| Eat To Beat Diabetes |
How do you know what to eat?
Try to eat a variety of foods and to be aware of which foods contain carbohydrate. Carbohydrate raises blood sugar higher and more quickly than any other nutrient does.
• A dietitian or diabetes educator can help you learn to keep track of how much carbohydrate you eat and how much you need.
• Protein, fat, and fibber do not raise blood sugar as much as carbohydrate does. If you eat a lot of these nutrients in a meal, your blood sugar will rise more slowly than it would otherwise.
• Spread carbohydrate throughout the day. Eat some carbohydrate at all meals, but do not eat too much at any one time. Carbohydrate is found in sugar, breads and cereals, fruit, starchy vegetables such as potatoes and corn, and milk and yogurt.
I’ll share with u two healthy, low fat, & low carbohydrate recipes, which are u make sure like to eat.
