What food should I avoid as a diabetic, in order to keep my blood sugars down?

Question

I am a diabetic trying to control my bolld sugar levels with food and diet.

Answer 1

Stay away from potatoes and pastas. These are foods that have alot of starches in them and the starches turn to sugar. Also stay away from your candies and cakes and pies unless they are sugar free. Drink diet drinks. You are not going to be able to stay away from sugars all together, as some foods naturally have sugar in them. I hope this helps you.

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.

Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Answer 5

I'm diabetic also. Avoid the sugars. Sodas, juices aren't good either. Definitely drink little of them. Also breads, starches, and watch the fat intake because it makes it harder for your body to absorb insulin. Whole grains, green leafy, colorful veggies are great. I really just try to avoid sugars, fried foods, eating a lot of breads, and potatoes. If you exercise and watch your weight it will help a great deal with sugar levels also.

Answer 7

I'm a diabetic also, most hospitals have (and most insurance companies will pay) a diabetes education program. Basically, they will coach you on how best to monitor. Mine told me that I can have virtually anything I want to eat providing I watch the total carbohydrate intake for the day and spread the carbohydrate intake fairly evenly across the day. My diet allows for up to 6 carb servings per meal and up to 20 per day (15 grams of carbs = 1 serving). You'll have to talk with a doctor or dietitian to get your recommended level. You'll need to get real good at reading the food and portion labels. -- Good luck

Answer 8

In order to keep your blood sugar level under control, 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 Caffeine promote calcium excretion from the body and results in calcium loss from the bones. Drink plenty of water daily. Take one tablet of Diabecon (By Himalaya an Herbal Health Care Company in India) twice a day if available in your country, as a maintenance dose. Take care and be in good health.

Answer 9

Foods high on the glycemic index. The more sugar (natural or not), processed wheat, flour, processed foods you eat, and starchy foods like potatoes and corn, the worse for your blood sugar. Eat proteins like meat, eggs, cheese, cottage cheese, nuts, and veggies and fruits that are lower in sugar (apples vs. grapes, for example).

Answer 10

You should stop eating fattes foods and sweets the only time you eat sweets when you feel like your blood sugar is low and junk food.
