I love that you focused on healthy, low-carb options for diabetics. I had no idea that foods like zucchini and mushrooms could be so versatile. Thanks for the practical suggestions-this is definitely going to help me manage my diabetes better
Thank you for your lovely comment! We’re so glad you found the suggestions helpful. Zucchini and mushrooms are indeed super versatile and tasty options-wishing you the best in your diabetes management journey!
Avocados are a great source of healthy fats and fiber, but if they are hard to find in Bangladesh, there are other foods you can incorporate into your diet to help meet your nutritional needs. Some alternatives to avocados that are high in healthy fats include nuts and seeds (such as almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, and flaxseeds), olive oil, and fatty fish (such as salmon and sardines). Additionally, incorporating a variety of fruits and vegetables into your diet can provide important vitamins and minerals, as well as fiber to help regulate blood sugar levels. Some examples of fruits and vegetables that are widely available in Bangladesh include bananas, papayas, mangoes, eggplant, okra, and spinach.
@Diabetics Talk what a great idea . I use eggplants zucchini,papayas, have yet to incorporate okra. I don't use eggs. Instead, I bake on a a double boiler instead of an oven. I use corn starch slurry with filtered water as a binder. Work's well every time . I don't fry anything. Thanks for a wonderful post.
Thank you for sharing your concern. It's true that some dark chocolate products may contain trace amounts of lead, as it can be found in the soil where the cocoa beans are grown. However, the levels of lead in chocolate products are typically very low and not considered harmful to human health. The FDA has set limits on the amount of lead that can be present in food products, including chocolate. Additionally, many chocolate manufacturers have implemented testing and quality control measures to ensure their products are safe and comply with regulatory standards. If you are concerned about the potential presence of lead in chocolate products, you may consider opting for chocolate products that are labeled as organic or fair trade, as these products often undergo more rigorous testing for contaminants. As always, it's a good idea to consume chocolate in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
@Diabetics Talk I also have congestive heart failure and sleep apnea And I was wonder why I would eat dark chocolate. At 6 o'clock at night and not be able to sleep It also has caffeine in it which I can't sleep with But I take three different types of medicine I take met foreman ozempic and farxiga And I tested my blood suga couple of times for 6 days It's between 80 - 120 I thank God for the medicine I test the blood sugar With the librrefreestyle 2 and thru test straps And my blood sugar has been so good sometimes I think the machine is broke Once again I thank god for this
I stopped just a little way into the video. I hate people giving harmful info to diabetics. If you're a diabetic you shouldn't be concerned with keeping a stable blood sugar by eating complex carbs. You should be reducing total carb intake to the bare minimum. Besides meat, seafood and fats(butter, eggs, cheese, nuts and seeds) here's what you should be eating. Greens of all varieties, summer squash, mushrooms, okra, asparagus, eggplants, cucumbers, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, and small amounts of peppers, tomatoes, onions as they are moderate carb foods. Fruit, perhaps half a small avocado from time to time. I allow myself a small square of dark chocolate every day or so. Most chocolate has carbs, even plain cocoa has carbs. No fruit, grains, potatoes, corn, rice, beans. This should allow your doctor to reduce the amount of insulin you require and for some to be able to eliminate the need for added insulin completely. It's a healthy diet that can be followed for life. I'm on year 30 now and have blood work done twice a year to check for any issues as I get older.
@@Jda1dog98 I pretty much covered that in my reply. I eat beef, pork, poultry, seafoods, fats(butter, cheese, eggs, nuts, seeds, olives, meat fats), fresh low carb vegetables. My day typically starts with eggs and pork ( bacon, sausage, ham). I do make some really good pancakes that are mostly whipped egg whites with the yolks and a few other ingredients mixed in. There's some good recipes for egg type rolls. A local store now carries keto bread that is zero carbs but as a diabetic you should test for reactions to things like that. For lunch I eat tuna or sardines or ham or chicken, perhaps a mixed green salad or some pickled vegetables. Dinner is a meat or seafood and two servings of low carb vegetables. Total carbs for the day around 12. You can buy miracle noodles or rice that is zero carb. It's a bit chewy and not much taste but likely safe for you to eat. There are around two dozen low carb vegetables and I alternate as much as possible. You need to get a chart of carbs and serving size for most vegetables. I try to keep the serving carbs to below five each. A normal dinner might be a serving of fresh salmon, asparagus, sauteed yellow squash. If you're taking insulin work with your doctor before reducing your carbs to make sure the insulin is adjusted safely. In all honesty you have to decide the type of diet you'll eat. Most doctors are suggesting a diet that contains whole grains and some fruit. Then they figure how much insulin they need to prescribe and say that's done. The other train of thought is to reduce carbs as much as possible so you are able to reduce the amount of insulin you require or in some cases eliminate it fully. Then again that's a job for your doctor to determine. Whichever you try remember to check the carbs on every single thing you eat until you learn what's safe and what isn't.
7116000 - This was an excellent commentary on eating with diabetes. I know these things but for you to have put them into a complete description is wonderful. Both of your comments are so well done. I’m keeping a screenshot of them for quick reference. Thank you so much.
@@Carol-kj5eh I'll give you a piece of advice. The issue most people have is lack of variety. To have that variety I keep different frozen cuts of beef, pork, poultry, seafood plus canned meats and seafoods. Next I have plenty of butter, several varieties of cheese, nuts, seeds, pickled vegetables on the shelf. I go to the store once or twice a week for fresh vegetables and keep some that are frozen and canned. It's easy to come up with dinner when I can have so many choices along with plenty of different side dishes and I also cook many of the same foods in different manners. Thirty years now and I haven't gotten bored with my diet yet. I had shish kabobs the other night for dinner. I ran out of mushrooms so I substituted zucchini along with meat, strips of bell peppers, onions and small chunks of tomatoes. In truth I ate mostly the meat and zucchini and only small amounts of the other vegetables. They even fit on my small indoor smokeless grill so I didn't have to go outside to cook dinner. Having a small grill is an excellent way to give a different taste to pork chops, steaks, fish, and even strips of large summer squash or eggplant.

When are people going to make videos with important information without noisy jangly music drowning out the vital advice?
All we have to do is to eat in moderation- portion size not bigger than the size of the palm of our hands.
My favourite is extra Virgin oil for flavor and health benefits.
This is not heart healthy though, except in very small quantities.
Dark chocolate and avocado
What you're saying is so important. That background music is so distracting, makes it so difficult to hear you. Please turn off the background music.

I avoid dark chocolate. I'm sad because I used to eat it a lot but I found out it contains lead.

I'm a new diabetic and struggling... You've eliminated so much in your diet, what do you eat?
