Believe Regarding Diet

A diabetic diet does not at all mean that you stop enjoying

the good tasting food. The truth is you will largely continue to eat many of the same things, just smaller portions and with fewer carbohydrates. You will also need to eat more often, in order to provide your body with a more even distribution of sugars throughout the day.

Most food that is processed through our bodies is broken

down by digestive juices into a sugar called glucose.

Glucose is the fuel our bodies run on. When we eat, and

our food is processed, the pancreas is supposed to produce

the right amount of glucose from our blood automatically and

release the right amount of insulin into our blood.

In many cases, when you are trying to control your blood sugar levels by your diet, you may also be trying to lose some extra weight.

This will require eating even slightly less and watch

those carbs even more. Carbohydrates are a very important part of your diet. Current thinking in diabetic diets says that about half of your calorie intake should come from carbohydrates.  You will need to reduce our meats as well, because they often are high in fats. This may mean smaller portions, too, and it is a good idea to add in fish about twice a week. Some fish are very healthy because of omega-3 fats, which will also help to reduce cholesterol levels, too.
