Diabetes is high blood sugars (BG) carbohydrates turn to BG. eat less carbohydrates (carbs) have lower BG.
To find what works for you, get a BG meter, keep a log of
time - what you eat - BG
test before you eat, 1 hour after you eat, 2 hours after you eat. If BG is over 140 eat less carbs or take more drugs.

All foods may be eaten in moderation if you have diabetes, but too many carbohydrates may increase your blood glucose levels. Carbohydrates break down into sugars easily, so healthy carbohydrates such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes such as beans and peas and low-fat dairy products should constitute the majority of this food group.
carbohydrates (carbs) your body turns carbs to BG, period. that is what your body does with carbs.
t that healthy.
I do not understand the exact relation between the amount of carbohydrates taken and the glicemic index. Could I eat food of low glicemic index, and still obtain the amount of carbohydrates required daily???? Does high glicemic index means more carbohydrates??? or there is no direct relationship between both???
Most fruits people think of as fruits are almost all carb. If it's not fat or protein it's carbohydrate, which is why the whole concept of low carb diets is off. Vegetables are carbohydrates, but it wouldn't be healthy do without them. What low carb really means, or should mean, is avoiding simple carbs, such as sugar and white flower. Most fruits as we think of them are high in sugar, though it's not as quick to metabolize into simple sugar as processed cane sugar.
Vegan is fine just remember its carbohydrates that raise BG
Choose healthy snacks that contain some protein, carbohydrates and beneficial fats. Good options include a handful of unsalted nuts, fresh or dried fruit, yogurt, vegetable sticks and whole-grain bread or crackers.
Eat more fiber. Navy beans, kidney beans, chickpeas and lentils are all rich in fiber, which slows the release of insulin and helps maintain a steady supply of energy.
ve gotten from those close to me is to eat protein, try to limit carbs, definitely keep sugar intake as low as possible. I agree with the sugar, but I have found that eating protein does nothing to curb my symptoms. I've tried nuts as snacks and various bean salads, vegetables...but I almost feel like they make it worse. Only when I eat something heavy in carbs do I feel better. Whole wheat toast, peanut butter with crackers, rice, etc.
For persons with diabetes, the optimal diet (for making blood sugar control easier) is one which is low in carbohydrates, moderate in protein (approx. 1g/kg body weight) and high in naturally occuring fats.
Your diet should also be high in vegetables (limit starchy veges such as potato, corn, etc, and also not too much fruit, particularly tropical fruits, which are very sweet), which are important for good nutrition.
Eat low fat meats (chicken, fish, loin of pork) or non-meat sources (soy products, nuts), low fat vegetarian combinations (rice & beans, pasta & beans, low fat cheese & pasta), substitute dairy products (low fat soy milk/soy yogurt), use plant oils, non trans-fat margarines, and eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. Eat daily high fiber breads and cereals (oatmeal). Portion sizes are important and daily balanced diet of proteins, carbohydrates and fat.
It is actually the work of the high carbohydrate content in the meal that induces such a feeling. Ingestion of increased quantities of carbohydrates, especially simple carbohydrates, increases the level of serotonin in the body, which alters the mood. Simple sugars like candy and sweets can convert sadness and sorrow to an ‘all’s well with the world’ attitude for about an hour or two.
Some raw vegetables are indeed very hard for anyone to digest, such as broccoli and kale, but others, such as sprouts and carrots, are not, so eliminating all raw vegetables is silly. You say avoid carbohydrates, but all vegetables are carbohydrates, so are you saying don't eat any foods rich in antioxidants? Cayenne pepper, for those who are used to it in their cultures, actually helps to heal the mucosal lining of the stomach. Sesame seeds? Really? Onions?
You are underweight for your height. Due to the fact you are extremely underweight and you need to gain weight slowly, recommend a Heart Healthy diet which means a moderate fat diet to increase ‘good’ fats to benefit your body. Moderate fat diet means = use polyunsaturated (omega 3, corn oil, nuts, etc) fats and monounsaturated (olive oil, canola oil, peanut oil, etc) fats, no saturated fats (high fat snack foods, butter, fat spreads) and no trans fats.
Hypothyroidism disease slows down our metabolism and it does become difficult to lose weight. It is good that your MD did blood work on your thyroid hormone levels and is evaluating the proper medication (to regulate the thyroid). Research has indicated that the combination of thyroid medication, healthy eating and exercise will result in weight loss. An exercise program you are doing already which is great.
