My father forgot about fufu that year and concentrated on plantain swallow and beans most of the time. He still was growing lean. That illness is deadly. He whose health is good under appreciates God honestly.

Please ask the patient to visit a dietician. They need to look at the person’s case and offer proper solution, that is if the person is truly diabetic. Endeavor to take the person along with medical reports. Most government hospitals have dieticians working there. Alternatively you may contact a private one.

Try beans, it helps ... another question is , are you overweight?

You need to shed that weight SIGNIFICANTLY

While watching what you eat, do not forget to take your medication, don't let anyone tell you otherwise UNLESS there is no need to take it (consistent normal sugar levels)

Basmati Rice (For Rice), Palm Oil, wheat, unripe Plantain, Fruits, Beans, Vegetables, Milk.

SAY NO TO CARBS & HIGH CHOLESTEROL FOOD.


Note : Whatever you eat, you will still die

Unripe plantain should be considered

Avoid food that is high in carbohydrates etc
C

Wheat meal
Wheat bread
Beans
Moimoi
Akara
Oats meal

They need to eat smaller portions… like a half of what they would normally eat. They can start from there…

Aicha probably called fonio rice. You can get them in Northern part of Nigeria especially kaduna south. Good for diabetic patients.

Use Cabbage to make swallow, garden egg, beans. You can still eat normal food just control the portions. In Nigeria many people have diabetes without knowing till they get old and get leg injury which can lead to amputation 😩

The responses shows that none of the above responders have ever successfully treated diabetes.

Op what is the reason for your question?

Do you want to reverse the diabetes so that the patient becomes diabetic free or do you want to just manage the diabetes so that it does not get worse?

If you want to reverse the diabetes, then go on the keto diet for 6 months the diabetes will go away if there is minimal carbohydrates in the diet for that long.

If you just want to manage the diabetes without curing it, then just reduce carbohydrates and eat proteins, fats and fibres.

My simple advice to manage diabetes is to eat soups and stews alone and avoid all swallows and grains. You can't get it wrong with this approach.

Reach out to Doctor of the Future on Facebook, he'll recommend a diet plan that is healthy for a diabetic patient.

Just avoid food u don't cook at home....try n make Ur food ursef.....avoid sugary drinks a lot or processed drinks....make Ur own drinks from vegetables and fruits....water is life...make water Ur friend....lastly, always drink bitter leaf water.....dis is highly medicinal though not proven scientifically sha but it works

Not easy in Nigeria and for Type 2 diabetes only.

To eat.

1) Swallow ( Low GI carbs) - Oats , Green Plantain, millet, Guinea corn. check if you can get chia seeds and add a little blended. Millet and Guinea corn can be blended to make ogi baba, Okpa (Bambara beans)
2) Vegetables and salad - This should be your most go to meal as no carbs. You can have your salad with egg. Salad with chicken. Salad with fish.
3) Beans the different kinds eg, black eyed, oloyin, Okpa etc. Legumes in general just check the glycemic index of your local one. Below 50 is recommended. Beans can be cooked as porridge with green plantain. It can also be made into moi moi and akara once in a while.
4) Drinks and fruits - Pawpaw (including about a teaspoonful of the seed to deworm) Sour sop, cucumber, make your own hibiscus drink sweetened with dates or pineapple. Warm or cool water with a slice of lemon or Ijagbonyi(African natural lemon)
5) Snack on nuts (cashew, groundnut, kola nut, bitter kola, tiger nut, African walnut (asala) and other local nuts ) and edible seeds (sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds etc)
6) Herbs (try to get seeds and plant the ones you can) and Iru instead of maggi and little iodised or sea salt. Coriander, parsley, rosemary, garlic, ginger, turmeric etc
7) Go to high fibre vegetables is all of the usual African leafy vegetables ie ( ugu, waterleaf, bitter leaf, moringa, Ewedu, Okro, tête, shoko, afang etc) then others like carrots, beetroot, garden egg , ube, igba , avocado etc.
Meat protein - Fish, Chicken, Turkey, other birds, eggs, seafood, liver, little cattle, goat, ram and bush meat.
9) Peppersoup with spices that you ground yourself and add little white yam(only), Green plaintain and/or sweet potatoes and lots of cabbage and carrots vegetables etc to fill you up.
10) Teas - guava leaf, moringa leaf, soursop leaf, hibiscus( zobo) can be served hot as tea.
11) Stews with vegetables.


AVOID if you can white rice, yam, Irish potatoes, semo, garri, wheat, processed meat (sausages) and soft sweet drinks, bread, spaghetti and indomie, seed oils, corn, cakes, ice cream.

When it comes particularly to carbohydrates which turn to sugar, portion sizes and mixing with fibre is critical

If you can’t avoid then

1)Rice wash 3 times, mix with beans, eat with vegetables or okro and just have one serving spoon. Also don’t let the water dry but put it in a strainer to get rid of the water at the end. Also also substitute with Ofada rice.
2) Yam. 1 slice of boiled or roasted (with the skin on ) white yam and eat with vegetables.
3) Irish Potatoes yellow better than white and about 3 medium pieces with vegetables or eggs. Also sweet potato is much better.
4) Semo, garri and wheat best to substitute with swallow above ie oat, millet and green plantain otherwise add beetroot or turmeric juice while turning.
5) Sausages substitute with fish or eggs
6) soft drinks and malt substitute with homemade hibiscus drink (zobo) and water. The ones bought are made with saccharine which is deadly for people with diabetes
7) Bread - make your own with lentils or beans look for recipes online. Alternatively not more than 2 slices.
Spaghetti and noodles very small sizes and mix with carrots, cabbage, eggs, salad onion, garlic, peas to fill up.
9) Most of the oil in the market called vegetable oil are seed oils and should be avoided. Most things can be cooked without oil if not use little butter(not margarine) or lard from soft animal fat or olive oil and coconut oil. Better to use little palm oil than seed oils.
10) Cakes save this for my cheat days and make it myself substituting blended dates for sugar or have a small piece from the one bought for my teenager
11) Ice cream cheat day make it myself so no sugar.

At the beginning it is difficult but once you set up and you have regular electricity then it gets better. The mixed herbs I blend fresh and freeze in ice blocks containers and the mixed vegetables I cut and wash and also freeze in portions. If you don’t have the option of regular light then check for the ones you can dry and blend into powder.

We all have cheat days maybe once a week you just eat a small portion of something you like I do.

Canned food is a no no including tomatoes, sardines and milk.

Also rest and walks. Intermittent fasting (Allowing more than 12 hours between your night and your morning meal) and limiting your food to 2 times a day will also help. I eat at about 10am to 12pm and again between 4pm to 6pm. I started 2 meals about 7 years ago and have only had Diabetes in the last 2.5 years.

Start to discipline yourself in your late 30s and early 40s around carbohydrates and sugar as prevention of type 2 diabetes is better than cure.

I also decided to be using ogun ijedi once a month to clear out any undigested food.

I will continue to research and update.
