FOCUS ON FOOD Eat Right for Diabetes MAKE THIS MAIN DISH YOUR NEW (DELICIOUSLY HEALTHY) MAIN SQUEEZE When you have diabetes, you know it’s important to pay attention to how much sugar you eat. You’re probably very careful about candy, cakes and ice cream. Did you know that your body changes many carbohydrates into sugar, too? That means grains, fruit, vegetables, pasta and even milk affect your blood sugar levels. To keep the balance between sugar and insulin, you can count the carbohydrates you eat. Start by asking your doctor or a dietitian how many servings of carbohydrates you should eat each day. Then, remember that one serving of carbohydrates is 15 grams. Finally, check food labels or free online carb counters to find out the amount of carbohydrates in your favorite foods. Looking for a diabetes friendly, low-carb recipe? Add this one to your repertoire to spice up dinnertime.
