Steps

• Talk with your health care provider to determine the best medications to take for your type 2 diabetes, or if it can be controlled with simple lifestyle changes.


• Make an appointment to see a dietician or a nutritionist, who will be able to help you come up with different meal and snack ideas that are ideal for those with type 2 diabetes.


• Begin eating a well balanced diet, and try to space your meals evenly throughout the day. Eating the same amount at the same time each day will help keep your blood sugar levels stable. You may want to use measuring cups to help control portion sizes.


• Try to include lean protein, complex carbohydrates and non-starchy vegetables in each meal. Good sources of lean protein include chicken, fish and turkey. Good sources of complex carbohydrates include whole wheat breads and pastas, beans, sweet potatoes and vegetables. Some ideas for non-starchy vegetables include lettuce, cauliflower, broccoli, squash and mushrooms.


• Avoid eating foods that have no nutritional value, and cause a rapid spike in blood sugar. These include breads and pastas that are made with white flour, candy and many other packaged foods.


• Get some form of daily exercise to help cure your type 2 diabetes. Losing excess weight is important in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. For an easy way to exercise, try wearing a pedometer and find ways to increase the amount of steps that you take each day. You may wish to track your progress in a journal.
