Common Questions and Answers about Diabetic snacks foods
diabetes
But maybe some of the snacks and foods that are more diabetic-geared will help us not freak out if we see a higher BG. I have found many different groups/websites where I can buy their products, and is this something we should consider? But any kind of site where we could go and see a list of foods/snacks would certainly give us a better feel for this starting period (as if there really is such a thing for this disease).
It seems as though many of you JDRF volunteers who are also diabetic have had it for a long time without any complications. I was wondering how you managed your diabetes and how strict you are with your diet, like do you only eat set meals throughout the day and stay away from foods with a high glycemic index? If you do eat foods with a high GI, like a banana, do you wait a while after taking your insulin to give it a headstart?
I am not a physician, but am a long-time type 1 diabetic, diagnosed 34 years ago. I can only answer from my own experience, both as a chld and now as an adult, but several common-sense things come to mind.
First, I would give her doctor a call before she leaves in case he has any suggestions for you. It appears that her glucose control is within acceptable ranges from her last ha1c, so the important thing will be to keep doing whatever you are doing now while she is traveling.
The healthiest diet is one mostly comprised of unprocessed foods; meats, eggs, veges, some fruits. Alcohol should be taken in moderation.
Seems that you know what you need to do. It will be up to you to do this.
Eat only foods that you can stomach. Your body will tell you. If you have no food aversions you are very lucky. Just remember to stay away from alcoholic drinks, and raw or foods that are not well done...moderation with everything. Eat yogurt, eggs, protein shakes, lots of fruits even dried fruits as snacks, saltine crackers. Eat every 2 hrs to keep nausea at bay. Fluids...
I have been craving some SERIOUS spicy foods, I want buffalo chicken wraps, jalapeno poppers, buffalo chicken dip, anything spicy!! I just love it, I've always loved it, but it's worse now!!
Have as much non starch veg, meat and healthy fats as you want in each meal. Eat whole foods, and stay away from processed foods. Eat full fat cheeses and yogurts, and stay away from low or no fat stuff. Especially stay away from low or no fat yogurt (it has same effect as candy in your body). With this way of eating, you will stabilize your blood sugar (needed for diabetic condition) and it will reduce inflammation in your body. Good luck.
We had our son tested and his blood sugar level after 12 hour fasting was 158 so now we are in search for a pediatric endo. Any advice on what we should do in the mean time as far as foods to feed and good snacks for him would be helpful.
As Zoelula stated, almonds, walnuts and pecans are very appropriate for a diabetic diet.
I have been a diabetic for years...eat healthy lots of veggies fruits whole grains...watch your carbs stay away from sugary foods and drinks and stay active and monitor your blood sugars...ask your Dr if you can see ask nutritionist they can give you good info on what foods to stay away and which to eat.
ive just been diagnosed with type 2 diabeties, but i cant help snack on the wrong foods? i know this will be harmful in the long run, but what about now? its really hard to adjust to eating the rights food, when im craving the snacks. can you advise what i can do please?.
Sugary snacks are my biggest enemies. Though I am not a diabetic, I have a family history of diabetes so I try to eat a low GI diet. It is hard to resist those sugary snacks and I find that if I have eaten too many sugary snacks for a few days, I feel very anxious. This can happen regardless of my cycle. I have read many years back a book where the author links panic disorder to low sugar levels even in people who are not diabetic.
i was diagnosed at borderline diabetic at 16. i am 25 now, about 6 months ago i was diagnosed as type 2 diabetic and put on metformin, 500 mg, 2X per day. i take my medication as prescribed and was told to LIMIT sugar and carbohydrate intake.my sugar is usually 65-70 when i first wake up and stays stable thoughout the day (i don't check it if i don't feel sick).
Also, even though you're married, it doesn't mean you both have the same dietary needs or reactions. If you're diabetic, for example, and your husband isn't, you obviously have very different dietary guidelines to follow. If you're ill in some way and your husband isn't, you either have to agree to eat as you have to eat or to not eat together, which isn't a terrible or uncommon thing.
