Diabetes foods: High and low carbohydrates in foods
You should always be worried about the content of the food you eat, either you have diabetes or not. A sane mind stays in a sane and healthy body. So, it’s better to prevent rather than to cure. Simple carbohydrates are considered those sugars found in refined white sugar, sucrose, corn syrup, high-fructose corn syrup, dextrose, white flour, enriched flours, and so on found in ice cream, cakes, cookies, sweets, desserts, candy bars. All these sugars can promote diabetes through a rapid raise of sugar blood level. Complex carbohydrates on the other part are considered starches found in entire grains, vegetables, beans, nuts, and very healthy for your body. They are slowly digestible and provider of a constat energy to your body, and the raise of sugar blood level is very slow.
• Bread, rice, starchy vegetables, cereal, pasta
• Fruits
• Milk and yogurt
