Diabetics Have a Choice in Weight Loss Programs

Diabetes was the bane of the 20th century and is affecting even more people during the 21st. However, unlike the unfortunate victims of the 60's, today's diabetics have a wide array of tools available to ensure their journey is neither as tedious, nor as dangerous as that of their predecessors. Nonetheless, the diagnosis of diabetes means that the word "diet" is no longer a choice. It is a condition of survival.

The Diabetic Living Diet is a well-thought-out and effective plan, designed to assist the diabetic through the unique pitfalls they may encounter during their journey. The developers of Diabetic Living have been in the "business" of providing this type of information to the diabetic community for years. Their magazine, (one of the first designed especially for those afflicted with this malady), has long been popular in Australia. But it is their website the promises to deliver diabetics with the most up-to-date information on the subject. A website that makes available past issues of their magazine, so that even a newly-diagnosed patron can explore the questions they now have.

Diabetic Living's contributors are not prudes. They realize that none of us, (not even a diabetic, whose life is at stake), can follow a diet long-term, if it is too restrictive in nature. Thus, while they encourage people to lean toward wholesome foods, they do so with a voice that is both sympathetic and educational. Also found on line, is research regarding prescription interactions and side effects, reviews on the tools a diabetic must use to monitor their blood sugar level, and success stories from others who are surmounting the obstacles found within the diabetic experience. Diabetics can put their very lives in danger by following fad diets. The slow release of both nutrients and sugars is imperative to a diabetic's survival. Foods that release nutrients into the system with nature's time-released mechanisms include whole grains, fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds. But no diabetic who has existed on junk food prior to their diagnosis is going to find the idea of these foods appealing. Thus, the Diabetic Living Diet gently leads them through a journey of exploration, whereby the foods that will enable them longevity, are introduced as part of an overall plan, wherein weight maintenance is simply a by-product.

Another rising player in the diabetic diet support system is dLife. dLife TV is a CNBC Network program that televises the latest research and treatment advances during their weekly show. Also featured are exciting recipes for the diabetic, management tips and stories from real people. The website is an exciting offshoot of the show and outlines, in easily navigable form, both basic information concerning Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, as well as meal managing tools, inspirational stories from fellow victims, inspirational and expert advice, along with podcasts and articles taken from the actual show.
