askagreatdad @primetimeparent I have an honest question, no joke. What kind of diet should an underweight pre-diabetic utilize. Struggling #DiabetesChat
primetimeparent .@Askagreatdad that is an excellent question. I am going to request that one of our @DiabetesINFL answer your question #DiabetesChat
askagreatdad Thanks, it’s a very real struggle for me @primetimeparent @DiabetesINFL #DiabetesChat
cdiabetesinfo Q1: Why is weight loss so challenging? #DiabetesChat

raniabatayneh A2 @CDiabetesInfo You want to think about approaching weight loss with the idea of STRUCTURE, Not Restriction #DiabetesChat
raniabatayneh A2 @CDiabetesInfo most “diets” are restrictive, can be boring, limited in variety and typically we go “on” and “off” them #DiabetesChat
maureensrn A2- “diet” has a negative, restrictive connotation. Structured weight loss implies a level of empowerment. #diabeteschat

raniabatayneh A3 @CDiabetesInfo Each meal or snack includes ONE serving of Protein, ONE serving of Carbohydrate and ONE serving of Fat. #DiabetesChat
maureensrn A3- is there a calorie limit /recommendation for the 1:1:1 food contents? #diabeteschat

raniabatayneh A4 @CDiabetesInfo The Formula keeps your blood sugar stable, limits cravings & satiates your appetite w/the PRO:CARB:FAT combo #DiabetesChat
angelicam63 @CDiabetesInfo a4. It would keep me from over eating carbs #diabeteschat

raniabatayneh A5 @CDiabetesInfo #insulin is a fat storing hormone so you want to keep blood sugar levels stable. The 1:1:1 Formula does this #DiabetesChat
maureensrn A5 erratic blood sugars result in mood swings, low energy levels, even memory issues. Preplanning is best for meals. #diabeteschat
cdiabetesinfo Q6: Isn’t it best to give up on snacking? #DiabetesChat
andrewjpg @CDiabetesInfo no! Snacks help alleviate over eating during your meals. Veggies and homemade hummus are my go to. #DiabetesChat
cdiabetesinfo @andrewjpg good point #DiabetesChat
angelicam63 @CDiabetesInfo a6. I don’t believe so- it helps keep your blood sugar from dropping/spiking before a meal #diabeteschat
