I received this request from a reader of my articles, and I felt compelled to make my future articles include some healthy tips for diabetics and healthy cooking in general. I know there are many cookbooks available and there are over 15 million diabetics in the US, I hope that some of those readers will share some of your recipes and experiences with us.

 

 

Type 2 Diabetes and Diet

by nibbledish

Maintaining your diet when you’ve been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes can be a real challenge, but it can also mean the difference between life and death. Those afflicted with type 2 diabetes either don’t produce enough insulin, or the white blood cells in the body ignore the insulin, affecting the body’s glucose levels. Stabilizing glucose is key to remaining healthy, and the more you can do this naturally through diet, the better.

 Regular monitoring of the blood glucose is required to maintain healthy insulin productions, and part of this process includes paying close attention to the food you eat, and how it affects your glucose. While this sounds like a lot of work, many of the health and diet recommendations for people with type 2 diabetes are literally no different than those advised by health professionals for a normal, healthy lifestyle. An ideal diet for most individuals, diabetic or otherwise, typically consists of fiber rich plant based foods, lean proteins, and slow-digesting carbohydrates.

Hi, My name is Suzanne and I’m one of texasgourmet.com readers.

 

I’d like to thank you for the excellent information I’ve found on texasgourmet.com, it’s one of my favorite readings on the web.

 

I have 25 years and live in Illinois where I have the passion to share with family and friends tips to help them eat healthy to lower diabetes risk.

 

I figured you might be interested in including a guest article for texasgourmet.com about the most common questions related to diabetes and a sample recipe.

 

Article in form of a little guide to help your readers experiencing with this topic and perhaps discuss the topic at hand.

 

Please, take a minute to consider this; it would be a pleasure and honor to contribute!

 

With your help we can educate the public about the dangers of diabetes and hopefully save some life.

 

Either way, thanks for reading and keep posting your excellent information on texasgourmet.com.

 

Hope you a good week.

 

Warmest Regards

Yours Truly Suzanne

 

 

 

Hi Suzanne-

Thanks for following my articles. I truly enjoy sharing my passion with readers who want to be able to prepare some great dishes they can share with family. I am extremely excited about hearing from you with some knowledge about recipes and healthy dishes  with lower risk for diabetics. I know that there are many people with diabetes that would love to try to be able to think outside the box but still not compromise their condition. Please send me a few recipes you love, and I will include some in my articles. In fact, I am doing a cooking show in Fort Worth in July, and I am going to be sure and make at least one or more of my entrees directed towards diabetics or those people that particularly need to be observant of sugar and salt intake. I look forward to hearing from you.

Kindest regards,

Bryan Slaven
