what kinda healthy food should you eat when you have diabetes??

Answer 1

You need to educate yourself.
Have your endocrinologist set up an appointment with a dietitian and go to a diabetes ed class.
Start reading anything written within the past five years and become your own best advocate.
No one here can tell you what to eat.

Answer 3

Diabetics can eat a wide range of foods. The important thing is to stay away from fast acting sugars and read the labels of any processed foods. Words such as sucrose, fructose, corn syrup,
dextrose all mean sugar.

Buy plain yogurt and add your own fruit. The fruity yogurt has added sugar. Cheese is a slow acting sugar.....it lasts a long time. Avoid sweet fruits like grapes and kiwi, they are high in sugar. Avoid white breads, pasta and rice as much as possible.
There is a lot of diabetic research and information available. Contact the Boston University, they have done major diabetic research. Contact your local hospital and find out what dietary information is available from the dietician.
You are further ahead to eat 6 small sugar free or low sugar meals in a day if you are a type 2 diabetic. Avoid big meals as this sends your sugar levels up and down, and leads to fatigue, headaches, etc.
Just remember that you are in control, the more you know the better off you are. Do the research. It can mean the difference of losing your limbs, your kidneys, having a heart attack etc. Don't listen to everybody........KNOW your stuff and know what your best options are. This way when you go into a restaurant you won't panic, you'll know what to order based on the facts. You will be able to plan your meals and keep yourself healthy. Good luck. Its a real committment.

Answer 4

You can get some ideas from the ADA website (http://www.diabetes.org/nutrition-and-recipes/nutrition/overview.jsp ), or speak to your doctor or a dietitian/nutritionist. But, really, a healthy meal plan for people with diabetes is the same as that for everyone – low in fat (especially saturated and trans fat), moderate in salt and sugar, with meals based on whole grain foods, vegetables and fruit. Even starchy foods are part of a healthy meal plan. What is important is the portion size. Whole grain breads, cereals, pasta, rice and starchy vegetables like potatoes, yams, peas and corn can be included in your meals and snacks. The key is portions. For most people with diabetes, having 3-4 servings of carbohydrate-containing foods is about right. Whole grain starchy foods are also a good source of fiber, which helps keep your gut healthy. Hope this is helpful!

Answer 5

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 6

Start with whatever you eat now.

Eat, then test after eating at your spike time and if BG’s are too high then review what you ate and change the menu next time. Then do that again, and again, and again until what you eat doesn’t spike you. You will get some surprises, particularly at breakfast time. The so-called "heart-healthy" breakfasts are NOT for most type 2's.

Similarly, you will find variations through the day - the same thing will have different effects at breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper. But I can't say how they will affect others - only how it affected me - which is why we all need to test ourselves.

As you gradually improve your blood glucose levels, review the resulting way of eating to ensure adequate nutrition, fibre etc are included and adjust accordingly.

Then test again.

Test, review, adjust, always towards better and better health.

Answer 7

High blood levels of glucose can cause several problems, including frequent urination, excessive thirst, hunger, fatigue, weight loss, and blurry vision. However, because type 2 diabetes develops slowly, some people with high blood sugar experience no symptoms at all. How to treat diabetes naturally https://tr.im/rRaPg

Answer 8

There is no one single Paleo Diet, as our ancestors from all over the world ate dramatically different diets depending on the climate where they lived, their landscape, accessibility to water bodies, and the latitude that they lived. This is a detailed meal plan for the paleo diet https://tr.im/4J2Xd

In some cases, a Paleo Diet may be 90% plant foods and 10% animal foods, and in other cases, a Paleo Diet may be 90% animal foods and 10% plant foods.

For example, our ancestors that lived near the equator had year long access to more plant materials such as root vegetables and various fruits, veggies, and nuts.

On the other hand, our ancestors that lived at higher latitudes further away from the equator only had access to fruits and vegetables seasonally at one specific time period per year, and had larger periods of the year where they ate a higher % of meats, organ meats, fish, and other animal-based foods, or fermented foods that could be stored for winter.

Answer 9

Lots of a wide variety of vegetables, some fish and/or chicken, some whole grains, and a few fruits now and then. Avoid beef and dairy products and keep the fats and carbs down to low level. That's the general recommendation. If you want specifics, you'll have to fine tune the above to suit your particular needs. Get the book: "The Diabetes Improvement Program" by Quillin. It will tell you lots of really neat and helpful stuff.
