If you have adult onset diabetes, there are two types of foods that you may be ingesting on a regular basis that you should completely cut out of your diet altogether. These 2 are really bad choices and can greatly increase your risk of complications. You are the only one in control of what you eat and the only one that can really control what you put into your body. This makes you the only person who can increase your chances for better health and a good long life that is lived to its fullest.

The 2 Really Bad Foods Choices are:

1. Alcohol is really a non food item and its consumption should be limited or avoid it altogether. Talk to your doctor about how alcohol affects diabetes. Consuming too much can cause some serious complications, including coronary artery disease, high blood pressure and nerve damage.

A few common pointers are:

• Don’t drink on an empty stomach, instead drink alcohol with your meals
• Only drink moderate amounts. Men should only have as much as two alcoholic drinks a day and women should only have one

Avoid alcohol completely if your blood sugar is not under control

2. Unhealthy Snacks that are processed, high in fats and sugars, even when homemade, should be carefully limited and/or avoided.

Examples of bad snacks are:

• Pastries
• Candy
• Ice cream
• Donuts
• Chips
• Cookies

Choose Really Good Food Choices Instead

Get used to reading labels and look for foods that are low in sugar, fat, salt, and replace unhealthy choices with these foods such as:

• Fresh fruits
• Fresh vegetables
• Lean meats
• Low fat cheese
• Whole grain flour
• Brown rice
• High fiber foods as in grains and legumes

Although changing your diet over to a healthier way of eating because you have diabetes may be difficult and frustrating at first. After time, you will begin to notice you are feeling better, have more energy and your blood sugar is under control. The choice is really simple, choose life giving foods and avoid the disease causing ones and you will increase not only the quality of your life but the length of it as well.
