Ew. Healthy.

When you’re a diabetic, the one rule you have to learn to live by is: Eat right. For some of us, that’s probably hard to do, so just because you’re a diabetic, that doesn’t make it easy right? I’d think not. So I did my research this week on what types of foods diabetics can eat. It didn’t surprise me that fruits and vegetables were at the very top of the “to eat” list but there are even regulations on that. Diabetics should not eat starchy vegetables like potatoes and corn. Beans, though, are highly recommended because they keep your blood sugar down and have a good supply of fiber. Any type of nut is also a food for diabetics to eat as well, but they are very high in calories so that is something to consider while eating them. Fish and poultry breasts are highly recommended as well. Apparently, poultry breasts can help with insulin and blood sugar levels. All of these foods sound very useful for your health, but they don’t sound as good as chocolate cake or ice-cream. Can you imagine it? “Alright, who’s ready for cake? Oh yeah, you’re a diabetic. Well there’s some left over salad if you want to eat that for dessert.” Let’s just say, I wouldn’t be able to handle all the healthy foods. I wonder how they do it…
