Vinegar helps to keep blood sugar spikes at bay for diabetics who eat it during a meal. Some people actually recommend drinking it straight before you eat! I like to sprinkle it on a salad, or douse my vegetables in it. It's also great for marinating meats! It's extremely versatile.

 

If you're working to lose weight and keep your Diabetes in check but can't find any healthy breakfast options with protein that you enjoy, try a smoothie. You can buy protein powder at a health food store (make sure to ask if it has any sugar or artificial sweeteners) and you can put a scoop in to up the nutritional punch!

 

Hey there, Diabetics! Have you ever thought of turning your burger inside out? Well, not exactly, but putting the lettuce on the outside will get rid of that carbohydrate-laced bun and increase the amount of vegetables you're eating. Replace the hamburger with a lentil patty for an even healthier treat!

 

If your doctor tells you that your Diabetes pills aren't doing enough to keep your blood glucose levels in check, don't panic. You won't necessarily have to use needles as insulin pens are now available that give you the dose you need without being painful. If you can't afford these pens, some pharmaceuticals have programs to assist you like Needy Meds.

 

A dip in blood sugar is NOT an excuse to raid your fridge for goodies. Pick up some glucose tablets or small candies and take ONE OR TWO until your blood sugar is back in line. Eating a slice of cake will just make your blood sugar skyrocket, leading to a need for medication and weight gain.

 

If you have diabetes and also happen to have a sweet tooth then do not despair. Many of the candies and treats that you enjoy so much have sugar free alternatives on the market. This way you can satisfy your cravings without sacrificing or putting your health at great risk.

 

If you have been diagnosed with diabetes, I am sure you know how to check your blood sugar. You should check it before meals and at bedtime. This insures that if there is a sudden change in your blood sugar levels, you know in advance to address the situation in a timely fashion lest an emergency arise.

 

As stated at the beginning of this article, if you have been diagnosed with diabetes then you are having to live a little bit differently than you did before the diagnosis.
