two apples a day?

Question

I am a diabetic that eats at least two apples a day,Also love tomatoes i grow my self,does that cause blood sugar to go up.
What would be a good subtitute?

Answer 1

No reason to substitute anything for healthy foods like apples and tomatoes; however, if you need to substitute because of calories or you just plain want to, nuts are good (high protein/low carb) or sugar free juices like crystal light. bottom line: balanced diet.

Tomatoes may raise BG - I don't like them so I'm not certain

Answer 2

As a diabetic, you can have two apples a day as long as it's in your meal plan as snacks and you are in control of the situation. Anything you eat, be it apples, tomatoes, or pumpkins, will have an impact on your bg. You did not say if you're type 1 or 2, so it's really up to you. You can have all sorts of fruit and vegetables as long as you test and determine their impact on your BG. I know from experience that watermelon is not the best fruit for me - and probably others - because it shoots my glucose high. So, I limit how much I have at any one time. You can do the same.

Answer 3

It depends on how balanced your diet is and what else you consume on a given day. You ought to have servings of cereals, vegetables, fruit and drink at least 8 glasses (64 oz.) of water every day. The sugar content of vegetables and fruit are natural and may not lift up your blood sugar level substantially. In fact, the body converts them into energy. But consuming in addition any refined sweeteners like sugar is another matter.

Answer 4

check with your doctor depending on what type of diabetes you have . Natural sugar like what is found in fresh fruit is different from the sugar that is processed. Its best to consult your doctor on how much sucrose you can have in a day

Answer 5

what doesn't cause blood sugar to up?... lol... water... other than that just about everything.. bananas and oranges would be even worse....if you enjoy the apples and tomatoes, why look to substitute them ,fruit is good for you ,enjoy them, just adjust the rest of the food you eat during the day..

Answer 6

i think it should be fine tomatoes have low carbs and apples are a 15 grams each my doctor told me to eat fruit when i crave sweets
so it should be good that you eat fruit,i would say as long as you space the apples out through the day

Answer 7

The sugars found in natural foods, apples an such do not cause adverse reactions with your diabetes.

Answer 9

In order to keep your blood sugar level under control, read the following paragraph to update your knowledge about diabetes:

You need not to panic to visit a doctor. There are no Allopathic medicines available in the market that will cure the diabetic conditions of humans but they will control the disorder up to certain levels. The disease is developed due to eating disorders and hereditary. In the first place, I have never accepted diabetes as disease but considered it to be a disorder. The medicine is readily available at home in the form of natural products and you need not to go to market to purchase expensive medicines. To keep the sugar level under control, follow my suggestions and see the difference. Drink the juice of one bitter gourd, one cucumber and one tomato on empty stomach in the morning on a regular basis (drink this juice twice a day if you are insulin dependent) until you start feeling relief and your blood sugar level starts decreasing and continue further for a very long time until your sugar level reaches border line. The sugar level will certainly come down. Eat plenty of cucumber before meal to quench your thrust and to fill your empty stomach. Cucumbers are considered and proved to be very good for diabetic patients. Diabetic patients are always hungry to eat but can not eat all. Avoid banana, mango, custard apple and sweets like ice cream, pastry and cold drinks totally. If you are insulin dependent, even eating rice would be very harmful. You can eat fruits like guava, pineapple, pomegranate, papaya, muskmelon and watermelon. Taking one tea-spoon Fenugreek powder and quarter tea-spoon cinnamon powder on empty stomach, before breakfast daily, would be beneficial to diabetic patients. Regular brisk walking for one hour daily would be the best ideal medicine for diabetic patients. Cut down on non-vegetarian, fast, spicy and oily food, aerated cold drinks and foods rich in calories. Correct constipation. Avoid alcohol and tobacco also. Tea and coffee are also bad for health because they promote calcium excretion from the body and calcium loss from bones. Drink plenty of water daily. Take one tablet of Diabecon (By Himalaya an Herbal Health Care Company in India) twice a day as a maintenance dose. Take care and be in good health.
