Diabetes Talk Show- ALL CARBS ARE NOT BAD FOR DIABETES
Today, most people with Diabetes are encouraged to eat a
balanced diet of lean meats & dairy, whole grains, healthy fats, fruits &
vegetables. But how much carbohydrate should people with Diabetes really
eat?
Thinking
that every carb food is “bad” is a very misinformed & dangerous assumption.
The fact is almost all foods have their positive & negative points.
Are
some carb foods not so healthy? On the other
side, there are plenty of carb foods that are highly nutritious, such as sweet
potatoes, black beans & raspberries.
Fiber
is important because it keeps your digestive system to work properly. In fact, eating lots of fiber
can even help to slow the body's absorption of sugar when eaten together with
sugar in the same food.
Some
experts think that people with Diabetes should eat more fiber than people
without diabetes to help control blood sugar.
Refined
carbs like cookies, cake, soda, white
bread, white pasta etc are the types of carbs to limit, whereas unrefined carb
foods, such as vegetables, fruit, whole grains, and legumes, are good carbs.
Balancing Your Carbs
After
you eat food that has carbohydrates in it, your blood sugar goes up. As far as
controlling your Diabetes is concerned, your aim is to balance the insulin in
your body & the exercise you do with the carbs you eat. Balancing insulin,
physical activity & carb intake keeps your blood sugar levels in a healthy
range.
If
you're not sure how many carbohydrates a food contains, check the label or ask
your doctor or nutritionist. Also, check the labels of diet foods before you
chow down because these products may be low in fat, but could contain extra
sugar. By performing a balancing act with carbohydrates, exercise, and insulin,
you can keep your blood sugar in line and still enjoy good eats.
