Diet Therapy for Diabetes
The primary dietary consideration for a diabetic is that he should be a strict lacto-vegetarian and take a low-calorie, low-fat, alkaline diet of high-quality natural foods. Wholegrain, fruits, nuts, vegetables, and dairy products form a good diet for the diabetic. Emphasis should be on raw foods as they stimulate the pancreas and increase insulin production. Home-made cottage cheese and various forms of soured milk such as curd and buttermilk are the best sources of proteins.
