Diabetic Foods - Fact Or perhaps Fiction?

Diabetic foods: do they truly exist?

What's a diabetic food anyway?

Strictly speaking, there is absolutely no such thing as a "diabetic food." Food is just food.

But you will find foods which raise the blood sugar quicker than others, those with a high glycemic - http://Www.Purevolume.com/search?keyword=glycemic index. When these foods are eaten, the standard pancreas would answer with a huge increase of insulin, keeping blood sugars below about 160 mg/dL. In the diabetic, the pancreas can't or does not produce adequate insulin fast enough to adequately control glucose - http://www.Britannica.com/search?query=glucose quantities. Additionally, in Type II diabetics, the cells of the body that use glucose for metabolic power can't absorb the additional glucose as quickly as it is produced.

Food items that usually increase the blood glucose faster than diabetics are able to metabolize it include: sugar, alcoholic beverages, glucotrust Dr oz - https://www.federalwaymirror.com/national-marketplace/glucotrust-reviews... high-fructose corn syrup, fructose (fruit sugar) (in several folks), pasta, white potatoes, white rice, white bread, along with any other simple carbohydrates & starches.
