Many diabetics struggle everyday tokeep their blood sugar in control. They ponder about what they should eat and what they should not eat so that their blood sugar levels do not spike. Many believe that if you eat less or skip a meal it will help with controlling their diabetes. This is the biggest misconception and if you are a diabetic you should never skip a meal especially your breakfast.
Breakfast being the most important meal of the day, it should be nutritious, healthy and contain protein, fat, vitamins and minerals along with the right complex carbs to give you the right start. So here we have a list of healthy and satisfying Diabetic Friendly Breakfast Recipes which will help keep you fit.
What should you eat if you are a diabetic? A diabetic should try and eat food which have a low glycemic index (GI). Glycemic Index is a measure that ranks carbohydrates and food that contain carbs according to their effect on blood Glucose levels. Carbohydrates with low-GI are more slowly digested, absorbed and metabolized by our body which in turn helps the blood sugar level rises slower. It also lowers the risk of heart diseases and type 2 diabetes.
Some Indian food which have a low glycemic Index are bajra, broken wheat, ragi, jowar, barley, oats, wheat, buckwheat, soybean, brown rice,lentils, chickpeas, kidney beans, fruits and vegetables high in fiber like carrots, broccoli, zucchini ,mushrooms, cauliflower, green peas, tomatoes, and green leafy vegetables like methi, drumstick leaves. So include these in your food to maintain your diabetes. Replace unhealthy or starchy ingredients in a recipe and include high fiber non starchy ingredients instead.
Some other simple ways in which you can maintain a diabetic friendly diet is bybroil, bake or stir-fry your food. Avoid fried food, processed food and sugars.Consume most of the daily fats moderately from raw nuts, olive oil, fish oils, canola oil, flax seeds, whole milk and avocados instead of other trans-fat foods.
