There are tons of cookbooks out there that have some really good recipes. When you are cooking without a specific recipe remember these things:
Starches:
Whole grain pasta, sweet potatoes, and brown rice are best
If you have a starch with a meal always make sure you have a protein. The protein breaks down the sugar in the starch. For instance, if you have pasta..make sure you have meatballs, or sausage, or some type of meat. Go easy on the pasta…1 C should be plenty.
Breads:
Again…whole wheat, multi grain breads. Stay away from white flour breads.
Sweets:
Limit yourself to once a week at most. There are sugar free desserts and pies that can scratch your itch.
Try not to use salt…use Mrs. Dash
Those are the basics….read as much info as you can.
I suggest 3 books: Atkins Diabetes Solution, Diabetes: The First Year, and South Beach.
You alone can determine what to eat. First is to get glucose levels down to normal, To do this you must learn a new lifestyle. Give up immediately all white foods, most tan or yellow foods, and look with suspicion on orange foods.
After you get back to semi normal glucose levels, you can try adding back in some of the foods you have given up.
Prepare a food to eat for a snack time, test glucose level, eat the food, and test again after about 90 minutes. If the food didn’t spike you to over 150, then put it in your food plan.
This is the way I planned my foods! and discovered what I can get away with occasionally and what is permanently out of my life!
Remember this is a lifestyle change, not a diet!
email me privately and we can discuss it more.
Here is the trick to diabetus, And this is comming from a diabetic of 13 years. It’s not what you eat, but how many carbohydrates it contains. The trick i’ve learned Is that you have the exact same amount of carbs per meal. I’m limmited to 90 carbs per meal, and 10 ounces of meat per day. The meat to be taken at any time, at any meal, or spread through the entire day evenly. Just as long as I dont exceede 10 ounces.
Here is the important thing. Those 90 carbs for meal can be candy if you want them to be, as long as you dont exceede 90 carbs per meal.
Now I will say, that if you want to actually be healthy, you might wanna get your carbs from something else than candy, but we are just talking about blood sugar here, not being healthy.
So, it’s not what you eat, it’s how much.
A world exclusive & revolutionary product is here which, I am sure, will be most useful to you in reducing diabetes.
It is none other than the Amezcua Bio Disc.
A revolutionary natural energy generating device, the Amezcua Bio Disc is the product of technically-engineered natural minerals that have been structurally bonded in glass and are capable of producing scalar energy frequencies. This long-lasting natural scalar resonance has the ability to be transferred to and rejuvenate the molecular structures of all liquids.
It is a new technology that doesn’t use medicatioin or pills or drugs or injection. It is a glass disc infused through nano technology and manufactured in Germany. If this product is used within 2-3 months, depending on the severity of the diabetes, the sugar level drops and then there may not be need for medication.

Drop the junkfood to a minimum. Go for a lot of fruits and vegetables and a normal diet of whatever you are used to; vegetarian if that’s your style, or regular meat and potatoes if that’s more your type. You also want to eat your normal three meals a day. A regular routine, clockwork sort of habits is very important for diabetics.

One diabetic strategy is to consume very small low-carbohydrate portions about every hour. Calculate approximate daily calorie consumption for weight loss objectives.http://health.howstuffworks.com/question…
Wal-Mart sells a 16-ounce bag of World Kitchens beef jerky for around $8.50 . . cut up and weigh 1-ounce portions. Jennie-O turkey franks. Sugar-free jello. String cheese sticks. 1-ounce portions (around 1/3 cup) of snack mix made from 1-part party peanuts, 1-part small crushed corn chips, and 2-parts no-sugar puffed wheat or rice. Blend sugar-free pudding powder with water and low-carb (4 grams) vanilla yogurt instead of milk for 1/2 cup servings. For a sugar-free float, blend around 1-1/4 cup A&W diet root beer, 1/2 cup vanilla pudding, and 6 ice cubes. Chocolate pudding makes good fudge pops.http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/B000G32H3Y/…http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/1294/…
Might also consider taking a daily multi-vitamin and 81mg aspirin (if not adverse).
When we have to instruct our patients about their new Diabetes Diet we’ll usually tell them to follow the low glycemic index diet, which this is just a list of common foods and their nutritional value as well as how it can affect or benefit you blood sugars. Check the website out:http://www.pccnaturalmarkets.com/health/…
My husband has been a diabetic about 18 years. This is what his dietitian recommended for him. Low fat, low carbohydrate diet, as follows: For a man she recommended 5 carbohydrates at a meal. For a woman she recommended 4 carbhydrates at a meal. 1carb. = 22 Grams or less. Read your food labels for serving sizes and amount of total carbs.
Also beside the 4 or 5 carbs, my husband get a small amount of protein, baked or broiled, about the size of a deck of cards.( 3 oz. ) such as a bonelss chicken breast. Also a side salad with 2 tablespoons of light dressing. For his fifth carb he can have 3 or four sugar free cookies, depending on the serving size.
Example: 1 slice 100% whole wheat bread= 13 grams=1 carb.
1 small fruit OR 1/2 cup of fruit, no sugar added = 12 grams=1 carb.
1 cup l% sweet milk or low fat buttermilk = 12 grams = 1 carb.
1/2 cup starchy vegetable such as a1/2 cup corn or small potatoe = 1 carb.
1/2 cup oatmeal, cooked in 1 cup of water, for breakfast = 27 grams = 2 carbs.
1 egg cooked in Pam = His protein for breakfast.
1 slice whole wheat bread
1/2 grapefruit
1 cup 1% milk
I hope this helps. You really need to ask your doctor to send you to a registered dietitian to help teach you what and how much to eat. Every person is different and has different needs. A dietitian can design a diet especially for you. Some recommend that you eat three meals a day and others recommend six small meals a day.
A diabetic can eat just about any vegetables, but needs to measure everything. Most of the time it is a 1/2 cup serving, but on beans she recommended my husband to only eat 1/3 cup. This is because they have so much starch in them, and starch turns into sugar in the stomach.
You need to eat whole grains, and avoid white bread and white flour. These are very bad for diabetics. Please don’t skip meals, this will make your blood glucose have the yo-yo effect. Sometimes low and sometimes high.
I wish you the very best of luck with your diabetes. Take care of yourself.
Here are some good websites that can give you more information on diabetes: http://www.ada.org, http://www.webmd.com, about.com, mayoclinic.com.
