Healthy Diabetic Recipes
Diabetics ought to help control their blood sugars by eating the right sort of foods, here are a few ideas on what to cook for diabetics.
For some first-hand advice on living with juvenile diabetes go to juvenile-diabetes.blogspot.com for
tips on how to live life to the full.
Living with diabetes can be a very frustrating task, but it also could open windows for new, tasty foods
to be tested. There are so many different vegetables at the supermarkets, that we are spoilt for
choice.
Some simple and easy diabetic recipes could be as quick as roasting some sweet potato, sausages
and tomatoes, and boiling some runner beans to go with it. Or you could put beans, peas, pearl
barley, chicken (pan-fried), stock and cabbage in a slow cooker for a few hours. The most important
thing when trying to create simple recipes for those with diabetes, is to think about using low GI
(Glycaemic Index) carbohdrates, such as barley, rye or buckwheat.
Diabetic Christmas baking recipes are notoriously difficult to find, as sugar and white flour are the
staples at Christmas time, especially in cookies, desserts and candy. The best advice to give is to
recommend that you find a recipe that you enjoy, and replace half the flour with a wholemeal version
and replace half the sugar with honey.
There is little difference between type 2 and type 1 diabetic diet recipes, as both are based on low
sugar and high fibre. Both sorts of diabetics ought to be counting carbohydrates (talk to your doctor
about this for more infrmation) although type 2 diabetics may rely only on diet to control blood sugar
levels.
There are lots of diabetic recipes to be found on the internet and in books, but there are very
infreuqently good recipes for snack bars. Instead, look for snack bar recipes that rely on oats, honey
and dried fruit, with no added sugar. Check out the snack recipes page for more healthy ideas.
Low carbohydrate diets are the best sort of diets to follow, but beware as carbohydrates are still an
important part of every meal. Always eat carbs, but lower the amount and change to less refined
versions.
