I think it would be interesting to know what foods are allowed and forbidden to diabetics.
I think it would be interesting to know what foods are allowed and forbidden to diabetics.
Regarding Food, there is something called Glycemic Index(GI). It measures how quickly blood sugar rises after the consumption of food ( ideally after 2 hours of consumption). Accordingly, the food is categorized into
A GI of 100 is considered standard.
A food with high GI ( white bread ,corn flakes etc) raises the blood sugar quickly. So, they are not advised to the diabetes patient with high blood sugar. But they are considered useful in case of the hypoglycemic patient.
Low GI food are: peaches, strawberries, mangos,mushrooms, beans ,wheat, millet, oat, rye etc. They are considered comparatevely good for diabetes patient.

nice article @justtryme90
I agree with you @allesia It would be really helpful
Foods that are easily converted into simple sugars should be avoided. And things composed mostly of simple sugars shouldn't be consumed (soda). I don't think anything is forbidden, just the consequences of consuming too much sugar may very well be years taken from your lifespan.
