 Welcome to Gary's Diabetic Recipes site
On this site we aim to offer advice to both
newly diagnosed diabetics and people who have lived with the
condition for some time. A diabetic menu does have some
restrictions but needn't be dull and boring.
A good diabetic menu is a healthy diet for all the family. You
will still be able to enjoy a wide range of foods and eat a
well balanced diet. You will simply need to choose your menu
wisely and develop sensible eating habits.
Your diabetic diet menu should be used in conjunction with a
good exercise program. The more you are
able to control your weight, both through diet and exercise,
the better you will be able to control your diabetes.
Keeping your weight under control also
helps to lower the risk of strokes, heart disease and high
blood pressure.
As well as information on diabetic diets,
diabetic menus and diabetic recipes you will also find lots of
general information on diabetes.
On this site you will find a diabetic menu plan that you can
download and create your own meal plan for one week at a time.
If you prefer a less rigid menu plan you can simply make a
daily meal plan rather that a weekly menu plan. We also have an
ebook packed with great recipes.
The recipes in the ebook will enhance any diabetic menu.
A good balanced diabetic menu plan consists of foods low in
sugar, fat and salt – the same kind of diet recommended for
non-diabetics.
The diabetic menu should consist of foods from the following
groups:
Approximately one third of your nutrition should come from
fruit and vegetables, one third from cereals, breads and
potatoes and one third from meat, fish and dairy products or,
in the case of vegetarians, suitable alternatives to animal
products. Foods containing fats and sugar should be kept to a
minimum.
The information on this site will help you with your diabetic
menu and your meal plans. If you have and special needs or
considerations, you should be able to get good advice from your
GP or your dietician. If you have not seen a dietician ask your
GP for a referral.
This is a collection of really tasty recipes
suitable for diabetics. All of the dishes can be safely eaten
without having a dramatic impact on your blood glucose levels.
The recipes have been specially chosen to cater for the whole
family.
A “diabetic diet” is a healthy diet for everyone. Inside the
book you will find a tasty collection of starters, main meals,
desserts, sauces and snacks. The meals are simple to prepare
and delicious to eat.
