Nutritionist Cooks Diabetes Friendly Recipes

Cooking meals when you have diabetes can be challenging, but it’s not impossible! Cooking and eating balanced meals is highly recommended to manage your blood sugar. Nutritionist Jo Sebastian give us a rundown of the types of diabetes, what you can be doing differently once you’re diagnosed, and shares two simple recipes for your next meal prep session at home.
Munggo
Ingredients
3 tbsp oil
2 pc tilapia
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pc red onions, sliced
2 pc tomatoes, sliced
1 cup munggo beans
1 cup malunggay leaves
Procedure:
In a pan with hot oil, cook the fish for 2-3 minutes on each side. Set aside and shred.
Using the same pan, saute garlic and onions followed by the tomatoes.
Add your munggo beans and fill with 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 40 minutes or until the beans are mashable. Add your malunggay and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Makes 6 servings
Egg Wrap
Ingredients:
3 pc eggs
1 pc cucumbers, cut in half and sliced
3 pcs tomatoes, sliced
kesong puti
Greek-style yogurt
Procedure:
Beat all eggs in a bowl. On a non-stick skillet, add oil and eggs.
Once the egg is set, loosen the sides and flip. Cook for an additional 30 seconds and set aside.
Assemble by placing the veggies and cheese at the bottom of the egg. Drizzle with yogurt and roll into a wrap.

She discussed my one-week health class discussion in college in under 20 minutes. 😅 very helpful! ❤

[@featrmedia]

Thanks for subscribing!

[@pauldjdundas]

[@BethanyGrimes-ol5gs]

She explains it perfectly best on KZbin she goes step by step slow she doesn't try to over talk too fast she's just right on I love this lady

[@celestegarin8596]

Finally diabetes education applied to Filipino food! Please make more health-related foods related to Filipino food specifically for diabetics. It is so hard for Pinoys because the food relies heavily on rice.

[@jarmago7750]

And I think 95% of Filipino population has little to no education about diabetes even with these techs to educate ourselves. We Filipinos prefer to use internet and electronic devices for entertainment. Sobrang common ng type 2 diabetes dito sa Pilipinas and it's just sad.

[@erikadaswani6875]

This video is so informative and helpful. I was diagnosed with diabetes 6 weeks ago and I'm still struggling to understand what I can and cannot eat. Thank you for this!!

[@featrmedia]

Stay tuned for more Nutrition Eats episodes this month!

[@thetrunorth6197]

Erik, I was diagnosed as a T2 last year. My A1C at that time was 14%. Which as you know is quite high. What I have started to do the last 2 months is: I skip breakfast. My biggest meal is at lunch approximately 12pm. I do have very little carbs at lunch about 5-10 grams (like spaghetti squash). After lunch I take 1 metformin which is a 500mg pill. I used to take 4 metformin/day. Then I usually eat supper by 6pm. My supper is completely carb free. Then I repeat same process again the next day. So, I'm fasting 18 hours a day&eating twice a day at 12pm&by 6pm. My last A1C test was 4.2%. My waking sugar level has been 4.7 to 5.9. Hope this helps you. Try it out and you'll see. Stay away from carbs that's what caused us to get diabetes in the first place. Edit: Metformin was actually a 500mg not 250mg.

[@killclipx8340]

Correction eating meat and oil gives you diabetes. There so many better choices like vegetables and fruits. But shes right about lifestyle change though.

[@rsoubiea]

Be careful of processed foods, white flour or starches like bread, potatoes, cereal, noodles. Protein is better.

[@killclipx8340]

@@thetrunorth6197 Eat Whole Food plant based diet period. Be careful for process plant based food also a process food. Oil is overrated also.

I was diagnosed with diabetes 30+ yrs ago and I am a Type 2 diabetic that is insulin dependent and have been injecting insulin for 33yrs. Diabetes education is so much better these days. Ive learned more in the last few yrs then I have in the whole 33yrs I've been a diabetic. Im happy to have found your channel.

[@bamski8412]

Forgot to say…I’ve been watching FEATR for it’s innovative content but ONLY SUBSCRIBED because of Jo Sebastian’s program! Very relevant! KUDOS!!! 🙏

[@robadams5799]

I like the fact that she explained the different types of diabetes to start. I was Type 2 for a while and then I "graduated" to Type 1. Yay me! I did a little digging and found that Ms. Sebatian has a BS in Community Nutrition from the University of the Philippines Diliman, so she's not just an enthusiastic ameteur.

[@kalilove8153]

Would love to see more videos like these! Very informative and entertaining!

[@jeweltablazon6711]

How bout meals for cancer patients ☺️ also I love how she discussed everything, well done!👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Thank you so much. I was diagnosed with type 2 and this helped me a lot!

[@case.rapone]

I’ve been really trying to educate myself (thank you KZbin university) on type 2 diabetes to help my boyfriend feel and eat better, get to live to be happier and a couple years longer would be a great bonus too!! he’s been better at taking his insulin more regularly (mostly because I do it for him but I don’t mind) so that’s good so far but what I’m making a goal for him, with his permission and doctors approval of course, off insulin within a years time. Ive been reading and watching that this can be done in a safe and steady way. That’s obviously the most important aspect of this whole journey. Safety. I’m rambling, but to bring it back to the video…this is hands down the most thorough but simple video I watched, compliments to you on making this digestible and easy to understand. I just wanna say I think you should do more videos like this they could really help people!!! I will definitely be showing him this video along with a few others to watch together, thank you so much!!!

[@catherinejoymusic]

More of this video please!!!

[@ayrasanmiguel9363]

Though I don't have Diabetes, this video is so informative and timely! Thanks so much still! 😊☝️❤️

You helped me understand my type 2 better than my doctor did! Thank you!! 😃

[@DarlinSharlynn]

Thank you so much for this! My father in law has been a type 2 diabetic for years but has not been making the best healthy choices. Rice is such a huge part of his meals but I’ll definitely let him know the tip you shared about not eating it freshly cooked.

[@jarmago7750]

Hypoglecemia (Low blood sugar) under 30mg/ddl, this is dangerously low, is scary, your consciousness turns on and off, it feels like youre teleporting, and if you faint and not go into coma,it's traumatizing for the first time, hypo almost always occur after a tiring activity such as exercise or when you don't eat like during dawn while youre asleep, good thing whenever this happens my body wakes me up for some reason, all you need to do is eat or drink something sweet. I have type 1 dIabetes since 10 yrs old ,now I'm 28, I use an insulin pump since 14
