10 Best Type 2 Diabetes Snacks
Healthy Combinations Ready in Minutes When you have type 2 diabetes, a smart strategy for controlling your blood sugar levels is to think of snacks as miniature versions of meals and plan your carbs accordingly. Snacks with a good mix of protein, fat, and fiber will help keep hunger at bay and your blood sugar on an even keel throughout the day. "Since a meal should include 45 to 60 grams of carbohydrates, a snack should have around 15 to 20 grams," says Katherine Basbaum, MS, RD, a clinical dietitian in the Cardiology and Cardiac Rehabilitation departments at University of Virginia Health System in Charlottesville. By the same token, she says, fill your snack plate the same way you would for a regular meal. That means half should be non-starchy vegetables, one-quarter should be lean protein, and one-quarter a starchy carb. Here are 10 terrific options for healthy diabetes snacks. Continue reading >>
What Can I Eat
So, you've just been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Obviously, your first question is, "Holy Crap, is this gonna kill me?" The answer is, well, maybe ....or maybe not ….probably not …but then again …a part of the answer depends on what you eat. If you eat the wrong things it can get worse ….or maybe not. Unfortunately, and something you're gonna find very frustrating, is the answer to most questions about T2 diabetes is, “maybe – maybe not - depends on the individual, etc”… like trying to get a straight answer from a polititian ...that’s type 2 diabetes for you. If you're careful, and only eat the right things, you'll probably starve to death anyway, so don't worry about it. My mother had T2 diabetes real bad. She died - and she was only 89. I have T2 diabetes, and I get really hungry for foods I'm not supposed to eat. I've found that booze takes the edge off a little. Try supplementing your diet with 5 or 6 martinis before meals ...works for me. Never smoke pot …the munchies are suicide. Trying to figure out what you can eat is a bitch. One way is to pretend you're a rabbit, and go with your instincts. If you're not sure what a rabbit eats, follow one around for a few days, and when they start to eat something, take it away from them and eat it. Oh! …except carrots. You can't eat carrots ….well, maybe you can - maybe not. Try a few bites to see if you swell up and die. But, just to be on the safe side, it's best to stay with bushes and grass …maybe some twigs. Actually, there are a few other things you can eat. A quick web search will turn up tons of T2 diabetic-friendly recipes for delicious meals requiring only a total of 4 or 5 hours preparation time by somebody who doesn't have anything else to do but cook all day (if you like things like Continue reading >>

Sugar Free Desserts | Diabetic Connect
Started2013-01-24 14:01:04 -0600 10 Likes Can someone PLEASE tell me if there is such a thing as sugar free cake mixes? I miss having cake and hate store bought ready made! I can't find anything on any sugar free website AND I would love to be able to make sugar free cookies that will be crunchy not as soft as bread (ugh). Someone please put me out of my misery! This is a link to the Pillsbury sugar free cake mix. It is very light and tasty, just eat it in moderation :) I have been using this one for the past 5 years or so. They also have chocolate cake and sugar free fudge brownies, BUT they are NOT a low calorie food :) also? just curious, don't you have to watch carbs? I have found that just cuz it's sugar free doesnt mean the carbs are low. try recipes from scratch using almond flour, very low carb, and quite tasty to boot ! If you don't mind online shopping www.nuts.com has almond flour and so does Amazon.com. Give one of those a try. In addition, if you think all those "little carbs" don't matter, you can underestimate your insulin needs significantly, if the protocol for that time of day is 1 unit for every 4 carbs. At least that's the way it's been for me. I have a target number of carbs that I should eat every day. It's between 150-180. That helps me decide what to eat for each meal. If I know I'm going to eat a lot at one meal, then I try to eat foods with much lower carbs at the other meals. We also try to adjust most the recipes to be as "friendly" as possible! Even when we control for the fat and carbs though, my numbers can be crazy. It's challenging to create recipes that are lower carb AND be able to calculate correctly all the nutritional facts (beside carbs and fiber) per serving. Mom finds it to be a "guessing game". The only way we can do it is to " Continue reading >>
Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies {grain-free}
Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies {Grain-Free} UPDATE 8/2017 These cookies continue to be the most popular recipe on my blog as well as at my house! Many questions on substitutions have been answered in the comments, but if you dont see an answer youre looking for leave a comment and Ill respond. These cookies will satisfy any chocolate chip cookie craving you have! We love keeping them in the freezer and eating them cold straight out of the freezer. Great to have around when youre craving something sweet! I have attempted several almond flour chocolate chip cookies and finally found a winner! These cookies are slightly crispy on the outside and moist and soft on the inside. My friends and family loved these! With this recipe you can easily switch up the chocolate chips and nuts to your preferences. Chocolate chip cookies really are one of lifes simple pleasures. Few things are more comforting than a warm, freshly-baked cookie with a glass of cold milk (almond milk in my case). As with many other cookie recipes, I usually make a batch of dough, then bake half and freeze the other half. To freeze the dough, form it into mounds and place them on a cookie sheet. Put the cookie sheet in the freezer. Once the dough is frozen you can transfer the mounds to a plastic bag. When you want a cookie, just bake the frozen dough by adding 2-4 minutes onto the cook time. These are perfect to have on hand for those nights when you just need a little something sweet! Yes! These cookies work great with coconut sugar! Several people in the comments have also had success with sugar substitutes and honey. I havent tried these so I cant say for sure. There are 2 kinds of almond flour blanched almond flour and almond meal. These cookies are flexible in that you can use either one. This isn Continue reading >>
No Bake Cookies V Recipe - Allrecipes.com
My entire family loves these cookies. My family begs for them! I would suggest using 4 TBsp of cocoa, butter rather than margarine, smooth PB and 3 1/2 cups of oats. Small changes but they ma... I've been having issues with these not turning out too! I have a different version of "rolling boil" every time I do it. According to the blog All in Good Food he decreases the sugar to 1 and 3/... The perfect no-bake flavor. I used creamy peanut butter instead of chunky, and if you do that I suggest adding a bit more oats, as they'll be kind of thin. These turned out absolutely perfect! Don't be afraid to use whole oats if you don't have quick oats....doesn't make a difference. I made it EXACTLY as stated. I have made no bakes in the past... This recipe is messed up. I went digging in my closet to find my orginal no-bake cookie recipe. When I compared the two recipes, I found that they had the same ingredients; however, the ratios a... These were a hit and easy to make! I used splenda, skim milk, light peanut butter, and light margarine, and they still tasted great. These are just like I remember as a kid. Sometimes I just throw them into a 9x13 pan instead of drop by teaspoon. Very tasty. I give this five stars because they came out exactly as they were meant to. Following the advice of other posters I doubled the cocoa (used good quality cocoa), used creamy PB, and even reduced... I love this recipe because it has more cocoa than other ones. It has 1/4 c instead of 2 tablespoons. This made a huge difference in the turn out. They turned out more rich and not so dried out a... Continue reading >>

First 5 Things To Do If You’re Prediabetic
This post may contain affiliate links, which help support this blog but don’t add to your cost. The other night, we went to Applebee’s for dinner and met Sam, the manager originally from Thailand, who revealed that his doctor recently told him to change his diet because he’s prediabetic. This was after we shared about this blog and handed him a card. The conversation had originally been about asking him to send the word up the command chain that customers are asking for low carb or sugar free desserts. Then we explained that we’re trying to ask as often as possible so that upper management might finally realize there’s a demand for that type of offering and do something to make that happen. He said he would pass that along to his superiors, but then he asked me several questions about what it means to be prediabetic, and how he needed to change his diet. He shared that he eats a lot of food traditional to his culture, because his wife is also originally from Thailand. They always have rice with their meals, so he eats rice several times a day. I told him that’s a big no-no, unfortunately, because rice is very high in carbs. His face fell. So I amended that statement: “Well, at least cut down on how much rice you eat at every meal. Take half the rice you would normally take, and start there.” He looked reflective a moment and then nodded. I also strongly recommended that he go to Walmart and buy himself a cheap blood glucose test kit. Walmart’s brands are far less expensive than others and are just as accurate. We tested that against Steve’s endocrinologist’s device back in Missouri. I’d been using one for years and we decided to get him the same kind so that we can share supplies and save money. At first, she scoffed at the brand of tester we sho Continue reading >>
