I know it sounds super simple, but this is the first thing I tell someone trying to improve blood sugar levels or manage diabetes through nutrition.

Don’t eat carbohydrates by themselves.

Of all of our macronutrients (carbs, fat, and protein) our bodies process and metabolize carbohydrates the quickest. This means that when carbs are eaten by themselves, your body can digest them fairly quickly, which can potentially lead to rapid rises in blood sugar… More so than we want to see sometimes.

So, we want to slow down the digestion process so that your body is given a more steady supply of energy and we are more likely to see stable, consistent blood sugars after eating. One way to slow down the digestion process is to add in macronutrients that take longer for your body to digest… This is where fat, fiber, and protein come into play.

Here’s some examples:
1) Toast: instead of eating just a plain piece of white bread you could…Add butter for fat, Swap it out for a piece of whole grain toast to add fiber, Add avocado for fat and fiber, Add an egg on top for fat and protein, Add a nut butter to add fat and some protein

2) Milk: Switch from skim milk to 2% or whole milk to add fat

3) Oatmeal: instead of eating it plain, try adding… Nuts or nut butter for fat and fiber, Fruit for fiber, Greek yogurt for protein

This was such a good question! How can sugar-free chocolate chips and regular chocolate chips have the same amount of total carbohydrate? The answer isn’t necessarily about how many carbohydrates are in there, but rather what type of carbohydrates we’re talking about. What other diabetes or blood sugar related nutrition questions do you have? Drop them in the comments!

#gifted Last week, @shot_of_art Houston invited me and my girls to come paint with them and we had the absolute best time! We will for sure be going back!

Pretty sure their favorite part was getting to paint the walls and floor afterwards! They can’t wait to hang their paintings in their rooms!

Rice offers a delicious carbohydrate base to many dishes, but is often feared by people with diabetes. In this post, we’ll discuss some of the many ways people with diabetes can enjoy rice and the best rice for diabetes.

TLDR: Yes, people with diabetes can eat rice as part of a balanced diet.

Do we want to eat rice all by itself? No.

So, if you want to enjoy rice while living with diabetes, you absolutely can. We want to pair your favorite type of rice (watch the video for more on that) with veggies, protein, healthy fats, and other protein and fiber sources.
