Lily Diabetes, and most other planning guides list the following as "Free Foods":
each free food contains less than 20 calories per serving, eating up to three servings per day.

Bullion, or broth (fat Free)

Calorie free soft drinks

Gelatin, Sugar free

Cranberries, or rhubarb (no sugar added)

Catsup (in teaspoon servings)
Hot sauce
Mustard
Salsa
Taco sauce ( up to 2 Tbsp servings)
vinegar

Be aware that some kinds of diets only "count" carbohydrates.
your doctor or nutritionist is the best source for diet information. several good sources of free information exist on the web. I like www.OneTouchGold.com. sign up is free, and a wealth of recipes, diet information , etc. is available on this site at no cost.

Answer 5

I would strongly suggest that you buy :

Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution: The complete guide to achieving normal blood sugars.

Fascinating book and turns the whole "diabetic diet" as traditionally taught by ADA and CDA out the window. It is firmly based in science, research. Dr. Bernstein is recognized as one of the foremost experts on diabetes, is a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition, American College of Endocrinology, and the College of Certified Wound Specialists. He has been diabetic for more than 60 years with little/no complications.

He makes a compelling argument

Answer 6

Diabetes is usually treated through a combination of diet (low sugar), exercise and medications/insulin. Milder cases can be controlled with just diet an/or exercise while more severe cases require meds or insulin as well.

Answer 7

Diabetic Diet
by
Kendra Blanchette, RD, CDE
The energy that we get from foods, measured in calories, comes from three types of nutrients: fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Any food that provides calories will raise blood sugar. When foods are digested, they are broken down into the body’s basic fuel-- glucose, a type of sugar. The glucose is absorbed by the bloodstream, and is then known as blood glucose or blood sugar. In a person without diabetes, insulin is released by the pancreas after a meal or snack to allow the glucose in the blood to get into the body’s cells, where it is burned for energy. This brings the level of glucose in the blood back down to the normal range. If insulin is not produced or is not working properly, the glucose can not enter the cells to be used, and it builds up in the bloodstream. This results in high blood sugar, and this condition is known as diabetes.
Although all foods that provide calories are converted into glucose by the body, certain nutrients have a more direct effect on the blood’s glucose level. Fats in foods are eventually digested and converted into glucose, but this can take up to 6 to 8 or more hours after a meal, and the release of glucose into the blood is very slow ... Protein in foods (such as meats, poultry, fish, eggs, soy and other beans, and milk) takes about 3 to 4 hours after a meal to "show up" as blood glucose.
Carbohydrates, on the other hand, take only about half an hour to an hour after a meal to be turned into blood glucose.
Any food that is high in any type of carbohydrate will raise blood glucose levels. Foods high in carbohydrates include starches such as rice, pasta, breads, cereals, and similar foods.
The goal is to provide a mixture of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins at each meal at an appropriate calorie level to both provide essential nutrients as well as create an even release of glucose into the blood.
