These two are the consequences of a lifestyle and eating disorders. As an individual goes overweight, it increases the susceptibility of getting diabetes and high cholesterol levels. Corrective and timely eating can reverse the process. Diet plays a major role in regulating the blood glucose and cholesterol levels in the body. Therefore a simple easy to follow diet will not only help in getting rid of medicines and diseases but will also ensure a better life thereafter worthy of enjoying.
Mr.Pankaj Yadav (name changed), a 69 years old diabetic man who resides in Pitampura (Delhi), asked us the same question. He was afraid to follow a diet chart, and this is when our expert dieticians informed him that diet doesn’t require laborious efforts; it is just modulation and moderation of eating habits to achieve good health and control health issues.
Ageing is associated with a lot of free radical release in the body. As you age, your needs for nutrition increase. Your body is in a degenerative mode. The growth of cells and tissues is slow and even repairing of tissues is at a slow rate.
Therefore, it is important that you consult a dietician and follow the diet even if you are 65 years old or above !
‘Doctors v/s Dietician’ is a famous search query at Google. But let me tell you my friend, there is no comparison. Both the entities have different focus areas.
Comparing ‘Weight Maintenance Diet’ with ‘Diabetes and Cholesterol Diet’ is like comparing Apple with Oranges !
Research shows that people with diabetes face a higher risk of developing heart disease and hence it’s imperative that you follow a diet after consulting a dietician instead of regular eating.
At Umang World, we have expert nutritionists who have years of experience in giving diets or consulting many individuals and helping them live a healthy lifestyle.
However, you must inform your dietician at the time of consultation if you are allergic to certain food items. This will help the dietician to prepare your diet chart appropriately and incorporate foods that have a positive effect on your health and also maintain sugar / cholesterol levels.
Dont worry !
Despite there being a large amount of research into diet and cholesterol, there are still a lot of delusions within the media and even sometimes within the advice offered by healthcare professionals.
To clarify, you can follow diet with medicines. Infact, when diets are planned keeping the problem in mind, it gradually helps in reducing the dosage of medicine.
Team at Umang World is proud to report one of the success stories in which we helped one of our patients to come down from insulin to lowest dosage of medicine. Yes- Lowest Dosage of Medicine !!
“Starve your Distractions, Feed your Focus”
Planning a diabetes diet is very different and difficult as compared to a normal weight loss diet. Let us understand this claim through the following case studies:-
Case 1: Santa is on Weight Loss Diet

Case 2: Banta is on Diabetic & Insulin Diet
Banta is not only diabetic but also on insulin. His diet has to be carefully monitored as it can result in fluctuations of glucose levels. Thus, some food items are even excluded while planning diets for Banta since he has specific disorders.
