So when we talk about nutrition and diabetes, it’s all about taking a balanced diet that works for you.
Most importantly, always remember that eating well and adding exercise to your daily routine are important ways you can easily manage diabetes. And our team at TOTALL Diabetes Hormone Institute is there to help you at every step.
Let’s get started.
“What should I eat?” is the most asked question by people when they are diagnosed with diabetes. It can be a difficult task, right? Don’t worry, there are so many simple things you can do to include that flavor to your daily diet — adding healthy twists on your favorite foods. The easiest way is to start by consulting with a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN/RD) to make a diet plan that works for you.
A panel of scientists, endocrinologists, doctors, educators and dietitians studied over 600 research articles to check what diets and eating patterns work well for diabetics. The main finding was that everyone’s body responds differently to different types of foods and diets. There is no SPECIFIC diet for diabetes.
Let us introduce you all to the Diabetes Plate Method. The Diabetes Plate Method is one of the easiest ways to plan a healthy diet with just a plate.
- Fill half your plate with non starchy vegetables.
- Then one quarter of your plate with lean protein foods.
- Fill the final quarter of your plate with carbohydrate foods.
Using this Diabetes Plate method, you can make a perfectly portioned diet with an excellent balance of vegetables, protein and carbohydrates that too without any counting, measuring, calculating or weighing.
The carbohydrates you eat play an important role in managing your diabetes. They impact the blood sugar levels, so always remember that balance is key!
There are majorly three types of carbohydrates in the food we take – starches, sugar and fiber. So when you see on the nutrition labels, the term “total carbohydrate” refers to all three of these types.
When you choose foods with carbohydrates, always choose carbs that are rich in nutrients, which means they are rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals, and low in sugars, sodium and unhealthy fats.
