Eating Smart Is An Important Part Of Controlling Diabetes

Thanks you for taking the time to click over to find out more about how a diabetic wise diet

can benefit you both in the long and short term. First, I must admit that much of what we will

discuss here should be covered with your doctor first.

Nevertheless, having struggled with blood sugar and diabetic problems for years, I can tell you from

personal experience that everything mentioned has worked well for me, both from a long and short

term perspective. I only wish someone would have taken the time to convey this information to me

many years ago and saved me the aggravation and pain of my trial and error approach.

Now let’s get started!

Know your carbohydrates: Some carbohydrates are great for diabetics while others will put you an

psychological and physiological ride that will rival any high speed amusement park roller coaster,

only to leave you in much the same disheveled and disoriented state.

Suggestions #1: Keep a close eye on carbohydrates

Simple carbohydrates: This category includes fruits and a handful of vegetables,

which in their natural form offer vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Simple carbohydrates

also include processed or refined foods, many of which have little or no nutritional

value, such as soda, potato chips, candy, and snack foods. For diabetes the faster

foods elevate your blood sugar the worse they eventually will make you feel. Examples

of a three of the worst are white rice, white flower, and bananas.

Complex carbohydrates: These carbohydrates burn slower and provide the type of fuel that is needed

to power a blood sugar challenged body. Complex carbohydrates are found in many vegetables, beans,

peas, oat bran, whole grain brown rice, and high protein foods such as chicken and tuna.

The next time you go to your favorite restaurant serving oriental cuisine just say no to white rice opting

for brown or extra vegetables instead. Also, substituting oat bran or whole grain low sugar products for

processed cereal makes good sense. Additionally, substituting either flax or whole wheat bread for

white bread is an essential part of any diabetic diet plan.

Choose an oat bran muffin or a few almonds or walnuts instead of a bagel, donut, pastry, or scone.

Reduce soda and high sugar juice consumption. Soda speaks for itself and most diabetics know to stay
away from it (even the diet varieties) but juice is sometimes overlooked. Some store bought cranberry,
apple, and grape juice offerings have as much as 40 grams of extra sugar added.

Substitute sweat potatoes or squash for white/Idaho potatoes.

Try to eat a balanced diet high in low fat omega 3 rich protein and vegetables. Balancing proteins and
carbohydrates can help to balance blood sugar levels.

Beware of pasta, it tend to convert into sugar rapidly. If you must eat pasta opt for the whole grain

varieties. If pasta sauce is being added look for the ones that contain the lowest amount of sugar,

which is generally around 5 grams. If possible use olive oil with a touch of garlic as a diabetic

healthy alternative.

Suggestion #2: Sugar is the Achilles heel for many diabetes: Be wise about sweats

aying close attention to simple sugar/sweats

ust might be the

most

mportant

change

a person can make

for

effectively

managing

blood

sugar

evels and reducing the risk of many of the most common diabetic symptoms

Sugar and sugar impersonators such as fructose, sucrose, and corn syrup

all have the same blood sugar spiking action. Thus many of the foods you

consume every day contain

significant quantities of sugar. Examples would

be bread, yogurt, and orange juice.

Reducing the impact of sweets

Eating sweat at a meal adds extra carbohydrates. The worst possible combination for

a diabetic is

the combination of sweets and carbohydrates, such as that delicious birthday

cake with extra frosting.

These types of foods should be avoided at all costs. Nevertheless,

sometimes it is not possible to

dodge the birthday cake bullet. So the best rule of thumb for

most diabetes is have a meal prior to

the birthday cake celebration that is low in carbohydrates

and sugar. Carbohydrate rich foods to

avoid are all flour products (white bread, tortillas,

crackers),

rice, cereal, juice, white potatoes, corn,

and bananas.

This will help keep your blood glucose levels in a healthy range. Keep in mind that

many of the

carbohydrate rich foods above have nutrients that your body needs, and finding

substitutes that

can fill the void is very important. For instance an avocado could be substituted

for a banana or

kale/greens for white potatoes.

Note

: Grapes are terrible for diabetics. Blueberries, orange pulp, or apples are much better choices.

Tips for cutting down on sugar

Don’t make it easy: Clean all sweats out of your pantry and refrigerator. The temptation is simply too

great to have a scoop of ice cream or a slice of cake.

Learn to substitute: Substitute purified water or sparkling water for soda, a bowl of fruit (preferably
blueberries or apples) instead of ice cream, a slice of flax seed bread with 0 sugar jam for cake, and

low fat/sugar yogurt in place of pie are all excellent suggestions.

Prepare treats with a sugar substitute: You might be surprised at how well your newly modified recipes

taste. I recently prepared a pie using these substitutes and used my house guests as test subjects.

No one could tell the difference!

Eat slow: By slowing consuming sugary foods you are helping your body navigate through the troubled
waters ahead.

Feed it to the dog: Well not really, that might be rude but you should look to give as much of this sugary
treat away by sharing it with a non diabetic friend.

Suggestion #3: Don’t skip meals

Not skipping meals and keeping the time between meals or healthy snacks at a

minimum is an

important part of diabetic health. Your body is better able to regulate

blood sugar levels when

you maintain a regular meal schedule. A good rule of thumb

is smaller portions consumed no more

than 4 hours apart.

Pay attention to what your body is saying: It takes a little time for your brain to get the message that

you’ve had enough to eat, so stop eating when you feel 75 percent full. Wait 20 minutes. If you’re still

hungry, you can choose to have a little more.

Skipping breakfast is not a good idea: Eating a low sugar low carbohydrate breakfast will set the table

for a blood sugar healthy day providing you with more energy while reducing the change of a blood

sugar crash.

Stay regular: We are not talking constipation here, we are talking regular eating habits. Generally, it is
thought that diabetics perform best when they consume four small meals plus three snacks spread out
through the day. People tend to eat larger portions when they are overly hungry, so eating regular will

help you consume less and feel better.

*Be consistent with calories: Regulating the number of calories you eat on a daily basis will help you

keep those cranky blood sugar levels steady. Try to eat a roughly the same time each day, consuming

about the same amount of calories, rather than overeating one day or at one meal, and then cutting

back on the next.

What Else?

One final word of wisdom, if you can exercise do it! There is no better way

to eliminate

excess

adrenaline and to stabilize blood sugar than to stay active. We are

not talking about running

the Boston

Marathon, we are simple talking about involving

yourself in an activity that elevates your

heart rate for

30 minutes 5 or more days

a week.

Exercise for some is more fun when they mix and

match routines.

For examples you could mix water aerobics, walking, hiking, cycling, golf (walking),

mowing the lawn,

or even vacuuming to keep your exercise routine new and fresh. On last tip, make

sure you put a few

nuts or sunflower seed in your pocket in case you are on a hiking trail and have

an unexpected drop

in blood sugar.
