Common Questions and Answers about Diabetic foods oatmeal

Avatar f tn Whole wheat bread is wheat that is not milled as much so it contains the wheat fibers (that is why it is darker in color) as opposed to white bread. Soft wheat does not have much fiber as whole wheat bread. Multi-grain and whole grain breads have added grains/seeds, such as oatmeal, and sesame seeds. The label will list the additional 'grains'.
Avatar n tn I'm a type II diabetic diagnosed this year with food allergies: corn, peanuts, soybeans, eggs and lettuce and various things in those families. That puts a great many "health" and low fat foods off my list and diabetic staples like eggs are a fond memory. I can't find any information out there to help me balance these evils (diabetes and allergies) against each other.
1827931 tn?1317905317 It is not gone, but if I watch what I eat and how late I eat, it is much better than it was before the oatmeal. I still cannot say 100% that the oatmeal is what helps, but nothing else has changed in my diet. I will not even stop the oatmeal for testing purposes, if it seems to works I will stick with it. I just wanted to reduce my food intake at work. A heavy lunch was killing my comfort level while working. Then I found this side benefit. Can oatmeal really help this much?
Avatar f tn What are healthy foods or meals i can eat to keeo my baby healthy and so he can grow i need help im 10 weeks
Avatar f tn By measuring your blood sugar response to different foods (test 2 hours after eating) you can work out which foods elevate blood sugar levels (Keep maximum blood sugar levels less than 140 (7.7), but even better if you can keep it below 100 (5.5). Exercise can also help you body to respond better to insulin and take up and use sugar in your blood. So a brisk walk for 30 minutes after eating could be helpful...
1330108 tn?1333677304 What kind of oatmeal are they talking about? Baby oatmeal is just the same granual size and thickness depends upon how much liquid is mixed into it. I use breastmilk and make it VERY liquidy. I could see why adding rice cereal would help for her maybe some extra calories :) great idea too for when they have a cold!
Avatar f tn s rated 1 star which is the lowest grade.....Then move over and check out their 4-5-6 star rated foods and go with one of them......The Bacon type snacks are full of toxins, too. Yes, you can give snacks but they need to have No By-products, No Dyes, No Glutens, etc. How bout baby carrots or sliced apples till you finds healthier treats.... The steak and chicken extras are fine as long as they have NO seasonings and are NOT fried........
Avatar n tn t offer dynamic guidance beyond mere blanket recommendations suited to the general population, which supposedly address the concerns of both the diabetic-in-denial and the diabetic that takes things seriously) Thankyou.
636891 tn?1365202536 re out there, you just have to find them. Talk with your grocer, let him/her know your interest in obtaining diabetic foods. When people show interest they will order them, the other way around if you remain silent.
229857 tn?1319029907 Also when do we introduce other foods? Im so confused about this. Some docs say 4 months some say 6...
Avatar n tn s all about diet, and keeping the head of her bed elevated to prevent the acid from flowing back into her esophagus. Spicy foods tend to make it worse, you should pull foods from her diet one by one to see if she improves until you find the culprit. Juices can also make this worse. If she isn't on any medication for the reflux ask her doctor about it, there are many medications to help with this. She's too young to have to be dealing with this, and I hope this helps. Best wishes.
Avatar n tn Hi again Abeybaby, Yes, oats are carbohydrates (as are all breakfast cereals like wheat, barley, rice, rye, corn). While all carbos affect our blood sugar (even folks like you without diabetes), "whole grain" carbos are easier on our systems and don't typically cause spikes in blood sugar, because they have fiber to slow the digestion process. Your blood sugars after eating sound normal to me.
Avatar m tn That said, if you are eating pork chops, bacon, steaks, etc. and mixing in oatmeal to counter the effects of high cholesterol foods, I doubt that it would help. I just got out of the hospital with a cardiac issue, and was issued the 'cardiac' menu to choose foods. The only red meat option was beef bullion, but there was a strong emphasis on whole wheat, soy, chicken, baked fish, etc. I think it's a matter of what foods to avoid while adding good fiber that helps.
Avatar m tn Your doctor may have a sample diet menu or be able to recommend a nutritionist to help you understand the proper diet. There are also may diabetic cook books on the market that can help you to understand how to make common foods that are not going to spike your blood glucose. Additionally you should ask your doctor about an exercise program.
Avatar n tn A major problem everyone deals with when first diagnosed lies with not understanding what foods to eat and what foods to avoid. I think everyone first starting out, including myself, misunderstood how important foods we consume affect our glucose levels. And no, medication will not allow you to eat any food one wants. Medication helps you to lower glucose levels. The key word is 'help'. The best approach to diabetes is, of course, prevention.
1290943 tn?1272093764 I am a Type 1 diabetic and can't eat cereal at all. I eat eggs in any form for breakfast, plain scrambled, with vegies, omelettes, etc. I am able to eat one slice of good bread for toast. You can also find lower carb breads. Eggs are about the best for the morning as for many of us it is the time we can eat the least carbs. Has she figured out her insulin:carb ratios? Mine are definitely lower in the morning (mine are 1:7, 1:9 and 1:18). Btw this is the Type 2 forum!
1720613 tn?1309432604 does diabetic sugar level up to 30 can be reduced my exercise only without taking medicine??
Avatar f tn t believe I have it, with my bs readings they seem within the norm non diabetic range... My lowest first thing in morning is 4.9 before breakfast.. Going upto 7.3 2hrs after eating breakfast... Confused!
Avatar n tn You say you're sure your tests (plural) showed a diabetic profile, then you say my test (singular) showed that... And, then you say you're a lifelong hypoglycemic. Tell us what these test(s) are. The word "usually" indicates your home test results are not always in the normal range which makes you a diabetic.
Avatar f tn Hello all. I have had hives all over my body in as many as 15 different locations at the same time. I've tried singular, zyrtec, Claritin, benadryl, oatmeal baths and nothing helps in the least. In the last day I've also experienced headache and nausea. No new foods, drinks or environmental changes. Please note I also have multiple diseases such as Lupus, Posteral orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, gastroparisis, etc.
2006603 tn?1331329327 And i noticed that the gerber jar food comes in labels of 1st foods, 2nd foods and 3rd foods, is that the order your supposed to introduce them? and when can you introuce actual food. I feel like my motherly instincts should be telling me this but i honestly have no clue and im afraid that i wont introduce solid foods right.. So my questions are - 1 - Can you start with gerber jar foods? 2. Is the labels on gerber jar foods 1st, 2nd and 3rd foods the order your supposed to feed them in. 3.
Avatar f tn I have been trying to get my blood sugar down. I changed my diet to oatmeal and 5 strawberries for breakfast, salad for lunch, dry bran cereal for snack, Healthy Choice Meal for dinner, and slice of bread n peanut butter for bedtime snack to take with my janumet. Because Janumet makes me feel nausea. My blood sugars are running 308 this week and last night it drop to 219 and gave me a headache.
Avatar f tn And at birth, they do a heel prick test on bub straight away to check the sugar levels, and if they are too high or too low, bub will be put on an IV drip to regulate the glucose level. But managing a diabetic diet is not that hard really, and you'll be fine. Just gotta say goodbye to mcdonald's, choccies, lollies and junk food!
