12 Breakfast Rules For Diabetes
First, eat it iStock/EasyBuy4u Even if your blood sugar is high in the morning, don't skip breakfast. Research shows that forgoing a morning meal increases the risk for obesity and insulin resistance. And studies confirm that breakfast eaters are better able to resist fatty and high-calorie foods later in the day. Aim to eat your breakfast at the same time every day, since keeping your blood sugar levels even throughout the day means eating consistently from day to day. Try to incorporate these healthy carbs for diabetes into your breakfast. iStock/ShotShare You can't (and shouldn't) avoid restaurants altogether, but there's one meal you should almost always eat at home: breakfast. Look at the alternatives: Diner-style breakfasts can include 1,000 calories or more with astronomical amounts of carbohydrates and fats. A healthy-sounding whole-wheat bagel with light cream cheese from a bagel shop may contain up to 67 grams of carbs, 450 calories, and 9 grams of fat. A sausage muffin may pack 29 grams of carbs, 370 calories, and 22 grams of fat. Compare those to a bowl of oatmeal (half a cup) with a half cup of fat-free milk, which contains a mere 12 grams of carbs, 195 calories, and 3 grams of fat. iStock/MarkGillow We assume you're already starting out with a cereal that contains at least 5 grams of fiber per serving. (Studies have found that people who regularly eat whole-grain cereal gain less weight than people who don't.) Make it even more diabetes-friendly by adding half a cup (one serving) of fresh fruit, such as strawberries or blueberries. Here's why fruit is healthy for diabetes (not forbidden!). Sprinkle 1 or 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed on hot and cold cereal and yogurt iStock/Sasha Radosavljevic Rich in protein and fiber, these tiny seeds are a godsend to Continue reading >>
Spotlight On... Diabetic Diets
A healthy, balanced diet is key to keeping your blood sugar levels in check and your diabetes under control... What is diabetes? Diabetes is a lifelong condition caused by a failure of the blood sugar regulation mechanism in the body. This is controlled by a hormone called insulin. Diabetes results when the pancreas does not secrete enough insulin or cells of the body become resistant to insulin so blood sugar levels are not controlled as they should be. Without the proper function of insulin, sugar cannot enter muscle or fat cells, causing serious secondary complications such as heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, neuropathy and other complications. Type 1 diabetes Insulin dependent, less common and usually develops before the age of 30. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the pancreas stops producing insulin. The exact cause is unknown but some believe that it is an autoimmune response in which the body attacks its own pancreatic cells. People with Type 1 diabetes must take insulin for life. Type 2 diabetes Non-insulin dependent, used to be most common in later life but is becoming increasingly more prevalent in younger generation largely due to an increase in obesity. In Type 2 diabetes, the pancreas still produces insulin, but either it is not producing enough or the body does not respond to it properly. The most common cause of type 2 diabetes is obesity. In many cases, Type 2 diabetes can be avoided through eating a healthy, balanced diet and taking regular exercise and often can be controlled in the same way if diagnosed. However, some cases will require medication and your doctor should be the one to determine whether this is necessary. Recent research has reported interesting evidence to support the reversal of type 2 diabetes. Research funded by Diabetes UK and per Continue reading >>
Oatmeal And Diabetes: The Do’s And Don’ts
Diabetes is a metabolic condition that affects how the body either produces or uses insulin. This makes it difficult to maintain blood sugar, which is crucial for the health of those with diabetes. When managing blood sugar, it’s important to control the amount of carbohydrates eaten in one sitting, since carbs directly affect blood sugar. The American Diabetes Association’s general recommendation for carb intake is to consume 45-60 grams per main meal, and 15-30 grams for snacks. It’s also important to choose nutrient-dense types of carbohydrates over refined and processed carbs with added sugar. This means that what you eat matters a great deal. Eating foods that are high in fiber and nutrients but low in unhealthy fat and sugar can help maintain a healthy blood sugar level, as well as improve your overall health. Oatmeal offers a host of health benefits, and can be a great go-to food for those with diabetes, as long as the portion is controlled. One cup of cooked oatmeal contains approximately 30 grams of carbs, which can fit into a healthy meal plan for people with diabetes. Oatmeal has long been a common breakfast food. Oatmeal is made of oat groats, which are oat kernels with the husks removed. It’s typically made of steel cut (or chopped), rolled, or “instant” oat goats. Oatmeal is cooked with liquid mixed in and is served warm, often with add-ins like nuts, sweeteners, or fruit. It can be made ahead and reheated in the morning for a quick and easy breakfast. Because oatmeal has a low glycemic index, it can help maintain glucose levels. This can be beneficial for people with diabetes, who especially need to manage their blood sugar levels. Oatmeal in its pure form may reduce the amount of insulin a patient needs. Oatmeal can also promote heart health, Continue reading >>
