Type II diabetes is the most common type of diabetes and it causes tissues to develop insulin resistance or simple the body cannot produce enough insulin. A common side effect of type II diabetes is obesity, however with the proper diet and exercise, weight loss is possible. A recommended diet for those with type II diabetes is to eat complex carbohydrates versus simple carbohydrates. What this means is that brown rice, whole wheat, quinoa, oatmeal, fruits, vegetables, beans, and lentils should be consumed regularly and that sugar, pasta, white bread, flour, and cookies, pastries should be eliminated. Proteins can include the following: beans, legumes, eggs, seafood, dairy, peas, tofu, and lean meats and poultry. Other foods that need to be avoided are sodas, trans fats, high-fat animal products, high-fat dairy products, high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, and any highly processed foods. Along with a healthy diet, exercise is important because it can help lower blood glucose level. While exercising, muscles use glucose even if there is no insulin and in return since glucose is being used then glucose levels go down. It is recommended to exercise for about 30 minutes daily, and this can be a combination of tennis, dancing, walking, swimming, basketball, and or biking.
