what are the recipes for a person who has diabetics?

Answer 1

Fortuantely for us diabetics there are tons of books dedicated to this very subject. Before checking out the books and various websites you should consider if the diabetic has any other health issues like high blood pressure or cholesterol, etc. Also when diagnoised (and every few years after that) the diabetic should really see a licensed dietician that specializes in diabetes to refresh their nutrional information. That dietician will instruct the diabetic as to how many carbs they should have per day, etc.

The most important advice is to read labels and the nutrional information. I've seen some recipes that were labeled as a "diabetic recipe" but had 90 grams of carbs per serving not to mention the fat or sodium content. That is more than twice the number of carbs I take in per meal let alone for one portion of the meal. The most important piece of advice is portion control. Learning what qualifies as one serving is a real eye opener for most people. My final piece of advice is to "paint your plate with color." This means if you have plenty of bright colors on your plate chances are you have a balanced meal or at least be on your way to a balanced meal.

Having said all of that, lol, here are some of the links I love:

www.recipezaar.com (this site is great because it is not limited to "diabetic" recipes but you can use filters like "diabetic", or "lower in carbs" or "lower in fat", etc.

www.allrecipes.com (similar to above)

Best of luck to you.

Eat Right For Diabetes

People suffering from diabetics believe that all vegetables and fruits are safe.

Studies show that making certain choices in our regular food can significantly reduce the suger levels The first factor to be understood is that food containing more fiber is a better choice. For example, whole wheat, broken wheat are better choices than noodles and pasta. In whole wheat the skin is difficult to digest and since the body has to work harder to digest it the blood sugar levels will come down. Similarly, whole wheat bread is better.

Bakery products are mostly made of flour and lots of butter. These products are very dangerous for those suffering from diabetes. Whole wheat bread is permitted and two Marie biscuits may be eaten at tea time. Do not exceed two biscuits. All other biscuits have too much fat.

Among vegetables those with more fiber and less starch must be chose. All greens are good, cabbage, cauliflower, ladies finger, beans, bitter gourd, ridge gourd and peas are better choices than potato, colocassia, yam, tapioca and beet root. Radish, a little carrot and pumpkin may be eaten. It is important that at both lunch and dinner a diabetic must try to eat one or two cups raw salad with tomato, cucumber, onion, cabbage, lettuce, etc. These are full of fiber and if eaten with a meal, help to reduce the intake of rice and cooked food and also reduce the blood sugar.

Among fruits the only safe fruits for a diabetic are orange, apple, pear and pomegranate. These have a high fiber content. One may be eaten at 11 am and another at 6 pm. All kinds of banana are dangerous since they are high in sugar content. One apple or orange is 50 calories. While one banana is 100-120 calories. Also Banana, mango, jackfruit and custard apple are fruits which are pulpy, with less fiber and so they make the blood sugar shoot up suddenly and must be avoided if sugar levels are high.

Milk and curds may be consumed but use only milk which has been thoroughly skimmed (cream removed).

Fish and chicken from fish or chicken curry may be eaten but without the gravy. The gravy is fatty and bad for diabetics. Dietary control and wise food choices is the secret to managing diabetes.

Answer 5

There are many receipe books on the market just for diabetics.
Any bookstore carries them as does Wal-Mart, etc. You need a lot more choices than the few given here though the website listed might be a help. I still go with receipe books-I have some but I have to admit I rarely use them.

You can usually eat anything BUT do it in moderation-eat small meals or the regular 3 and have mid-morning and mid-afternoon snacks, as any dr. will advise you to do. marlyne B

Answer 7

You can visit many sites and get to know of all recipies. PLEASE BEAR IN MIND DIABETIC IS A CLUSTER OF SYMPTOMS AND CANNOT BE CURED. Hence the condition varies from one person to another. Only your doctor can tell you which level you are. Go to American diabetics association website and take PHD test over internet. It is Free. Then consult your doctor and also visit the websites but my advice to you follow a vegetarian diet with balanced carb protien and fibre food.

Answer 8

Try a vegan diet. Recent research shows the vegan diet will reverse type II diabetes. See http://www.vegetarianorganiclife.com/ and http://www.newstarget.com/019785.html I also believe the vegan diet will substantially help prevent the secondary complications of type-1 diabetes.

Answer 9

I don't follow any specific diet plan. I just eat a lot of vegetables, keep my carbs limited to whole grains, very little sugar and fat, and I exercise and keep active. Most of my 'recipes' are salads with low fat dressing, Cheerios with cinnamon and blueberries, and a healthy sandwich for lunch. Controlling blood sugar is a snap, this way.