Overnight Oats 3 Ways
It isn't news that oatmeal is one of the healthiest ways you can start your day. But if you're anything like me, it's not your favorite way. Ever since I was a little girl, the texture of oatmeal has been pretty darn gag-worthy. While I am learning to like it, this take on oatmeal might make it a bit more palatable for those who don't love it. And if you loved it already? Well maybe this is even better! Oatmeal is considered a power food for a number of reasons. It boosts energy, supports weight loss and heart health, AND drum roll please... helps lower risk of type 2 diabetes! And for those of us who are managing type 1 or type 2 diabetes, oatmeal has been proven to help stabilize blood sugars. As a big Pinterest fan, I've pinned dozens of "overnight refrigerator oats" recipes. But what I have created with these three oatmeal variations are breakfast dishes that are a little higher in protein and lower in sugars. All three recipes have the same base: almond milk, oats, chia seeds, Siggi's yogurt, and honey. But they have slightly different nutritional benefits. I was pretty excited to discover Siggi's Icelandic Skyr a few months back, as yogurt is a regular part of my breakfast routine. Before discovering Siggi's I was typically eating Greek yogurt in the morning with something mixed in such as fruit or paleo granola. Like Greek yogurt, Icelandic Sykr is much higher in protein and lower in carbohydrates than traditional yogurt or Greek yogurt. In fact, 1 serving of Siggi's has 14 grams of protein with only 100 calories and 11 grams of carbohydrates. It's a bit thicker and much more tart than Greek yogurt, but tastes great with fruit mixed in. Yogurt of any kind is absolutely worth incorporating into your diet; the live active cultures in yogurt (good bacteria, if you w Continue reading >>
Foodytv.com - Diabetic-friendly Breakfast Congee
This nutritious and filling, high-fiber breakfast porridge is kind on the glycemic load and because it cooks overnight and is ready in the morning it easy also on a busy morning schedule, as well! Congee is a soupy, porridge-like dish made with rice and savory flavorings that is commonly eaten in Asia for breakfast or late supper. There are many creative possibilities for this dish and its leftovers. This recipe replaces the typical white rice with other whole grains, fruits, vegetable juices, and nuts, and is cooked overnight in a fruity broth. And if youre rushed for time, just ladle it into coffee mugs and slurp it down on the go. Thaw frozen strawberries and peel and coarsely chop kiwis. Place them in a blender along with the carrot juice, tomato juice, pumpkin puree and cinnamon. Blend until mixture is smooth. Pour mixture into a heavy-bottomed large sauce or stock pot and add the remaining ingredients. Place pot on stove and heat to a boil. Once mixture has come to a boil, reduce heat to lowest setting to bring mixture to a slow simmer. (Alternatively, after the mixture is brought to a boil on the stove top it can be transferred to a crock-pot or slow cooker set on low). Cover pot and simmer (or slow cook) overnight or for about 8 hours. In the morning, your congee should look like a loose, soupy, porridge. Portion into bowls or coffee cups and enjoy. Refrigerate any leftovers. Serve with your choice of topping such as fresh sliced kiwi and/or fresh sliced strawberries (if in season), a splash of almond milk, a dollop of Greek-style yogurt or a sprinkling of toasted hulled pumpkin seeds (pepitas). This pairs well with a hard-boiled egg or a slice of whole grain toast spread with nut butter. Continue reading >>
Diabetes Diet: Six Foods That May Help Maintain Healthy Blood Sugar Levels
