Crikey there's always conflicting do's and don'ts I find when it comes to health issues. Diabetes is no different. I was told Kumara was an excellent choice over potatoes. Hard to fathom stuff out.

[@HealthyCare-fi6mv]

Wow, I never realized that even healthy-sounding vegetables like butternut squash and green peas could pose risks for diabetics. The explanations are clear, and the alternative suggestions make it easy to implement better choices. This is such valuable content for anyone managing diabetes!

[@ForeverHealthUS]

I'm glad you found the video helpful! Many people don't realize that even vegetables we often consider "healthy," like butternut squash and peas, can have a higher glycemic index, which can cause blood sugar spikes. However, it's all about choosing the right varieties and portions, and incorporating alternatives like green beans, leafy greens, or cauliflower, which have lower glycemic impacts. In fact, some starchy vegetables like butternut squash contain more carbs that can affect blood sugar levels, while other vegetables like spinach, kale, and cucumbers are lower in carbs and can be great options for those managing diabetes. It’s important to educate yourself on these foods and try to make healthier choices to help manage blood sugar levels. If you're ever uncertain about a specific food, discussing your options with a dietitian or healthcare provider can also help you make the best decisions for your body. 😊

[@Alec_Smart]

@@HealthyCare-fi6mv the falla y in this kind of thinking is in eating onlh one thing. Surely you dont eat peas alone. You pair it with high fibres and it will not harm you. Indian food is an example. We put jeera in peas, garam masala, eat with roti. All this helps us in managing diabetes

A lot of other experts praised sweet potatoes. Now it's on the bad list. Who do we believe? Are sweet potatoes good for diabetics? Yes, sweet potatoes can be good for people with diabetes: Low glycemic index Sweet potatoes have a low glycemic index (GI), meaning they are less likely to cause blood sugar spikes. Says the google answer.

[@ForeverHealthUS]

It can be confusing with differing opinions, but you're right to question it. Let’s break it down: Sweet potatoes can be a good option for diabetics when eaten in moderation, and they’re generally considered to have a lower glycemic index (GI) compared to regular potatoes. The GI of sweet potatoes varies depending on how they’re prepared-boiling them typically results in a lower GI, while baking can make them slightly higher. The key is portion control. Eating small servings and pairing sweet potatoes with protein, healthy fats, or fiber-rich foods can help keep blood sugar levels steady. They’re packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber, making them a nutritious choice, but like with all foods, balance and moderation are important. 😊 So, while some experts may caution against them in large quantities, in reasonable portions, they can be a good addition to a diabetic diet!

[@ForeverHealthUS]

I'm glad you found the video informative! It's great to hear that you’re considering making positive changes to your diet. Indeed, some vegetables, especially starchy ones like potatoes and corn, can have a higher glycemic index, meaning they can impact blood sugar levels more than others. However, alternatives like green beans, avocados, and leafy greens can help maintain more stable blood sugar levels. For anyone looking to refine their diet further, focusing on low glycemic foods, healthy fats, and lean proteins is a good way to start. Keep experimenting with what works best for you and consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns. Keep up the great work in managing your health! 😊

Sweet potatoes are indeed higher on the glycemic index, making them a bit riskier for blood sugar control.

But you must eat real, basic food…and in moderation. Protein WITH the carbs, and please…at midday, not in the evening. I cannot eat a commercially baked pie…so much sugar it burns my tongue! Above all, do not dwell on what you can’t have. Find a healthy workaround!!!

[@ForeverHealthUS]

Thank you for sharing your wisdom! You’re absolutely right-there's no need to give up the foods you love, but it’s all about making mindful choices and adjusting how we enjoy them. Moderation and balance are key. Pairing proteins with carbs can help stabilize blood sugar levels, and eating larger meals earlier in the day, when the body is more active, can help avoid spikes. As for desserts like pie or other treats, there are always healthy workarounds-perhaps trying recipes with lower sugar or swapping ingredients for better alternatives like almond flour or natural sweeteners. It’s all about being creative in the kitchen and finding what works for you! The message you share about not dwelling on what you can’t have but focusing on the healthy options you can enjoy is such a powerful and positive approach. Cooking at home with whole, fresh ingredients gives you the control to make meals that are both delicious and nourishing. Keep up the amazing work, and continue inspiring others with your mindset! 😊

I eat and love butternut squash, but I have not noticed any spike in my blood sugar. So I am not sure what this is all about.

