Common Questions and Answers about Diabetic foods sugar content
diabetes
One fig is likely harmless. But an excess of anything is harmful. Limiting yourself to moderate amounts of good quality food generally and specific foods in particular, is the key to healthy eating.
Figs are very rich (and sweet due to their high sugar content, so they're not a great choice for diabetics except sparingly, say, not more than 2 or 3 per day). They're tasty and have a good fiber content.
The cold fact about pre-diabetic 2 is like a little pregnant, you will become a full blown diabetic 2 in 2, 6.. years from now. It depends on what foods , what drinks you will consume.
If I were you, I would read this book:Diabetes Solution by DR. Richard Beirstein. It will tell what foods to avoid..and follow his rule:(6,12,12)
Please read my previous posts, you will find out low-carb foods you can buy at Walmart these days..
The more you do this, your symptoms will go away. Stop thinking of being pre diabetic and think of health foods and balancing, and stay away of simple sugars, potatoes, honey or regular rice and pastas. Have whole grains or even pasta made from brown rice or beans. Beans is also a great protein.
let me know if you have any more questions.
Do not base your nutritional plan on the Glycemic Index or Glycemic Load. What the GI or GL fail to mention are carbohydrates. Carbs are quickly digested. The easier a food is digested the quicker its sugars enter your bloodstream. Type 2 diabetics must pay careful attention to the amount of carbs eaten. Consider carbs as an equal to table sugar. On nutrition labels carb sugars are listed in grams. Every 7 grams equals one heaping Tablespoon of refined sugar.
Hi tety,
Reversal no but you can control it by diet; start out early and eat only the right foods, stay away from alcohol (very high sugar content), but don't punish yourself, still have your morning coffee, just without donuts hehe
It's great that you have no High chol & BP, but not so good that your blood sugar was 10. Aim to keep it between 5 on the lower end of the scale and no more than 8 on the high scale.
For example, most kids-type breakfast cereals make her shoot really high because of the sugar content. Foods that have good fiber content are more easy on her blood sugar. Have you heard of the glycemic index? It is a value that shows, essentially, the effect on your blood sugars. Foods with high glycemic index are generally ones that make blood sugars rise quickly, so they are generally ones you want to avoid.
I am 43yrs old man. Today I have done my blood sugar test by a testing machine after 3 hrs of eating. The result is 112 ml/dl .
Is this result is normal ?
Is this time 3 hrs wrong ?
I am waiting for your valuable reply.
1 stone, have been watching sugar content and sat fat content in foods and also trying to eat low carbs am reading today was 6.1 (one day last week had 5.9) (partners this morning was 5.2 was just curios) have not been testing in daytime, but test before evening meal so have not eaten for about 3 to 4 hours, this evening my reading was 4.9 is this good or bad ?
First thing you need have on hand is a home glucose test meter. The only way you're going to know how the foods you consumed affected your glucose [blood sugar] levels is by testing, testing, and more testing. Times to test are;
fasting - first thing in morning b4 having any food or colored liquids [plain water is OK]. This will tell you how much stored sugar your liver is dumping during sleep hours. Normal levels are 60/70 - 99 mg/dl or 3.33/3.88 - 5.
It is quite normal for blood sugar levels to fluctuate as yours have. As the foods that we eat metabolize, the blood sugar level is affected. In order to keep your blood sugars in good control, you should be following a healthy meal plan and getting regular exercise. Both of these factors play a major role in maintaining good control of your diabetes.
Good luck to you in finding out more about your new situation. Education is key.
