Type 2 Diabetes Recipe

Fortunately, current ideas about dietary restrictions for diabetics center more on carb counting for diabetics instead of simply avoiding all sugars and sweets. This means that a type 2 diabetes recipe doesn’t have to be bland or tasteless.

Many times, when a person thinks of diabetes the first thing that comes to mind is that sugar intake must be limited. Many people are simply uneducated as to the fact that the sugars that build up in the bloodstream of the diabetic is called glucose and is a sugar that is processed from all the carbohydrates that the body takes in, this means that not only is the chocolate bar dangerous, but the big bowl of white rice or the buttery baked potato and white bread can be an enormous no-no for the diabetic.

Low Carb Diabetic Breakfast Recipes

Even basic carb counting tells us that these starchy foods are quickly converted directly into glucose by the body. But with the proper type 2 diabetes recipe the diabetic can eat almost anything in moderation.

Even though glucose is essential since it provides fuel to power every cell in the body, it can be highly detrimental in high ranges, and the best way for the diabetic to live a long and healthy life is to keep glucose levels as close to normal as possible.

There are lots of diabetic diet plans available, and even whole recipe books written about carb counting for diabetics. The one thing to remember when choosing a diet plan of carb counting for diabetics is that the best dietary plan is the one you can live with and practice regularly and the best type 2 diabetes recipe is the one you enjoy preparing and eating!

However, if you take a few minutes the night before to plan and prepare, you will benefit from a healthy, nutritious, delicious breakfast that will fill you full of energy and even more importantly, keep your blood sugar stable.

Recipes for type 2 diabetes

There are many different types of recipes for type 2 diabetes but some of the favorites are apple pie, broccoli salad, fruit salad and many others as well. Most diabetics don’t realize that they can eat just the same as other people without the added sugar or using the sugar substitute instead.

For example a great recipe for type 2 diabetes is Apple Pie and is as follows –

1 frozen pie shell

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Peel and core, cut into thin slices 6-8 medium apples (a lot of people like their apples cut thin, but we prefer to chunk ours up or chop them up into smaller pieces, we find that holds the flavor better.)

As you are fixing the apples you can cook the frozen pie shell according to the directions on the package.

Place apples into a bowl and add 2-3 pats of butter, 1-2 tsp of cinnamon and 2-3 tablespoons of Splenda or Sweet and Low, mix well. Add mixture to the prepared and baked pie shell, sprinkle a little cinnamon on top and then put back into the oven until done, approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour.

This is a great recipe for type 2 diabetes patients or anyone that has diabetes. This Apple Pie recipe and many other diabetic recipes can be found online through the American Diabetic Association as well as through your local library. Diabetic recipes and cookbooks can be found through mail order catalogs, online, through your local library and also through the American Diabetic Association because they all know how important it is to deal and take care of diabetes.

Recipes for type 2 diabetes is a great thing to have handy when you are a diabetic or have friends and family members that are diabetic so that you too can offer them the same great tastes that you are eating.