[@ForeverHealthUS]

Butternut squash is often well-tolerated by many people, including those with diabetes, due to its relatively low glycemic index and high fiber content. The fiber helps slow down the absorption of sugars, which can prevent spikes in blood sugar levels. It's also rich in vitamins and antioxidants, making it a healthy choice. Individual responses to foods can vary, so if you find that butternut squash doesn't affect your blood sugar, it can be a great addition to your diet. Just remember to enjoy it in moderation and balance it with other foods to maintain overall blood sugar control. If you have any concerns, it's always a good idea to monitor your blood sugar levels and consult with a healthcare professional.

[@ForeverHealthUS]

Managing diabetes can feel restrictive, but there are still plenty of nutritious and satisfying foods you can enjoy. Instead of white rice, you might try brown rice, quinoa, wild rice, or cauliflower rice, which are better for blood sugar control. Focus on whole foods like leafy greens, non-starchy vegetables, lean proteins, nuts, and healthy fats like avocado. For carbs, opt for whole grains, legumes, and berries, which have a lower glycemic impact. The key is balance and portion control. Pair carbohydrates with proteins or fats to slow sugar absorption. Remember, moderation is essential-it's not about avoiding everything, but choosing foods that support your health while still enjoying meals. 😊

Starchy vegetables, such as potatoes, corn, and peas, can be problematic for diabetics because they have a higher glycemic index and can cause blood sugar spikes. These vegetables are digested quickly, leading to a more rapid rise in glucose levels, so they should be eaten in moderation and with portion control.

[@ForeverHealthUS]

Starchy vegetables like potatoes, corn, and peas can indeed be problematic for diabetics due to their higher glycemic index.

[@ForeverHealthUS]

Canola oil is a popular choice because it has a neutral taste and a good balance of monounsaturated fats, which are heart-healthy. It's also relatively low in saturated fats compared to many other oils. However, it's best used at medium-high temperatures rather than very high heat to avoid breaking down. Some people prefer olive oil or avocado oil for even healthier fat profiles, especially in salads or low-heat cooking.

Do you have references to any peer-reviewed studies that demonstrate these claims?

[@ForeverHealthUS]

That's a great question! Peer-reviewed studies are the backbone of reliable health information. The claims about specific foods and their impact on diabetes (like the benefits of low-GI fruits, high-fiber vegetables, and certain practices like eating foods with a low glycemic index or using apple cider vinegar) are supported by research. Here are a few examples: Low Glycemic Index Foods: Studies like the one published in Diabetes Care show that low-GI foods help maintain stable blood sugar levels. Apple Cider Vinegar: Research in journals like Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice has shown that vinegar can improve insulin sensitivity after meals. High-Fiber Diets: Articles in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition highlight the role of dietary fiber in blood sugar control. Would you like more specific references on a particular topic? I’d be happy to look them up! 😊

[@luzmartin3808]

How about using Coconut oil?

[@ForeverHealthUS]

Coconut oil can be a healthy cooking option for diabetics, as it contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) that may improve insulin sensitivity and reduce inflammation. However, it's high in saturated fat, so use it in moderation, especially if you have heart disease. Stick to 1-2 tablespoons per day, and balance it with other healthy fats like olive oil. Always check with your doctor or dietitian to see if it's right for your diet. 😊

[@davidlevitan6015]

Wow very surprised by leaks. What about Lima beans?

