Green vegetables (especially spinach) is really good. Have  a glass of bitter gourd juice first thing in  the morning. Tastes bad, but is very healthy. \n\nSweets and anything high on calories is strictly taboo. Switch over to wheat bread. \n\nHere's a useful tip:Always carry a packet of sandwiches or a few sugar-free biscuits with you. Diabetic people tend to get hungry soon and should never be on an empty stomach.\n\nApart from following a healthy diet, walk briskly for 30 minutes at dawn and try to walk at least 15 minutes in the evening. \n\nA good diet complemented by regular exercise may eliminate the need for medicine.

Veggies, fruit, rice cakes...\nI know that's boring!  But if you watch the serious entrees, you can cheat *a little* with snacks.  Baked snacks, like some of the cheese crackers; cheese and low fat beef sticks.  Yogurt (gogurt is fun) jello and low fat cool whip, cottage cheese with your fav. fruit on it.  Low fat (not fat free) pudding.\n\nThe last 2 answerers are being mean!  I object!

I have had diabetes for 13 years now. As myself and my parents became more aware of diabetes, we discovered that the best type of recipes to go for are ones in which have enough carbohydrate to keep my blood sugar stable, but doesn't have a lot of fat in. \n\nI suggest things like, pasta dishes. Beef or Pork Stews. Lasagne. Noodles. I'm afraid I don't know any recipes off hand, but if you have a look online for healthy eating recipes rather than so called, 'Diabetic' recipes, you will be able to find some good hints and suggestions. Try to steer away from foods with a lot of salt content and try not to add any salt to your diet.\n\nAs far as desserts go, I would suggest things with low sugar and fat content. Again, health eating recipes are good. \n\nGood luck and bon apetite!

Exercise and giving up all high glycemic index foods, including sweets, is best.\n\nApples are a sweet treat that have a moderate glycemic index, probably due to the pectin fiber content.  Introduce him to Pink Lady and Ida Red and Braeburn apples, which have lots more flavor than those sugary watery "Red Delicious" things that Americans are used to.  Get them in the fall red off the tree, if possible.\n\nTell him to walk fast for two miles every other day, or four miles with a purposeful stride at least twice a week.  The idea is to get his heart rate up and make him struggle, at least a little, with rapid, deep breathing, and maintain the workout for about an hour (or two).\n\nApocalypse Beans and Rice Soup is a sensible low-calorie diabetic dish invented by David S, who is sadly no longer on Yahoo Answers.\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20061017133048AAIKpoh

You can always eat a healthy  diet along with the rest of your family if you follow the below guidelines:\nPlanning your family meals ahead of time so you can enjoy the same foods as other family members. \nProviding lots of variety in the foods you eat so it's easier to follow your plan. \nTesting your blood sugar after meals to see what effect different foods have on your blood sugar level. \n\nRegarding your initial question, you may use more wheat, less sugar, limited rice, pleny of fresh and green vegetables and the list goes on...\nSince in diabetes your protien, carbohydrate and fat metabolism is affected, you need to eat not just less carb, but a healthy balanced meal...You may consult with a dietician who help you in menu planning

Cut up some fresh veggies and keep them in a zip lock baggie in the fridge. Include celery, carrots, bell pepper strips, broccoli, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, jicama. You can even use some fat free dip if you don't overdo it.\n\nFruit can be good if you don't eat too much of it. Berries (especially blueberries) are very good for you. Grapes, apples, oranges, pears, peaches, etc. are good, but you have to watch the sugar content, especially if you are diabetic.\n\nRice cakes are low in calories. \n\nA smoothie made from yoghurt, orange juice, berries and a little honey can give you an energy boost. Put them all into a blender with some crushed ice and blend just until it's frothy. You can add some oats to make it more nutritious.

You can get intouch with your local Diabetic clinic they should have some leaflets or advice for you, if it is you that is diabetic you should of been given this help already. I had to research the different types of diet requirements of a type 1 and type 2 diabetic and the clinics were the best source of advice most of my research showed that a diet low in fat low in salt and moderatly low in sugar although do be careful as some low sugar foods and drinks have sugar alternatives which could also be harmful to insulin levels and foods that are high in fibre like brown bread and rice should help.  To maintain your insulin levels foods that have a low Glyceamic index should also benefit as they release energy slower which means your insulin release is more steady.

You don't have to avoid anything, but you do need to limit your consumption of carbohydrates. Simple carbs like sugar, honey, syrup, etc are quickly metabolized into blood sugar and will cause your blood sugar to spike quickly. You should greatly limit these things, but always carry hard candy with you and eat it if you feel your blood sugar getting too low. Complex carbs like rice, beans, potatoes, etc. take longer to metabolize so your blood sugar level raises slower over a linger period of time, but you have to limit the quantity to avoid causing your blood sugar to go to high. 1/2 cup of pasta, potatoes, corn, beans, any starch is one serving. 1 slice of bread=1 serving. You should check with your local hospitals and your doctors office to see if they offer diabetic education classes, if they don't then ask your doctor to refer you to a dietitian. Good Luck!

The best thing for a diabetic is a consistent diet along with a consistent exercise schedule.  This helps in regulating the amount of insulin needed to keep your system in balance.\n\nWhile there are no banned foods, you should be careful with any kind of food with lots of added sugar.  As a diabetic you should know that maintaining a careful sugar-insulin balance is very important.\n\nIf you are talking about being overweight and losing weight, well there are ways to do that too.  Slowly increase your exercise patterns while slowly decreasing your food intake.  \n\nIf you want more information on weight loss, look under my best answers on dieting and losing weight.  If you are diabetic then you should check with your doctor for more details.

Most of the carbs a diabetic gets should be slow digesting carbs like whole grains, fruits and vegetables.  Even those should be limited, but yes, they should be stretched out through the day.  Avoid things like white bread and cook potatoes with the skins on.  Never ever put uncooked potatoes in the refrigerator.  Refrigerating them turns the carbs directly into sugar and any benefits are lost.

Generally they can eat what ever they want, whether that be a cup of plain sugar or a sugar free piece of bread, as long as the medications that they are taking compensate for the amount of sugar and carbohydrates that they consume.\nI've had diabetes for 25 years and I have 2 cups of vanilla ice cream (and no it's not that "sugar-free" crap either) with butter scotch and chocolate fudge toppings every night for the past few years and my A1C is 6.2. \nSo go ahead and eat whatever your heart desires, just remember to take enough medications or insulin to compensate for what you are eating.

I know this is not going to be an answer that you will particularly like, because it is not condusive with a fast paced lifestyle that does not allow time for food preparation, but still I feel compelled to offer you some input.  Microwaving food is really quite unhealthy, first of all.  The micro-waves obliterate the nutrients in food and cause the cells to mutate.  I have stopped using microwave after learning this.  Second, only natural, whole food are healthy.  The reason diabetis exists in the first place is due to society's new unnatural eating habits.  If you want to give your father something healthy, prepare him some whole grain rice and steamed vegetables.  (boiled rice takes ten minutes as do steamed vegetables.)  Fresh fruit like watermelon, cantalope, and honeydew are good due to their lower sugar content.  Leafy green vegetables are ideal as well as potatoes. \nI know it's not an easy fix, but it is a healthy one. \n\nNote: On the Hawthorn Institute website, they offer free online audio lectures that may be helpful for you.
