[@karlwelin7932]

Popcorn sprinkled with mild taco seasoning ! ! ! I'm glad to know popcorn is diabetic friendly

[@DiabeticsTalk]

Thank you for your comment! Yes, popcorn can be a great snack option for people with diabetes when consumed in moderation and prepared without added sugars or unhealthy fats. Sprinkling mild taco seasoning on top is a tasty way to add some flavor without adding extra calories or carbohydrates. As with any food, it's important to monitor portion sizes and consider the impact on blood sugar levels.

Please could you do a video for diabetics who also have to be on the Low FODMaP diet? I am so fed-up with my very limited food choices. Some of them now make me feel nauseous.

@@sarahstrong7174 I am lucky that I can eat cooked vegetables, but agree it can be tough needing to watch blood sugar and have IBS. I have a lot of food Intolerances too. I eat Greek Yogurt, I add cottage cheese to other foods. I can eat hard boiled eggs, but all others make me sick.

Did you call MSG toxic?

[@DiabeticsTalk]

Thanks for your comment! No, we didn’t call MSG toxic. While some people prefer to avoid it, MSG is generally recognized as safe for most people in moderation. We just aim to suggest snacks that are healthy and suitable for a variety of dietary needs. Hope you found the video helpful!

[@SharonJTerry]

25.1 grams carbs 4.8 sugar in one serving of the chick peas. That's more than a full day of carbs.

[@DiabeticsTalk]

It's important to consider the serving size and how chickpeas fit into your overall daily carbohydrate intake, especially if you're managing diabetes or watching your carb consumption. Chickpeas are indeed a good source of plant-based protein and fiber, which can have positive effects on blood sugar levels. While a serving of chickpeas may contain carbohydrates, it's important to remember that not all carbohydrates are created equal. The fiber content in chickpeas can slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, leading to a slower and more gradual rise in blood sugar levels. The American Diabetes Association recommends that people with diabetes focus on the total carbohydrate content of a meal, rather than just the sugar content. Monitoring your carbohydrate intake, portion sizes, and balancing your meals with other nutrient-rich foods can help you manage your blood sugar levels effectively. If you're concerned about the carbohydrate content of chickpeas, you can consider the following strategies: Be mindful of portion sizes: Pay attention to the recommended serving size on the packaging and adjust your portion accordingly. Combine with other foods: Pair chickpeas with other foods that are lower in carbohydrates and higher in protein and fiber. For example, you can mix chickpeas with non-starchy vegetables in a salad. Monitor blood sugar levels: Keep track of how chickpeas and other foods affect your blood sugar levels. Testing your blood sugar before and after meals can help you understand how your body responds to different foods. Consult a healthcare professional: If you have specific dietary concerns or are following a diabetes management plan, it's always a good idea to consult with a registered dietitian or healthcare provider. Remember that individual responses to foods can vary, and what works for one person may not work for another. Finding the right balance of carbohydrates, protein, and fiber in your diet is key to managing blood sugar levels effectively.

Thank you. Yes, I use the meter a few times a day. I know ingredients in products I used have changed and had to take them from my pantry. Disappointing. Snacks for me are more like a piece of cheese and a couple turkey pepperoni rounds. I can't even eat low carb tortillas or keto 1 net carb bread. I'm pretty sure I need whole food and not many processed. The dietician is probably a good idea. @@DiabeticsTalk

No Bananas? What about Gluten free bread from the store or homemade gluten free breads made with different nut flowers? Are dairy free cheeses good? I'm diary and gluten sensitive

[@janehyden1652]

BANANAS ARE BAD FOR DIABETICS--CHIA SEEDS ARE REALLY GREAT.

[@DiabeticsTalk]

Bananas can be good for diabetics, but there are specific bananas that should be avoided at all costs. As a banana ripens, resistant starches turn into sugar. So if you love bananas, buy them green, and eat them as early as your taste buds permit.

[@janehyden1652]

BANANAS ARE NOT GOOD FOR DIABETICS. USE BERRIES INSTEAD.

[@ekummel]

Having been recently diagnosed with diabetes, I have found that the diet is borderline horrendous! These so called, "good for diabetic" foods are terrible tasting! And at best, as flavorful as cardboard...and it even feels like eating cardboard with all the fiber needed to counteract any possible carbs you may be consuming! Then couple that with raised kidney levels and now foods like nut, meat and salty snacks, are also no longer good to eat! Not only do I have to keep my carbs non-existent, but now my daily intake of sodium needs to be less than 2,500mg and I'm limited to 10oz of animal protein per day! So a ham and cheese sandwich is no longer a viable meal option! It's like food want's me dead...

[@DiabeticsTalk]

Hi @ekummel! There are many healthy but delicious options for people with diabetes to choose from. Please check out our videos on foods that you can still enjoy: kzbin.info/aero/PLxHYQlCtnzq6UhJU5-Srkh8ZxAfQvypD3

Take the " yolk " out of the whites

[@DiabeticsTalk]

If you're referring to removing the egg yolk from the egg white, it's important to note that the yolk contains many of the egg's nutrients, including healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. While egg whites are a good source of protein, removing the yolk means you're missing out on many of the egg's health benefits. However, for some people with specific dietary restrictions or concerns, such as those with high cholesterol levels, it may be advisable to limit or avoid egg yolks. As with any dietary advice, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional to determine what's best for your individual needs.