While there's no substitute for a balanced healthy diet, adding certain foods may help those with diabetes keep sugar levels under control. Coffee and cinnamon have made headlines as foods that might be able to help cut the risk of diabetes or help maintain healthy blood sugar levels. However, don't get the idea that such foods are magic pills for your diabetic diet. It's still important for people with diabetes to eat a balanced healthy diet and exercise to help manage the condition. Nevertheless, some foods, such as white bread, are converted almost immediately to blood sugar, causing a quick spike. Other foods, such as brown rice, are digested more slowly, causing a lower and gentler change in blood sugar. If you are trying to follow a healthy diet for diabetes, here are 6 suggestions that may help to keep your blood sugar in check. Porridge Porridge can help control blood sugar and the charity Diabetes UK recommends it to see you through the morning. Even though porridge is a carbohydrate, it's a very good carbohydrate. Because it's high in soluble fibre, it's slower to digest and it won't raise your blood sugar as much or as quickly. It's going to work better at maintaining a healthy blood sugar level over time. Not only does this high-quality carbohydrate offer a steadier source of energy than white bread, it can also help with weight loss. The soluble fibre in oats helps to keep us feeling fuller longer. That's important for people with type 2 diabetes, who tend to be overweight. If you reduce the weight, you usually significantly improve the glucose control. Barley isn't as popular as oats, but there's some evidence that barley, which is also high in soluble fibre, may also help with blood glucose control. Besides oats and barley, most whole grains are going to Continue reading >>
7 Easy Breakfast Ideas For Type 2 Diabetes
Cooking with less fat by using nonstick pans and cooking sprays and avoiding fat- and sugar-laden coffee drinks will help ensure that you're eating a healthy breakfast. For many people, breakfast is the most neglected meal of the day. But if you have type 2 diabetes, breakfast is a must, and it can have real benefits. “The body really needs the nutrients that breakfast provides to literally ‘break the fast’ that results during sleeping hours,” says Kelly Kennedy, MS, RD, an Everyday Health dietitian. “Having a source of healthy carbohydrates along with protein and fiber is the perfect way to start the morning.” Eating foods at breakfast that have a low glycemic index may help prevent a spike in blood sugar all morning long — and even after lunch. Eating peanut butter or almond butter at breakfast, for example, will keep you feeling full, thanks to the combination of protein and fat, according to the American Diabetes Association. And a good breakfast helps kick-start your morning metabolism and keeps your energy up throughout the day. Pressed for time? You don't have to create an elaborate spread. Here are seven diabetes-friendly breakfast ideas to help you stay healthy and get on with your day. 1. Breakfast Shake For a meal in a minute, blend one cup of fat-free milk or plain nonfat yogurt with one-half cup of fruit, such as strawberries, bananas, or blueberries. Add one teaspoon of wheat germ, a teaspoon of nuts, and ice and blend for a tasty, filling, and healthy breakfast. Time saver: Measure everything out the night before. 2. Muffin Parfait Halve a whole grain or other high-fiber muffin (aim for one with 30 grams of carbohydrates and at least 3 grams of fiber), cover with berries, and top with a dollop of low- or nonfat yogurt for a fast and easy bre Continue reading >>
Traditional Porridge
Diabetes Ireland > Living with Diabetes > Living with Type 2 Diabetes > Food and Diabetes > Recipes > Breakfast > Traditional Porridge Porridge is one of the best ways to start the day. It has a low Glycaemic Index and will keep you full for a lot longer than the same amount of carbohydrate provided by bread. Oats are also a great source of soluble fibre which can help to protect the heart. Carbohydrate: This recipe uses honey but you could you swap this for artificial sweetener. The important thing to remember is a drizzle of honey will not greatly affect your glucose reading whereas the total amount of carbohydrate will. Remember you are looking at the total carbohydrate on the label as opposed to just the sugar content. cup (or of a mug) of dry porridge oats Put everything in a saucepan (non-stick if you have it) and gradually bring to the boil. Do stand beside it and watch it as it can easily boil over. Once it has come to the boil turn it down and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes depending on how tender you like your oats Stir it occasionally. If it gets too thick (and how thick you like it is up to you) just add an extra drop of milk or water, but remember adding extra milk will add to the total carbohydrate content of the breakfast. If you want to microwave the porridge, just follow the instructions on the pack Continue reading >>
From Pre-diabetes To No Diabetes In Sight. This Guy Rocked It! + Overnight Steel Cut Oats
