Diabetes

What is diabetes? Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not


produce or properly use insulin.
Insulin is a hormone that changes sugar, starches and other food into energy
needed for daily life.

How is diabetes managed?


The management of diabetes has three parts:
The management of diabetes has three parts:

Medication (if needed)

How can I control my diabetes? You can help control your blood sugar (also called
blood glucose) and diabetes when you eat healthy, get enough physical activity, and stay at a
healthy weight.
A healthy weight also helps you control your blood fats (cholesterol) and lower your blood
pressure.
Many people with diabetes also need to take medicine to help control their blood sugar.
Eat Healthy

Using the Food Guide Pyramid helps you eat a variety of healthy
foods. Variety means eating foods from each of the food groups
every day. When you eat different foods each day, you get the
vitamins and minerals you need.

Here is an example of getting a variety of foods each day.


Day 1 Day 2
Grains: tortilla brown rice
Fruit: apple mango
Vegetable: broccoli tomatoes
Dairy: milk yogurt
Protein: chicken beans
Eat From all the Food Groups

♦ Buy whole grain breads and cereals. Some examples are


whole grain breads, bran flakes, brown rice, whole-
wheat pasta, bulgur and amaranth.

♦ Eat fewer fried and high-fat starches such as pastries,


biscuits or muffins.
♦ Fresh fruit is the best choice. When
buying canned fruit, look for the words,
“canned in its own juice.”
♦ Buy smaller pieces of fruit, and drink fruit juices in small
amounts.
♦ Eat raw and cooked vegetables with very little fat.
♦ Use mustard instead of mayonnaise on a sandwich.
♦ Use vegetable cooking oil spray instead of oil, shortening, butter or
margarine, or lard when
cooking.
♦ Cooking techniques that are good for you are: baking, broiling, boiling, stir-frying,
roasting, steaming, stews and
grilling. Avoid cooking foods
in large amounts of oil.
♦ Choose lower fat cuts of meat
such as: chicken, turkey. When
buying pork, beef and ham, trim off the extra fat.
♦ Choose fat free (skim) or low-fat (1%) milk,
or dairy foods.
Grains, Beans and Starchy
Vegetables

What are starches or carbohydrates?


Starches are breads, grains, cereal, pasta, beans or starchy
vegetables. Eat some starches/carbohydrates at each meal.
People might tell you not to eat many starches/carbohydrates,
but that is no longer correct advice. Eating starches/
carbohydrates is healthy for everyone, including people with diabetes.

How many starches/carbohydrates do I need


each day? 6–11 servings each day
The number of servings you should eat each day depends on:
♦ The calories you need
♦ Your diabetes plan
What do starches and carbohydrates do for my body? Starches give your body
energy, B vitamins, minerals and fiber. Whole grains are healthier because they have more
vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Fiber helps you have regular bowel movements. They also help you
better control your blood sugar.
Grains, Beans and Starchy Vegetables (continued)

How much is one serving of starch/carbohydrate?


♦ 1 slice of bread
♦ 1 small potato, casaba or plantain
♦ ½ cup cooked cereal such as oatmeal or cream of wheat
♦ ¾ cup dry cereal such as corn flakes
♦ a cup of cooked rice
♦ 1 small tortilla, roti bread or enjira bread

You may need to eat one, two or three starch/carbohydrate servings at a meal. If you need to eat
more than one serving at a meal, choose different foods from this food group. For example:
Breakfast: ¾ cup dry cereal and 1 slice of bread—2 servings
Lunch: a cup of rice and ½ cup of cooked plantains—2 servings
Dinner: ½ cup of pasta and one bread stick—2 servings
Snack: 6 crackers—1 serving
Total for the day: 7 servings. Notice that the carbohydrates are balanced at the meals. This can
help you control your blood sugars.
Vegetables

Vegetables are healthy for everyone, including people with


diabetes. Eat raw and cooked vegetables everyday. Vegetables
give you vitamins, minerals, and fiber with very few calories. Look for vegetables that are bright in
color. A few examples are: carrots, peppers, eggplant, broccoli, tomatoes, and spinach.
You should have 3 to 5 servings every day.

How much is a serving of vegetables?


