what are restricted food for a diabetic patient?

Answer 1

a diabetic patient doesn't have any "restricted foods"! They can eat whatever they want within reason! If they want chocolate cake with chocolate filling and icing, then they should eat it.

However, limiting certain foods to very small servings has some definate advantages! the person has to use less medications such as insulin if they limit all starchy foods to a minimum.

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.
