Can diabetics eat Angel food cake?
928295
All food affects the glucose level in our blood and as a diabetic it becomes increasingly difficult to regulate. I am not sure if you are a type 1 or a type 2 diabetic. So I am not sure if you are insulin dependent. A diabetic can eat Angel food cake under most circumstances but you still need to take into account how it will affect your blood sugar. Whenever in doubt consult with your physician but a diabetic can eat the same foods as a non diabetic the most important thing is to closely monitor your blood sugar levels and to keep going to your doctor.

I like to use jello brand sugar free pudding mix, with sugar free cool whip.  At my kroger they have in the diabetic food section sugar free pie crust.  Like the grahan craker ones.  I am a type 1 diabetic so I am able to use insulin to cover what ever I eat so at holidays I do eat the real thing, but I do make sugar free pudding in crust a lot and my kids even love it.

The key is to eat a balanced diet of carbs vs proteins vs fats.  Usually we recommend that diabetics avoid high sugar foods such as regular colas, syrup (sugar free is okay) and moderate their intake of sweets and baked goods.  Have you been to see a registered dietician or diabetic nurse educator?  Either would be very helpful in helping you to acclimate and succeed at managing your diabetes.  I wish you the best.

Diabetes Food Plan for Diabetics\nNever skip meals. Include high fiber carbohydrate foods which lead to a slow and gradual rise in blood glucose levels. Choose a variety of foods including vegetables, fruit, breads, cereals, dairy products, etc.\nBreads like whole grain, multi grain varieties.\nHigh fiber breakfast cereals especially oats, and other bran cereals. Go to High fiber foods\nWhole wheat pasta\nRice and grains like basmati rice, barley, etc. Go to rice recipes.\nLegumes and lentils such as baked beans, kidney beans, chick peas, mung dal, etc.\nFruits - such as oranges, apples and stone fruits.\nAll vegetables.\nStarchy vegetables such as sweet potato, corn, potatoes, etc.\nSkim milk, skim yogurt. The archive of Internal Medicine, 2005 has reported the results of a research study of 12 years on 41000 men, showing that the risk of developing diabetes Type 2 fell as intake of low fat daily products increase.\nA recent study (January 2004 issue of the Journal Diabetes Care.) suggests that magnesium-rich foods like can significantly lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, even in obese people. People should therefore, get the recommended amount of magnesium by eating leafy green vegetables, nuts, and other magnesium-rich foods. Supplemental magnesium can be harmful, especially for people with kidney disease, says Diabetes expert Jerry Nadler.\nLimit intake of excess sugars in foods which are high in saturated fat like baked foods or low in nutritional value lollies and soft drink.\nConsume moderate total fat and limit saturated fat\nFor tips on how to reduce fat intake, go to How to avoid fat in diet?.\nLimit alcohol.\nExercise daily: Exercise helps in lowering the blood glucose levels.

Diet is an integral part of diabetes management.\nDiet for diabetics is no different from the normal healthy diet recommmended for everybody.\n\nFat should be reduced to 30% of total energy intake, and consist mainly of unsaturated fats. Protein should be 15 % and carbohydrates 50-55 % of total energy intake.\nPatients should eat complex carbohydrates like potatoe and pasta, which are absorbed relatively slowly from the gastrointestinal tract, thus prevent the rapid fluctuation in blood sugar that occur with simple sugars, such as sucrose or glucose, are eaten.\nIt is better to spread nutrients throughout the day in the form or three main meals, in addition to snacks in between meals and at bedtime, which reduces swings in blood sugar.

Yes.\n\nDepends on type of diabetic, if it was trigger by over eating sugar and other stuff. \n\nIn that case if the person is lucky, that person has still enough insulin production and the organ is not damaged, due to over work, then just watching the diet, weight and exercising, with other healthy living habits, the person can recover completely. the person must take insulin and monitor blood sugar, then depending on the sugar level under doctors super vision can reduce the insulin slowly, it is possible for that person to go off of insulin. \n\nHowever the person must keep monitoring the sugar level, and keep the insulin supply handy. The person may have to monitor the level, may be not that often but both the instrument and the insulin must be kept on hand.\n\nPS\n\nThis is true of type "A" (Childhood) diabetic.

