Help for diet problem

[1TrueDisciple]

I need some information.

I have coronary artery disease plus type II diabetes, and I'm having difficulty finding material on diets for someone with both of these conditions. I can find information on diets for heart disease and diets for diabetics, but not for the combination. The problem is that dietary elements for one condition might not be good for the other condition.

Does anyone know of a website where I can find the information I need?

I appreciate any help you can give.

Hmmm, I have read very good things about the "Mediteranian diet being good for both. Here is a link to one site that talks about it, it is from the Mayo Clinic.
Mediterranean diet for heart health - MayoClinic.com
I know a lot of Naturopaths as well as other MD's highly recommend it.
Here is another site that talks about how good it is for Type 2 diabetes.
Mediterranean Diet Best for Type 2 Diabetes
I hope this helps. If you google, you will find a lot of other info as well, these were just two that "jumped" out at me.

Your doctor should be able to hook you up with a nutritionist for the best advice

You will be in my prayers

I'm not able to link but you might try googling Heartscanblog. Dr. Davis, a cardiologist, writes about what works and what does not for his patients. He has had best success using a low carb diet - similar to the South Beach diet but more involved. I've seen him caution though, if diabetic to be sure and work with your doctor concerning medication and the diet.
