Diabetes Diet For Diabetes Cure

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder. So it means that along with medicines and exercise, diet too forms a very important part of the treatment plans. Now that leads us to an important question. What foods should a Diabetic eat and what foods should they avoid?
The first tip is to space out all your meals evenly and keep the amount of each serving fairly consistent. As with any other metabolic disorder, remember to eat frequent and small meals, so that the meals are digested properly. Eat more of starches. Now what are the starches which are advisable? Bread, pasta, potatoes, cereals, corn, crackers, rice, yams etc are common starchy foods.




Vegetables are the next in the safe list for Diabetics. Carrots, Beans, broccoli, tomatoes, bitter gourd, okra, celery, beet root, capsicum, cabbage etc are all included in the list.
The best way to eat them is uncooked and raw. Even if you prefer eating them cooked, try to just steam them or still better to just boil them. While using vegetables as salads, keep the dressing to the bare minimum. And no dressing with cream or fat.
Fruits are an important part of a well balanced diet. Vitamins and other essential nutrients are found only in certain fruits. But it is always better to avoid large servings of sweet fruits. Apples, mangoes, guava, peaches, pears, strawberries can be included in your daily diet. But here a special mention about goose berries and blue berries as they have definite blood sugar or blood glucose reducing or lowering properties.
Milk can be had in two ways, both as skimmed milk or fat free milk and as curd. But Curd has to be fat free. Avoid sweets on a daily basis, but tiny servings once in a while should be permissible.

Controlling blood sugar is really an art. If you want to be an expert and safe, you should know the description of foods to eat AND foods to avoid with diabetes.
