To provide enough energy every day, our body needs fuel. We can receive this fuel in different ways with our food. An important fuel supplier is carbohydrates.
Carbohydrates are a collective noun for starch and sugars. You can divide sugar into natural sugars like lactose, fructose and saccharine. Glucose is being made from these carbohydrates in our body. Glucose serves as fuel to be able to walk, talk and think – we need it for all our bodily functions. Every person has glucose in their blood. People also call it blood sugar.
It is advised that half of your meal should consist of carbohydrates. The best thing to do is not to use products that are rich in saccharine, because they are rich in fat. You should choose products that contain starch instead of the group of sugars. You will find starch in bread, potatoes, peas and beans, whole-wheat products, pasta and rice. Starch supplies us with the materials for glucose, just as sugars do but it is a more complex process of digestion and hence allows us to really use more of the sugars we receive from eating it, without storing too much fat as we spend also more energy generating them and burn calories to do so.
For diabetics, since they have to watch over the levels of blood sugar, this means they need to watch the levels of all carbohydrates (not just sugar) because they all are a source for glucose in the blood.

If you take medicine for your diabetes, you need to think about the times that you eat and also about what you need to eat when. You need to plan ahead to avoid trouble.
To go out for a meal can be great. But remember to make the right choices, ask for what you want, and if you eat out try to let it be equal to the amount of times that you eat when at home. Have fun but at the same time take good care of yourself.

Eating out is something that is normal in our lives, if it is a business meeting over diner, a fast-food meal with the children or a neighborhood barbecue. We eat out when we don't feel like cooking, when we want a different taste and because it is nice to enjoy a nice atmosphere in a restaurant or a nice meal without having to wash the dishes afterwards. But is it healthy?
Some restaurants have food low in cholesterol, fat, and sodium, and higher in fiber on their menu. A lot of restaurants offer sweeteners and diet drinks, low-fat salad dressing, low-fat milk, and salt substitutes. It is not hard to find baked or broiled food, whole-grain breads, salads, fish and vegetables.
Many restaurants have food that is healthy. You should ask the waiter for calorie and fat information on dishes on the menu. Chefs can make low-fat entrees using lean cuts of meat. Asking for skinless chicken or no butter on a certain dish is also possible. At some restaurants you can ask for smaller portions for less money.

It is very important for diabetics to have a meal plan. This is a scheme that tells them what kind of food they are allowed to eat and how much of it. This should fit your eating habits and daily routine. If it is followed, your blood sugar and pressure will improve, as will your cholesterol numbers. A good meal plan can help you loose weight or keep your existing one.

Knowing what to eat is confusing enough when you are healthy. There is always a new fad or a diet going on and tips about healthy eating change daily.
When you are suffering from Diabetes, it is especially important to keep to a correct diet, so your condition will not become any worse.
Here are a few tips about general healthy eating and meal planning for diabetics:
Eating vegetables is good for you. Most vegetables can taste really great if you know how to cook them. So take the time to research recipes for them. Keep your vegetables varied – eat from all colours – each colour usually stands for a vitamin or ingredient that your body needs. So a rainbow of vegetables on your plate is good for you. Non-starchy vegetables are the best.

I have been T2 for over three years now, doing well, but I have a problem I have never heard of before. I take glucophage in the AM and PM and my AIC is at 6.1. Not bad at all.
The problem is...I always have low reading after meals, if I am at say 115 before a meal, I can eat small serving potatoes, meat, veggies, coffee with sweetener, even dessert and I will have smaller numbers after the me

I was only diagnosed as diabetic in December 2005.
Although my local general practice has a dedicated diabetes nurse and two GPs spcializing in diabetes I do have a couple of questions.
My blood sugar meter is set by default to the same units the hospital used, mmol/L (milimoles per litre?). The other possibilty is mg/dL (miligrams per decilitre?). Is

Hi,
Yesterday, at the diabetes clinic (at my GPs surgery), I learnt a lot more. Particularly the dietician told me of a British diabetic who had to be checked in a US hospital for something like [i:500c0cef4c]deep vein thrombosis[/i:500c0cef4c]. He had, obviously, to tell the attending doctor that he was diabetic.
He was immediately asked what his “carbs” were (I don’t even know what carbs a

Hi,
My diabetes specialists recommend that I take my blood sugar levels (and blood pressure) once a day in the following pattern.
Day 1 - before breakfast, Day 2 - after breakfast, Day 3 - before lunch, Day 4 - after lunch, Day 5 - before supper and Day 6 - after supper - and then repeat. (After meals means 2 hours after food.)
This seems reasonable as it should produce a valid sampling a

It seems that many people confuse between T1 and T2 diabetes, so I'll do my best to explain the difference.
People who suffer from Type 1 diabetes (also knows as T1 diabetes), do not produce enough insulin, or don't produce insulin at all, and as a result have problems in using the carbs they eat. Such people must inject insulin in order to keep themselves a live.

My control improved... at last. I've been working very hard for the past 2 months. On my meter, the average dropped from over 9 mmol to 6.3mmol. I'll have my A1c later this week. But the best news is that I can drop completely the acarbose ( from 3 a day to 0 ) and cut down 1mg of Repaglinide ( from 4mg to 3mg) at each meal. Of course that also means that I have to stay at 15 to 20 grams o

I have to agree with Gemstone - genes play a major rule in this.

Hello ,
My name Chris Smith and I have type 1 Diabetes for 8 years now. I live in San Francisco having as much fun as possible, selling medical jewelry, and running a magazine.
Life is good, and diabetes does not slow me down until my sugars get raised due to stress.. and then watch out...
I look forward to adding more....

2 hours after supper, I took my bg on my left hand. As I ate pretty normally so was surprised to have a bg of 11mmol. To be sure, I took it on the right hand and got 8mmol. A difference of 3mmol is far too big.
Next meal I did the same, took my bg on both hands, still a difference of 3mmol. Now, I tested with another meter which read the same. Now, which hand is the good one? I'll chat w

Hi guys. I posted this on the sugarland blog and thought I would share it here.
I read what you said about your son, and yes it is wrong to assume that all T2's are overweight or obese. What is the bigger concern here is exercise. Your cells have insulin receptors on the outside of them. Insulin binds to them and a chain reaction occurs bringing glucose transporters to the cell surface in order

At the beginning, I was avoiding to tell people with whom I was having a meal that I have diabetes and was trying to stick to my diet without them noticing too much. Now, I don't hesitate and tell as anyway, I have pills to take with the first bite of the meal. The first question is always: Are you on insulin? When I say yes, insulin and pills, I get that *so sorry* look as of course,

How did everyone fair with the food and chocolate and family this weekend?
I cant resist chocolate...its like a drup....mhhmmmm i love it! I guess in a way being a T1 is a bit easier because if I know how many carbs it has then I can just give insulin to compensate. Although it still doesnt help the fact that diabetes gain weight like it aint no thang!

I want a printable sheet so I won't have to access the computer every time I have an info to add. I'd like to have space to write BG before and after meal, medication, food and notes.

A really easy low carb meal, is to cut up some chicken with any seasonings on it that you want, and add brocolli and cheddar cheese soup, and heat it up in the microwave until cooked and desired heat. You might want to cook the chicken a little before adding the soup and broccoli. My aunt came up with this when I was at her house today. She knew I had to watch what I ate and made this for me. It i
