If you have type 2 Diabetes, it's important to monitor your eating habits carefully. Type 2 diabetes occurs when your pancreas no longer releases enough insulin to help your cells absorb the carbohydrates that enter your bloodstream after eating. Carbohydrates are on of the main food categories, other than proteins and fat, and are the source of energy absorbed by the body the quickest after eating.
Carbohydrates generally come in two types: Simple carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates are sugars, whether processed or in fruit, and processed grains like white flour-based foods. Complex carbohydrates are simple sugars bound together, and can be found in whole grains, beans and other legumes, nuts, and vegetables. Complex carbohydrates are said to be better for your body since they take your body a longer time to break down and process, thus keeping you full longer. Complex carbohydrates also have fiber, which is good for the digestive system.
In a type 2 diabetes diet, simple carbohydrates usually aren't forbidden, except in extreme cases of the disease. However it's important to limit your consumption of them. Instead, eat complex carbohydrates, and even then these must be in limited amounts as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
Protein rich foods like meat, cheese, and milk aren't a good source of carbohydrates. However, they can be high in fat, cholesterol and sodium. It's important that a type 3 diabetic limit their consumption of fat, cholesterol and sodium as well. Choose lean protein sources such as turkey, fish and chicken. Fat free skim milk is a healthier choice than whole milk, or even 1% milk can be used. Almond and soy milk can also be high in fat, so get the "light" variety.
When eating fruit, choose fruits that are low on the glycemic index. The glycemic index is a scale that measures the impact a particular food has on blood glucose levels. Fruits low on the glycemic index include peaches, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, Pears, apples, grapes, grapefruit, and dates.
Some store offer low glycemic versions of different products such as bread, peanut butter, pancake syrup, and waffles. Check with your local supermarket to see if they offer these choices.