♦ ½ cup cooked vegetables, like cooked green beans,
eggplant, spinach and squash
♦ 1 cup raw vegetables, like a salad, carrot sticks or cut
up cucumbers
♦ ½ cup vegetable juice, like tomato juice or carrot
juice
You might need to eat one, two or three vegetable servings at a meal. If you need to eat more than
one serving at a meal, choose different types of vegetables or have two or three servings of one
vegetable.
Fruits

Fruit is healthy for everyone, including people with diabetes. Fruit gives
you energy, vitamins and minerals and fiber.

How many servings of fruit do I need? 2 to 4 servings

What is a serving of fruit?


♦ 1 small apple or pear (approximately the size of a woman’s
fist)
♦ ½ cup of apple or orange juice
♦ ½ of a grapefruit
♦ 1 small banana or ½ of a large banana
♦ ½ cup of chopped fruit
♦ ¼ cup of raisins or dried fruit (approximately what would
fit in the palm of your hand)
You might need to eat one or two servings of fruit at a meal.

How should I eat fruit?


♦ Eat fruits raw, or as juice with no sugar added.
♦ Buy smaller pieces of fruit.
Milk and Yogurt Foods

Fat-free and low-fat milk and yogurt are healthy for everyone,
including people with diabetes. Milk and yogurt give you
energy, protein, calcium, vitamin A, and other vitamins and
minerals.
Drink fat-free (skim or nonfat) or low-fat (1%) milk each day.
Eat low-fat or fat-free yogurt. They have less total fat,
saturated fat and cholesterol.

How many servings do I need each day? 2 to 3 servings each day. Note: If you are
pregnant or breastfeeding, eat four to five servings of milk and yogurt each day.

How much is a serving of milk and yogurt?


♦ 1 cup fat-free plain yogurt (look for yogurts flavored with aspartame also)
♦ 1 cup skim or low-fat milk
Note: Avoid yogurts that say, “fruit on the bottom”. They contain high amounts of added sugar.
Meat, Poultry, Fish, Eggs
and Nuts

This food group contains meat (beef, pork,


lamb), chicken, turkey, eggs, fish, nuts and
tofu or soy products. Eat small amounts of
some of these foods each day. All these foods
provide our bodies with protein.
Protein foods help your body build tissue and muscles. They also give your body vitamins and
minerals.

How many protein foods do I need each day? 2 to 3 servings


How much is a serving of meat, poultry, fish, eggs
and nuts?
♦ 2 to 3 ounces of cooked fish
♦ 2 to 3 ounces cooked chicken
♦ 3 to 4 ounces tofu (½ cup)
♦ 1 egg (equals one ounce of protein)
♦ 1 slice of cheese or one ounce of cheese (approximately
the size of a D battery)
♦ 2 tablespoons of peanut butter (equals one ounce)
Helpful Tips:
♦ The serving size you eat now may be too
big.
♦ Take a look at a deck of cards. This size
is equal to 2 to 3 ounces.
♦ Buy cuts of beef, pork, ham and lamb
that have only a little fat on them. Trim
off the extra fat.
♦ Eat chicken or turkey without the skin.
♦ Cook protein foods in low fat ways:
broil, grill, stir-fry, roast, steam, boil or
stew.
♦ Use only small amounts of oil when cooking meats, or using a cooking spray instead of
oil.
♦ Have a meal without meat. Try beans or tofu as your protein source.
Fats, Oils and Sweets

Fats and oils include butter, margarine, lard and oils that we add to
foods and use to cook foods. Some oils are canola, olive and
vegetable. Fats are also found in meats, dairy products, snack foods
and some sweets. To control your diabetes, it is best to eat foods with less fat and less saturated
fat (fat we get from meat and animal products).
Sweets are sugary foods that have calories but not very many vitamins and minerals. Some sweets
are also high in fat—like cakes, pies, and cookies.
Eating too many sugary and high fat foods makes it hard to control your blood sugar and weight. If you do
eat fats and sweets, eat small portions.

How much is a serving of fats, oils and sweets?


♦ 1 teaspoon oil
♦ 1 tablespoon regular salad dressing
♦ 2 teaspoons light mayonnaise
♦ 1 strip of bacon
♦ 1 cookie
♦ 1 plain doughnut
♦ 1 tablespoon syrup
♦ 10–15 chips