Have you checked out the American Diabetic Association website?  Maybe eat 200-300 calories 6 times a day.  It helps to increase  your metabloism.

Yes, because it feeds the bacteria which cause tooth decay.  But it also can wear out your pancreas so you get diabetes, and make you so fat you get a variety of other health problems, not to mention social ones.  A diet low in sugar is by far preferred.  Also, the more refined the sugar is, the worse it is for you.  So if you must have something sweet, use fructose, honey, and other less refined forms of sweetness.  Better still, break yourself of the habit of expecting things to be very sweet.  Tell yourself it is childish; that you are too old for that.

Your friend really needs a diet set-up for her personally, by a registered nutritionist. Her doctor can set her up with one.\n\nA diabetic diet is based on weight, activity level, type I or II diabetes, and possibly on how advanced the diabetes is, Not certain on the last point.  However, there could also be other underlying medical conditions that need to be considered in the diet planning as well.\n\nThe nutritionist, can give her the info, that is unique to just her and show her the proper way to plan her meals.\n\nOnce she has seen the nutritionist, you can recommend these sites to her;\n\nhttp://www.healthsquare.com/mc/fgmc2022htm\nhttp://www.diabeteslibrary.org/news/news_item.cfm\nhttp://diabetic-recipes.com/recipes.htm\n  \n\nI commend your support of your friend.

of course you will... why not have a little piece of cake... that way you can have your cake last for a week and you get a piece everyday instead of at one sitting and ending up with a stomach ache. Not to mention the pounds.

All cereals have the about same amount of calories (125/serving) whether it is from carbs or sugar. It's not the sugar that causes diabetes, anyway. I am type 2 diabetic and eat Cheerios almost every day. Aside from that, Cheerios has no sugar in it. Are you referring to Honey Nut Cheerios? Either way, it makes no difference. Carbs or sugar, it all turns into blood glucose. Since Cheerios is made from whole grain oats, it is quite good for her (and you). You really need to get a book called "Diabetes Improvement" by Patrick Quillin. It will help you understand that she can eat practically anything if she keeps her carbs and sugar in check. If she follows the advice in the book, she will probably never have to go on medication or suffer any diabetic complications. Did you know that cinnamon will help her insulin work better? Yes, this is in that book. I've linked the USDA webpage on cinnamon on my diabetes info webpage:\nhttp://www.geocities.com/seabulls69/Type_II_Diabetes.html

Of course not.  Sugar is sugar.  Both honey and sugar (processed or not) are simple carbohydrates, which is what a diabetic should stay away from.  Staying away from sugar is easy.  It's staying away from other carbohydrates that is difficult.  If you have a sweet tooth, you can buy sugarless Recees peanut butter cups, Hershey chocolate bars, and Russell Stover Pecan turtles.  All are no sugar and low glycemic.  As for the idiot who answered a couple of answers before me, Mighty God's name is not Al.

It would probably be based on the suggested American Diabetics Society diabetes diet- which is based on sound nutritional principles:\n\n- portion control\n- reduced sugars, fats, salts, etc.\n- minimal processed foods/chemical additives (such as TV dinners or pop)\n- healthy snack alternatives\n- variety and using all food groups\n\n'Superfoods' are a common answer, but science is showing more and more that there is no such thing. Certain foods are full of certain nutrients, but not to the extent that they demand a special place in your diet. \n\nVibrancy, performance, and disease will also be affected by activity, so you want to be sure to include good activity in your plan. Also- how and when you eat have a role to play too.

I have same trouble. .  dessert has always been my favorite part of the meal.   Unfortunately, there really aren't any shortcuts;  there are four factors that will affect your sugar level   1)Food and 2)Stress will make it go up  and 3) Physical exertion and 4) Insulin will make it go down.  It's a daily chore to maintain a balance of all of these but it's really the only way.   To echo others' sentiments here on Yahoo! Answers,  even if it sounds like really excellent advice!,  Don't depend on it to determine your actions.  Talk to your Doctor or a registered Dietitian please!
