>

diabetes impacts more than one out of 10 of us. ktiv's sheila brummer is straightening out some myths when it comes to what to eat when faced with the disease in today's centsable health.

whitney. whitney: thanks, sheila. good to see you too sheila. today, we're going to clear up three myths on what you should or should not eat if you have tyye i or type ii diabetes. the american diabetes associaaion actually has 10 myths on their website, but i just picked 3. the ones that are the most misconceptions from what i heard about diabetes. they are also the easiest to clear up as well. my food doesn't represent everything the best. these are the foods that i think will work as well. the first myth is that people with abetes have to follow a very special diet or buy special products specifically for people with diabetes. the overall recommendedediet for someone with diabetes s s the same as the rest for us. full of non-starchy vegetables, whole grains, lean meat and things like that. things to keep in mind with diabetes is our second myth: and that has to deal with carbohydrates. so, carbohydrates are what affects

insulin. that is the issue with diabetes whether it's type 1 or type 2. sometimes people with diabetes especially when they're just diagnoses think they can't have grains or other starchy foods. so, i have things while oatmeal, whole wheat pasta or bread and sweet potatoes. they think they can't eat those at all. but, it's really important for people to keep eating their carbohydrates. what you really want to do is monitor and count your carbobodrates. that way you keep your r ood sugar consistent throughout the day. because these starchy foods are doing to raise your blood sugar so you probably don't want to eat a ton of these on an empty stomach and then don't eat for a little while. so, you can still choose these product just make sure you are getting the whole grain or whole wheat varietieie that's just what wewe recommend for everyrye. sheila: is there a certain gram level you want to focus on? or, just es it vary person toerson? whitney: no, it just varies person to person. i am not in a position to give out medical advice. person to person you should know your carb level you need throughout the day. sheila: and, stay away from the bad sugars. whitney: yes, they will make your blood sugar spike really high. and, again these myths are what we kind of say for everyone when it comes to advice. sheila: and, there's one final one.

whitney: the last one is fruit and low fat milk and yogurt are healaly i can n t as much as i want.t. while they are healthy and should be part of some healthy life style these also raise your blood sugar. these just make sure you are watching your portions and if your counting just make sure your adjusting your insulin appropriately. just keep in mind it's more than your typical grains and starches that raise your blood sugar. you can keep these things in but juste counting them appropriately and working with your health care provider to work out your specific needs. sheila: that's the big things for sure. of course you haveve0 total ths that we'll link on our website if you go to ktiv.com and go to our webpage to check out more on this week's centsable health and other centsable health topics. thank you so much for joining us this week
