When you have Diabetes, you have to be especially careful when it comes to your diet. The good news is that you don't have to go out and buy lots of expensive food with names you've never heard of. Diabetics can eat many of the same healthy foods as everyone else. However, it's important that diabetics monitor their carbohydrate intake. By doing so, diabetics can have better control over their blood glucose (or blood sugar) levels. They should also monitor the amount of fat, salt, and cholesterol they consume, since having regular blood pressure levels and low LDL cholesterol levels are an important part of the diabetic lifestyle.
With that said, healthy choice for breakfast would include foods low on the glycemic index. The glycemic index is a way to measure the effect a food will have on one's blood sugar after a meal. The lower the food is on the glycemic index, the less likely it is that the food will send your blood glucose levels soaring. People who eat mostly foods low on the glycemic index also tend to have lower levels of body fat. Foods with little or no carbohydrates, like eggs, cheese and most vegetables, have no glycemic index value. These are good foods to incorporate into your breakfast.
Whole grain foods, like whole wheat bread, brown rice, oatmeal, and whole grain crackers, have a low glycemic index value (55 and under), and are good to have for breakfast in moderation.
Avoid or limit your intake of foods and beverages high in sugar, like fruit juice and sugary cereal. Check the nutrition facts of cereals before purchasing them, because cereals often have hidden sugar that you wouldn't expect (who ever thought that Corn Flakes had extra sugar?). You should also do this for bread since bread often has hidden sugar.
Many stores have low glycemic varieties of bread and cereals. If you must have your glass of O.J, make it the low sugar variety, or mix it with 1/3 to _ parts water. Also, avoid foods made with refined grains, like white bread.
Starting your day off right with a low-glycemic breakfast is a significant step in improving and maintaining your health when you're diabetic.
