Diabetes Diet

Diabetes Low-Fat Diet

Managing diabetes means keeping your blood sugar levels
in the target range to reduce the risk of complications.

How to select the right kinds of food to keep for better
diabetes control?

1) Low Carbohydrate
 
  It has the most impact on insulin. We need not avoid
  eating carbohydrate but we need to eat the right one -
  "slow carbs". This category of carbohydrate will cause
  a slow release of sugar into the bloodstream. You can
  control your blood sugar levels with careful
  carbohydrate choices.

2) Low Calories
 
  Excess calorie intake will lead to weight problem, and
  majority of people with type 2 diabetes have a weight
  issues. Reduce your caloric intake with exercise more
  to burn more caloric to avoid weight gain and maintains
  blood sugar levels.

3) Low glycemic-index (GI) foods
 
  A foods with high glycemic index raises blood glucose
  faster and not beneficial to blood sugar. People with
  diabetes need to choose food with low GI because there
  is slower elevation of blood sugar.

4) Fiber-rich food
 
  Diabetes should take high protein with fibers each days.
  Fiber gives helps in regulated blood sugar levels, which
  is an important element in avoiding diabetes. Fiber can
  achieve a significant reduction of blood sugar levels in
  most diabetes patient.
 
  Good sources of fiber include:-
 
  Fruits: Apples, cranberries, red currants, gooseberries,
  grapefruits, oranges, peaches, pears, sour plums, prunes
  and bananas.
 
  Vegetables: Oats(bran and oatmeal), psyllium husk, rye,
  sesame seeds, beets, carrots, broccoli, flax seeds, beans,
  and legumes.

5) Sweeteners
 
  Natural sweeteners are far better or our bodies than
  refined sugars, sugar alcohol or artificial sweeteners.
  They are made from chemicals compounds. They were
  originally developed for diabetes but today found hidden
  in most highly processed foods, drinks, beverages, and
  candies, with non-nutritive and low-calorie sweeteners.
 
  Learn to read food if you want to keep away or limit any
  artificial sweeteners, sugar alcohol or refined sugar from
  your diet.
 
  Here, I highly recommend Stevia, Stevia is the desirable
  sweetener. The sweeteners is 300 times more than the
  sugarcane but the calories is just 1/300 compare to sugar
  cane sweeteners.It is low-calorie dietary supplement that
  helps regulate blood sugar and support the pancreas. It is
  valuable for anyone with diabetes and hypoglycemia.