[@ForeverHealthUS]

Lima beans can be a good choice for diabetics, but moderation is key! They’re high in fiber and protein, which help slow digestion and stabilize blood sugar. However, they also contain carbohydrates, so portion control is important to avoid spikes. A half-cup of cooked lima beans provides around 20g of carbs and 7g of fiber, making them a nutrient-dense option when included as part of a balanced meal. Pair them with non-starchy vegetables and healthy fats for the best results. Always consult your doctor or dietitian for personalized advice! 😊

That’s a great summary! Generally, gourd vegetables (like squash, zucchini, and bitter melon) and leafy greens tend to be safe and beneficial for diabetics, thanks to their low carb content and rich fiber and nutrient profiles. Root vegetables, being higher in starch, can spike blood sugar, so portion control is important. Juices, even from fruits and vegetables, can raise blood sugar quickly, as they often lack the fiber needed to slow absorption. Thanks for the insight!

They are low in calories, high in fiber, and packed with vitamins like vitamin C, vitamin K, and folate. Their low glycemic index means they won’t cause a rapid spike in blood sugar levels. Additionally, the fiber content helps with digestion and maintaining stable blood sugar. French beans can be easily incorporated into meals as a side dish or in salads, stir-fries, or soups. Just be mindful of portion sizes and avoid heavy sauces to keep them as healthy as possible! 😊

[@ForeverHealthUS]

It’s definitely challenging when foods touted as “healthy” seem to have downsides or conflicting opinions. When it comes to diabetes-friendly options, balance and moderation are key. Here's a quick breakdown of a few options beyond spinach, broccoli, green beans, and avocado: Leafy Greens like kale, arugula, and Swiss chard are nutrient-rich and low-carb. Berries (in moderation) have antioxidants and fiber, making them less likely to spike blood sugar. Nuts and Seeds like almonds, walnuts, chia, and flaxseeds offer healthy fats and protein. Fish like salmon, sardines, and trout provide omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health. Non-Starchy Vegetables like bell peppers, cucumbers, and zucchini are versatile and low in carbs. Eating a variety of foods in small portions helps provide a range of nutrients while keeping things balanced. It’s normal to see some conflicting advice since individual bodies and health needs vary, so it’s best to go with foods that work well for your body and consult a healthcare provider if you’re unsure.

What about purple sweet potatoes???

[@ForeverHealthUS]

Purple sweet potatoes can be a good option for diabetics when consumed in moderation. They have a lower glycemic index than regular sweet potatoes, meaning they cause a slower rise in blood sugar. Additionally, their vibrant color comes from anthocyanins, which are antioxidants that may help reduce inflammation and improve insulin sensitivity. However, portion control is essential to avoid blood sugar spikes. Pairing them with protein or healthy fats can further help stabilize blood sugar levels. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice!

[@elsiekang198]

How about canola oil? Bran oil? Peanut oil?

[@ForeverHealthUS]

Canola, bran, and peanut oils each have distinct benefits and considerations, particularly for heart health and blood sugar management. Canola Oil: Known for its low saturated fat content, canola oil is often recommended for heart health. It has a moderate smoke point, making it versatile for cooking, and contains omega-3 fatty acids, which may help reduce inflammation. However, if you prefer organic or minimally processed options, some recommend looking for cold-pressed canola oil. Rice Bran Oil: High in antioxidants like vitamin E and oryzanol, rice bran oil is good for high-heat cooking (e.g., frying) due to its high smoke point. It may help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, making it heart-friendly. Be cautious of using too much, though, as it’s calorie-dense. Peanut Oil: Peanut oil has a rich flavor and high smoke point, which makes it ideal for stir-frying and deep-frying. It’s high in monounsaturated fats, beneficial for heart health. For those with diabetes, using peanut oil in moderation can support a balanced diet, but avoid using it in excess due to its calorie content. Each oil has its pros and cons, so rotating oils based on your cooking needs can offer a good balance of nutrients and health benefits.

