Hi Alma,

Not every tortilla is the same. When monitoring your carbohydrate intake to control blood sugar levels, it is important to read the nutritional information on the label. You should be able to eat them, but how much you eat will depend on the type and size of the tortillas.

Hi Lorenzo,

I understand where you're coming from. Even though Splenda is only one molecule away from a "recipe" for pesticide doctors do recommend it to diabetics.

You need to take out sugar free..... People get educated with sugar free it is poisonus to diabetic and regular people. They work with the pharmacutical co to rip on the profits in selling us drugs for diabetes..... No splenda or any artificial sweetner.......................

Hi Ethel,

Use a calorie calculator like the one available at The Diet Planner Search Engine found at Walford.com. You can purchase a digital food scale at Wal-Mart. The one I have weighs in oz. and grams. It's a process, but you have to teach yourself to be aware how many calories are in different foods.

Hi Mohammed,

When our bodies stop producing insulin or using it properly, this is known as diabetes. Insulin is an important hormone that helps our bodies to convert sugars, starches and any other foods we eat into energy. People who are overweight or people who don't exercise are at risk of developing diabetes but genetics also play a factor. Your health care provider can determine if you are pre-diabetic or have diabetes by conducting a Fasting Plasma Glucose Test or an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test.

Hi Ed,

According to the American Diabetes Association, sweet potatoes are actually used in controlling weight and for conditions like diabetes. They provide an easy way to take in heart healthy and cancer-fighting benefits even for diabetics.

Potatoes on the other hand and most refined starches have high Glycimic Index. Other high GI foods include:

Breakfast cereals
Breads
Crackers
Corn chips
White rice
White pasta

Hi again Lynette,

Remember, it's best to check with a health care provider when dieting. As for the print, if you go to "view" on your toolbar at the top of the page and move down to "text size" you can increase the size of the font to make it easier to read.

-- Contributed by: Donna Sundblad

this is actually a list that she might find helpful also. I hope the print is not too small. But remind her to watch the salt/sodium content as well b/c of his blood pressure and CHF

I and a church friend are doing a food drive for people who have diabetes that are in short hand of money. This website helped me very much by finding fods that were sugar free and good tasting! Thank you so very much. God Bless

Research suggests that artichokes are indeed good for diabetics to eat because they may help control blood sugar as well as lowering cholesterol. They are also a good source of fiber as well as potassium and magnesium.

If you have doubts about a particular food in your diabetic diet, ask your doctor.
