Obesity is the bane of diabetes. These two conditions occurring in conjunction result in a complicated medical condition, which in turn can have serious repercussions. So when you are diabetic and also obese, counting your calories is a must. And if you are a woman, with either an active or sedentary lifestyle, or a man leading a more or less inactive lifestyle, then a 1,200 calorie diet is ideal for you. The diet is intended to restrict the intake of calories without compromising on the nutritional value of the food partaken.
Breakfast can consist of a cup of cereals, skimmed milk, a cup of any fruit and a muffin. This need not be an everyday affair. A 1,200-calorie diet requires that you stick to the calorie count while eating the right kind of food; how exactly you follow the regime is up to you. For instance, you can substitute the cereals with bread, have a little bit of cheese instead of muffin, and have a different kind of fruit everyday, say blueberries one day and an orange another day. These variations will ensure that you do not run out of steam as you follow the diet.
For lunch, you have the choice of baked chicken, a piece of ham, or a fish of some kind (for example, tuna or salmon), any kind of vegetable (i.e., tomato, lettuce or cucumber). If you want to go light on the midday meal, you can have yogurt, a fruit of some sort, salad tossed with lightweight dressing and some unsweetened coffee. About half a cup of white rice with few servings of vegetables and diet soda would be another choice.
For the afternoon snack you can munch on nuts, cashew nuts or almonds and have a cup of tea. But do not gorge on hamburgers, fries and Coke. This will undo all the good work that you have done during the breakfast and lunch.
If you had a light lunch, you can compensate for it at dinnertime with turkey, two to three kinds of vegetables like broccoli, tomatoes, or beans, and maybe one wheat roll. If it was a heavy lunch, the dinner should be easy on the stomach with a few slices of bacon, cornbread and a piece of orange or an apple.
The idea of a 1,200-calorie diabetic meal is not that every time you sit down to eat, you need to have weighing scales or a calorie meter on hand. A 1,200-calorie diabetic diet plan just entails eating right, eating frequently and stopping short of overstuffing oneself.

Alternative Treatment for Peripheral Neuropathy - Agent Orange - Vitamin B12 Supplements UK
Kathy Ostman-Magnusen
Could something as simple as a Vitamin B12 Supplement in the form of Methycobalamin create the miracle many stand in line in hope for?
Is there a cure for Autism or the milder variant of Autism disorder, Asperger's Disorder?
Facts of the Vietnam war tells us many were exposed to Agents Orange, Pink, White and Blue might their lives be changed to hopeful? Can many of the effects of Agent Orange be changed by an alternative treatment for peripheral neuropathy? Is there hope available for MS patients?
I don't know.
I only KNOW what my husband Dennis is experiencing and the hopeful news I want to share. Perhaps present precedent communications on this issue as a spark that might lead to a bigger light in your life.
My husband Dennis is afflicted with the effects of Agent Orange from Vietnam. He has Peripheral Neuropathy throughout along with a host of other ailments. His granddaughter has been diagnosed with Autism.
Something that is making news about Autism and Peripheral Neuropathy as well as other ailments, is high doses of injectable methylcobalamin, a form of Vitamin B-12.
I recently made contact with a woman who had been exposed to Agent Orange who suggested high doses of injectable methylcobalamin, because it has worked for her. She says it is nothing but a miracle. She started as our tiny angel of light, that is ready to set a beam that takes away all darkness.
I am a skeptic about quick fix healing. You would not believe how many people have had cures and how many roads we have been on that have been disappointing to say the least. So know that I too was a total skeptic.
I decided to purchase methylcobalamin at my local health food store and just try the tabs. Actually they come in the form of lozenges, usually put under the tongue. The reasoning was that if effects were felt at all from the lozenges, high doses of injectable methylcobalamin might just be the answer.
My husband tried 6 lozenges at once under his tongue. He experienced immediate relief. I am not kidding. His legs that had been shaking became significantly calmer. He took lozenges throughout the week and then decided to see what a day without them might be, to see if it was really true or coincidence. His legs began to shake and that old, well known discomfort returned. The following day it was back to the health food store for more methylcobalamin.
Now, the search is on for a doctor who will write a script and assist in administering high doses of injectable methylcobalamin without breaking our non existing bank.
Once an educator of gang zone kids, the kind you see in the movies, my husband Dennis had to quit his beloved teaching career. It is this countries loss indeed. While serving his country in Vietnam he saw the children there and what war does to the children. He wanted to make a difference in this world and decided it had to begin with the children, thus went into teaching. To give that up was a huge heartache and remains so.
To have this HOPE of something that might make a huge difference to him is remarkable.
In my research of all of these things I came across abstracts about the connections between Agent Orange, Peripheral Neuropathy and following generations having Autism. As I mentioned above Autism has afflicted Dennis' granddaughter. Might high doses of injectable methylcobalamin be the answer for her as well? Research is being done.
Wouldn't it be so so amazing? Something as simple as a form of Vitamin B12 could send us and others a miracle?
This could be HUGE.
I am sure pharmaceutical companies would not support this and thusly the FDA would not, just not enough money in it for them. This is pure opinion, yet a confirmed one by many.
Let me say that we are still testing, I do not know for sure of the full benefits.. I am not a doctor and I don't play one on TV. When we do find a doctor who will help and it does prove to be successful, I will indeed write another article. No.. what am I saying? I will write tons of them and I will sing it from the rooftops!

Preventing Diabetes Vision Loss
What is the leading cause of blindness in the United States of America? Diabetes. Researchers are now stating that diabetes related vision loss can be prevented if the disease is treated in time.
The Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. has reported that only 50 to 60 percent of people with diabetes get the recommended yearly eye exam. The effective treatments, including a dilated eye test, can reduce severe vision loss up to 94 percent. A persons risk for diabetic retinopathy increases with the length of time that they have had diabetes.
It was once thought that diabetic retinopathy only affected diabetics who have had the disease for a long length of time. We now know that that is not the case. For some diabetics, retinopathy is one of the first signs of the disease. Diabetic retinopathy happens when blood vessels in the eye’s retina are weakened due to high blood-sugar levels. The vessels begin to leak blood and fluid which makes the retina begin to swell, this is what causes the vision loss.
To be able to take preventative measures against diabetes, you first need to find out if you have the disease or not. The way to do this is by having your blood sugar levels checked once every 3 years once you are over the age of 45. In the case of diabetes… ignorance is definitely NOT bliss.
