There is\u00a0no such thing as a diabetes diet<\/b>. What is good to eat for a diabetic can be eaten by anyone. Except the fact that for those suffering from diabetes it’s important to monitor the total amounts of carbohydrates, fat and proteins consumed each day. Primarily, the goal of nutrition for people with this condition is to attain the ABC’s of diabetes:<\/p>\n

A<\/b> – A1c or hemoglobin A1c test. This measures the average blood sugar over the previous three months
\nB<\/b> – blood pressure
\nC<\/b> – cholesterol<\/p>\n

Diabetes Diet Tips
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

There are some tips and tricks to any diet. In the diabetes diet you mustn’t be a slave of your condition, but enjoy every meal.<\/p>\n

Make sure you eat a wide variety of foods. Having a colorful plate is the best way to ensure that you are eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, meats and other forms of protein such as nuts, dairy products, grains\/cereals<\/p>\n

Also, you must not feast with whole grain breads, fruits, and cereals. An accepted amount is 25-35 grams of fibers per day. Fibers are highly recommended as they contain important vitamins and minerals.<\/p>\n

Sizing the meals
\nIt’s important to know the amount you can eat at each meal. Can you fill the plate or not ?<\/p>\n

You should always eat as your doctor prescribed in your diabetes meal plan. Excess calories result in excess fat and excess weight. In people with type 2 diabetes, excess body fat means less sensitivity to insulin. Also it’s important not to skip meals and eat at regular times of the day. A controlled food consumption will set a rhythm to
\nbodily functions.<\/p>\n

The Sweet Tooth
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

The fact that diabetics can’t eat sugar is just a myth. We all have cravings from time to time. It’s only important not to overindulge with to much sugar.
\nSweets don’t raise your blood sugar any more than similar amounts of calories from starches, which is found in many foods that we consume. It is important to remember that sugar is just one type of carbohydrate.<\/p>\n

Before eating anything sweet here are some suggestions:
\n\u00a01. <\/b>Read the label. Determine how much sugar or carbohydrates are in the foods that you eat.<\/p>\n

\u00a02.<\/b> If you have eaten one of these goodies such as cookies, cakes, or candies, try to substitute them for another carbohydrate that you would have eaten that day. Make sure that you account for this in your carbohydrate budget for the day. Also readjust medication if you add sugar to your meals.<\/p>\n

3. <\/b>Don’t forget for your own well being to check the blood sugar after eating sugary foods.<\/p>\n

Glycemic index guideline<\/b><\/p>\n

The glycemic index is a ranking that attempts to measure the influence that each particular food has on blood sugar levels. It takes into account the type of carbohydrates in a meal and its effect on blood sugar. Here are some values of the Glycemic Index (GI) and Glycemic Load (GL) for a few common foods. GI’s of 55 or below are considered low, and 70 or above are considered high.<\/p>
