Celebrate your Diwali, Diabetes Friendly

 

Celebrate your Diwali, Diabetes Friendly

Statistics reveal that all those with pre-existing blood sugar levels are noted to show a 15 to 18 percent rise in sugars during the festive season. Managing health during festive times like Diwali becomes very hard for such people.

Should diabetics not celebrate Diwali? Diabetics also often ask the question 'Can I eat sweets with diabetes?'

The Diet of people who suffer from Diabetes generally focuses on healthy foods. But having sweets once in a while by following few instructions is okay. The key to good health in diabetes is moderation.

Here are special tips which people with diabetes should follow during Diwali -

  • What sweets are good for diabetics? Are sugar-free sweets ok for type 2 diabetes? Actually, diabetics should avoid sweets prepared with normal sugar. They should also avoid artificial sweeteners. Instead, use a natural sweetener (Stevia) Sweetener to prepare the sweets. This will not make you compromise on taste and would not increase your blood sugar level. (you can use Stevia in the form of drops or powder)
  • Go for Whole Grain Flour: Avoid refine products to prepare the sweets like maida and sugar. Make it healthier by preparing it with whole grain flour. (some of the whole grains like Jowar Atta and Khapli Gehu Atta can be used)
  • Enjoy Nuts and Dry Fruits: Add healthy items like almonds, walnuts, dates, or black currants in the sweets to make it delicious and diabetes-friendly. They taste good and helps your sweet get a perfect look.

Important Note: These are the special points diabetics should note down in their minds.

  • We advise you to have sweets only if your blood sugar is normal (Fasting below 100 and PP below 140) or at least close to normal.
  • Those who are in an advanced stage of reversal must experiment with different varieties and quantities of sweets and share your freedom storiesto inspire others!

Relation between Hypertension (BP) and Diabetes

  What is the link between hypertension and diabetes?   Diabetes is a disorder caused by insulin insensitivity or insulin resistance, a condition created when the body either is unable to produce sufficient insulin or is unable to use the insulin produced.

This is why long-term diabetics are susceptible to complications like high BP, high cholesterol, kidney disease, PCOD/s, obesity, and more.