I’ve received many an email from people telling me what a bastard I am to mention weight loss as a benefit of eating a Whole Food Plant Based diet. I’m always happy to get these emails because I like hearing different viewpoints. From what I’ve gathered, there are a couple of directions that people generally take on the losing weight train. There are the people who stand up for Big is Beautiful and any mention of weight loss stems from a collective societal dictation based on unrealistic and contrived views on beauty and acceptance. (Say that three times fast) Then we have people who for whatever reason are pro weight loss. Maybe for people trying to sell stuff it’s an easy market to tap; maybe some people are hung up on supermodels, and maybe some people just feel better after they lose a few pounds. It’s different for everyone, and everyone’s view should be accepted, regardless of your take. But here’s the thing. There’s not a fine line, there’s a line the size of the Grand fucking Canyon between losing weight when one is already healthy, and losing weight to save one’s life or to add a great deal of quality to that life. The conversation about losing weight for actual health reasons transcends any conversation about whether or not the topic of weight loss puts a damper on people’s confidence and self acceptance in society. For some people, there’s no angle or agenda, losing weight for them means going from pre-diabetes to no diabetes, having high blood pressure to normal blood pressure and having high cholesterol to perfect cholesterol. So for me, mentioning weight loss as a benefit of eating a plant based diet isn’t just important; it’s really fucking important. There are people who have turned their entire world around by dropping extra Continue reading >>
14 Foods That Could Change A Diabetic's Life
Print Font: When you think of managing blood sugar, odds are you obsess over everything you can't have. While it's certainly important to limit no-no ingredients (like white, refined breads and pastas and fried, fatty, processed foods), it's just as crucial to pay attention to what you should eat. We suggest you start here. Numerous nutrition and diabetes experts singled out these power foods because 1) they're packed with the 4 healthy nutrients (fiber, omega-3s, calcium, and vitamin D) that make up Prevention's Diabetes DTOUR Diet, and 2) they're exceptionally versatile, so you can use them in recipes, as add-ons to meals, or stand-alone snacks. 1. Beans Beans have more to boast about than being high in fiber (plant compounds that help you feel full, steady blood sugar, and even lower cholesterol; a half cup of black beans delivers more than 7 grams). They're a not-too-shabby source of calcium, a mineral that research shows can help burn body fat. In ½ cup of white beans, you'll get almost 100 mg of calcium—about 10% of your daily intake. Beans also make an excellent protein source; unlike other proteins Americans commonly eat (such as red meat), beans are low in saturated fat—the kind that gunks up arteries and can lead to heart disease. How to eat them: Add them to salads, soups, chili, and more. There are so many different kinds of beans, you could conceivably have them every day for a week and not eat the same kind twice. 2. Dairy You're not going to find a better source of calcium and vitamin D—a potent diabetes-quelling combination—than in dairy foods like milk, cottage cheese, and yogurt. One study found that women who consumed more than 1,200 mg of calcium and more than 800 IU of vitamin D a day were 33% less likely to develop diabetes than those taki Continue reading >>
Best Foods For Type 2 Diabetes
Prevent dangerous blood sugar spikes with the help of these foods. Oatmeal Studies have shown that eating a diet rich in whole grains and high-fiber foods may reduce the risk of diabetes by between 35 and 42 percent. An excellent source of both is heart-healthy oatmeal: It’s packed with soluble fiber, which slows the absorption of glucose from food in the stomach — keeping blood-sugar levels under control. Top oatmeal with 1 to 2 tablespoons of chopped pecans, almonds, or walnuts to add protein and healthy fat, which stabilize blood sugars further. Plus, the nuts add great crunch and flavor to your morning meal. Continue reading >>

Stabilize Blood Glucose With Oats
Look on the Labels Eating oats and other fiber-rich foods for breakfast appears to help keep blood glucose under control throughout the day. When shopping for oat products, look for heart-health claims on the label. The U. S. Food and Drug Administration allows oat products containing 3 or more grams of soluble fiber per serving to make one of these two health claims: "Soluble fiber from oatmeal, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease." "Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include 3 grams of soluble fiber from whole oats per day may reduce the risk of heart disease."

Try them in hot breakfast cereals or stuffings. They take 30 to 40 minutes to cook. Steel-cut oats: When roasted whole oats are cut into bits, they're called steel-cut oats.
