There are a lot of protein filled foods that you can try, including beans and tofu. Try mixing it up in order to make your mouth interested.

 

Did you know that it is recommended that diabetics have a diet high in dairy? Studies show that dairy can help keep blood sugar levels from spiking, so having as much low-fat dairy as possible, can be a huge help to a diabetic. Have a tall glass of skim milk at breakfast and some cheese at lunch. It's healthy and tasty!

 

Diabetics must remember that cough lozenges are still candies! Try to buy herbal lozenges which are sweetened with honey, or options that have artificial sweeteners, to make sure that your blood sugar doesn't spike while you have a cough or cold. We have to be so careful about absolutely everything we ingest!

 

While at work, try to get in as much exercise as possible to keep your Diabetes in check. Take the stairs to the next floor to use the washroom, or go for a brisk walk around the cubicles during a break. You can even pump some iron with a bottle of water when you're on the phone!

 

To help yourself deal with a diabetes diagnosis, arrange to meet with a diabetes expert or take a class. Diabetes may seem as though it's overwhelming to live with, but a good instructor can help simplify the disease and give you ways to cope. Getting good advice from a knowledgeable source is invaluable to any diabetes sufferer.

 

Take a thyroid test! If you are diagnosed as Diabetic, find out if you've had your thyroid checked recently. Sometimes thyroid conditions can cause the pancreas to lower its production of insulin! So, getting a blood test to make sure that your thyroid is doing fine is a good idea - before you go on any medications for Diabetes.

 

Having to avoid sugar is a myth when it comes to diabetes. You don't need to eliminate sugar completely, but you have to be smart with sweets. You are still allowed to eat a smaller dessert during special occasions. Sweet desserts contain high amounts of carbohydrates, so on days when you eat dessert, reduce the amount of carbohydrates you eat in your other meals.

 

If you suffer from diabetes, a great tip is to add vinegar to your food. Vinegar has been proven to reduce your post-meal blood glucose levels by as much as 40 percent. The reason is because vinegar can hold food in your stomach for a longer period of time, which buffers the rise in your blood glucose levels. Add some vinegar to your salad.

 

While these herbs and supplements will not cure your diabetes, they can definitely help. If you are unsure about trying these, talk about it with other people with diabetes and consult your doctor as well. Adding supplements and herbs can keep you healthy in other ways as well and help you lead a more healthier life.
