Diabetic Diet

I had to go to a dietitian to help me figure out what I should eat, bust mostly just be mid full about how many carbs you are eating. Sorry I cant be very helpful.

• 15-30 grams of carbs per snack
• 30-45 grams of carbs per meal (although 45 is typically too many for most)
• Never eat carbohydrates alone- always pair with protein
• Eat every 3-4 hours
• Complex carbs only

Eat lots of: Veggies, lean meats, fish, nuts, seeds.
Eat in moderation (as in once or twice a week): Fruit (berries are the best because they are low GI), cookies, cake, muffins, crackers, fast food, bread, pasta, and other highly processed foods.
Avoid: Soda, juice, and candy (unless hypoglycemic).

Lower carb intake to help stabilize blood glucose.

Meats: chicken, fish, beef, pork etc. Try to refrain from using sauces on them that are high carb. I generally bake my chicken and fish in evoo with a few seasonings and pan fry the beef and pork. Chicken stuffed with spinach, feta and cream cheese is really good.

Vegetables: green veggies such as spinach broccoli, kale, green beans, Asparagus. Cauliflower, mushrooms, tomatoes, peppers. There are a lot more that are low on carbs.

Fruit in small amounts..berries are best. Bread and pasta should be whole wheat not white (check sugar content even in wheat bread). Ezeikieal and rye breads are usually even better. Brown rice or quinoa. Watch servings on all of these.

Milk has a lot of sugar, so keep that in mind. I usually go for unsweetened almond milk and use half and half in coffee.

**don't eat carbs alone. Always pair with protein.

I avoid all fruit juice, soda, candy, etc.

My diary is open. Just as a note if you do look.. I'm on a ketogenic diet, to stabilize my blood glucose, so my carbs are really low. I have reactive hypoglycemia and don't recommend going this low without consulting a doctor.

Best of luck.
