A managed diet can greatly help diabetics, especially those with type 2 diabetes, often alongside exercised and prescribed medication. You really can take control by monitoring what you eat and sticking to certain foods in specially-formulated diabetic recipes. Whilst the rules are not set in stone, there are certain foods that you should try to avoid in your cooking.
Starches, including pasta, bread, cake, potatoes, rice etc., are high in carbohydrates which, once consumed, are broken down into glucose with the aid of the insulin in your body. If you are diabetic then your insulin is unable to perform this task properly, which means it is a good idea to monitor your carbohydrate intake to make sure that your body is able to get the amounts of glucose it needs.
Too many carbohydrates mean that your blood glucose level may rise well above the normal level, though eating too few will mean that your body will be lacking the energy that it really needs. For this reason what and when you eat becomes extremely important. Eating smaller portions throughout the day could mean that you will not need as much insulin to bring down your blood sugar level, whereas eating too much at once will require a lot of insulin which diabetics do not have.
A meal plan will help you to keep track of how many carbohydrates you are taking in. It may be difficult at first to monitor this, but ask your doctor for advice and make meals using recipes with ingredients you know you can measure.
