Diabetes Diet Plan Visualized

The food we eat gives our bodies the "information" and materials they need to function properly. If we don't get the right information, our metabolic processes suffer and our health declines. What we eat is central to our health. Consider that in light of Webster's definition of medicine:

"The science and art dealing with the maintenance of health and the prevention, alleviation, or cure of disease."

To reveal the secret of food, we collect the nutrition data of 93 types of food which include coconut oil, butter, honey, and etc.

......

Since different food contain different levels of nutrition, our body will be affected by the food we eat everyday. Food can contribute to our skin, eyes, brain, digestion, anti-aging, strong muscles, immune system, heart, and lower cholesterol.

If we get too much food, or food that gives our bodies the wrong instructions, we can become overweight, undernourished, and at risk for the development of diseases and conditions, such as arthritis, heart disease, and diabetes.

Type2 Diabetes

Type2 diabetes is a key health concern worldwide. The reports finds that as of 2018, 9.4 percent of people are living with type2 diabetes.
Type2 diabetes is thought to result from both lifestyle factors and genetic factors. The risk factors appear to include: excess body fat, high blood glucose and pressure, and unhealthy diet.

Glycemic Index and Diabetes

The glycemic index(GI) measures how food raises blood glucose. A food with a high GI raises bllod glucose more than a food with a low or medium GI.Carbohydrate is an essential part of our diets, but not all carbohydrate foods are equal. The Glycemic Index (GI) is a relative ranking of carbohydrate in foods according to how they affect blood glucose levels. Carbohydrates with a low GI value (55 or less) are more slowly digested, absorbed and metabolised and cause a lower and slower rise in blood glucose and, therefore usually, insulin levels.

For the whole day the GI classifications are:

Low: 45 or less

Moderate: 46-59

High: 60+

Diabetes people are concerned with their diets. Our visualization work will assist them in finding the right food and arranging their each meals.

In the futue, we will continue our exploration of the connection between food and human body. Also, we will continue our data visualization in order to help more people find their suitable meal plan.
