Pre-diabetic - eat a healthier diet and lose weight. Limit carbohydrates to correct serving sizes. I found that by adding more foods other than carbs I have been able to control my blood sugars and keep my weight down.
Good luck!
There is widespread acknowledgement that carbs play a role in controlling blood glucose, but carbohydrate foods also contain nutrients (vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients) that can help to regulate appetite, blood sugar, and weight. The keys are: amount, form, and timing. Modest amounts of whole grains and whole fruits do not give high blood sugar. Replacing rice or potatoes with barley, legumes or sweet potatoes can help control prevent diabetes. Eating at regular intervals also helps.
Yes, all carbs turn to sugar but too much protein will wreck your kidneys. Moderation is the key and our bodies do need some sugar. You can't just swear off it completely. Just have it as complex carbs... and that includes veggies.
these are the same old recommendatiions that they have made for a dibetics forever. They refuse to acknowledge the role that carbohydrates play in controlling blood glucose levels. The fact is that when you eat carbohydrates 85% of it converts to sugar, so if you are having trouble keeping your glucose levels in check reduce the carbs in your dietause wheter they are good carbs or bad carbs they all turn into SUGAR.
Eating all things in moderation is the best. And eating a well balanced diet is the key. Yes certain fruits can raise blood sugar. However certain people react differently. Bananas are starchiest so it is best to stray away from those. Apples eat tart ones they are lowest in sugar. As for berries, don't add sugar, they are high enough in that area and what is it 1/2 a cup a serving. Again eat in moderation. I have a friend who finds that green grapes raise his sugar and red ones don't.
i have type 1 diabetes and controlled by insulin its not the calories you have to watch it's the carbohydrates, as for fruit and myself it is not the worst thing for a diabetic with type 1, fruit included into your diet when carb counting is ok, As i have talked to my dietician and yes fruit and veg is perfectly ok as long as you are able to count it proparly, and also adjust your insulin for each carb u take,as the insulin i take is the lantus which is a lot easier to control than the old stuff
Are you crazy? Please people, especially Type1 diabetics, don't listen to this advice. I don't know where this information came from but it is so wrong. Fruit? are you serious? that is the worse thing for any Diabetic. Talk to a trained nutritionist if you have questions.
The carbs are bad but the high fiber content negates the carbs. Subtract the amount of fiber from the carb content to get net carbs. It's good advice if you eat in moderation.
