Here's some Diabetic Friendly Tips for your cooking....
* Include beans several times a week: Dried beans, lentils and dried peas are a good source of protein, and are loaded with fiber, vitamins and minerals.
* Heart-healthy cereals such as Cheerios and high-fiber mixes are a good bet.
* Olive oil or a similar healthy cooking oil is essential.
* Look for jellies and jams labelled as “reduced sugar.”
* Go for low-fat dairy items, such as 1% milk and cheese.
* Reach for ingredients other than sugar, salt, and fat to satisfy your taste buds. Try out different herbs, spices (cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg), mustards, and vinegars (balsamic, sherry). Some spices may even have health benefits of their own. Cinnamon, for example, may help lower blood sugar levels.
