions to be followed at the same time.
• Diabetes and Cholesterol Diet: At Umang World, we focus on excluding certain food items from daily dietary routine of an individual. This is practised to decrease or maintain good sugar and cholesterol levels in the body.

Research shows that people with diabetes face a higher risk of developing heart disease and hence it’s imperative that you follow a diet after consulting a dietician instead of regular eating.

At Umang World, we have expert nutritionists who have years of experience in giving diets or consulting many individuals and helping them live a healthy lifestyle.
However, you must inform your dietician at the time of consultation if you are allergic to certain food items. This will help the dietician to prepare your diet chart appropriately and incorporate foods that have a positive effect on your health and also maintain sugar / cholesterol levels.

Dont worry !
Despite there being a large amount of research into diet and cholesterol, there are still a lot of delusions within the media and even sometimes within the advice offered by healthcare professionals.
To clarify, you can follow diet with medicines. Infact, when diets are planned keeping the problem in mind, it gradually helps in reducing the dosage of medicine.
Team at Umang World is proud to report one of the success stories in which we helped one of our patients to come down from insulin to lowest dosage of medicine. Yes- Lowest Dosage of Medicine !!

“Starve your Distractions, Feed your Focus”
Planning a diabetes diet is very different and difficult as compared to a normal weight loss diet. Let us understand this claim through the following case studies:-
Case 1: Santa is on Weight Loss Diet
Nutritionist can exercise liberty in giving any food item to Santa without any worry
Case 2: Banta is on Diabetic & Insulin Diet
Banta is not only diabetic but also on insulin. His diet has to be carefully monitored as it can result in fluctuations of glucose levels. Thus, some food items are even excluded while planning diets for Banta since he has specific disorders.
