Food Diabetics Should Avoid
As a diabetic, I know you are constantly asking yourself what you can eat and what you cannot eat. You also wanna know what works best for you to bring your sugar down .. and not have high readings. You are not alone sisters..! i am in the same shoes always. One can of course opt to take the best weight loss pills to help with controlling the weight but it really boils down to eating correctly too.

Like everyone knows, having diabetes need not means that your life if over.. everything in moderation is good. But these are the food i try to avoid.. because they are said to be bad. Pizza is one of them, luckily .. i donch like them as much as some ppl. So there i have no problems. Fast food is the second one – tempting as it might be .. even for myself, i love the french fries.. but these days.. i avoid eating them .. even when Missy Moo has her once a week treat – but having said all that.. it doesn’t mean that you cannot have fries or too.. or better yet.. if you absolutely much have some.. bake them yourself in the oven.

Cakes and cookies are a no – no they said.. lucky me.. i donch crave for stuff like that.. but i do eat like half a cookie sometimes.. or a small piece of cheesecake .. once every 2 weeks – because i absolutely love cheese cake and the richer the better.
Frozen food like your chicken pot pie.. are also not really that good.. if you absolutely must have them.. because it is convenient.. and you are busy.. you can try those that are made in store .. like the ones we have at Sobeys.

Sugary drinks like pop, flavored drinks and even smoothies is a another high sugar content thingie. I never knew how much they actually are in sugar content.. till i started looking at all the labels.. and you would be shocked too..!! at 45gms of sugar per cup of pepsi.. now that would kill me in no time.. i cut that out too. I drink only water.. or pure cranberry juice .. with tons of water. So there you have it .. a tip from your fellow diabetic ..
