Ok, you have diabetes and you are depressed. You have this strange idea that all sweets and foods with sugar are off limits to you now. At least, that is what some people are telling you that they heard from so and so. That is the #1 most ridiculous food myth about having diabetes. Trying to live like that would depress anyone!

The Truth

The truth is that fruits are sweet. Fruits are a critical part of your daily food plan to supply your body with healthy and life saving nutrients. Eating fruits is included in natural cures for diabetes. Normally you should be eating low glycemic fruits however, like apricots and certain berries. You can find information online in ebooks and some websites about which fruits have the lowest glycemic index. These are the fruits that will be good for people who have diabetes.

YOU absolutely need some sugar in your diet. The truth is that chemical sugars are bad for you. It goes without saying that you can assume that artificial sweeteners are bad for you. The truth is there is nothing wrong with having a sweet desert after a meal. Your nutritionist will include them in your menu planning. However, sweets should not be eaten after every meal and they certainly should not be a major part of your meal.

If you have to take daily insulin injections you are at risk for going into hypoglycemic shock if your insulin dosage is incorrect. Many times a person with diabetes has been helped by quickly eating a small piece of candy, a piece of fruit or by drinking a glass of juice. While these foods should be limited, they can really help a person who has diabetes in an emergency case of insulin overdose.

Don’t believe the myth!

It really is a ridiculous myth if you think about it. The creator made fruit for humans to eat so it is just crazy to think we can not eat these all natural foods that contain sugar even if we have diabetes. Yes, it is fruit sugar we are talking about here, not a chemically man made sugar which is bad for anyone. Even then, a small amount of that is ok if you are a diabetic, like in the case of insulin overdose.

Talk to your medical doctor or nutritionist about which healthy fruits and sugars are ok for you to eat. Armed with a little truth, you will be able to make wise food choices and avoid the many pitfalls of having a dangerously high blood sugar level. Protect your life, learn the myths and truths about this deadly condition.
