What kind of food to eat more and what kind of food to avoid for someone with diabetes?



What kind of food to eat more and what kind of food to avoid for someone with diabetes?

First of all, the answer you have received about cinnamon is incorrect. Cinnamon is actually supposedly good in lowering blood sugars and, in fact, many doctors recommend it as a supplement. There are conviently capsuled cinnamon products out (just like swallowing a pill) these days that you might want to consider adding to your diet.

Diet is unique to the individual, so be sure to consult with your doctor / specialist before altering your diet in any dramatic way. Some basics for diabetic diets include:
-- Minimal sugar intake
-- Low carb foods
-- Low sodium (can cause high blood pressure which is connected to diabetes)
-- Low fat content foods (to lower triglycerides)
-- Portion control (smaller portions ... avoid "supersizing" anything)

Talk to your doctor and ask him / her to refer you to a registered dietician to assist you with your meal planning. There are also numerous excellent websites out there on diabetic meal planning. To find these, simply do a search and check a few out.

Good luck and best wishes in your search... Source(s): I am a Diabetes Health Educator and a Type 2 diabetic.
Other than sugars and sodas, I know diabetics should stay away from Cinnamon.
