Always keep blood glucose levels in mind, and never be foolhardy with them. Even pasta in a tomato sauce can be fine, but always in moderation. Whole wheat pasta is preferable to enriched flour as it has a lower glycemic index.

Desserts must always be approached with extreme care and above all else understanding food labels and exchange lists are critical to leading a normal teen diabetic lifestyle.

The other large component of Sam's healthy lifestyle and one that has helped him manage his diabetes better is the exercise factor.
Sam loves to run, be it a jog with a couple of friends or for the school Varsity track team. Exercising and being active gives him greater flexibility in managing and or regulating his glucose levels.

Vijayalakshmi Iyengar Today children can enjoy desserts more than ever before as they can be made with sugar substitutes. However portion size has still to be watched and taken into account, especially for carbs, fat and sodium.

Vijayalakshmi Iyengar Some body asked me `what about kids who are not very sporty'? I think they should be put into some professional sports or into martial arts program like karate or judo etc. Yoga has undisputable benefits so I positively think we should encorage all kids to take on yoga especially if they are not into any other physical activity.

Geetanjali Diabetic athletes like Gary Hall olympic gold medalist for swimming and cricketer Wasim Akram illustrate the effectiveness of exercise in managing diabetes

Vijayalakshmi Iyengar I also subscribe to the theory that educating a child about their health condition and teaching them to take responsibility for themselves goes a long way in helping them manage their condition, as yes diabetes is a life partner, but a well managed diabetic can have relatively good and healthy life like all other children, and with little complications as they grow older.

Omesh Hello,

My mother is diabetic and is very fond of fruits. But I am little hesistant in giving her fruits because of their sweet nature. Can she take fruits as such? Which fruits will be beneficial for her?

Sangeetha Narayana Swamy Dear Omesh,

Diabetics should include one or two servings of fruits a day in their meal plan. They should avoid fruits only if their blood sugars are not under fair control. Apple, orange, papaya, pear, small banana, musambi, musk melon, a slice of water melon are examples of some of the fruits that can be included.

Please feel free to contact us for more information.
