You Can Eat Your Favorite Foods

Posted by Ben On May - 27 - 2008ADD COMMENTS

Diabetes meal plans have changed quite a bit from the early advice that people with type 1 diabetes had to follow rigid eating patterns. Rich foods like pizza and ice cream were strictly off-limits. The timing, amount, and kind of food were restricted, and the food had to match the insulin dose.

Luckily, things are a little more flexible now. Since the availability of rapid-acting insulin (such as lispro), people with type 1 diabetes can follow a normal, balanced diet. Insulin can be matched to your daily lifestyle, instead of the other way around. For example, a salad with chicken strips and a diet cola might require 1 or 2 units of insulin. Two slices of pizza, a glass of milk, and ice cream might require 10 units.

Type 2 diabetics can find that they can eat some of their favorite foods in moderation.

With training from your diabetes care team and a little experience, you can learn how much insulin you need to control your blood glucoses for different types of meals. If you are using the old-style therapy of pattern control, talk to your diabetes care team about how to change your therapy to the food you eat.

Low Fat Herb Omelet

Posted by Ben On May - 22 - 2008ADD COMMENTS

This recipe serves: 1
Cooking time: 2 minutes

Ingredients

2 large egg whites, or 1/4 cup egg substitute
1 teaspoon peanut oil
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped chives, parsley or dill

Cooking Instructions

Crack the egg whites into a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk to combine completely.

Heat peanut oil over medium heat in a 6″ non-stick omelet pan until almost smoking.

Pour in the egg mixture and immediately stir with a spatula. While stirring, quickly shake the skillet in a back and forth motion directly on the heat surface. (Do not lift the pan off the heat surface, as this will cool the pan.) This step should not take more than 15 seconds.

When the egg is almost set, remove the pan from the heat and add the herbs across the center of the omelet.

Fold the omelet in half and turn it onto a warm plate.