Your approach focuses on a very clean and wholesome diet, which can be beneficial for managing blood sugar levels and overall health. Here’s a concise overview of the foods you mentioned: Organic & Wild Salmon/Fish: Great sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for heart health and can help reduce inflammation. Cauliflower & Courgettes (Zucchini): Low in carbohydrates and high in fiber, these vegetables can help regulate blood sugar levels and provide essential nutrients. Black Beans: Rich in protein and fiber, they can promote satiety and help maintain stable blood sugar levels. No Fat, Sugar, or Salt: Avoiding these can help manage weight and reduce the risk of chronic diseases, but it's important to ensure you're getting enough healthy fats from sources like fish. No Oils or Dairy: While this can reduce calorie intake and saturated fats, consider incorporating healthy fats from nuts or seeds if they fit your dietary goals. No Bread: This can help avoid refined carbs, which can spike blood sugar. Consider alternatives like whole grains or low-carb options if needed. This diet emphasizes whole, nutrient-dense foods, which can be very effective for health management. If you have any specific goals or questions about this diet, feel free to ask!

These are low in carbohydrates and have minimal impact on blood sugar levels. When it comes to oils, healthier options include extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, and coconut oil. These oils provide healthy fats and help maintain stable blood sugar levels. Avoid vegetable oils like canola or soybean oil, which are highly processed and may promote inflammation.

Can I know about soy beans Doc👐

[@ForeverHealthUS]

Absolutely! Soybeans are a great food choice, especially for those with diabetes, due to their low glycemic index and high nutritional value. Here’s a quick breakdown: Nutrient-rich: Soybeans are packed with protein, healthy fats, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals like iron, magnesium, and folate. They also contain antioxidants. Blood sugar control: Due to their high fiber and protein content, soybeans help in stabilizing blood sugar levels, making them a good option for those managing diabetes. Heart health: The healthy fats in soybeans, particularly polyunsaturated fats, may help lower bad cholesterol and improve heart health. Versatility: Soybeans can be enjoyed in various forms, such as edamame, tofu, tempeh, or even soy milk, making them a great meat alternative. However, like with any food, it's important to eat them in moderation as part of a balanced diet! 😊

Thanks for the Information ❤

My pleasure 😊

[@letoiledusud6725]

You can eat these but in moderation . Or, you can associate with other veggies that are recommended for diabetics. They help regulate the glycemic index of any food high in carbohydrates. Still with moderation.

[@ForeverHealthUS]

Absolutely! For diabetics, portion control and food combinations are key to managing blood sugar effectively. Eating carbohydrate-rich foods in moderation and pairing them with low-glycemic veggies or foods high in fiber, protein, or healthy fats can help slow down digestion and prevent rapid sugar spikes. For example, adding leafy greens, non-starchy vegetables, or a source of healthy fat like avocado or olive oil can stabilize the glycemic impact of a meal. This way, you can still enjoy a variety of foods without compromising blood sugar levels, as the additional veggies or fats help regulate the overall glycemic index. Moderation and smart pairings make a big difference! 😊😊😊

[@gavinadelosreyes2282]

no, we can eat all of those veggies, kaya lang limit the quantity intake

[@ForeverHealthUS]

Yes, you can enjoy many vegetables as a diabetic, but it's important to be mindful of portion sizes to avoid spiking blood sugar. Limiting the intake of starchy veggies like potatoes, peas, and sweet potatoes can help. Non-starchy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, and kale are generally safe in larger quantities. The key is balance and knowing your body's response to different foods through portion control.

Then what to eat. Or else eat only air.

[@ForeverHealthUS]

It can definitely feel like that sometimes! Instead of cutting everything, focus on balance: lean proteins, healthy fats, whole grains in small amounts, and plenty of non-starchy veggies can make a big difference. Finding what works for your body is key, so enjoy the variety within those choices-you don’t have to stick to just air! 😊

[@ajitandyokothakur7191]

How about Canola oil, better or worse for Type II diabetic patients? We have been using Canola oil for the last 25+ years. We occasionally use Mustard oil to cook chicken and fish. Are they bad too? Dr. Ajit Thakur (USA).

