Delicious Diabetic Options

Did you know that an estimated 7 percent of the U.S. population has diabetes?  Sadly, there’s no cure for this particularly ugly disease – but doctors teach and preach that through diet and insulin one can control their diabetes. Better to control it than for it to control you, right?

Experts agree that the following treats help a diabetic and should be included in their daily diet.

  1. TEA.  Polyphenols - which are chemicals found in black, green, and oolong teas – boost insulin activity.
  2. CINNAMON.  Less than half a teaspoon daily increases sugar metabolism in fat cells.
  3. BUCKWHEAT.  Contains chemical compounds that reduce blood sugar levels.
  4. CHERRIES.  Contain chemicals called antocyanins that increase insulin production.
  5. GUAVA.  Extracts from apple guavas lower blood-sugar levels.
  6. COCOA.  Decreases insulin resistance.

If any of you have diabetes, start taking it as seriously as you would if it were your spouse or child with the disease.  Make yourself walk the same line you’d insist they walked if they had the disease.  Diabetes is serious stuff and should be given all the respect it deserves!
