Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It can sometimes be hard to know what to eat when you are a diabetic

Carbohydrates and sometimes proteins (though not as much), increase the blood sugar.
There are some types of carbohydrates that increase the blood sugar faster and cause more problems.
These are called carbohydrates with a ' high glycemic index'

It is best to use carbohydrates which have a 'low glycemic index'. This means that they raise the carbohydrates very slowly and cause less problems.

You should try to have a diet that has more carbohydrates for the low glycemic index list. These should be used with proteins (either animal proteins or plant proteins if you are a vegetarian) and a lot of vegetables and salads.

Good carbohydrates for diabetics are: (1) 100% stone ground whole wheat bread
(2)steel cut oat meal or oatbran---- THE INSTANT OATMEAL IS NOT GOOD IN DIABETES
(3)sweet potato, corn,yam, lentils, legumes,lima beans or butter beans
(4)vegetables like beets, carrots, cauliflower, celery, beans , asparagus, broccoli, brussel sprouts, mushrooms, okra, salad greens, pepper, radish , egg plant
(5)fruits like cherries, grapefruit, dried apriocots, apples, pears, oranges, plums


These carbs can be used with your animal protein (eggs, meat, fish or plant protein if you are a vegetarian)

Avoid these carbohydrates- (1)avoid sodas and fruit drinks. Drink a lot of water
(2)avoid white bread, cornflakes, XXXXXXX flakes, instant oatmeal
(3)reduce white rice, russet potato
(4)reduce ripe bananas, ripe apricots, pineapple, XXXXXXX black grapes, papaya

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
