Caloric table for products recommended for people with diabetis

The basis for the diabetic diet is in limiting the level of monosaccharides and fats. Quality control and the amount of food eaten play an important role in this diet; meals should be spread throughout the whole day. This places carbohydrates under tight scrutiny. The diet should contain meals rich in nutrients, such as vitamins, mineral salts and supplements that regulate metabolic dysfunctions. A person suffering from diabetes should choose a proper diet together with a dietician to suit their essential caloric needs.

The basis for diabetic diet
The main source of carbohydrates in this diet should be milk and dairy products, as well as wholemeal rye bread, coarse barleys, oatmeal, brown rice and pasta. The following vegetables are rich in carbohydrates: potatoes, corn, legumes (beans, peas and soya beans). Also among other caloric carbohydrates, we can include beetroots, carrots, celery and Brussels’ sprouts. This kind of diet can include cucumbers, tomatoes, cauliflowers, peppers, radish, lettuce, asparagus and Chinese cabbage.
You can add fruit, but only that which is low in calories e.g. watermelon, or grapefruit. High caloric ones such as plums, grapes, or bananas should be avoided. You can also have oranges, strawberries, tangerines and apples.
The next element of the diabetic diet is proteins. Lean meats are a good source (veal, beef), chicken and turkey meat (skinless), sea fish, milk (skimmed) and related dairy products, as well as legumes. This diet should contain fats of the vegetable origin: oils, olive oil, and soft margarine. You should stay away from foods rich in cholesterol, i.e. poultry, butter, cream and fat dairy products, especially from rich cheeses, milk, and fat meats.
To drink, choose mineral water, tomato juice, coffee, and tea without sugar.
Forbidden products in diabetic diet
Sweetened beverages should be excluded. Alcohol consumption, particularly in larger quantities, is risky because it intensifies the action of insulin, so after drinking we risk to get hypoglycemia. You should not consume products that contain a lot of simple sugars: honey, chocolate, sweets and cakes. Please limit the use of salt, which can be replaced with herbs, lemon, etc.
Diabetics cannot have too much food at any one time, nor can they go without food for an extended period of time. The amount of food in the meals should be exactly the same every day, and meals should be eaten at the same times.
