subject: Ideal Diabetic Meal [print this page]


There are certainly a lot of dos and donts for a diabetes patient to follow especially on the food consumption. As all of us are aware of, diabetes is a condition where the body is unable to absorb glucose content and convert it into energy form. This is mainly due to the failure to produce insulin produced in the pancreas. To control the level of glucose content in your body, it is always advisable to take ideal diabetic meals as recommended by doctors or pharmacists.

As a diabetic patient, you must take foods from different categories. For example, you should take more chickens, meats or fishes that contain protein. Besides that, you also need to take carbohydrate such as bread, rice or cereals to give you more energy.

Other than that, vegetables are important as well. Vegetables contain lots of vitamins and nutrients which are need by our body. Some of the examples are celeries, tomatoes, cabbages, radishes or mushrooms. Make sure you take fruits everyday which contain Vitamin A and C.

You must avoid taking foods that are high in cholesterol and saturated fat. Some of the examples are organ meats and canned processed food. Try not to eat too much of fried foods as well as they are oily. Do not consume too much of sugar at a time. Do consult your doctor for the amount of sugar needed in your body everyday.

You must drink plenty of water daily. Water can help to remove the toxin in your body. An ideal amount of water would be 6-8 glasses per day.

The serving amount for these ideal diabetic meals depend on the activities that we engage in. Do not eat too much at a time; try to take 4-5 small meals everyday. This will help in digesting the food as well as to avoid too much of sugar content consumed at one time.
