Guest guest Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 I love that diabetic breakfast. It would have me shaking from low blood sugar within two hours and that was before I became borderline. But that is the three starch servings that is being advocated. No wonder diabetics have problems controlling their BS and eating. But then again one of the latest quotes I saw described meat as the new four letter word. Sad very sad.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Jackie, I appreciate your comments, and admit that my expertise is not DM. Your input as both an RD and diabetic person is valuable. It shows to me that everything must be individualized and constant monitoring should be available – preferably by RD – during the adjustment period for new diabetics as well as for those that are old and living at home. I haven’t had time to read the blog so can’t comment on that, however, as an RD I have always advised my patients/clients to avoid high carbs including complex for breakfast or first meal of the day. I recommend that they have a protein equivalent, enough fat, fiber and carb, but not just carbs alone. Many ppl, me included, start the day w a glass of juice. For me, no problem – not diabetic, can’t face the day, take BP meds, and 4 – 6 oz OJ first thing start my brain going, which usually takes about 3 hrs to wake up after I open my eyes. So, your first meal, what is it? And how soon or long thereafter do you have anything else and then what is that? I’m recommending my patients have a HC egg with ½ c 1% milk (depends on age, wt, or if children under 3 at home then go to 2%). Then 1 – 2 hrs after they can have their whole grain and fruit. I try to take them off juices and ask them to replace with ice water or plain water instead, and eat a piece of a low carb fruit (you know, not banana or mango or orange).

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Boy the Food Police would have field day at that hospital. I limit the sodium content of the entree to 300-325 mg per meal. I shoot for about 1500 mg calculated figuring that some will sneak in anyway. As long as you stay away from our soups you could very easily do a 2-3 g sodium diet with out thinking. Thats why everyone complains about the restaurant food when they travel.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 My first meal is usually an egg fried, toast, and a slice of bacon. About twice a week we have hot cereal, toast and I get my favorite a boiled egg. Weekends are pancakes and reindeer sausage. Breakfast is the most stable meal of my day. I usually eat lunch at the hospital. It doesn't look good id the boss doesn't eat there and cook a simple dinner of meat or fish and a vegetable. I do take exception tuna noodle casserole day and go out for an hamburger and fries (not fast food).

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Ok, those are excellent examples for me, bc I like to give a little menu so ppl have an idea that they don't have to starve themselves. Unfortunately a lot of my diabetics start their day with a bean burrito and they just can't leave those beans. Although that's protein, it's too much carb for most in the morning. But, that's better than the " pan " (sweet bread - and not the organ) to start the day that is so popular in the morning. Thanks for the quick response.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 But dried beans have NOT been shown to increase glucose like other carbs, so I recommend them to diabetics. They are high in soluble fiber which slows down the absorption of glucose plus helps lower cholesterol.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 I agree with , I recommend my patients to eat dried beans as well. I prefer that they eat them instead of white rice, pasta or even potatos. The high content in fiber reduces the glucose absorption as well cholesterol. Those fibers are also fermented by gut bacteria into short chain fatty acids. Short chain fatty acids promote gut integrity since they are the substract of colonocits. They also enter the entero-hepatic circulation and reduce hepatic synthesises of cholesterol, some research suggest they can also protect the hepatocite and improve the liver function in hepatic encephalopathy.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Thanks for clarifying, Jackie, bc you're exactly right. My clients usually eat 6 - YES! SIX TORTILLAS PER MEAL. And if burrito is the meal, then it's a huge one as you describe, with cheese, sometimes rice, salty salsa, and sour cream. Many use canned refried made with shortening or some other form of fat, not freshly prepared dried beans.

Not those cute little two bite burritos.

They are high in soluble fiber which slows down the absorption of glucose plus helps lower cholesterol.