[@ForeverHealthUS]

Canola oil is generally considered a healthier option for type 2 diabetics due to its low saturated fat content and higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which can support heart health. However, there is ongoing debate about processed oils, and some studies suggest potential inflammation risks with excessive use. Mustard oil, on the other hand, contains beneficial omega-3s and antioxidants but should be consumed in moderation, as high amounts may cause issues. Balance and variety are key, so it’s best to consult your doctor for personalized advice.

[@srabanichatterjee3075]

[@munagalaprabhakar7082]

Veges and oils you recommended are expensive except onions and spinach What about potatoes

[@ForeverHealthUS]

Potatoes can definitely be a budget-friendly option. While they’re higher in carbs, they’re still nutritious, offering vitamin C, potassium, and fiber (especially with the skin on). For better blood sugar management, try pairing potatoes with protein and a little fat, like a boiled egg or a drizzle of olive oil. Additionally, consider mixing in other affordable veggies like cabbage, carrots, or pumpkin to keep meals balanced without breaking the bank.

[@yvonneguthrie48]

Listening to this leaves me thinking what is there for diabetics to eat?🤔 Just eat in moderation people

[@ForeverHealthUS]

It can certainly feel restrictive! But there are actually a lot of delicious options for diabetics-lean proteins, non-starchy vegetables, whole grains in small amounts, nuts, and low-sugar fruits like berries. And you're absolutely right: moderation is key! Finding satisfying, balanced meals within these guidelines can make a big difference without feeling deprived. 😊

[@YolandsIsaac]

Please can you please tell me what can we eat because the same thing you say don't eat the other video saying you could est so what can I eat now

[@ForeverHealthUS]

I understand the confusion! It can be overwhelming when advice seems to conflict. The key is to focus on whole, unprocessed foods that are generally agreed upon as being beneficial for managing blood sugar levels. Here are some options that are commonly recommended for people with diabetes: Non-starchy vegetables: Broccoli, spinach, cucumbers, and leafy greens. Lean proteins: Chicken, fish, turkey, tofu, and eggs. Healthy fats: Avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil. Low-carb fruits: Berries, apples (in moderation), and pears. Whole grains: Quinoa, brown rice (in moderation). The most important thing is to choose foods that don't spike your blood sugar. If you feel unsure, always consult with your doctor or dietitian for personalized advice!

[@wendy-diannwendy-diann8060]

Yeah very confusing!!!!! I think every health professional has a different idea lol Cheers.

[@FrancisPrice-wj3yo]

So what else to eat I bet even the air we breathe is no go for diabetics. 😊😢

[@ForeverHealthUS]

It can feel overwhelming, but there are still plenty of delicious options for diabetics! Focus on foods like grilled chicken, fish, eggs, leafy greens, zucchini, bell peppers, nuts, and berries. Swap white rice for quinoa or cauliflower rice, and enjoy healthy fats like avocado or olive oil. You can even have small portions of treats occasionally if paired with fiber or protein to balance blood sugar. Diabetes doesn’t mean deprivation-it’s about finding balance and enjoying the journey to better health. Hang in there-you’ve got this! 😊💪

[@r.s.kulkarni.1851]

I am from India, living in Thane Maharashtra near Mumbai in great Indian state Maharashtra. Which are vegetables diabetic person can eat?

[@ForeverHealthUS]

For diabetics, choosing vegetables with a low glycemic index (GI) and rich in fiber is crucial to maintaining stable blood sugar levels. Here’s a list of vegetables suitable for diabetics: Non-starchy Vegetables (Best Choices): Leafy Greens: Spinach, fenugreek (methi), kale, and lettuce. Cruciferous Vegetables: Cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, and brussels sprouts. Gourds: Bottle gourd (lauki), ridge gourd (tori), and bitter gourd (karela). Okra (Ladyfinger): High in fiber and helps manage blood sugar. Tomatoes: Low GI and rich in antioxidants. Cucumber: Hydrating and low in carbs. Bell Peppers (Capsicum): Adds flavor with minimal sugar. Moderate Choices (Consume in Small Quantities): Carrots: Can be eaten raw or cooked in moderation. Beets: Use sparingly due to natural sugar content. Onions: Avoid excess quantities as they contain some carbs. Vegetables to Limit: Potatoes: High in starch, can spike blood sugar. Sweet Potatoes: Better than regular potatoes but should be eaten in moderation. Corn: Starchy, so limit portion sizes. In your region, seasonal and fresh produce is abundant, so focus on local vegetables and prepare them with minimal oil and salt. Include them in soups, salads, or steamed dishes for maximum benefit.

