    Mike,

    These foods including rice and bread are dangerous for diabetes
    patients, know what to eat in diabetes

    1. High fiber :- Fiber helps control your blood sugar level and cholesterol, soluble fiber is found in apples, bananas, oats,
    peas, black beans, lima beans, Brussels sprouts and avocado.

    I use wheat bread for my tuna salad sandwiches...and it keeps me
    "Regular".

    2.. High Protein

    Protein foods and supplements can control blood sugar levels
    and improve insulin resistance. You can include high protein
    foods like eggs, legumes, fish, nuts in your diet.

    The Starkist Tuna Salad varieties I have are original (Deli Style),
    Ranch, Bacon Ranch, Hickory Smoke, Honey Barbecue (my favorite), Herb
    N Garlic, and Lemon Pepper. There are other "hot buffalo" varieties,
    but I stay away from them. They are low in carbs, and high in protein.

    3. High-nitrate content food

    Vegetables particularly rich in nitrates include green leafy
    vegetables such as spinach and lettuce as well as fennel,
    radishes, broccoli.

    I like radishes in a salad, but rarely get a chance to go out to a
    salad bar anymore.

    4. Giving curd and milk in limited quantities to low fat dairy
    products can be beneficial for diabetic patients.

    At least there's lactaid for those who are lactose intolerant.

    What not to eat in diabetes

    1. Trans Fat

    Can cause serious health problems for diabetic patients. Trans
    fats are found in spreads, peanut butter, muffins, and other
    bakery foods.

    I used to be on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich kick, but have
    switched to the tuna salads, as noted above, for more variety.

    2. Carbohydrates

    Blood sugar level in the body increases by eating white bread,
    rice and pasta,

    Weight gain and lipoprotein cholesterol level increases. In
    such

    Diabetic patients should avoid white carbohydrate foods.

    What I'm eating now, and even with Funions onion rings, are rather
    low in carbs. Although when told to cut carbs, I sliced a pizza. <G>

    3. Dairy Products

    Full-fat dairy products contain high amount of sugar, due to
    which they are harmful for diabetic patients. This increases
    the risk of heart disease. By eating these things a person also
    becomes fat.

    As I noted above, if one is lactose intolerant, they have to drink
    something like lactaid, or eat lactose free ice cream.

    4. Avoid sweet tea, coffee with sugar and cream, flavored
    coffee and chocolate drinks.

    The only time I drink sweet tea is when I get a chance to go out
    with a friend maybe once a week, if weather and schedules permit. I
    avoid the carbonated beverages, as they give me kidney stones. Also,
    the caffeine in the tea tends to raise my heart rate and blood presssure.
    I never did acquire a taste for coffee.

    5. If you include too much junk food or oily food in your diet,
    it can prove dangerous for diabetic patients.

    I'll scarf some sandwich cookies for dessert on occasion.

    My A1C was 6.2 in November...it'll get checked again in mid-May. The
    sugar has been consistently under 110.

    ... Farts are just ghosts of the things we've eaten.
