What is the basic principal of eating as a diabetic?

got theanswer asked:


I have recently been diagnosed as a “borderline diabetic”.

I am almost 41 years old. I have illiminated sugar and white flour to the best of my ability from my diet and eat three meals a day with a snack in the evening. So far, I have lost 15 pounds in 30 days; my current weight is 235.0 lbs and I am 5′10″.

My question is, what is the basic principal of eating as a diabetic? Is there an amount of protein/carbs/fat that one should eat to maintain a constant glucose level in the blood? Or a specific timing?

Thank you so much for your help.

Bobby

      Limit your carb intake. The body turns all carbs into sugar. With simple carbs; sugar, honey, syrup, etc. the body converts these quickly causing your blood sugar to spike so avoid these. Complex carbs like rice, oatmeal, beans, etc. take longer to convert so your blood sugar doesn’t spike, but it will still go up. You also have to be careful not to eat too much protein. Protein won’t effect your blood sugar, but will effect your kidneys which are already working overtime trying to get rid of the excess sugar. Make an appointment and talk with a dietitian. In the meantime practice portion control. That’s where most of us get in trouble. 1/2 Cup is a serving of starch like corn, beans, pasta, potatoes. 1 Cup is a serving of raw veggies and 1/2 Cup cooked veggies = a serving. 1 oz. of meat = 1 serving of meat. Watch your diet and talk with a dietitian and you should be able to control your diabetes without having to go on meds. OH and always carry some hard candy with you in case your blood sugar gets too low. Good luck with this.