[@nessmecija8670]

How about guava doc

[@ForeverHealthUS]

Guava is a nutritious fruit that can be beneficial for people with diabetes. It has a low glycemic index (GI), meaning it causes slower blood sugar spikes compared to high-GI foods. Guava is rich in dietary fiber, which helps regulate blood sugar levels. Additionally, it's packed with vitamins A and C, potassium, and antioxidants. However, portion control is key, as consuming too much of any fruit can affect blood sugar. Always consult with a healthcare provider to ensure it fits your personal dietary needs.

[@BarbaraBryan-wi5hx]

What about coconut oil

[@ForeverHealthUS]

Coconut oil is generally considered a good option for diabetics due to its high content of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are believed to boost metabolism and improve insulin sensitivity. It may help reduce belly fat, which is linked to insulin resistance. However, it’s high in saturated fat, so moderation is key. Consulting with a healthcare professional before making any significant changes to your diet is always recommended, especially if you have underlying health conditions.

[@MaribellaArabello]

Wow what to eat? How about carrots?

[@ForeverHealthUS]

Carrots can be a good option for diabetics, but portion control is key due to their carbohydrate content. They have a low glycemic index (GI) of 16 when raw, meaning they don't cause a rapid spike in blood sugar levels. However, cooking them can slightly increase their GI. Carrots are rich in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, making them a nutritious choice. Eating them in moderation and pairing them with protein or healthy fats can help stabilize blood sugar. Always consult with a healthcare provider to ensure they fit your specific diet plan.

[@antanamosiea6875]

Really it means we (diabetics)have nothing to eat. They will die through hunger.

[@ForeverHealthUS]

It can feel challenging to navigate what to eat as a diabetic, but there's still plenty to enjoy! The key is focusing on nutrient-dense, low-carb vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Foods like leafy greens, avocados, nuts, and whole grains in moderation can help manage blood sugar levels. You don’t have to feel restricted-experiment with different meals and find combinations that satisfy you while supporting your health goals. With careful choices and portion control, you can still enjoy a wide variety of foods!

[@guikkimtan5964]

Celery? Are u sure?😢

[@ForeverHealthUS]

Celery is generally considered a healthy vegetable, but for some people, it can cause issues. If you have specific dietary restrictions or health concerns, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional. If you're referring to its high water content or certain compounds, moderation might be key.

The best vegetable is Moringa leafs for Diabetics.

[@ForeverHealthUS]

Moringa leaves are indeed beneficial for diabetics. They’re rich in nutrients like vitamins A, C, calcium, potassium, and iron, and contain plant compounds with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which can support blood sugar management. Some key benefits of Moringa for diabetes include: Blood Sugar Control: Moringa leaves contain compounds that may help reduce blood sugar levels by improving insulin sensitivity. Studies have shown that Moringa may lower post-meal blood glucose spikes. Rich in Nutrients: Moringa provides essential vitamins and minerals, which can be especially helpful for those with diabetes, who often benefit from nutrient-dense foods for overall health and energy levels. Anti-Inflammatory Properties: The antioxidants in Moringa, like quercetin and chlorogenic acid, help combat inflammation, which is often elevated in diabetes and can contribute to complications. Support Heart Health: Moringa's potential to reduce cholesterol and lower blood pressure is beneficial for diabetics, who are at a higher risk of cardiovascular issues. Moringa can be added to soups, smoothies, or salads or enjoyed as a tea. However, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare provider to ensure Moringa works well within your personal health plan, especially if you’re on diabetes medication.

