A “miracle” diabetes diet menu that cures the disease doesn’t exist, but if you follow a few dietary rules you can stay healthy with type 2 diabetes. And if you think more about it, the only diet you really need to follow is proper nutrition. The biggest part amongst you will be inexperienced with following a healthy diet, but once you get used to it, eating healthy will become part of your lifestyle.

Before I will discuss the healthy BMI for diabetics, I will explain what BMI is. The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a calculation based on your weight and height to determine if you are underweight, an ideal weight, overweight or obese. It’s an indication of the body fat you have. The numbers are fairly accurate but in some circumstances the calculations may not be 100% true. Because these results are purely based on numbers you should talk to your doctor about the number you are given and discuss other factors you should keep in account (such as muscle weight or body type).
As Pierre Theuma, MD, FACE at the Iowa Diabetes and Endocrinology Center in Des Moines, IA could tell you, type II diabetes is the much more common of the two diabetes forms. With type II diabetes, which outnumbers type I diabetes about 9 to 1, the diabetic does not need insulin and has lots of different symptoms. Some symptoms might include sexual impotence, numbness, fatigue, difficulties in healing wounds, abnormal hunger, burning sensations, abnormal thirst, yeast infections, increased urination and blurred vision.
