If you have the disease, your diabetes doctor will come up with the right treatment for you based on the variety of factors specific to you. That most likely will include a combination of medications, exercise, and, of course, diet. You have probably heard more than once the words “balanced diet”. That’s what your diet should be to successfully manage diabetes because balanced diet means consuming a wide variety of foods in the right proportion. That is necessary because different foods contain different essential nutrients, which are vital for proper body functioning. One of such essential nutrients is Vitamin A, which is needed for several physiological processes including vision, reproduction, immune function, skin health, development, and growth, as well as functioning of such vital organs as the heart, lungs, and kidneys. There is another role of Vitamin A that is extremely important for people with diabetes – according to a new study, Vitamin A improves the function of insulin producing beta-cells. The research also shown that Vitamin A deficiency may lead to a decrease in the beta-cells' ability to resist inflammation and in case of absence of Vitamin A the beta-cells die. The research makes it clear that it’s in every person’s best interest to have enough Vitamin A in the system and when it comes to people with diabetes keeping the level of Vitamin A in check is simply a must. The daily recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of Vitamin A is 900 microgram for men, 700 microgram for women and from 300 to 600 microgram for kids. Human body cannot produce Vitamin A by itself, so people must get it from their diet. Among the foods that are rich in Vitamin are lamb liver, cod liver oil, salmon, king mackerel, Bluefin tuna, herring, sweet potato, spinach, pumpkin pie, carrots, black-eyed peas, broccoli, red bell pepper, cantaloupe, mango, tomato juice, dried apricots, goat cheese, milk, butter, cheddar, Roquefort cheese, camembert cheese, hard-boiled eggs, cream cheese, and feta cheese.