You're welcome! Being mindful of blood sugar levels and liver health can certainly feel challenging, especially around the holidays. Butternut squash is nutritious and lower on the glycemic index than some other starchy foods, so you can still enjoy it in moderation-perhaps with a smaller portion or balanced with other low-carb veggies. And thanks for the feedback on the video format; a clear, focused presentation makes information so much easier to absorb. Wishing you a healthy and enjoyable Thanksgiving! 🤗

It's understandable to feel overwhelmed by dietary changes, but don't worry! You don't have to give up all the foods you enjoy. The key is balance and moderation. Foods like spinach, broccoli, and cabbage are great choices for maintaining a healthy diet. Even sweet potatoes and celery can still be part of your meals if you control portions and pair them with lower-carb options. Focus on enjoying a variety of foods while making small adjustments for better blood sugar control. It’s all about finding what works best for your health! 🙏

Maybe buy organic celery

[@ForeverHealthUS]

Buying organic celery can be a good option if you're concerned about pesticide residues, especially since celery is often listed as a "dirty" vegetable due to its susceptibility to pesticide use. Organic celery can reduce your exposure to these chemicals, but washing conventional celery thoroughly can also help minimize pesticide intake. Eating organic is one way to prioritize health and limit potential toxins from your diet.

[@annemariewellhoff982]

Exactly 😅

[@Buddha-of8fk]

Celery!! Try washing it genius!!

[@ForeverHealthUS]

Absolutely! Washing celery before consumption is a crucial step to remove any dirt, pesticides, or contaminants. Rinsing it under cold water and scrubbing lightly with your fingers or a vegetable brush helps ensure it’s clean and safe to eat. This simple step can make a big difference in keeping your meals healthy and free from unwanted residues. Thanks for the reminder!

[@ForeverHealthUS]

You're absolutely right! A diabetes education program and personalized nutrition consultations can be life-changing for managing the condition effectively. These programs teach essential skills like: Meal planning: Learning how to balance carbs, proteins, and fats to keep blood sugar stable. Glycemic index awareness: Identifying foods that impact blood sugar levels the most. Portion control: Understanding how much is safe to eat without spiking blood sugar. Monitoring blood sugar: Knowing how food, activity, and medications affect your glucose. Working with a registered dietitian or certified diabetes educator is especially valuable because they provide tailored guidance based on your health goals, lifestyle, and medical needs. These professionals can also help dispel myths and clear confusion from online advice. If your medical facility offers these resources, taking advantage of them is an excellent step toward improving your health and potentially extending your life. Proactive learning and management are key to thriving with diabetes! 😊

It’s great to hear that you had the opportunity to attend such a wonderful program at Virginia Mason Hospital, which is known for its excellent diabetes care and research through the Benaroya Diabetes Foundation. It's amazing that this foundation was established by someone who also contributed to the community in other significant ways, like with the symphony hall. Diabetes can run in families, and it’s clear that you're knowledgeable and aware of your health, which is empowering.

@ My grandfather was a double amputee in his old age. My dad, before glucose meters, was a disciplined eater, a guy who never missed his walk, and a great example to follow. My sister and I have completely different issues…I have never had a low glycemic emergency…she has them routinely, despite every precaution. Not a predictable disease…

[@ForeverHealthUS]

It sounds like your family has experienced a range of challenges with diabetes, and it's understandable how unpredictable the condition can be. Even with strict discipline in eating and exercise, like your dad, the disease can still affect individuals differently. It’s especially difficult when the symptoms and responses to treatment vary so much, as in the case with you and your sister. Diabetes management is often a journey of trial and error, finding what works for each person, and it’s important to stay adaptable, like you’ve been doing. The key is to focus on staying informed, maintaining a balanced lifestyle, and supporting each other through the ups and downs. Your dad’s example of discipline is a great foundation, and it’s reassuring to see how you're staying connected to that tradition while finding your own way. Keep up the good work, and remember to reach out for support when needed. 😊
