If you or someone you love is afflicted with Diabetes, it is important to know what foods are and are not alright to eat. In general, diabetic food is food that is recommended for diabetic persons. These foods may be sweetened, but the sweeteners used, if any, are artificial. In the following text, we will review important information about diabetic foods, which will hopefully aid in proper food selection for those who have diabetes.
First and foremost, fruits and vegetable are absolutely essential for anyone with diabetes. Fruits and vegetables are an integral part of the diabetic food pyramid and anyone with diabetes must ensure that they intake they daily recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables everyday. People with diabetes need to focus less on eating meats and more on eating fruits and vegetables of all kinds. Foods like potato chips, candies and cookies all have high levels of sugars and fats, which diabetic persons should be trying to avoid.
Fruits are considered to be simple carbohydrates and simple carbohydrates are those which diabetic persons should be ingesting. In the case of candies, cookies and other such foods, the carbohydrates contained within those foods are complex and can be quite harmful for a person with diabetes. Most fruits are also considered to be low on the glycemic index, or GI, which is great for those who have diabetes. However, it should be noted that fruit juices and other sugar-sweetened drinks are not a good choice for diabetic persons. Thankfully, fruits have enough fast-acting sugars to bring diabetic persons to normal levels and eating fruits and vegetables on a regular basis will help any person maintain a healthier lifestyle.
When deciding which foods to eat and which foods to avoid as a diabetic, it is important to watch what sort of carbohydrates certain foods contain. Carbohydrates in general are primarily found in plant-based foods except for milk. While we have discussed the importance of fruits and vegetables in this text, it is also very important to ensure that diabetic foods of your choice do not contain too many complex carbohydrates. In fact, too many carbohydrates of any kind that are not paired with fiber will leave a diabetic person only momentarily satiated, leading that person to want or need some other sort of food or drink. While it is not necessarily a problem for a diabetic to want something more to eat or drink on top of what they have already consumed, it can become a problem if they are not finding the right foods or drinks to satiate their hunger or thirst.
