Preventive and control send me two different messages. Preventative measures are something a person wants to use if it runs in the family and they want to be careful before they get it or your Dr. says you are pre-diabetic, which only means you aren't at the stage where you must take insulin but you are much closer.
Controlling your diabetes mean you already have it and you take measures to make sure you don't eat things that will make your blood sugar rise or spike.
I had a care giving client who was diabetic among other things like being mentally challenged, for one. I got to see what happened if she ate certain things.
Exercise comes into the picture too. The bad news is if you have the body type most prone to being overweight cus there are lots of overweight people who end up with diabetes. There are basically three body types according to Ayurvedic medicine. I am the type who requires the least amount of exercise and tend to be smaller, not gaining too easily, Then theres the medium build who has to watch diet some but not worry too much and has to do more exercise. Then lastly are people who feel they gain weight just looking at food. It seems no matter how much they diet, the diets they try and if not doing a tremendous amount of exercise, the weight keeps adding on. Thats my husband. the eating requirements are different too. I don't trust all dieticians which your Dr. would send you to if you asked about special eating if diabetic or to prevent becoming diabetic. My client was told by Dietician that she could drink diet soda's as much as she wanted, just not the regular ones. I wasn't there and had no idea. Then one day in a panic she called me when she had an episode that wasn't good. When she told me the only change was drinking diet, I told her that diet sugar is only to prevent gaining weight, but diet sugar is still going to be seen as sweet and sugary by the body and will give blood sugar highs that are dangerous. I asked to be sure this is what the dietician said, thinking perhaps my client got it wrong, misunderstood, but thats what the Dr. said. I was really mad. What idiot would tell someone concerned about diabetes to take in extra sugar in their diet rather than cut down or cut it out.
YOu also need to be aware that there are starchy foods that your body will turn into sugar. That would be breads, grains, noodles, rice, potato. So the better diets are the ones where you eat mostly protein,meats and meat fats and fresh vegetables and fruit modestly. No canned or frozen because although they fill you, you aren't getting the most nutrients possible, fresher is always better. So though you may want to ask your Dr. about your concerns, It may serve you better to read up on body types, discover in a book by descriptions what your body type is, and follow the recommendations for diet and excercize, other than food items that are sugary or turn into sugar.
